    How about China is, in fact, a dictatorship for starters. The Communist in "Chinese Communist Party" is just there for show.

    How about China is, in fact, a dictatorship for starters

    That could be true. But I wonder, in general, what is the process for determining whether a country is a dictatorship or not, from the outside? China claims to be a democracy and holds elections, like just about every other country under the sun. Of course, not every country with elections is actually a democracy, but if we're talking "hard facts" I think we need to be able to point to specific, objective things.

    The Communist in “Chinese Communist Party” is just there for show.

    Isn't the Chinese Communist Party the single largest self-identifying communist party in the world? Shouldn't that factor in, like, at least a little bit into our standards for what defines a communist party? Regardless, this is kind of just your subjective opinion, isn't it? Again, what specific, objective standards are you looking at to distinguish between "real" communism and "fake" communism?

    Allowing a fascist to become dictator of the USA will get millions more people genocided than voting for a liberal.

    Telling the truth about a liberal, when that truth contains a call to action not to vote against fascism, will get millions more people genocided than shutting up about a liberal.

    millions more people genocided

    That's quite a claim. If the US is set to genocide millions of people, then as people at risk of being victims of that, surely we should be treating the US government as the primary threat to our safety, correct?
