Either way, change is needed. And electing a fascist is going to make change more difficult.

You mean it worked out for the people he didn’t eradicate

This was sarcasm. It in fact was not them after Hitler because he was a dictator who killed them. The idea that we should sit out this election to punish Dems is fucking idiotic because fascist authoritarians tend to clean house of people they dislike.

Kamala is a fascist currently committing genocide.

Trump is also fascist.

The system is working exactly as intended and must be destroyed.

Trump wants to get rid of your ability to choose. Kamala doesn’t.

Trump wants them to ramp up the collateral damage. He WILL make it worse. Kamala wants a ceasefire.

If you want the system to change, vote for Kamala and then convince people it needs to change.

That puts you in the top image of the meme saying “the system is broken and must be fixed”

But I’ve been here before which is why I’m in the bottom image.

There is no “vote for lesser evil then work from the inside to make change” All that leads to is an even worse lesser evil next time around

Would you rather push a boulder up a hill… or up a sheer cliff face while stormtroopers at the top are shooting at you and rounding up everyone who could help and putting them in camps?

I’ve come back around to the thought that even by the metric of working as intended, the system is broken

Yeah, it’s not late stage capitalism, it’s peak capitalism.

There is no perfect system, every system needs to be fought over, lest it gets overtaken by those working against you. Destroying the current system also destroys every benefit you already fought for.

Getting rid of monarchy famously destroyed all the benefits that enlightenment brought the people. /s

Yeah, and as we all know it goes very smoothly with no long running issues. France in the early 1790s was a great place for all, if memory serves.

Most monarchies didn’t get ‘destroyed’ and most peasants living under monarchies didn’t have much to lose to begin with. The world is much more interconnected now.

… just because the world is more interconnected doesn’t state anything about how much the people have to lose. Inequality in income is ridiculously high rn.
