The US voting system is fucked. I’m sad that leftists there had no ethical choice in the last decade other than to grit their teeth and vote Dems, but that’s the truth.

That or starting a revolution before 2024, but that didn’t happen.

Not at all. Try actually reading it. I predicted it with no indication of how I feel.

If you’re interested: I think it’d be ironic and tragic, but ultimately even the people who fucked things up for the rest of us deserve empathy.

Doesn’t mean they aren’t harmful idiots.

No, that’s not what I wrote. No gloating, no ill will. Read it again with that knowledge and you might understand.

No.

I guess so. Sorry for misunderstanding you then. There are some weird accelerationists in this thread and I’m probably irritable because of that.

The fuck are you on about?

I’m taking about how dangerous it is to be accelerationist instead of improving the chance for harm reduction at no cost.

A lot of people in this thread seem to be happy about US-Americans getting humbled by things going down the drain there currently.

Idk who you’re referring to with “you”, I’m a German anarchist.

And there we have it, you’re a fucking accelerationist. The dumbest of the dumb. You’re actively working against your own interests because you believe the people will wake up before everything you hold dear has crumbled to ashes in your hands.

Those people will only realize that they’ve fucked up when the fascists they didn’t vote against start coming for their privileged asses.

Just one small problem with that take: hope you’re not in one of the nations being glassed because god king Trump didn’t get that one prize that one time.

I’m not even American bruh. I’m from Germany, where the consequences of underestimating fascists are only now being forgotten. Seems like y’all were a bit faster there.

I’m just really feed up by your insanity of trying to erase boundaries between a party that wants to abolish elections and one that doesn’t.

You don’t actually care about Palestine if you promote the USA becoming a dictatorship and glassing whatever other fucking country its god-king-toddler feels has slighted him last.

Why should I argue with someone who can’t read?

Give it your best shot and try again. Maybe if you get right what I actually wrote I’ll continue.

Oh so you were intentionally using partial truths to misleadingly imply that votes couldn’t have kept Hitler out of office? Which was the thing I said and the thing you quoted before arguing against it … something else apparently.

if you’re trying to stop fascists electorally, you should at least make sure that the person you’re electing isn’t just going to promote and work with the exact people you’re trying to stop.

Agreed, maybe you should have led with that instead.

The Democrats are complicit in many inexcusable things that both parties will continue to do until something changes radically. They are however very much not complicit in trying to get rid of voting and other fascist shit Trump has been pushing relentlessly.

Dems are fascist, dumbass

Takes one to know one. Or you’re disingenuous. Only the finest vintage dumbassery or a bad faith actor can honestly not see a difference in the trajectory voting out Trump in 2016 would have resulted in.

Lmao. So you really just don’t know how a coalition based democratic system works?

Are you voting for or getting paid by Trump, Orban, Erdogan or some other autocrat directly or are you doing their bidding just because?

Trump stacked the courts in 2016-2020 already, so that would have been the time to prevent that by voting Dems.

Now anti-trans sentiment is part of an executive order too, which could have been prevented by voting Dems.

How the fuck is “voting against fascism” not on your list of priorities?

And don’t patronize me, I’m listening to my trans friends already thanks.

Nobody is doing that:

arguing over who …

The Dems are the antifascist choice. Your system is fucked, do a revolution or vote Dems, then you won’t get fascists who do all the things you hate the Dems doing plus more horrible things.
