Fascism has been voted in unfair elections

Wait wait wait. When Trump lost against Biden he claimed unfair elections. Once Trump won against Kamala Harris you claim unfair elections? That's actually hilarious.

Lol. This is what I meant by "political abstractions." I'm talking about actual things in the world, you're talking about these ideas like a middle schooler, and so the only position you can even imagine, is the opposite of your baby ideas. But the opposite of abstract and idealist, is practical and specific. You have ideas, and I have experience.

I'm not talking about Trump and Harris. Also, did you just accuse the USA president of being a fascist? I'm pretty sure people are being put in camps for that, better be careful with that incendiary rhetoric, lol.

Both parties are corrupt and complicit.

  1. First past the post is totally rigged for the two party system, both parties captured by elites and don't represent regular people

  2. USA electoral system makes sure many voters cant vote. one of the two major political parties (Republicans) actively campaign on making it harder for people to vote.

  3. Our culture, which is controlled by our media, is objectively depoliticizing unless you want to identify with one of two political perspectives that oppose each other but don't represent people or even reality most of the time.

  4. States, and all elections are handled on the state level, are deeply gerrymandered. In my state, on 2 separate occasions, citizens voted for redistricting in our state and ratified it into our constitution. Both times, the constitutional mandate was ignored. The third time citizens tried to pass another constitutional amendment to un fuck our districts, the Republican controlled board of elections changed the wording of the actual amendment as it would appear on peoples voting forms and made it appear like voting for redistricting was actually making elections less democratic.

  5. In 2016 and 2020, a popular left candidate was dequalified from running by the Democrats, through maneuvering and electoral manipulation. The problem isn't just with Republicans.

Other structures of American politics are undemocratic and corrupt, such as the Senate, lobbyism, the two party system, the incredible influence foreign governments have on our policy, not to mention corporations, justice system illegally corrupted by business at the highest levels, plans like project 2025 being carried out despite them being extremely unpopular and obviously made to hurt people. On and on.

You're not serious.
