    Yeah, it’s a good thing both candidates were the same on every single issue, too, so there was literally no difference in picking between the fascist and the non-fascist. Fantastic job recognizing your duty to stick to one single issue where you feel they were the same!

      One thing you’ll eventually have to come to terms with is that it’s the government of the USA that is and has always been fascist and that the two parties aren’t going to stop the fascism that they both manage and benefit from. Biden had the Epstein files and did nothing. You think the voters are gonna stop fascism when the candidates are all fascists and fascist defenders?

        Probably the one that it can be said with certainty wasn’t going to:

        • Turn ICE into the gestapo and allow them to round up immigrants without due process, put them in concentration camps, and murder people with impunity.
        • Pack the supreme court with fascist friendly “justices” who immediately overturned Roe v. Wade
        • Weaponize the Justice department and use it against their political enemies … including attempting to strip a state representative of her citizenship for the crime of daring to oppose them as a non-christian woman of color.
        • Weaponize the FCC to control the dissemination of dissent and unflattering truth.
        • Do everything in the power to cripple and eliminate essential agencies and services, leading to countless preventable deaths
        • Eliminate consumer and worker protections via said defunding/elimination of agencies
        • Crow about America’s need for less dependence on other countries for goods that are critical to national security … while eliminating federal programs designed to secure domestic production of those goods.
        • Start an unwinnable war, raising the price of oil … and thus the price of everything
        • Open, widespread corruption
        • Take steps to remove separation of church and state in pursuit of a theocratic government.
        • Destroy every ounce of international good will we had, including trade deals
        • “Tariff” goods: raising prices drastically and pocketing the proceeds.
        • Intentionally create havoc in the national and global economy in pursuit of profit via insider trading and business deals for themselves and their allies.
        • Do everything possible to destroy protections for transgender and gender non-conforming people while bragging about “transgenderism isn’t going to be a thing” in the near future.
        • Drastically accelerate the scope and power of the surveillance/police state.
        • Rule with absolutely zero accountability or consequences.

        But hey, it’s not like we’re hearing the exact same “both sides aren’t that different” bullshit that was said in 2008, 2016, and 2020.

          Do you notice how many of those hings that establishment Democrats may not have instituted but in no way are they speaking against it or planning to remove them?

          They wanted the ICE gestapo to only be 85% fascist, have t said a word about GETTING RID OF CONCENTRATION CAMPS just that they are “inhumane conditions”.

          You even complain about “ruling without consequences”, is that the conservative’s fault when your party REFUSES TO PUNISH THEM? the Epstein files showed that both parties partake in all of this, and all of our institutions and agencies allowed it. EVERY DEMOCRAT KNEW and no one ran on ANY of this being their priority and nothing was even leaked for campaigns. What does that tell you?

          “Pack the supreme court with fascist friendly “justices” who immediately overturned Roe v. Wade” Yep, they COULD have put in a progressive or “centrist neoliberal” judge but they never did, right? RBG was just too dumb and hard headed to replace with another progressive judge right? Woopsie, the fascists that you are so determined to compromise with lied and fucked us all over anyway. That’s what happens when there is WEAK opposition

          The literal plan that these fools can come up with during an existential crisis for our country is:

          “Restoring affordable care act tax credits”, “addressing affordability” and “holding the crooks responsible…”

          Those are their statements RIGHT NOW

          Out of all of the issues you mentioned. They have that weak ass statement, and a shitty 100 day plan that they came up with 30 DAYS before midterms. THEY ARE FASCISTS

      Here’s the rub:

      Most of these idiot kids are too young to vote anyway, and the rest are too stupid to recognize their own name on their mailer.
