You had a choice OP
Instead you chose secret option d. Make 'both sides equally bad' memes to justify the acceptance of fascism.
Always vote against the fascist. Or revolt.
All 3 points are wrong. 1 There is no status quo, they have demonstrably both gone further right. Which brings me to 2 2 There is only fascism and fascism-light. Genocide Joe also built the wall, deported massively more people:
Bombed civilians in Yemen and displaced half a million people there for his genocidal proxy.
And many mor scummy thing.
3 They will never have a revolution, only placate Trump and move even further to the right to win back some votes.
And people will take it, americans are pacified and harmless, some lame protests are not 'revolution'.
Gullible AF as shown by the massive upvotes you get from the many libs here.
They will all be hearded back into the status quo sytem by Bernie or AOC the new sheepdog puppy in training to prevent revolution or a valid 3rd party.
Sad that even a non-american as yourself, not confined to thinking inside the box can be this wrong.
The other side of the uniparty thinks like you and is refusing to admit their wrongs, how bad do you have to be to not be an alternative to fascists? All of them get what they deserve.
Mate, assuming youre an American, whatever you need to feel better about your inaction is up to you
Bottom line: once an Americans ability to vote is gone all your catchphrases mean nothing. The fascist is the one who will take that action.
American involvement in the middle east has worsened the situation for Palestinians since Trump was elected. That doesn't mean Biden was anything but an awful leader but Trump is worse. Way way worse. Everything he does both foreign and domestic was enabled by those who both voted for him and those who refused to vote against him.
I'm not american, and I don't 'need to feel better', I'm glad that country is destroying itself since they are all horrible, as I explained.
You must be joking, there was nothing left for him to bomb in Palestine and he ruthlessly bombed Yemen, more than Trump did.
I give facts, they are not catchphrases as you demeaningly call it.
All you got is "Trump is worse".
You should move there, you fit right in with the smug and sanctimonius libs shifting blame and vile insults at leftists for what they themselves caused.
If you genuinely think things aren't worse under Trump whilst simultaneously claiming you speak facts then I don't know that you are capable of reason. Couple that with your apologia for excusing voting against fascism and its very obvious you're about as left wing as Thatcher wasn't.
They are worse for themselves, that's all, and all they care about.
The entirety of the Dems program was "let us continue to be shitty and also ignore that little genocide.... or you get Trump and expensive eggs!"
And again you are incapable of understanding voting for them is not "voting against fascism", since they both are and continuing the status quo BS it what got them in this position in the first place. I have zero sympathy for them.
And you certainly should not have an opinion on me being left.
What are you, some English guy voting for Kid Starver and larping as a leftist?
Really, don't bother replying, no use in talking to obstinate people.
Try and parse a bit of reality. By enabling fascism by voting for it or refusing to vote against it you make the situation worse for both those in Palestine and also remove your ability to vote out the person doing this.
And here's you going on about eggs.
No, you were just a genocide denier when it was your team doing it.
Your whole complaint is that people didn't vote for the people doing this.
don't bother with that person. Americans can't understand it, the whole country is corrupted and evil to its roots. And don't even bother trying to explain an american what anarchism is all about or they'll collapse on their own like this guy did
Voting for a corporate Dem IS voting in favor of fascism.
Corporate Dems know that the only path they ever have to power is if the alternative is Republican autocracy. They're too unpopular on their own to have any way of winning an election based on their personality or positions. They can only win by fear. Thus, they cannot actually dismantle fascism. They can't pass reforms stripping the presidency of emergency powers to prevent it from being abused. They can't launch a law enforcement crackdown to finally put MAGA in the ground. They need MAGA. They want MAGA. They need a giant monster standing behind them to terrify the populace into voting for them. That is the only way they can possibly win an election. In fact, they have every incentive to make that monster as big and as terrifying as possible.
Voting for a centrist Dem guarantees eventual holocaust. The Fascists will just keep becoming more extreme and violent, even when the corporate Dems are in power. The occupants of the White House will alternate between Fascists and corporate Dems, moving further to the right each cycle. Eventually they'll start killing people by the millions. Centrist Dems are unable to prevent this. They need fascists in order to get in to power.
And there it is, "if you dare question my genocide denial, you aren't capable of reason!"
Worse for whom?
Things haven't changed a bit for my indigenous neighbors. They are being fucked over just as hard now, as before...
My black neighbors have noticed just as much now as before, cops still abusing their community and their still being ignored economically.
