    (that is: an election wherein one of the outcomes is “the fascists win”).

    That’s both of the outcomes.

      And this, fellow users, is precisely the sort of false equivalence idiocy I’m talking about.

        No, it’s not a false equivalency at all. It’s the natural result of a strategy which begins and ends with “choose the lesser evil” with no regard for the fact that the lesser and greater evil are becoming steadily more evil every single cycle.

        This path leads to fascism no matter how you try to spin it.

          I’m curious now, before which election cycle was the US significantly less evil than currently?

            Obama was significantly less evil than Biden, who was himself not as competently evil (at the time of his presidency) as Harris is / will be.

            Obama picked Biden as his VP in order to shore up the more evil, racist, conservative side of the Democratic party and undecided “moderates.” He was a segregationist, a virulent racist, a sexual abuser, and a lifelong monster.

            Obama wasn’t a good guy either but the trend is definitely toward greater evil.
