    If the choices are fascism or moderate fascism, maybe try offering something better than fascism?

      if my only choice is evil i will always automatically choose less evil. its really not even a choice.

      if we really care about this shit, we would be pushing grass-roots ranked-choice voting to incur actual 3rd parties that matter. but we arent. so less evil it is. you can choose more evil if that makes you feel better, but you should know youre fucking everyone else over.

          The country I was born in is full of collaborators; and I promise, if anyone ever comes along asking me to sell them out for citizenship elsewhere I’ll do it in a New York minute

        Or you can choose something else entirely and not support a genocide. Turns out, if enough people do this, there’s even a small chance they might win. There’s even a chance that if they don’t win that this will push or even terrorize one of the major parties into moving to your position. But perhaps your conscience allows you to support a genocide. I certainly don’t have the stomach for that though.

        Edit: A word

          Who are you suggesting to vote for in the US presidential race that doesn’t support Israel?

          i live in the US where my choice is evil or more evil.

          youre telling me to choose more evil

          choosing more evil at home might make you feel better about foreign policy, you are voting against your own ability to make this choice in the future. you are making your home life worse thinking you are helping people abroad, but in the long run you are not only helping evil at home, you are not going to help those abroad as the US is more than the president. it is silly to pretend trump will do anything but help russia and israel.

          again, you only have 2 choices evil or more evil. pick one.

        I think fascism and support for a genocide tend to go hand in hand, so maybe I’m just getting there by working backwards.
