Somehow “not facism” isn’t enough for some people
Funding genocide is fascist.
It's literally not actually. All political ideologies are capable of genocide when taken to extremes, and many have done so. Colonial America, Stalinist Russia, too many absolute monarchies to count...none of those were fascist, but they were genocidal. We associate genocide with fascism because of the Holocaust, but they're two different concepts.
Fascism is fascism, not sure what you are on about. A vote for Trump or Jill is just a vote for genocide here with the rhetoric the right is currently spouting. But I guess fuck trans rights, immigrants, the climate, and the economy because your hill to die on is peace in the Middle East. JFC
I agree. Voting for Jill will fund the trashcan with one ballot. So I guess I'll have to take the advice of Uncommitted and vote Harris because I am against Donald instead of for Harris.
Why do you think you had to resort to mental gymnastics there?
Why do you think Donald "finish them" "best King of Israel" "Biden is trying to hold Netanyahu back, he should be doing the opposite" Trump would be better for Gaza, or how do you think anyone other than Harris or Trump could become president, or how do you think that letting Trump win absolves you of complicity? Inaction is a moral choice, and it's not like you haven't been warmed that Trump is today the most fascist candidate this close to the presidency in our lifetimes.
The mental gymnastics of... listening to what Uncommitted has asked voters to do?
Bro the overly repetitive usage of that word won't guarantee you the votes, and worst, may even deter people from voting
By most definitions (some require national malitia backing) it’s fascism. Why mince words or pretend the current rhetoric isn’t following the exact same route as previous iterations?
