    I don’t understand what you could possibly mean by this comment. We, as in the American electorate, directly chose fascism. What the fuck do you mean that we will see it soon enough? We didn’t take the path you say also leads there eventually, the only way to tell where it leads is theory. We are never going to see the real world impacts of the choice we did not make.

      Fascism and fascism light still lead to fascism. You can take the long road home or the highway to hell, but either way goes there.

      Democrats and republicans act as adversaries. What you should look at is what kinds of things do they consistently vote for and against in unison.

      After 18 months of republicans and democrats signing bombs that are tearing apart poor families sleeping in tents - how do you not see that they are both your enemy?

      If the democrats really wanted to help people, why have they never gone scorched earth with helping people the way Trump is using the power to hurt people.

      Help people so hard that they could never vote against you again? Universal healthcare - don’t want it? Too bad it’s free now. And it’s way more efficient than private.

      Tax cuts for the poor and middle class while taxing the wealthy? Aww sorry I know you’re mad the billionaires pay more because you’re still waiting for that money to trickle down, but you pay less.

      Free secondary education and day care for parents? Here’s chances to make your life better without drowning in debt and payments now enjoy making a better life.

      But no. The democrats say “fuck the people” every time they have a chance to make a difference because they are the same as republicans. They only vote for war, tax cuts for the wealthy, and benefits package/pay increases for themselves.

      Where are they now to save the students whose visas are arbitrarily being revoked? Where are they in the name of free speech? Doing 24 hour self promos in the chamber that accomplish exactly nothing and then running to MSNBC to brag about talking for that day straight.

      It’s a clownshow and I am befuddled on how most people do not see through this.
