It's easy to understand the leftist claim that liberals always ultimately bend to fascism when you see comments like this that explain the US's turn to fascism is because of leftists(?).
You comprise one of the two sides who blindly vote according to the principle of "he's better than the other guy". I suspect you'd be fine with more genocides in the decades to come only insofar as they're committed by democrats. Meanwhile, actual leftists will continue to imagine better systems, build mutual aid networks, and arm vulnerable comrades. American electotalism isn't going to stop the backslide into fascism or the ecocidal intent of the US ruling class.
Agreed. And if we look even a decade into the future what happens when leftists and progressives voters suddenly start dominating primaries? Are moderates and liberals going to show up in the general elections then? I think we all know the answer.
Fascism isn't a possibility, it's a guarantee and it will be moderates and liberals who are to blame.
