I'm getting pretty tired of voting for the 'slightly less bad' blue fascists, though.

    No one’s arguing voting Dem is a magical cure-all. Your local Dem will not be 100% aligned with your worldview (unless it’s you in office).

    But 65% is more than -200%. A shit-ton of so-called “lefties” cannot do basic math.

    The 65% brings us further right so the Republicans can be more evil.

    You first.

    Look at Newsom. Look at the fact that Democrats' takeaway from losing in 2024 was "we weren't transphobic enough". Look at Biden shouting "fund the police". Look at Democrats enthusiastically putting up Flock cameras.

    Yes they do! The Democrats' secret plan is to be so bad at galvanising support so we vote for the Rs, and then the Ds don't even have a lift a finger to destroy democracy. It's ingenious, really. If they actually tried to win elections, they'd win every time, and then the left wing radicals in the party would climb the ranks and push progressive policies. But by losing on purpose, they deflect suspicion and keep the radicals down.

    But 65% is more than -200%.

    Nah, it's more like "-40% is more than -200%"

    Still headed toward fascism and abuse ... just a bit slower.

    We're in a car heading toward a cliff, and we have a choice of whether to hit the gas or the brakes. But the brakes are really shitty and can only slow us down slightly -- no way they'll stop in time.

    Well, my plan is to jump out of the car (leave the country). But what you do is up to you.

    If you're a Jew in Germany in, say ... 1926, what's your best option for survival?

    Voting? lol

    Staying and fighting? Good on you, but your chances of surviving that are extremely slim.

    Staying and hiding? Somewhat better chances, but still pretty bad.

    Getting the fuck out of Germany and going far away? By far your best chance.
