    Preserving the regressive status quo and protecting the laws of white supremacy our government currently enforces is destroying society.

      Leading the way to a new age of unbridled fascism and actively enabling white supremacy is destroying society.

        Fascism has been here for decades, but most people think fascism will come in looking like oppression and tyranny. If you are among the privileged class, fascism is presents itself as safety, normalcy, status quo, and tradition.

          … You mean privilege like the ability to let Trump back into office without risking your own skin?

            Your party created Trump and they will always have a version of trump. The fact that he is in there is your party’s doing

              So then by this logic, you’re a democrat? Since you’re trying your best to elect “our creation”. (btw I’m not a “democrat” I just have no choice but to vote for them currently since I’m not a privileged sociopath)

              edit: also you didn’t answer the question because how could you? It’s privilege and we both know it.

                Socialists don’t vote for conservatives like Republicans or Democrats. Trying to distance yourself by proclaiming I’m not a Democrat but have no choice is like driving the getaway car and claiming innocence.

                My skin is at risk regardless of which shade of fascism sits in the halls of government. And so is every other marginalized group out there. They remain marginalized regardless who you vote for

                  As it gets closer to election day I’m really finding myself missing 2016’s Bernie Bro.

                  They were the more creative and interesting version of the generic third party posters that fill the role these days.

                  You can pretend voting for anyone but a democrat will help anything, but that is either indicative that you’re actually a republican or extremely opposed to being logical about this.
