    I’m 4 of the things on the bottom track.

    We need to get Joe Biden elected then make his life hell until he stops funding Israel.

      Hell yeah.

      Maybe we can get him to stop funding Israel before that, even. But first and foremost, fascism must be stopped, for the same reason that the Western Allies sided with the Soviet Union in WW2. We may despise each other, but there is a worse foe afoot.

          Every two years, for decades, you people drag this canard out.

          Maybe you should try paying attention more often than every two years.

          And yet, we just keep getting more fascist.

          Wow, thank you for informing me we’re more fascist now than we were in the 80s, or the 50s, or the 10s.

            I was being charitable, I know you employ it even more often than that.

            removed, you’re the one freaking out about how we teetering at the edge of concentration camps and suspended elections.

              Oh, how terrible, that we try to fight against fascism more often than that.

              removed, you’re the one freaking out about how we teetering at the edge of concentration camps and suspended elections.

              We are in danger of fascism. That’s not the same as being more fascist currently. That’s the point of fascism - overthrow of democratic institutions. Do you think a democratic nation in danger of monarchy is more monarchist than ever before? Is that how you think things work? Fucking lmao.

              But of course, what do you know about fascism? You couldn’t identify it if it put you in a uniform and a rally, shouting slogans worshiping the Great Leader, so long as it was painted red.

              Thanks for not denying that we’re on the edge, btw, really shows how little you care about the destruction of democracy and the murder of minorities. Hell, it almost seems like you’ll be celebrating it.

                  Not sure why you’re stupid enough to think the people who have already been victimized by it, though no fault of their own, would feel anything but joy to see people like you, who actually deserve it, get the same treatment.

                  Yep, you caught me, by voting Dem to hold off fascism a little longer, I actually deserve genocide for the sin of being a minority. What great Leftist theory they teach wherever you went to uni at! They did things differently at my uni.

          Funny how that works… it’s almost like constantly voting for a bunch of rich elites that will reach across the aisle to overt fascists as soon as they are in power has delivered the perfectly predictable outcome.

          I wonder how many of the Genocide Joe gaslighters will be showing up when it’s time to actually throw down with nazis and pigs come post-November… my guess is that they will resort to screeching from the sidelines - same as last time.

        My rep called for a permanent ceasefire. Makes me at least somewhat happy I voted for him.

      To elect the person most likely not to horribly escalate the guaranteed protest post election is quite a strat.

      Who ever said politics were boring? Shits on fire, literally
