I have an interest in driving out the fascists from the public sphere. The best way to do that is to marginalize them as much as possible.
They control the Republican party, so the Republican party must end. And the best way to do that right now is to boost their most viable challenger.
Indeed.
When the fascists have been driven out of the public sphere, we're going to have to do something about that.
That's the problem with the first-past-the-post voting system. It necessarily limits you to two choices, which frequently means you're merely picking the one you dislike least.
Rare "fuck the police" and "fuck climate change" intersection.
You named two issues. Granted, they are big issues, but they aren't as big as Trump openly promising to turn America into a fascist state.
I mean, Trump is openly promising to wreck American democracy and use the military against protestors on American soil at this point. There's a lot of problems with Harris, sure, but to say they're the same is to admit your own ignorance.
I mean, that's kind of what they did. The Post was absolutely flooded with opinion columns calling out the paper and Bezos for their cowardice, and most of their editorial board has resigned at this point.
Perhaps, but Trump is outright promising it. He is flat out saying he'll deploy the National Guard and the military against the "enemy from within".
Please look up the Kent State Massacre.
It didn't just end with arrests.
I don't mind saying on this account that I'm from Wichita. Which is a great town, except for the fact that it's in Kansas.
Nixon started the rot with the Southern Strategy. Reagan made it so much worse. Both of them were complete and utter pieces of shit.
Yeah, if you want a healthy, nontoxic Republican party, you gotta go back to Eisenhower.
I voted a week ago. Apparently that was a smart move, because my friends who voted this week have been saying the lines are looooooooooong. Which is a good problem to have, IMHO. Love that people are voting early.
