A reminder that between now and November 6, everyone saying "Don't Vote for Kamala", is actually saying "Vote for Trump". Especially when they're saying it in the comments for an article about fascists being fascist.
There are only two candidates that we can vote for with a chance of winning this year. There are no serious third party candidates to campaign for. While I wish this wasn't the case, not "voting for the lesser evil" either means voting for the greater evil, or not voting at all.
If you actually want to avoid full-blown Fascism in America, stop fucking carrying water for Trump every chance you get.
The world empire ruling over humanity with an iron fist, who's founding act was the liquidation of an entire continents worth of people is somehow not "full blown fascist" yet.
Can you explain in detail why there are only two viable political parties?
Troll bait taken...
Because that's the way it's been since 1852. It was the same way before 1852 but at least one of the parties had a different name. The system would need a structural change (like ranked choice voting) to enable a viable 3rd party to exist.
Yup, that makes perfect sense when you put it like that. This is precisely how Germany avoided fascism in 1930s, they just voted for the lesser evil and everything worked out great.
It's funny how no matter how your sarcasm is interpreted, it's still factually wrong.
It's funny how you expose yourself as being historically illiterate. German nazis never won more than 37% of the vote while there were still democratic elections in place. First chapter here discusses the rise of fascists in Italy and nazis in Germany. Let's take a look at what actually happened.
French liberals siding with NR against the NPF is a perfect modern example of history repeating as well.
you've made a self referential comment I see
So what you're saying is that you know embarrassingly little about what happened in the March 1933 German federal election...
Spoiler: Hitler won because the fascists slaughtered their political enemies and seized power undemocratically.
If you think that you can avoid something like this by "not voting for the lesser evil", I don't know what to tell you. Until I have reason to believe that the election will be overthrown, I'll be cautiously looking for warning signs (there are some already), and I will vote for the party that isn't openly and proudly spewing Fascism.
Amazing counterpoint you've mustered there. Maybe read my follow up comment before making a clown of yourself?
