Here's the problem: To even turn things back to the way they were 20 years ago would take a President as ruthless and unchallenged as Trump himself. Or a President, House, Senate, SCOTUS and Federal judiciary that would be completely behind that level of reform. Plus a ruthless purging of all the apparatchiks that Trump and his team have ensconced throughout the federal bureaucracy.

Tell me truthfully, do you believe that that will ever happen? Is there any doubt in your mind that if a Democratic Presidential nominee manages to win they will do ANYTHING to roll back the huge surges we've made toward fascism under Presidents from both parties over the last 40 years?

Is there any question that a Democratic president and Congress would just insist that it was time to look forward, not back, and to make sure that we have a nice diverse group of people running ICE, DHS and the border patrol? Maybe a little more diversity among the staff and inmates of the death camps that Trump has built?

If anything, aren't the Democrats likely to pass MORE funding for the military and ICE and DHS? Will they do a single goddamned thing to rein in Israel and it's genocide of Arabs in the Middle East?

If that's all we can expect under the best circumstances from the Democratic Party, why should we settle for that instead of the complete overthrow of the system that the world desperately needs? Under the status quo our extinction due to climate change and the effects of war will just be a little slower. Which hardly seems a kindness.

I await replies.

Just to be clear, I'm not telling anyone not to vote. Voting is like masturbation; pointless and inconvenient, but if it makes you feel good it's your business. Hell, you do it in a private booth after all!

But don't EVER think that the people will be allowed to change the system through voting. And don't be surprised when we keep moving towards fascism no matter who wins, because the Democrats are JUST as much the servants of the rich as the Republicans are. The oligarchs own both parties. That's a matter of public record. Just look at their big donors. And studies have more than proven that government serves the rich AGAINST the interests of the working class.

So: Vote if you want. Jerk that lever to your heart's content. But don't think for a minute that that's enough to save us from fascism. Because it isn't.

And wash your hands afterwards.
