    Yes, and we need a revolution if we can’t effect change from within the current system.

    BUT THE FUCKING POINT is that WHILE THE SYSTEM STILL EXISTS, NOT SUPPORTING THE DEMS ENDS UP SUPPORTING FASCISM.

      Supporting either is a support of fascism, as the Democrats, being a neoliberalist party, fundamentally enable fascism. This bullshit didn’t just spring up overnight, it was the result of generations of political fuckery by the owning class to slowly and methodically consolidate power while keeping the working class pacified with bread and circuses.

      Your simple, fallacy logic doesn’t fly. Real change doesn’t come from a ballot box.

        That is exactly the arguments a Republican shill would use.

        Even if both options are fascist, one of them is clearly less fascist. And unless you make sure a third option exist, not voting on the less fascist option will give you the more fascist option.

          Lol if you think that’s the argument of Republicans then you are desperately unread in leftist theory.

          We don’t play that bs, reactionary “lesser evil” bullshit.

            Or you are desperately unread in Republican theory. The post we are all commenting on is about you.

            Having to rely on the lesser evil is a result of a 2-party system, which is a result in a winner-takes-all system.

            If you want to break the system, go right ahead. But until then, your mentality is what caused Republicans to win and the US to slide even faster into fascism. This is the reality. Not whatever utopian view you have of the world.

            So congratulations, you played yourself.

            Unless you don’t live in the US of course, which looks to be more likely every comment you make.
