    Voting D is that token. It doesn’t fix shit, especially considering the genocide but it will be a slower decline of human rights then the alternative.

    by any logic it accelerates the decline. it gives a clear signal that they can get away with anything as long as they can project a worse alternative.

      “Enabling mediocrity of non-fascists is a faster decline into fascism than literally electing a fascist”

      Even by your own assertions on the matter of what electing Dems does, this is absurd.

        Still less absurd than you blaming the few people who don’t vote for your cult.

        The right is because of the right, firstly. Then secondly, it’s because the people in literal power right now did shit with it.

      There is not enough time for a revolution before the election.

      Reality is people will have to make a choice D/R or neither. No matter how they chose there will be either a D or R in political power.

      If you have a proposition that will actually guarantee a different outcome i am willing to listen…

      My personal take is to wait till the second this power game is over and hard dictatorship is avoide. start then. At the very least you will have many more people willing to join. Currently your just hurting the credibility of your own cause.

        We have the same admin and reps until January, so even before the election people can start doing what they should have been doing all along and participate in more than just a vote. I’ll say it again, this genocide didn’t start a few weeks ago (when the “don’t vote for genocide” meme started), it didn’t start last October, it didn’t begin on any other major event that got the media attention for a while, it’s been decades, almost a century, of illegality and oppression and killing.

        Also a reminder, if you’re of one party or another and a different party gets into the seat, they are still your representative. You do not have to wait to get a matching letter to call them and praise or bitch about what they are doing.

        what credibility anything will have when harris says that america has voted for her with the policy to continue arming israel to any extent ? a policy she has repeated multiple times during her campaign without leaving any ambiguity.

        what’s stopping her from saying this is the will of the american people and start locking up any protest in name of antisemitism ?

        and its not just israel, her policy on fracking and inflation is no better. life for working class has become hell in last four years, corporate greed is out of control and her campaign has been just “trump this trump that, vote me else you will have trump.”

        If you have a proposition that will actually guarantee a different outcome i am willing to listen…

        only outcome that will bring any iota of change is one in which popular vote clearly suggests we don’t want trump or harris.

          What planet are you on that you believe that this could happen or that it would make anything better in any way whatsoever?

            if its not possible to happen then stop harassing others with these utterly vile memes. all it does is shows the world what a broken vile society we have become.

            if the number that doesn’t want to vote harris or trump is insignificant then why is every left community being brigaded with this kinda trash begging to give our support to a child murdering, pro fracking, prison slavery shill. you guys are no better than the racist bigots supporting trump.

              BoTh SidEs!

              There’s a huge difference between a majority and a minority big enough to sway it for idiot weirdo geriatric genocidal trump, with his out loud promise to kill leftists for their political views, but you’re not so hot on spotting differences, are you?

                yes he has said he will appoint a special prosecutor for biden and his administration. that’s not a good enough reason to vote someone for presidency when she should be jailed alongside biden, blinken and made to watch their warcrime footage for life. these sellouts deserve it.

          2016? Hmm… wasn’t that the year Bernie asked everyone to support the nominee vs. Trump and one in ten of them did the exact opposite and voted Trump instead?

          Between that and 2020, it’s no surprise if no one takes third party or its voters seriously. Don’t blame anyone else for this. You did it to yourselves.

            2016 was also the year when dnc rigged the primaries and fcked the country.

            yes we got what we deserved for supporting that. since then dnc and morons who keep posting these disgusting memes have made sure to see what dnc is. a corrupt party of leeches who only pretend to care about blm and lgbt while doing genocide.
