      Being a cherry doesn’t make you meat

      See? I can completely miss the point and do a non sequitur too

      Like how you glossed over the whole part of it mentioning that he is part of the far right faction

        Weird… I didn’t know that everyone to ever attend Hillsdale was a Jan. 6 insurrectionist. So what do you suggest? Do you want to get the registration of every student and punch them in the face to show them how anti-fascist you are?

          Iunno, you want to stop trying to talk in circles and twisting things constantly?

          Honestly, this is just amusing me at this point, everybody sees through your bs

            No they don’t. I call out fascism as I see it and there are groups of anarcho-democrats that are fascists. If you don’t want to appear as a fascist, then run for office & get people to vote for you. You can’t go around punching people in the face if they don’t vote for you and claim you are anti-fascist.

              Lol yes we absolutely see through your bullshit.

              Fuck fascist pigs. America has a rich history of violently destroying these wastes of oxygen.

                You don’t seem to know what fascism is when you’re advocating for it and appear to actually want to be fascist yourself.

                If you use ratios on Lemmy as an indicator of what is socially and legally acceptable, you’re going to have a bad time.

                  Oh they’re entirely worthless, but they do illustrate how no one thinks you’re right here. And that’s quite a feat since lemmy leans incredibly to the left.

                    I mean we are in a thread where a majority of users think violence is the solution to deal with people that don’t agree with them. So make of that what you will. They may think it is fascist to not vote, but they also appear to be very fascist.

      Not voting has a higher probably of affecting leftist votes, and will likely empower the conservative vote, thereby voting in Fuckface 45 who is a fascist, thru and thru, 100%.

      So “not voting” is a vote for a fascist.

        A majority of left-leaning people would vote and beat Trump, its just they don’t like genocidal Joe. If you want to beat the fascism you claim is inevitable you pick a strong candidate… you don’t become a fascist yourself.

          Not with First Past the Post voting in place. You want change? You get the alternative vote in BEFORE the general election, and ideally before primaries.

          Doing a protest vote now is literally throwing in the towel and letting Fuckface 45 win.

          Period.

            You do realize at this point a majority of Americans are voting for Trump over Biden. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can plan a different candidate before the convention that will beat Trump.
