    Sorry but in the face of fascism, idealism should take a backseat. You can’t prod a party to do better by voting for the opposition and you shouldn’t punish everyone that is more vulnerable then you are just because you don’t like your options. The time to build is between presidential elections anyways.

      But we didn’t get here yesterday. It took a long, long time, as long as I am old ( I am almost 50), for it to get this hot. And Democrats in the US, Social Democrats in Europe own a lion share of this turn to fascism. They’d really rather change words than meanings. Politicians that is, not academics. They dismissed the ones who once gave them this power to change the lives of the working classes for the better. Unfortunately it was the workers themselves, so they lost that support. They thought they could keep their power with support from the corporations that are in direct conflict with the workers. Now this hasn’t worked, what will happen?
