So damn tired of the libs trying to blame us for not wanting to vote for their lesser evil shitty candidate and trying to blame us for any chance of a fascist trump victory. Like dude this is already a fascist state and your shitty party should run a better candidate if you want votes. Anyone have ideas on how to shut their arguments down or is it just ignore the libs and carry on?
Hm, if America is already a fascist country, why would they need your votes to get their candidate elected?
They don’t, but the elections help sell the idea that the US is a democracy rather than a one-party state. Most ppl don’t vote, because they know from experience that it changes nothing.
Also the US is far worse than fascist, which is an ideology that grew out of a desire to emulate the US colonial project.
Narcisstic western-liberal brain-corralling, mostly. The uniparty isn’t exactly subtle anymore; but until recently, they at least pretended to want the People’s consent regarding their invasions and genocides.
EDIT: hol up is this you?
We’re FiGhTIng FoR tHe sOuL Of AmErIcA!1!
Continues criminalizing refugees and poverty, continues funding genocide, escalates economic warfare against China, sends hundreds of thousands of bodies to die or be maimed to protect unipolarity.
“soul of America”, “American values”, “freedom”, “our democracy” are the only things that Democrats can say they “fight for” now because the moment they point to any actual material fight they supposedly uphold even Trump supporters will fact-check them at this point. And leftists will ask “you’re the president, why can’t you do that right now?”.
Ironically, those sound basically identical to age-old Republican talking points. Blue MAGA has never been more accurate.
Fake elections are great to give yourself legitimacy both domestically and abroad.
Is this a genuine question or sarcasm?
Showmanship.
That’s exactly why, they discovered that blatant fascism generates resistance. So they go for obscurant fascism, plausibly deniable fascism. As long as they can keep enough people thinking “it’s not that bad yet” they get to keep playing.
