    You called me a horrible person when you insisted that not voting makes me a fascist, and that I should “admit it”.

    I think you just like being shitty to people, and use politics as your excuse.

      I haven’t been shitty to you nor called you a horrible person, or even a fascist.

      With your victim complex though, you will fit right in with the republican party.

        As I have stated on multiple occasions, I am not a Republican. I am just not voting. A third of eligible voters did this in 2020, and even a higher percentage did not do this in 2016. Are they all republicans also?

          People who choose to fence sit in the battle against fascism will not be counted among the good and courageous.

          You have made your decision and given your explanations, but that doesn’t change the simple fact that you chose wrong.

              If you believe the fight against fascism makes a person good and courageous, than you already know that you are making a mistake to not join the fight.

                Oh that’s another thing. I’m Jewish. A huge amount of the people most vocal about fighting facism expressed support for Hamas (not Palestine) after October 7th. Hamas is a totalitarian regime with the explicit goal of wiping out Jews worldwide. In areas with strong progressive local governance, violence against Jews has been handwaved away.

                I would not want to do any sort of fighting alongside those people. They scare me.

                  Lol, go through my comment history. I have often been accused of being an Israeli intelligence agent by people here.

                    That’s great, but the woman who testified before my city council that the women raped by Hamas were lying bigots leveraging #whitewomantears got the cheers of many progressive leaders in the audience. These same groups participated in regular “pro Palestinian” protests where phrases like “globalize the intifadah” and “Houthi freedom fighters were thrown around”
