    And all leftists I know from the US are aware of that, but still vote for Biden, since Trump would do so much damage. Not voting for Democrats as a leftist is accelerationist bullshit. You can perform direct action and also vote against the fascist.

    The reason people are responding to the image is because they have the most inane take pushed right into their faces.

        Maybe you should look up the definition of fascist and check whose rhetoric and actions align with what happened in Germany a hundred years ago.

        “fascism” means something specific. It’s bad that you Americans only have the choice between an average Western neoliberal colonialist and a fascist, but it’s very clear which one is the lesser evil.

            I’m not shitting you, there’s actually academic definitions of the hallmarks of fascism, and you should actually look them up instead of vaguely gesturing towards the job description of Western political leaders and going “it’s totes the same thing bro, trust me bro”

                I’m not sure if you’re just obnoxious and think you need to “win the debate” by gotchaing me with something Biden indubitably said that technically fits the criteria … or if you’re really so lost that you don’t see that Trump could actually succeed in abolishing elections while that’s a completely ridiculous idea when applied to Biden.

                    Ok, so you’re a completely lost white boy who doesn’t see or care about what MAGA republicans did and are doing to the rights of anyone who isn’t a white boy.
