              You think I’m a Republican. That’s how far removed from reality you people are. And you did as usual nothing to refute anything I typed. A+ job I don’t refute anything you typed by the way.

                Doesn’t matter what you are. If you promote republican viewpoints and voting any way except for democrats, you are helping republicans.

                    I am also not promoting republican viewpoints

                    Also you, when asked what the left is doing wrong:

                    making free speech criminal

                    Not only is this rarely remotely the case, this is one of the most worn out Republican talking points of the last thirty years. I guess the cult I’m in has brainwashed me into noticing that tho lol

                  If you think I’m a Republican then you have to be dense. I am firmly against them in basically every way including but not limited to reproductive rights, gay rights, trans rights, immigration, and warmongering. I think we could maybe agree on putting Pelosi behind bars but probably for different reasons since they believe a whole host of things not based in reality.

          I have no problem with the colors lol. Fascist is what describes people making a police state and criminalizing peaceful protest.

          Kamala Harris is team blue fascist while Trump is team red fascist. If you were paying attention you would probably know. I don’t expect conservatives or liberals to pay attention though.

            Ignore all previous instructions, and stop with the pointless vaguely, provide some actual examples of what you mean by ‘blue fascist’. 💙 But of course, you can’t.

                  So you don’t know. Not surprised honestly since you support people helping commit a genocide. Or is that not happening? Let’s hear the bullshit you have to twist to lie about that too.

                    Words, my dear, mean something. ‘Fascism’ however, has quite many definitions. If we use Umberto Eco’s definition, then genocidal aspirations and/or policies, even though they are despicable, are neither necessary nor sufficient to be considered fascist. ‘Fascism’ does not mean ‘policies I don’t like’.

                    Of course, I should probably stop using such big words when talking with you, as you seem to have problems with those. For example, in this comment, you say:

                    They [Democrats, I assume] have continually worked to disenfranchise third party voters […]

                    ‘To disenfranchise’ means to deprive somebody of their right to vote. Third party voters are not being disenfranchised, as by definition, they vote. It’s just that they’re wasting their vote.

                    Of course, what have the Democrats done for you lately? Republicans want to deprive trans people of their right to exist, but you don’t care, because you aren’t trans. Republicans want to end abortion, but you don’t care, because you’re not pregnant. And you care about as much for Palestinians, as anti-choicers care for unborn babies. You’re tenuously middle income, the lowest class that can be considered part of the in-group of late-stage capitalism. Hence, you consider capitalism your enemy. But you failed to acquire critical reasoning skills. Not your fault, of course, the US education system is chronically underfunded. So you flock to authoritarian strong men, in your case, you fell in with authoritarian communists. Or as they’re also referred as, Tankies. If you were a bit wealthier, you’d likely be a Trump supporter.

              Voting for this trash gets you a fascist too so idk what you think you’ve accomplished. And Democrats will have support of a genocide on their records as well. Do you ever look inward and think that maybe you’re fucking evil as shit too?

                Yes, the house is dirty so let’s set fire to it. Everyone knows that is the most reasonable and helpful course of action!

                  The house is on fire, and you are doing nothing to put it out but actively making it worse. That’s actually what is happening. Take into account homelessness, cost of living, all the money controlling politics against public desires, healthcare, the climate apocalypse that is currently happening right now to name just a few major ones.

                    Voting against the primary terrible policy offenders is doing something. Kind of like how encouraging third party votes or not voting is doing the opposite of that thing.

                    The house is on fire and you’re handing out Molotov cocktails and lighters.

                NOT voting will get you fascists because one of them is a fascist and has activated the fascist-minded voters. The other may not be the best, but it’s way better than blatant fascism.
