For all that leftists insist 'liberals always choose fascism,' y'all seem real insistent about not stopping an outright fascist.

Which one are you talking about?

It is hilarious that you think that voting for one of two fascists is stopping fascism. It’s sad that you believe Americans are actually participants in their government and not victims of it.

Fascists do not care about democracy or voting. You cannot stop a fascist with an election. Just look to history for examples, Hitler never won an election. Neither did Mussolini. They both seized power in a crisis. Why is this important? Because even if the American election was real and not rigged (of which it is) the fascists will push the country to a crisis and take power anyway.

There is only one way out of this for the Americans and they are refusing to take it seriously or act. It isn’t voting. I hope they can choose non violence and this looks like calling for a constitutional convention to start, the actual structure of their government is fundamentally broken and cannot be fixed with its own processes by design. The Frozen Republic by Daniel Lazare How the Constitution is Paralyzing Democracy.

The Americans will not choose this though, they are a damaged and deeply violent society who prefer death over life and will make the wrong choice and the entire world will suffer.

Choose your Hitler pleb, oh by the way we fixed all the districts ahead of time to ensure our results anyway.

Biden is to the right of both.

Thatcher saw Israel committing genocide and she imposed a 10 year arms embargo on Israel.

Mussolini's granddaughter, open fascist Italian PM Meloni, just announced Italy will no longer send arms to Israel

How dare you not support Fascism Lite™, clearly you're racist, sexist, homophobic, you hate freedom, you hate America, and clearly you're a Russian bot. The party demands you blindly vote for it, blindly support it, and never critique it. How else are we supposed to protect Democracy™ from The Bad Guys™?

Blue no matter who! Vote “,la” and if you dare vote any other way you are automatically an evil fascist racist horrible excuse for a human. /s

I feel like Queen Victoria would be more apt in terms of the scale of carnage wrought

I’m pretty sure Margaret Thatcher would be turning in her grave if she knew she was being compared to Harris.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Instead she is turning on a spit roast somewhere.

I’m a really big fan of depraved sex but you wouldn’t catch me on either end of a Margaret Thatcher spit roast.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Don't worry, nobody deserves that.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Only because Harris is black. A racist, sexist, classist conservative woman who spent a good chunk of her life locking up minorities for life over non violent crimes and attempting keep wrongly convicted citizens behind bars? Thatcher loves all of that.

That's some catch, that Catch-22

It's the best there is.
