    I don’t fathom how you don’t understand this. Its fucking over. Are you not paying attention?

    This is why I wanted people to be able to see beyond the possibility (or probability) of electing Trump. It seems to me the entire left side of the country (and even some of the apolitical people) bet the entire house on Trump not winning again, and when he won again they have absolutely no answer for it.

    It’s also what I found so frustrating about the “Genocide Joe” gang, because they were pretending the entire time that it wouldn’t be such a big deal if Trump got elected…that we would somehow be able to magically have a revolution or something and be able to handle a full-on fascist slide…that there would be a response from outside of the electoral and political system that would allow them to accomplish their purported goals if people just didn’t vote.

    Well, we’re here. He’s elected. He’s in power. What the fuck is this supposed response and when is it starting?

      I will never not criticize a politician for supporting a genocide. I’ll vote for the lesser of two evils, but I won’t condone evil with my silence.

      Has it even occurred to you that maybe trying to shut people up isn’t the best strategy? “Your voice is irrelevant and unwanted, but make sure you vote!”

      If you can grasp that then you will have started to understand why neoliberalism always succumbs to fascism eventually. Mainstream Democratic thinking is pathetic.

        The election is over. He’s in power. Why are you relitigating this for the hundredth time instead of answering the question at the end of my post that was my central point?

        Is it because there is no actual plan, there is no imminent revolution, there will be no actual response, and you lot were full of shit the whole time?
