That is a really stupid reason to let a fascist win though. Like, why should I respect or align myself with such a stupid group of people?
Which is exactly the question they were asking. You want someone to blame, it's the DNC.
You don't have to align with someone you vote for in a FPTP system.
And no, your suggestion is based on a false dichotomy. I blame the DNC AND the non-voters. I can despise both and do.
So you have no care of causal relationships whatsoever so long as you get to spew your hate at everyone.
What's stupider? Trying to kick Lucy's football again or walking away?
What would the Democrats be doing differently if they were actual fascist collaborators? I can't think of anything. The Democrats make up excuses for why they can't intervene, then they blame the voters. Voting D hasn't solved the fascist problem for 50+ years. Democrats have overseen some of the most brutal genocides and mass murder campaigns against non-Europeans. They have total continuity in funding and protecting the military-industrial-media-complex. They have total continuity in ensuring there are no consequences for the most egregious violations of human rights, civil rights, and human decency.
Mass incarceration is a bi-partisan consensus. Prison slavery is a bi-partisan consensus. Black ghettos are a bi-partisan consensus. Solitary confinement is a bi-partisan consensus. Solitary confinement for toddlers is a bi-partisan consensus. Starving children and elderly around the world is a bi-partisan consensus. Spying on all US citizens through warrantless surveillance dragnets of all communications is a bi-partisan consensus. Militarizing local police is a bi-partisan consensus. Undermining labor unions is a bi-partisan consensus. Maintaining legacy apartheid structures in funding elementary and secondary education is a bi-partisan consensus.
At what point do we conclude that the Democrats couldn't be worse if they were actively supporting fascism? At what point do we say that their limited and milquetoast rhetoric against a few bad things, and only some times, and only some of them, is not a sufficient reason to believe they are on our side?
If your only options are the fascist or the guy who promised to bring the fascist to justice but actually didn't even try, then your problem isn't getting solved by voting in that election.
Who said I thought voting would solve the problem? You aren't engaging with my core issue: non-voters were content to let Trump win. Are they worth my time and effort morally? Why?
I already know the DNC doesn't align with me perfectly, as a mutualist I'm against private property. But they're not fascists. I mostly just hate the DNC because of their weakness and ineptitude even more so than the liberal ideology.
That said, at least with the DNC, there is something I can get out of them politically with theoretically much less effort compared to the masses of non-voting 2024 morons who engaging with would be akin to trying to herd cats.
Hell, at this point: I don't even care anymore. I kind of hate the non-voters enough that I'm now fueled by spite for them. I don't care who wins elections anymore because I just can't fucking give a shit. Its obviously out of my hands and the non-voters are getting what they deserve.
I only feel sorry for the people who are faultless, like the millions starving to death because Trump's admin illegally shut down USAID, or the ICE round ups of innocent immigrants where they're probably being human trafficked, raped, and murdered.
