Aww, my democracy is running fine bud, cause I'm not an Americunt. Besides, Donnie is not even the biggest threat to the US democracy. Their shitty two party system with both parties openly bought and paid for by oligarchs is a much more insidious threat.

Agreed! Not singling you at all, I made a comment that intended to be more a generalised dismay at the mindset of not voting for the opposition to facism because of high ground morality.

I agree on two party systems being more insidious against true democracy, but even so having half a country agree to such tyranny isn't something democratic processes can fix, only voter mobilization.

Opposition to fascism was not on the ballot. The party doing a genocide abroad is not anti-fascist, it's fascism farther away.

Nazis aren't the biggest threat to democracy? Cool story, bro

No, they aren't. Neolibs are far more of a threat. Remember what happened to the nazis last time? The Red Army destroyed them. But the neolibs are still destroying democracy everywhere in the world.

The Democrats were the one doing a genocide -- that's the most direct comparison to Nazis.

Trump also being a Nazi does not excuse Democrats. It was an election between Himmler and Hitler, and you're upset some people didn't vote for either.
