The authoritarian left and the liberal left have so little in common that it's frustrating the term "left" encompasses both.

There are other, more introspective, ways to react to widespread and ongoing negative reception.

Norwegian here. Blame entirely justified. Our greenwashing is gross and dishonest.

Thanks for answering! I was afraid it would be taken as sarcasm but I genuinely wanted to know.

If you were to give an estimate: How many of the people fundamentally disagreeing with you online are rational and honest people, and how many are US federal agents or in their employ? Percentage-wise.

It's like a strawman made from artificial grass.

It's a shit voting system. But the election is happening. How to effect a mass general strike large enough to change the voting system and introduce a new candidate with a chance of winning within two months?

Because that is needed in order to safely tell people not to vote.

In real, actionable, practical terms: What is the alternative you propose people choose, that will reduce the likelyhood of a fascist government right now at this election?

That is a valid question in isolation, but bringing it up in discussions on where to vote is not leading to discussions or actionable improvements. It only functions to push voter disenfrachisement.

Not saying it's your intention, but it is your effect.

Voting least bad is important. Don't discourage it.

Working for better voting options is also important. Do push for that too, but find a constructive setting for it.

My new political platform will be like Fascism but built on demonizing the dead instead of living minorities. They are easy targets. Buncha freeloaders.

Seeing the... type... of people who can't handle fact checking, I am relieved it is in place.

Behold, I will immediately misrepresent what you said

Yeah imagine doing that

 

This reminded me of myself age 8-9 when I would get stressed if I didn't "undo" any rotations of my body, or rounds around a table. Quite to the annoyance of my teachers and parents. Did anyone else have a phase similar to this?
