    There is no moving the goal post, I asked a simple question, since the premise was the same in 2020, “vote Biden to defeat the rise of fascism”, I’m asking how effective that was. Did it work? Was the rise of fascism stopped? Altered? Slowed down?

        That’s not really anything to brag about when we are now in worse shape than before.

          Hey, the Earth won’t last forever. Eventually all life will end. So maybe we should just let it all end asap. Keeping it going is nothing to brag about since we’ll lose in the end anyway. Is that right?

          Or maybe we should make the best of the time we have. Maybe we should push back against fascism and corruption and destruction, even if our victories don’t last forever. What do you think? Is it worth defeating a fascist leader once even if fascism can still eventually return, or is it all just a waste of effort and we should just roll over and die?

            But you didn’t defeat the fascist leader. He’s in power now. And a lot of people told you this would happen if you kept the same strategy. Yet you insisted it was the right one.

              You’re saying that people me stuff and that I insisted on whoever… who exactly do you think I am? I haven’t insisted on anything like what you’re talking about.

              In any case, I think you’ll find that in the previous election the fascist leader did in fact lose. That does count as a defeat for them, doesn’t it?
