So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I’m not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

    Thanks for saying it so clearly.

    People would rather vote for the slow death of America than the fast death of America.

    People. You don’t need to vote for the death of America. You have that choice.

    They conditioned you to think you must support evil.

    We can still show that we don’t support evil.

      Are you talking about protesting by not voting or wasting a vote on a 3rd party? Without ranked choice voting, the only good spot for that is primaries and small local elections. The lesser of two evils is still the lesser of two evils. Life will be a hell of a lot worse for tons of people if the former guy wins again.

        The problem is that eventually the GOP is going to win a presidential election. In a 2-party system, it’s an eventuality, no ifs, ands, or buts.

        Unless we radically reshape our government, that GOP fascist takeover being planned for now IS going to happen, but Democrats aren’t even talking about that, they’re just trying to cling to the broken status quo for as long as they can.

        Right, and that is why I’m not saying to vote for a third party.

        I am saying don’t vote.

        Stop humoring a broken system.

          That’s not a solution and the same result as voting for a third party. No one in America is going to care that you didn’t vote.
