    You guys need to get over this knee jerk reaction that any criticism of the “moderate” party is an existential threat that will move the needle over to the “death” party. The person you’re replying to didn’t say anything remotely like what you’re suggesting.

    Yes your republicans are materially worse when they’re in power, and you should do whatever you can to keep them out (I’m no accelerationist) including voting for their opposition.

    But I honestly think that yes both sides do in part contribute to this fall into fascism. Obviously I’m not saying that there are no progressive elements among the democrats, but y’all need to be able to have these conversations about what to do about the chuds in the democratic party, in addition to voting.

      Did you see my last response to them? It addresses what you’re saying, I think

      I don’t disagree with you or then. However, within the context of what’s being said what are they trying to do? At best, they’re hijacking the convo when it’s not really relevant

      (P.S. basing this on memory of the convo, didn’t go back and reread everything)

        I see what you’re saying. Yeah we’re all three on the same page, but bad actors out there trying to get people not to vote muddy the waters.
