All trumpanzees so obviously need to be rounded up and shot that it’s not even worth mentioning. It’s libs like you that need to be called out for trying to use faux progressivism to justify the exact same shit trumpanzees want.
‘Dissidents’ like they’re some powerless minority being oppressed and that their dissent isn’t over the value of human life. This is why we say that liberals are the same as fascists. “Sorry freemen, if we crack down on the whites killing you and passing black codes, it’s just not a democracy!”
Ah yes, peak anti-fascism: declaring your political opponents to be monolithically evil to justify their execution. Half of all American voters are subhuman scum that must be cleansed to bring about democracy.
You can, if you stop abstaining or voting third party out of protest. You can’t blame the electoral system for being ineffective if you don’t use it right.
The problem is systemic, it can’t be solved by one office in one election.
Y’know the old saying about the best and second best times to plant a tree? Sweeping political change takes time. You need progressive candidates to prove themselves on local and state levels.
It’ll take 6 years to replace every governor and congressperson, and based on the landscape I see, at least 5-10 years to promote enough progressives to a position suitable to candidacy. 15-20 years of voting for capable progressives in every race from school board to governor will provide us with a rich crop of experienced candidates.
That does mean voting lesser evil until you can get proven progressives on the ticket. That’s just reality. If you don’t vote for a candidate that wins, you didn’t get even the most meager semblance of representation. Not getting what you want because the voters that disagree with you outnumber the ones that agree is the fundamental principle of democracy. Show up. Vote, for someone who might win.
Republicans planted their tree 50 years ago. Progressives’ best move in the next few elections is show up in droves to big tent blue wave, and then splinter when the Republican party is defunct.
The problem is systemic, it can’t be solved by one office in one election.
Correct, the US Empire will always support Israel, and by extension, genocide.

Oh, lmao, this is what you meant. No, this fantasy will not happen. Perhaps you’ll find small-scale local reforms, but these candidates will not gain enough influence to make a difference at the federal level. The progressive candidate this election is Claudia De La Crúz, the DNC and GOP are far-right.

Wrong. If you are a fixed lever that never moves, your support is taken for granted, and your views will never be represented. Neither the DNC nor the GOP will ever field progressive candidates.

The Republican Party will not go defunct. Even if the party disappears, a new one will take its place that is just as fascist, because fascism is a response to crumbling Capitalism. This is such a well-studied phenomenon. The GOP doesn’t exist and hold the views it does because it brainwashes the public, but because Material Conditions support the rise of fascism as an alignment between the Petite Bourgeoisie and large-scale Bourgeoisie against rising Socialist and Communist sympathies.
Read Reform or Revolution. The US will never meaningfully reform in a truly positive direction, it is only through Revolution that Americans have any hope. Feel free to save this comment and see that I’m correct in 12, 24, even 48 years from now, if there is still a US at that point.

Edit: Lol some lib responded to this comment and blocked me before I could see it and now there’s a big argument in the replies.
As opposed to the very authentic progressivism of rounding up and shooting political opponents?
People like you are why reconstruction went the way it did
If you can’t reach your ideal democracy without executing dissidents, that’s not democracy.

In a conversation talking about nazis and klansmen:
but don’t you see the good side of the nazis??
The bad side of the Nazis was executing people.
You don’t have a right to say that when your ideology is to let them
If you can’t stop a genocide electorally, that’s not democracy.
You can, if you stop abstaining or voting third party out of protest. You can’t blame the electoral system for being ineffective if you don’t use it right.
How? Both candidates support genocide, is there an option on the ballot to dismantle the genocidal US Empire?
