    The people we voted for to stop fascism are voting with the fascists.

    And you.

    They're not wrong. But we have to focus on step two of that equation which is primary everyone and not to let the people who carelessly support this keep their safe offices

    And look at what they're doing to David Hogg for trying.

    And? David's gonna focus on step two still. Now the leadership had clearly marked themselves as a core part of the problem is all.

    And the party will continue to fix nothing and delightedly announce that we have no choice but to vote for them.

    Watch how they treat elon in the coming months. It'll be better than they have ever treated any progressive.

    You didn't think one person could easily make the changes needed did you? Of course it's going to be a fight. Look at the amount of money and number of people that profit off the current broken system. Losing a battle doesn't mean you've lost the war. You can't give up so easily.

    Whatever you tell yourself to live with fascism. Go ahead and deflect that blame.

    You don't think I understand that? You don't know me. I was a big Bernie supporter, I have a history of voting third party. Hell I think this last election is the first time I haven't voted third party for president since 2008. However, the other thing I also understand is you have to know which battles to fight. I'm not going to not vote for the person running against an insurrectionist. My god I wish we had better choices and I do what I can to support those other choices, but that doesn't mean I've lost sight of what we're fighting against.
