Wow, that is a jump. I’m curious, how did you get here from my comment?

Yes, I agree. But in our current climate we have media and not a whole lot of social interaction. So for all intents and purposes currently media is driving our culture.

The media creates the culture.

You can both vote and organize. Why vote? The more fascist the government is the harder it is to organize. For only 15 minutes every 2 years, it’s actually a pretty powerful tool. It may not move things left but it slows down the fascism.

Thanks, yes, in this case I think it makes sense to vote third party.

Ah, I see, you have done the math. Ok, this is the only condition which I would consider voting 3rd party not morally dubious. Thanks!

All that hard work and compromise and yet, you can’t bring yourself to get your hands a little dirty by voting for the lesser evil. You are accelerating the rate at witch your friends die by police. For what reason?

That is because you are effectively throwing your vote away.

Or you don’t care or want to give the more evil of the two dominate parties a small advantage while telling yourself you are good. I guess you do you.

I think firewitch’s point was that third parties almost by definition have zero chance of getting a candidate elected in a first past the post system. This is pretty common knowledge.

Says the person who never has done evil ever. /s

My friend, I don’t know how you are still alive. The only action these days that doesn’t involve some kind of negative consequence is breathing air.

For the rest of us who actually do stuff, so you can whine at us from your computer, we make compromises all the time. That is life.

Prior to the second election of trump. I would wholeheartedly agree with you.

But as time goes on, it’s looking like we don’t have a democracy but a fascist dictatorship or oligarchy. In which case accelerationism may actually be the lesser evil.

I don’t think that is what OP is referring to. I interpreted it as the strange measuring stick tankies use to compare the democrats and the republicans. Even accelerationists agree that the Republicans are way worse than the democrats.

Lately, they have been trying to tell me that North Korea is a democracy.

They’ve been doing this for every election for quite some time now.

The trick here is they don’t actually care if it’s autistics or not. They just want want to create another “other” for society to Target. So you’ll get them blasting this on news all over the United States of America " see this perfectly normal looking heartbeat, this is the autism heartbeat. We needed to put whoever this terrible person is in whatever terrible position we’re going to put them in".

It’s just like sending people to El Salvador with mom tattoos. They don’t care if they’re in a gang or not.

I don’t understand why this is so hard for you to understand. There were only two options in the last election. Yeah, the Dems were shit, but they were way less fascist.

If you didn’t vote for the Democrats you were voting for fascism. You enabled the fascist party of the United States of America to take charge. You helped fascists take charge of the most powerful country in the world.

As I’ve stated before, there was no vote that you could make that wasn’t going to result in genocide. This whole no voting /voting for a third party thing is just a virtue signal. It’s to make you feel good and that’s it.

What really makes me sick is it seems like you have no remorse. We didn’t know how bad Trump would be. But now that we do know you don’t seem to care.

At least I feel bad about the dead Palestinians. You seem to have no remorse whatsoever over the harm and death that will be caused by the people that you have helped put into power.

I hope you realize it eventually and learn from it.

Yes, 100 percent agree. Dems are useless. They could have really made a good showing when Trump started to do the fascist shit. But they decided to roll over and be smug about it.

What do you think you are accomplishing by being such an insufferable ass?

Did you forget you were calling me progenocide a couple replies ago? I’m sorry I was just following the vibe. I guess you can dish it but you can’t take it.

Assuming what is in heart incorrectly doesn’t counter my facts.

I didn’t vote for the Dems because of loan forgiveness, I voted for them because they were the least fascist option.

It’s ok though, I understand you are struggling with how your vote supported rapidity brining fascists to power. The large amount of death caused by the loss of USAID. Sending of innocent people to El Salvador concentration camp. Autistic people being marked as non-human. And look at that, it isn’t even half way though the first year of this term.

Literally, your only hope right now for a good outcome is if soo many people die that we 180 out of this with a revolution that somehow doesn’t result in another authoritarian being in charge soon. Seriously, shit is soo fucked right now, I have become an accelerationist.

We all did, we all voted for it. We didn’t all vote for fascism though. That was a you thing probably.

No matter what action you took in this last election. You were voting for genocide.

• Republican - genocide
• Democrat - genocide with less fascism.
• No vote - The two major parties are pro-genocide so you are genocide by default.
• Third party - none of the third party candidates had a chance so genocide by default.

So accusing anyone of voting for genocide is kind of silly because everyone did. No one really had a choice.
