    The alt-left is STILL pulling the “both sides are the same” shit. We will NEVER escape fascism. Like buckle in because the left is not fucking comprehending the massive scale of the difference between corrupt MAGA and corrupt Dems. Yalls are just not fucking getting it. Yalls are still just mad and punishing Dems for their awful, unconscionable Gaza policy (not defending it), but yalls literally put the final nail in American democracy cuz of a single foreign policy issue. Fucked over all LGBTQ people, all disabled folks, women’s rights, immigrant’s right, DEIA programs. As I watch my trans family continue to get targeted and killed, I will NEVER forget the “both sides” leftists who hung us out to dry. Fuck yalls.

      Nowhere in this meme does it say that “both sides are the same”. It’s (correctly) showing how both parties don’t give a shit about the working class.

      Republicans are horrible but you can’t expect the Democrats to save or help you from them after we have tons of evidence showing they will also break strikes, pass right wing immigration laws, attack protesters, support genocide, and do almost nothing to stop rising fascism.

      Also trying to diminish supplying and funding a genocide to just “a single foreign policy issue” is pretty fucked up and not even accurate. Leftists were willing to overlook hundreds of issues we had with Kamala as a candidate if she could just do the bare fucking minimum of not actively funding and supplying a genocide and she couldn’t even do that.

      Fascism and liberalism are not distinct ideologies, but the same ideology in different circumstances. Liberalism is the nice mask, fascism is the brutal one, and Capitalism will use whichever the bourgoeisie feels is necessary to maintain control and profits.

      Critiquing liberalism is a “left” thing, not an “alt-left” thing, and I don’t even know what that means.

      Have an upvote. Both sides are not the same. Anyone who can’t distinguish between them is seriously not fully operational.

      leftists offer plenty of solutions starting with unionization. and much more depending on which poison you pick.

      first things first though you need to notice you won’t be able to vote fascism away.

            You just fucking said you can’t vote away fascism. So if fascism is already here, which it is, you’re saying it can’t be voted away, which HEAVILY implies that one shouldn’t vote cuz it’s pointless; fascism can’t be voted away, so why vote?

            Do you need any other explanations, you obtuse jackass pretending not to know how language works?

              thats your conclusion. i literally don’t care if you bother voting.

              i even stated this much, how is that so hard to understand? do you need me to clarify something? why the fuck are you that angry?

      Is the response for “if was Kamala nothing of this would happen”.

      “The strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world.” would do the same fucking shit

      The result of not voting sits in the White House. In politics there is no silent majority.

          Billonairs and stupid MAGA workers are the minority and always vote right wings, but they turn to a mayority if the left working class don’t vote. Simple Math.

            you missed the point. democrats are not leftists and will be just as bad.

            don’t blame leftists for how fascists coopt an electoral system in their favour.

              I know that the US voting system is a crap and that there don’t exist a real keft party, Democrats there are a conservative neoliberal party and Republicans are direct a Fascist one. But even so between the bad and the worse, voting the worse don’t make sensem less if it is done for the second time. Anyway for me as an European it’s impossible to understand why this criminal asshole is in the WhiteHouse and not in Jail since tears ago. In the last US election you could hear out of the US worldwide the sound of a violent facepalm.

                leftists aren’t really voting for trump though. most leftists i know vote for the lesser evil, but with the consciousness it ain’t doing much.

                it’s impossible to understand why this criminal asshole is in the WhiteHouse and not in Jail since tears ago

                the way fascism coopts the masses and capitalism lets it, thats literally fascism running its course. its been documented throughout history.

                it comes up when capitalism is in crisis and the people aren’t aware of the class war being fought against them. part of that comes from thinking politics is just voting for the lesser evil.

        Thank you. You’re going to get a lot of nonsense where people keep telling you that voting is meaningless. Don’t listen.
