Well at least we got rid of Biden.
Bidens why we’re here dude.
If instead of insisting Biden be the candidate from 2023-2024, if we could have had a real primary, quite literally ALL of this could have been prevented.
Don’t excuse these Nazi’s actions by pointing at Biden. Biden didn’t turn them into Nazis.
But Biden’s poor management of the Democrats let the Nazis take power.
Any asshole trying to be President over 70 is a problem.
“It’s not the bad guys’ faults, it’s the fault of everyone else for not stopping the bad guys.”
You are an ass hat.
And if they hadn’t put their thumb on the scale for Hillary in 2016, and she hadn’t decided to reach for some imaginary middle razor thin between corporate liberals and fascists, Trump would just be another dumb clown that tried to be a Republican presidential candidate.
Ten years later and you’re still talking about Bernie losing the primary.
Yes, because if we weren’t captured by a single-party corporate system we wouldn’t be in this mess. Reactionary fascism arises from the material immiseration of the people. If the Democrats were beholden to improving the lives of citizens rather than clinging to power and corporate interests, we would not be in this mess.
the far left and the far right will themselves to their glorious climax
Are the far left in the room with us right now?
“Only extremists are pushing for conflict.”
This is a disastrously ill-informed perspective. There is no historical precedent for an electoral solution to rising fascism. There is no historical precedent for an electoral solution to massive wealth inequality.
Stop scrolling and sit with these facts. Then stop rage-posting and start planning.
OK, I don’t think you’re actually correct. It sounds cool though. It was not only German, Italy, Japan, and Spain that had rising fascism. There was famously a coup planned (The Business Plot) in the US. There were also large movements in France and England too.
This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t prepare. It’s to say do that and vote. Voting takes so little effort that there’s no excuse not to.

What if you have two kids under your watch and work won’t let you take off?
Voting in America is extremely difficult compared to other countries. Just saying “its so easy, just do it” overlooks the plethora of strategies the ruling class uses to disenfranchise voters.
Also, this is all assuming ICE isn’t patrolling every polling station come midterms. At that point, I dont think anyone could honestly say “voting is easy”
Normal answer is absentee voting, but that’s part of the reason MAGA has been going after it so hard.

28 states require employers to give, at least, some time during work hours to vote by law. Beyond that, many states have mail in voting of some kind, or early voting, or both. Obviously some states don’t give you much for options, but it’s worth a try.
Of course, the fact of the matter is, this may be the last time you have to try and save what’s left of this country from diving into a fascist dictatorship. I’d say make the effort FOR your kids. Don’t make excuses because of them.
