    Get ready for a lot of posts about how now is the time to stay home and not vote.

    If the Dems lose this election it will mean that they will turn hard Left and then everything will be perfect!

      Staying home is a terrible idea.

      People get way more upset when people such as myself vote third party, so that is what the non-voters must do.

        People who vote third-party in the general election mathmatically support fascism. That’s simple fact.

        Go ahead and do it for whatever reason, but that’s the effect you have.

        I dislike fascism, so I dislike support for fascism.

        The time for such things is before the general election. That’s why I vote for progressive candidates when possible. But when it comes down to the write and the choices are:

        1. Vote for a shitty Democrat who is not fascist
        2. Vote for the fascist
        3. Waste my vote on a third party that will not win, thus NOT voting against a fascist

        Well, fuck me, but I’ll vote against fascism every time.

        And for those who say that supports shitty Democrats: Fuck you specifically because you’re the type that does SHIT ALL until the general election with your choices above. You’re again part of the reason we have shitty Democrats, not me. So fuck off.

        If that third party’s main selling point is abolishing the two party system, that could actually make sense

      Hey! Also, if they win, they will turn hard left and then everything will be perfect!

      Oh wait, actually they will still vote for and confirm appointees none of us like, fund Israel’s supremacist bloodlust and occupation of our country, fund ICE and concentration camps, data centers, AND attack progressives!
