The statement that the American Nazi Party would win 2% of the seats is histrionic and doesn’t address the original post, which related to the lack of democratic representation baked into the American system. If you oppose true democratic representation, please say so honestly. In any event, if all American Nazis do indeed vote and manage to elect 7 members nationwide first time out, then maybe we should be paying them to run voter engagement classes for the DSA. Further, if indeed 2% of the American voting public are Nazi sympathizers (and I won’t quibble with that, because, Trump?) maybe splintering these people into their fiefdoms of hate would not be a bad idea, and forcing them into the harsh light of day might be curative. (Witness recent Republican Speakership shit-show). @atomicpoet Thank you Chris. I tried to save my email before but, when I click Save, it asks for my password. I assume this means my password at Vancity.social (which my effing password saver chose not to record and which I’ve forgotten). So, I’m stuck.
