    i should have said “any republican” instead of trump. i’m not ranking them. republicans and their project 2025 will end this country. it’s already begun with the corrupt scotus’s continuous evisceration of settled cases.

    fuck trump, fuck W, and fuck every R candidate and every R voter

            seriously? “kicking the can” is worse than having another trump presidency? ok… do what you will. i hope you feel good about yourself, voting against biden once we’re living under a textbook definition of dictatorship

              I’m going to disagree with my fellow Hexbear above and state that we’re not even kicking the can with Biden. The progression towards fascism doesn’t pause when a Democrat is in the chair. It continues the same just with different abstractions as the reasoning.

              This exact thing happened under Trump. He fired people and kept a tighter inner-circle. If you’re really honest you’ll find Biden doing a lot of the same stuff Trump did.

              We were told to vote for Biden last time to avoid a genocide (✖️) to get kids out of cages (✖️) to stop the border wall (✖️) to stop Trumps racist immigration policy (✖️) to protect queer people (✖️) to protect abortion rights (✖️) to take climate seriously (✖️) to handle covid (✖️) to “believe science” (✖️) to have competent foreign policy (✖️) to stop the polices violent handling of protestors (✖️) to defund the police or at least stop giving them more money (✖️)

              Voting for a democrat is just, at best, voting for last elections republican, but without public opposition. Voting legitimises power and a vote for Biden makes him believe he’s right to ignore his promises and instead go full on police state.

              Now we’re being browbeat with the threat of “democracy being destroyed” by a man Biden has had 4 years to do something about, yet hadn’t.

          Do you have a solution that doesn’t require Democrats to win control of the Executive and the Legislature in every American election for the rest of time?

          I thought liberals tended to oppose single party political systems.

              “we have to vote for the senile genocider who keeps giving more money to the military and police forces who would violently crush any proletarian revolution.”

              “I support a workers revolution”

              You are deeply unserious.

                  Do you recognize that you have no solution to any of these problems and are really just acting out to feel like you have some kind of agency in a system that is not meaningfully democratic in any way?

                  Really!? You go right to the edge of being correct, then flip back to pure liberalism (The Zeroth type!).

                  We stand for active ideological struggle because it is the weapon for ensuring unity within the Party and the revolutionary organizations in the interest of our fight. Every Communist and revolutionary should take up this weapon.

                  But liberalism rejects ideological struggle and stands for unprincipled peace, thus giving rise to a decadent, Philistine attitude and bringing about political degeneration in certain units and individuals in the Party and the revolutionary organizations.

      What about Project 2025 are you concerned about specifically, that is an achievable goal? Besides the whole “replace everyone in all parts of government with a 19 year old groyper” part which the GOP has been trying to do for forever anyway, pretty much all of Project 2025 is what Biden is already doing. Ending asylum and deporting everyone? Check. Arresting dissenters? Check. Blank check to Israel and more funding to prisons, the MIC, all the rotten aspects of America? Check. Limiting access to healthcare for trans people? Check. Restricting abortion? Check. Dismantling climate legislation? Check. Busting unions? Check.

      Only thing that’s actually different here is that Dems do it behind your back while Republicans have a base with enough lead in their brains to think those are good things.
