That's how you earn fascism.

You're part of the problem.

Whatever you tell yourself to live with fascism. Go ahead and deflect that blame.

The problem with you people is that you don't understand that either way we lose.

Both parties are working together against the working class.

You don't think I understand that? You don't know me. I was a big Bernie supporter, I have a history of voting third party. Hell I think this last election is the first time I haven't voted third party for president since 2008. However, the other thing I also understand is you have to know which battles to fight. I'm not going to not vote for the person running against an insurrectionist. My god I wish we had better choices and I do what I can to support those other choices, but that doesn't mean I've lost sight of what we're fighting against.
