    Last November, it wasn’t voting for status quo on either party, it was status quo vs fascism.

    It was known that it was fascism vs status quo and there is no amount of justification that will make it any different.

    People that protest voted or stayed at home directly helped fascism take power.

    If you think that milquetoast status quo with Dems was bad, you’ll shit on the floor the next few years as your country accelerates into fascism. Trump hasn’t even been in power for 6 months and look at all the damage done.

    We can blame both voters and the system, but in the face of fascism, it wasn’t time to make a statement.

    I hope that the world rearrange itself and leave the US to rot because what is happening right now is fucked up and no amount of mental gymnastics and justifications will make a difference.

    The American people chose fascism, plain and simple.

      You’re incredibly naive if you think fascism just took hold in 2024 and not decades ago. The status quo was fascism too.

        I know that, otherwise we wouldn’t be here today. But at the very fucking least, Americans could have refrained from giving the full reign to a fascist party.

        The voters are as much responsible as the Democrats, but for people like you, that’s fucking hard to grasp that it can be both.

        Keep doing mental gymnastics so that you can sleep at night because the US, and by proxy, the rest of the world, just got a lot worst a lot faster.

        It is a weird moment to take a stance against when an openly fascist candidate is the front runner for the US presidency. Riddle me this.

          You sound like the type of guy who gets bad review after bad review at their job and when they get passed up for a promotion, blames it on something like DEI.

          Absolutely nothing forced the DNC to take such a hard right stance this election after having previously lost using the same terrible strategy. They were more concerned with courting Republican voters and protecting Israel than preserving our democracy and now we’re paying the price for it.

          It is a weird moment to take a stance against

          I’ve held this stance since 2016, so keep reaching. It’s the DNC who’s continually pushed away their base election after election to the point that they’ve handed over control of the entire government to Republicans. If you want to talk about mental gymnastics, maybe you should start there. They’re supposed to be the opposition not controlled opposition.

            What are you babling on about? I get bad review at work because I am mad that the American populace put a fascist party in power?

            Go get bent.

            There is no mental gymnastics here. The DNC is dog shit, the RNC should be dismantled and tried for actively hurting the population as the fascist party they are.

            There wasn’t even a universe where voting Republican was sane, yet here we are with people like you not taking the responsibility of their actions.
