    Lesser evil politics gets you fascism.

    The timeline for when you feel a fascist nation’s boot comes down to what your skin color is and where you’re from.

      Lesser evil politics without pushing for better candidates and also doing community building gets you fascism. Just voting for the lesser evil and calling it a day is technically better than voting for the fascist, but not a whole lot as it lets the status quo slip.

      Also, what the fuck else are you supposed to do? Be accelerationist and vote for the fascism? Just refuse to participate and and let whatever happens happen? Both of those sound like ways to also get fascism.

      The irony of saying this when we literally have a fascist dictator trashing the Whitehouse because we checks notes didn’t vote for the “lesser evil” last year.

          You’re goddamn right.

          2016, we got a dictator because people wouldn’t vote for checks notes a “lesser evil”.

          2004, we got a warmongering fascist with daddy issues because we wouldn’t vote for checks notes a “lesser evil.”
