I'm saying we have a choice between a system that takes from them to distribute fairly to all and a system that creates an absolute authority wherein human lives have no value aside from what they produce.

Make the right choice, volunteer for the DNC, contact your representatives and ask them to shut down the government next reconciliation. The only way to save hundreds of millions in this country from injustice and protect the people for the longterm future is to remove the GOP from power via the DNC.

it's a false dichotomy, and I'm a little too old and jaded to fall for it again. I've seen them pull too much shit to still believe they actually want an end to fascism.

I write blue reps and they say "thank you for your opinion" and then they still play nice with fascists. and when anyone tries to hold them accountable there's always a clown going "left unity! stick to the script, we're the only option you have". if that doesn't sound like a rug pull to you, I think some of the paint got in your ears

They have no power and fascism exists as a result, there should be no clearer indicator that they're not part of the fascism.

You also don't have a third option between them and the fascism.

Demonstrably when we voted them into power previously the fascism went away. I think we should keep doing that, and also get them a decent majority unlike the 48 or less senators they've had for over 10 years.

okay so now we just are lying. there were plenty of options that came and went because they didn't offer enough kickbacks to the oligarchs.

but here we are having 3 simultaneous conversations with someone who is admittedly pretty exhausting. I don't have it in me to keep humoring the routine you're still on 12 hrs later and I'm deescelating because I was already a dick to somebody today so I'm just going to link you to the last person who called you fucking stupid. Looks like mods are starting to get kind of sick of you too which is the first I've seen on this instance so maybe you're about done with this anyway. Perhaps it would help you to just go get a bowl of ice cream and call it a day?