So, worse for white people? Sure.
Worse for non cis people, worse for women, worse for education, worse for immigrants, worse for people in countries being directly and indirectly threatened by your fascist president. Worse for people watching him dismantle all opposition and ultimately worse for anyone who thinks they're going to be able to protest any of this. The fact he hasn't made things worse for your neighbours is because he hasn't got around to it yet. Were less than 6 months in.
How so, specifically, that wasn't happening prior?
Same. How so, specifically?
Public education, to put in the words of Lupe Fiasco:
"Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts If you think that hurts, then wait, here comes the uppercut The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up"
Brown people in the US have always gotten the shit end of the stick, with public education.
What if I told you that Biden was deporting people at a faster rate than Trump is?
Like, which countries? Palestine was being genocided before Trump was elected. And we've been raping under developed nations for a long time. Frankly, a lot of those nations are getting a break now, with Trump's focus on turning the imperialism inwards.
The reason it's not worse for my neighbors, is because they were already under attack by your beloved liberal republic, and have been for centuries.
My what? Are you a child?
I'm fully aware they've been under attack for a long time. I'm saying under fascism it'll get worse. Both for them and for everyone else.
It seems like it's mostly getting worse for white, cishet people. Queer people were already under attack, and being lynched. We've been hammering on immigrants for like... 30 or so years now. etc etc.
Your beloved liberal republic here, the one that loves to genocide people, loves to be racist, loves to put dollars over humans, and loves to start wars to topple democratic societies abroad.
Better for all the people who were already being brutalized by the USA empire and are happy to see it collapse though.
HOW are things worse in the middle east under trump than biden? What is trump doing that is worse than supplying arms for a genocidal carpet bombing campaign like biden was?
No it hasn't, you were just a genocide denier when it was your team doing it. In that sense, the situation is better under Trump because at least BlueMaga shitlibs like you are not denying their genocide anymore.
The economic system in the US guarantees fascism, the rules are made up and votes are don't matter.
I didn't vote because I'm not American. They should revolt that is the only answer.
Votes do matter... Would've voted just a few more against Trump, we wouldn't be in this (I think at this point global) mess...
Should they matter more or should the "democratic" process be quite different (more deliberate), yeah...
At this point though, we need big protests, I agree. Also just to wake up all those (not entirely lost) MAGA idiots...
Hubris is thinking a few liberal voters in america could abate a global trend toward fascism without fundamentally changing anything about our broken capitalist system.
We were in this mess before the election
You supported a genocide.
Really? You're assuming of course that I'm am American citizen, which I'm not, or didn't attend numerous protests to support Palestinians in the country I do live in, which I did.
The whole world is not the USA.
So did you.
Lol. The absolute state of BlueMAGA; reduced to "no, u!"
When there's no wiggle room to try to absolve themselves of allowing and abetting the circus horror show they worship to continue working as intended (because they need it to live comfortably knowing full well that others thousands of KMs away can't), all that's left is a simple "no u".
Westoid chauvinists/jingoists, especially libs who are arguably the most depraved of them all, are fucking annoying to engage with knowing this fact.
Seriously, nobody twists themselves into just incoherent and nonsense rhetorical knots as much as BlueMAGA libs. even the red variety are more coherent.
red variety: "yes actually we are racist and actually hate your guts"
blue: "yes but no but actually but maybe, perhaps, mayhaps, blue eyes, whataboutism, consider the alternative, juxtapose this to that, for instance, in short, in closing, blonde hair matters"
Basically, but with a lot self-righteousness and left-punching.
I mean, you randomly stated they supported a genocide. But yall are cool with letting the repubs win and getting one at home.
Oh, right, we wont have one at home. This time its being outsourced.
Your daily reminder that blueMAGA liberals don't consider Palestinians human
(I'm also curious how they determined op is an American eligible voter in a swing state)
I guess the same way you assumed I am?
I didn't, but I realise "no, U!" Is all you have, so you're going to cram it in regardless.
So when you referred to my comment as 'blueMAGA liberals ' you weren't referring to what I said?
Well that's a completely incoherent non-sequitor, but that's also all BlueMAGA has left.
Why do people keep smugly citing this as the third option when there are a million better options before outright rebellion?
As if any rights or liberties we've won as a working class have ever come from anything other than violent opposition and disruption.
Revolution is the only option for long-term gains, rather than short-term concessions. As long as the bourgeoisie controls the state, they will use it to wind back any concessions they give out temporarily.
