        I hate to break it to you… but Harris is schooled in the nuts and bolts of fascism - unlike Trump, who is merely good at cosplaying as a fascist.

        I’m not telling you not to vote for her - you don’t really have a choice - but know that everything the libs do at this point is just going to empower the fascists more. It’s been a positive feedback loop for a while now.

            Liberal, try to think critically.

            Has any of the Dems conveyed to you the plans they have of dealing with the whole “inexorable-slide-to-fascism” problem other than telling you to kick the can four years down the road?

          I would kinda agree with you if Biden didn’t step down. I was thinking Biden is running his campaign so bad that he must be controlled opposition in order to make Trump look better.

          But now? Really? Kamala is going to bring us to fascism? She has people around her that would call her out. Trump doesn’t. That’s the problem.

            She has people around her that would call her out that is as invested in protecting the status quo as she is.

            FTFY. I guess that means you don’t actually know what role fascism plays in maintaining the liberal order?

            Trump doesn’t. That’s the problem.

            Oh, absolutely. It’s part and parcel of Trump’s generalized incompetence. Liberals want the POTUS to do what the US has always done - do fascism outside US borders. Fascists want the POTUS to do fascism inside US borders. Trump is too incompetent to do either. Harris is perfectly competent to do the former - ie, business as usual - which means more colonialism coming home to roost as fascism (as the leftists like to point out) which will find rapid utility protecting the rampant and unrestricted parasitism of runaway “free market” capitalism at the expense of the US working class.

            A perfect feedback loop that is delivering predictable results.

        And then the administration she was apart of had a massive increase in police funding, it’s almost like politicians say whatever is convenient at the moment & do what benefits the power structures that they’re connected to later.

            I’m against all of them.

            Edit: I’m an anarchist & I became an anarchist because of my experience as an activist in electoral politics.

                    “I don’t think…”

                    Edit: Convincing yourself Harris is a good person isn’t tactical voting.
