At least you're honest about it
No reason to hide it.
The shameful thing is being a proud Democrat or Republican after the last 40 years of regression for the American people.
The shameful part is people like you help usher in fascism so you can feel superior
That is numerically impossible.
My side has no power whatsoever.
That's because your side is just you.
I know.
We have no power. I'm just shouting into the void because it's the only recourse I have.
Except to starve the non fascist of a vote which you admitted to
That is a falsehood.
You all deprive yourselves of our votes by failing to follow through on your promises, along with those of the half of this country that can't afford to miss a desperately needed day's pay in order to vote for someone they know is only going to ignore them once elected.
Your party is the problem. You don't get to beat people down and then pretend you're the aggrieved party because they didn't stand up with blood pouring down their faces and ask for more.
- Michael Parenti. (1996). Fascism in a Pinstriped Suit
Many people have been living under fascism in the United States for decades, suffering under explicitly racist police and judiciary systems, fighting against explicitly fascist foreign policy, and trying to wake people up to the explicitly fascist rhetoric of both democrats and republicans.
Dafuq, ai?
Please keep voting.
Would I recommend you vote differently than you say? Maybe, but so what. Just please vote, and encourage others to vote.
Luckily my city has excellent early voting, so it's not too inconvenient.
