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.
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.
