If you have to vote for someone who supports genocide you’re already fucked.
Well at least we ended up with the felon rapist pedophile fraud who threatens to wipe civilizations from the face of the Earth while robbing us blind instead of the flawed but highly educated black woman with no criminal record.
We really dodged a bullet, right?
You're right. America is fucked, but speeding up it's descent into fascism is bad praxis
Sure, but if you care about slowing the America’s descent into fascism, voting should not be your primary focus.
What does that mean, exactly?
Genocide is by far one of the worst crimes against humanity. If someone supports genocide they are morally corrupt to the core. They don’t care if you live or die. They will sell you out the moment it gives them a personal advantage. What kind of democracy forces it’s citizens to choose between two such people?
Americans generally don’t support genocide nor do they want a leader who would treat them like chess pieces. Unfortunately, the American electoral system is incapable of reflecting popular sentiment. If it can’t do that, then it’s not a real democracy. Change can only come to the US if people learn to wield their collective power in ways that don’t depend on the elections. Barring that, Americans are fucked regardless of who they vote for.
The society that exists in such a place is doomed to self-destruction, thankfully. The people that didn't even have an opinion on ICE until a few white people were treated like black people are the reason why. That entire mindset: "I don't think about problems unless they affect people who look like me" is a great mindset to have for exactly one skin color in the US, but those two white people in Minnesota will be remembered like 9/11 It is that mindset why the democratic party is not an opposition party to white supremacy, but instead controlled opposition by the ruling white supremacist class elite. The same mindset is why americans don't actually care about genocide and will non-vote for vote for fascism when fascism is on the line. I'd wager an overwhelmingly vast majority of protesting non-voters were of a... pallid skin color.
Here's a big hint: Thousands of black and brown people have died as martyrs for the rights of all americans, even white ones, since the 60s. How many white people have died for the advancement of the rights of all americans again in that same time period?
