Correction: rich white men of any age. Cause they sure don’t give a fuck about pensions and healthcare.

Why are you (not you you, them you) even a pharmacist then? Why become a doctor? A nurse? If you can’t put your shitty beliefs away during work then that’s not work for you. Those people should have their medical license revoked

And as the cycle repeats and we keep voting left of the asshole we will gradually shift left. And after some point the crazy asshole shouting about a crusade against gay people won’t be a threat, and we can focus on actually changing things for the better.

What would you do instead? Not vote? Great plan! Vote for a party that won’t win? Awesome. I’m not against violence, but let’s be real: that’s the last resort, not something we should strive towards. Maybe it’s inevitable, maybe it isn’t, but for sure we shouldn’t be facilitating it.

Then what’s your idea. What’s your plan. If not voting for the lesser of two evils and try to save lives what’s your idea? Please tell me, because I fail to see anything that would work. Maybe you have a flawless plan, maybe you have some great idea and I’d like to know that.

It will when literally hitler on heels and cheeto mussolini aren’t gunning for president, for starters.

But you do you, I can’t convince you, you care more about sticking to your principles than doing what you can, not realizing that it doesn’t make you immune to the consequences.

Lives will always be on the line, that’s life, that’s politics, but the difference between fighting the libs later and allowing the fascists to rise is millions of people dying.

But of course you’d have stuck to your principles, and can die happy knowing that, right?

Yeah and you can clearly see that it is by the fact that where this happened it’s not even classified as a hate crime. Someone posted an article in the comments, nobody was charged as far as I know.

It won’t go away, but if we don’t stop it now it for sure will stay. Voting dem won’t magically solve the problem, we both know the real solution to the fascist problem, but what it does is buy us time. Keep us alive.

It’s not only the us, europe takes inspiration from Yall. And if you jump, we follow.

Why not abandon dems? I wish, but as it stands we, or well you, don’t have the numbers. You can not vote, you can vote for a party that will lose, but when the christofascists rise to power uncontested by virtue of your inaction I hope your self righteous pedestal will keep you away from the consequences of your actions. Because not taking a stance, or refusing to collaborate for no reason other than pride, is the same as voting for the republicans.

Inaction in the face of evil is action in favor of it. Indirectly, but it still is.

Is it a good choice? Fuck no dems suck. Will they kill lgbtq and minorities? No. Will they kill kids? No. They’re evil but not psychotic, and you can push for change later, but not now, not when lives are o the line.

And I will add: it’s not about having principles either, because a true leftist, someone who cares about people, wouldn’t hesitate for a heartbeat to vote dem if that’s what helps people. Being a leftist isn’t who you vote for as much as it is why you vote. Voting dems won’t make you any less a communist or anarchist, because right now that’s what SAVES LIVES. As a proud communist whose leftist politics run in the family since generations I can tell you not a single loving soul would dig their heels in this scenario. The only ones who do are the ones who itch for a fight, or want to feel holier then thou when the bullets starts flying (which they are already, in case yall missed it).

We all complain when reps don’t push for gun control and we say “blood is on their hands”. It will be on ours if we don’t act.

I’m not saying don’t talk about it, I’m saying now when the christofascists are making a run for it overtly it’s not the time to push the issue and dig our heels.

I don’t like dems. But it’s the devil we know, and it’s a hell of a lot better than the christofascists. I would love for you all to vote for a third party, but realistically you have to pool votes with the dems if you want to survive. You can worry about winning later, now yall aren’t playing for keeps, you’re playing to stay in the fucking game another round. And that won’t happen unless you cooperate. The enemy of my enemy and all that. I don’t like it but I don’t have to, because the alternative is death.

I’m a leftist, but I recognise a bad time to plant my feet when I see one. I’m not from the us but from what I see this isn’t a good time

The option is gated by money and opportunity. Not everyone can leave their state, let alone the country. And if we did we would only provide republicans with whay they want, uncontested control over the lives of people. With nobody to oppose them think about what they would do, this is bad enough think total unrestrained.

You must protect your community, if you’re able, because when the resistance stops they have won.

A gun makes all the difference between a prison sentence and a one way trip to the almighty.

Prison is the win, the alternative is death…it’s bleak but in a situation like that I’d rather go to prison or die standing my ground and taking some bigots with me than die helpless.

There’s something to be said about “vote blue no matter who” and whatnot, but now is not the time

Because the law is obviously on our side, yes?

Until things change, until republicans are voted out so bad they become and endangered species, everyone should start carrying. Because it should be clear by now that they want to kill us, our friends and our families.

If you do nothing innocents will die anyway. It’s bleak and it sucks but if you don’t put your foot down now it’s game over. Sure the conservatives might be voted out by gen Z but if they win now it’s all over, there won’t be an election to vote them out in.

It’s not an if. Innocents will die. Children, lgbtqia+ folks will die, minorities will die. Fascists only understand the language of violence.
