Yeah, but we don't live in a democracy. At best it's a pseudo democracy. I hate the democratic party with a passion, but I'm pretty fucking scared of the fascists. I don't think there's any real way for normal people to influence our government at this point through the electoral process.

Hard to say that the Democrats are any less fascist. They are, after all, trying to ban "malinformation" - aka "the truth, but makes us look bad".

After all, it's unamerican is acknowledge American war crimes. Or Hunter's laptop, or where COVID was developed, or that Biden is senile.

I agree. However, my perception (which may be misguided) is that the democratic party is marginally less fascist. I simply want our society to eek our way out of this mess and a Trump return doesn't seem to me to be our way out.

Less proud of it, I would say.

I would ask this:

If you believe that the GOP would never represent your interests (which is not unreasonable, for sure) why would you ever support the people who are dedicated to making sure the Democrats never represent your interests either?

This is the time to drive a stake through the heart of the corrupt leadership of the Democrats.

No, actually. The time to do that is the moment elections are over to prepare, fund and support viable primary challengers. That is what is logical.

Yes, nothing brings about change more than supporting the people who oppose it.

I missed when you were knocking doors and gathering petition signatures for a different party. Silly me.

There will never be a viable third party. I e has to fight for control of one of the two existing parties.

Or, you know, either party could try passing popular economic policies.

It beats whining. If women had been such whiners we'd still be private property.

Pretty much a call for revolution. Two money-corrupted parties will NEVER, IN ANY WAY, represent "the people".
