    No reason to hide it.

    The shameful thing is being a proud Democrat or Republican after the last 40 years of regression for the American people.

      The shameful part is people like you help usher in fascism so you can feel superior

            That is a falsehood.

            You all deprive yourselves of our votes by failing to follow through on your promises, along with those of the half of this country that can’t afford to miss a desperately needed day’s pay in order to vote for someone they know is only going to ignore them once elected.

            Your party is the problem. You don’t get to beat people down and then pretend you’re the aggrieved party because they didn’t stand up with blood pouring down their faces and ask for more.

              Yeah it’s a falsehood unless you look at what the options are and have some ideas of what the future holds, which we do

              What you’re doing is entirely self-interested jerking, only useful to feel (falsely af) superior

              I gotta say your username makes a lot of sense in this context. No concern for working together with others

                Thank you for your opinion.

                Good luck with the election. Your entitlement to the votes of Greens without doing anything to earn them is definitely a bold strategy.

                    Jill Stein isn’t putting kids in cages or helping the Israelis commit Holocaust 2.0.

                    Sit with that a minute.

        The concentration camp was never the normal condition for the average gentile German. Unless one were Jewish, or poor and unemployed, or of active leftist persuasion or otherwise openly anti-Nazi, Germany from 1933 until well into the war was not a nightmarish place. All the “good Germans” had to do was obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, avoid any sign of political heterodoxy, and look the other way when unions were busted and troublesome people disappeared.

        Since many “middle Americans” already obey the law, pay their taxes, give their sons to the army, are themselves distrustful of political heterodoxy, and applaud when unions are broken and troublesome people are disposed of, they probably could live without too much personal torment in a fascist state — some of them certainly seem eager to do so.

        - Michael Parenti. (1996). Fascism in a Pinstriped Suit

        Many people have been living under fascism in the United States for decades, suffering under explicitly racist police and judiciary systems, fighting against explicitly fascist foreign policy, and trying to wake people up to the explicitly fascist rhetoric of both democrats and republicans.

        First they came for the Communists,
        and I didn’t speak up,
        because I wasn’t a Communist.
        Then they came for the Jews,
        and I didn’t speak up,
        because I wasn’t a Jew.
        Then they came for the Catholics,
        and I didn’t speak up,
        because I was a Protestant.
        Then they came for me,<— you are here
        and by that time there was no one
        left to speak up for me.

        “everything I don’t like is fascism”

        Almost every presidential election I write in a name because neither two major candidates deserve my vote. Glad I get to help “usher in fascism”.

                  Right there in black and white

                  Almost every presidential election I write in a name because neither two major candidates deserve my vote.

                  May as well have written " I don’t care about outcomes or people less fortunate than me. I made a big statement and therefore my shit doesn’t stink"

                    I don’t really care to be honest, and there’s nothing you can do about. Unless screeching into the wind amounts to anything.

      Please keep voting.

      Would I recommend you vote differently than you say? Maybe, but so what. Just please vote, and encourage others to vote.
