I am not against voting, but the metaphor is really wrong and it doesn't communicate how voting changes almost nothing.

The problem is that Hilary supported Trump in pied piper strategy to have an easier person to run against. This means that you are doing exactly what they want you to do and they are protecting Trump because they need him to be the other candidate so you are forced to support ice cream made of genocide.

Democrats are terrorists now, that hold the entire country hostage and demand murder of civilians in Gaza for their financial gain. We don't have democracy either way, we will have genocide, wars and poverty either way. There really isn't that big of a difference, because they support each other so they can win against us, the people. They are the same team, funded by same people, running on same campaigns, running the same narrative of lesser evil vs evil, while actually working together.

Their next move is for democrats to support same policies that republicans do now, and fund even more extreme republicans so that can be their candidate. The strategy clearly works. Whatever you are voting against this elections, you will be forced to vote for the next.

I am not so sure it will delay it. If we get a democrat then they will move the goal post for worse, if we don't we will lose democracy we don't have. During Trump there where some good antigovernment riots due to George Floyd and American army moved out of Afghanistan. During Biden, we got war in Ukraine and increased genocide in Gaza. Altough they both have same goals, there are benefits to having an evil idiot instead of evil smarter person in power.

Either way, you can vote for whoever you want and It won't really hurt. But it definitely wont help either.

olivebranch OP ,

Whenever I see democrats fearmongering that Trump will win, I always think of the fact that Hilary's campaign was the ones that got him elected in the primaries, just so they can do this.

olivebranch OP ,

Here is the link for my claim in this comment about Hilary supporting Trump. Just search for "Hilary pied piper" if you want more links.

As for proof that Biden is a genocidal maniac, here is the link for his support of Israel's genocide. By the way, he sidestepped congress in this. So not only is authoritarian, but also genocidal. If that is not fascism, I don't what is.

olivebranch OP ,

It is true however.

olivebranch OP ,

You need to do more than that if you want to fight fascism in America. Primaries aren't fair, the rich choose who gets elected. And by voting for any prowar candidate instead of some other prowar candidate will not change much either, as there is nothing more important than the loss of human lives. As important as trans rights are, people in Gaza can't escape now and they are actively being killed now. Focusing on trans rights now is like saying "All lives matter", they do, but no body is saying they don't, we just have people who are under threat right now.

olivebranch OP ,

Because then they would have to pretend to care for poor people. This way, they can just help Trump get elected in primaries, so they can just scare people into voting for their horrible candidates instead.
They know what they are doing and it is working.

olivebranch OP ,

Liberals get so focused on law, not questioning what the law is about and who wrote that law and for what purpose.
Killing innocent people is the worst thing you can support, even an insurrection, as horrible as it is, if it didn't get as many innocent people killed, is far less immoral then actual war.

If your ideology is unquestionably supporting the law, then you are fascist, by definition.

olivebranch OP ,

I thought I replied to the main point of the argument. I can reply to those specific questions, but I don't think that really communicates my point.
It is not necessarily as bad, but it is very close. I don't really think that most problems with Trump are comparable to killing huge population of innocent people.
Most of the problems are general racism, corruption and thievery. Most articles critiquing Trump aren't about how he rounded up a bunch of innocent people in Gaza and starved them to death. As horrible as he is, you need to see the weight of these actions by Democrates and that they can not be accepted under no circumstances. They should be addressed as a priority.

I just need one, being able to change if something in the code is against my interests.

olivebranch ,

Can't have competition of a free market if some are born poor and some are born super rich.

olivebranch OP ,

Sure they do. Keep believing, any day now...

olivebranch OP ,

Teachers are very educated and yet have very low wages. The problem is not that workers are not skilled enough, it is that system isn't giving them their fair share. All the profit goes to the rich, while poor are getting poorer.

olivebranch OP ,

Sure, it is my fault that even though there is enough food and most of the farming is automated, I still need to work for it because I don't own the land.
We shouldn't ask them to fix it for us, they never will. We need to take control of the land that feeds us.

olivebranch OP ,

Isn't California full of homeless people?

olivebranch OP ,

If company can't pay it's workers a living wage, that company shouldn't exist.

olivebranch OP ,

And should be given welfare check.

olivebranch OP ,

UBI is very efficient. Efficient for the working class, not so much for the capitalists.
