    In real, actionable, practical terms: What is the alternative you propose people choose, that will reduce the likelyhood of a fascist government right now at this election?

      First past the post voting in a two party system gives you a 99.9999% likelihood of a facist government this election IMHO The only practical action to enact change seems to be a mass general strike.

        It’s a shit voting system. But the election is happening. How to effect a mass general strike large enough to change the voting system and introduce a new candidate with a chance of winning within two months?

        Because that is needed in order to safely tell people not to vote.

          Do both? I’m not saying don’t vote I’m saying the impact of voting is not enough to enact substantial change in policy.

        Congrats for destroying your credibility with “both sides” bullshit.

        Meanwhile, back in factual reality, the Democrats aren’t fascist and have more than a 0.00001% chance of winning.

    Yeah, but you don’t have more than two options for president of the united states. You have the one supporting unions and the weird racist loony hater one. Anyone suggesting something else might happen this year is lying to you.

        this is the most pro union ticket in decades. if you want progress, the path is collective labor power. it’s how we won the weekend and the 40 hour work week. it’s how we won paid lunch breaks (which are now being lost in many places). it’s how we earned paid maternity and paternity leave. if you want things to get better and stay better, join a union, STRIKE and just keep building coalition and class consciousness.

          nothing pro union about union busting for the last 4 years.

          and probably the next 4 if you aint naive to believe campaign promises from a career politician.
