          True, you’d wouldn’t vote, and you’d throw anyone that did in the gulag. Dear Leader Kim/Xi/Stalin doesn’t need votes.

            Nice assumption but I live in the imperial core.

            Also, I dunno if you know this, but America has more people in prison for non violent crimes than all of those countries, lmao.

              Oh. Well then it turns out you would vote for Hitler!

              Or more likely, you’d just stand by and let Hitler take power, and spend your time protecting him against those willing to fight back.

                Hitler got into power because a bunch of people voted for “the lesser evil”, who then handed Hitler the reigns. Do you not know history?

                  Yes. Hitler was the new non-political guy with great ideas. He made a great alternative to the tired old “lesser evils”.

                    ??? No??? Hitler got appointed chancellor by Hindenburg, with the support of a nominally centre-left coalition, specifically arguing that this is how it had to be just this one election, because it was the most important election of their lifetime.
                    Hitler was not seen as a lesser evil, he was seen more less as Trump was - a populist demagogue. And, just like Trump, he was handed the reigns to power by a bunch of liberals talking about “the lesser” evil.
