> voting blue no matter who got us here, Well, no. Because Trump was elected. Twice. If people had "voted blue not matter who", we would have had Clinton, a shitty Dem and not a progressive, but NOT. TRUMP. And again with Harris, who would have been much better than TRUMP. The time to fight and the place to fight is NOT the general US election, but everywhere else - primaries, and beyond. But when it comes to the general election, the choice is FASCISM or NOT FASCISM for now, sot he choice is clear.

> I used to agree, but now I don't. In the general election, the choice is between FASCISM NOW or FASCISM LATER. Hard disagree. The reason for this mentality is Americans have this stupid fucking idea that one election fixes everything, and if we vote the once “correctly” we are done. Fuck that. Vote blue blue no matter who means vote them to the left EVERY TIME! So next election isn’t about a fascist vs. bare minimum. You get the minimum and then work your ass off for a better challenger FROM THE LEFT for the next election.

I used to agree, but now I don't. In the general election, the choice is between FASCISM NOW or FASCISM LATER. We've been signalling to the democratic party that fascism later is fine for years now, and we need to start signalling to them that it's not. Let's say Harris wins 2024. What would she do to prevent the next republican from being just as bad as, if not *worse* than, current Trump? Voting blue no matter who means *never* getting a progressive candidate. Why on earth would the democrats run a progressive when they can run a conservative, knowing you'll vote for anyone with a D next to their name? Also... What primaries should we be fighting in when they *don't have one?*
