You think the 90M people that couldn’t be bothered to vote against fascism are going to take to the streets and fight?

Electoral voting is useless and built to disenfranchise and demotivate people participating from politics. Doing direct action immediately improves your life and builds mutual aid networks. So yes.

It’s useless, yet it’s exactly why we have a fascist dictator? That’s tautological.

You would get a fascist dictator regardless. That has always been the inevitable path of liberal electoral politics under capitalism.

Ah, defeatism. It’s going to happen anyway, so why bother doing anything about it. Great outlook.

They aren’t saying do nothing, they’re saying do something more useful than voting.

And I’m saying not voting is how we got fascism. There were 13M more people that did nothing, than all 77M people who voted for Trump. I don’t expect them to fight unless personally attacked.

That leaves the ~78M people that collectively voted against Trump. Then remove the sick, disabled, elderly, government, military, and police. We’re not getting anywhere with force unless we can engage the 90M people who couldn’t be inconvenienced to put pen to paper to stop fascism.

Oh, are you under the impression that there’s a group of liberals (as in liberalism in general) out there that doesn’t coddle and appease and enable fascism that I could vote for? Because Democrats are putting up the most token of resistance at best, and meanwhile voting in support of the right’s shenanigans in congress. Schumer voted for the budget, 4 others voted for a bill that would effectively disenfranchise millions of women, etc.

If you walk into a voting booth and find someone holding a bomb who insists that your only choice for how to deal with it is to choose between a long fuse or a short one, the only sane thing to do is to say ‘Good luck with that’ and leave before you get caught in the blast radius. I voted blue for 30 years and it didn’t get me less fascism, why do you imagine it would suddenly start working today?
