• A protest vote does nothing. The system sucks, but with an election this close, a protest vote is a half vote for fascism. Project 2025 makes it very clear that a Republican victory might very well be the end of democracy in the US. Literally—not speaking hyperbolically.

      As a non-American, it’s very disturbing to see how few Americans seem to take the rise of fascism in their country seriously. There are so many parallels to the Third Reich it’s deeply unsettling.

      It’s also becoming abundantly clear that Russian/Chinese/Iranian interference in elections is pushing for fascism, and their anti-democratic rhetoric, memes, and talking points are being shared widely.

      Voting for a third party, with what the Republican Party is saying they’ll do if elected, is voting for fascism being an acceptable outcome.

      The fact the polls are in a dead heat is disturbing.

      • These are the same people who (would have) voted for Hitler because they were mad at the The Weimar Republic (liberal democratic republic) for one reason or another to send a “message” and then after either loosing everything or were killed during WWII (many by the party they voted for) afterwards said “How could of this happened” Hold your nose and vote for Kamala or don’t complain when Trump is your Lord and Master.
