Here ill ask you a simple question, that might put it into perspective.
What did you do to stop donald trump and the rising tide of fascism?
You're turning this whole conversation into this weird fucking purity test. Meanwhile you're either too blind or stupid to see that fascism has been here in the US. I've done protests, I've done voting, I've donated to causes that are anti-thetical to Trump and his laws. And guess what? Fascism is still here. Want to know why? Because none of that fucking does anything under a fascist government.
Because guess what? Fascism isn't something you can vote out. Anyone that knows about the history of fascism knows that.
At a certain point, you just threw your hands up and stayed at home.
Congratulations.
And you went out and achieved nothing at all. Because you were too bothered about how people voted over bringing your community together for when fascism finally came to your door.
Says the person actively driving wedges in their leftist community via single issue voting.
I hope your principles are comforting to your friends of color when they are segregated and deported.
I'll actually be with my community and fighting along side them when it happens. Not putting some paper in a box and expecting a fascist to disappear forever like you.
When?
Its happening right now and youre ignorant to it.
I love how you act like you know me. You don't, but it's cute.
I'm actively donating to causes and keeping updated/reporting ICE raids as they happen in the area. What about you?
Pretty much the same thing. The main difference being that i also voted to prevent these things.
You did not.
Why aren't you asking this of your elected officials with all the power to do this instead of some random person online? How ridiculous.
Harris and Biden chose to protect Israel over protecting the US and now we're all paying for it.
We know what they did, the answer is not enough. Anyone with half a brain knows that answer.
Now answer the question, what did you do?
