Voting for the 70% Hitler instead of the 100% Hitler is the right move, not because it will save you or solve any of your problems, but because it gives you time, to create solutions.
Rich fucks won’t save you. Community and cooperation might. But those need time.
So vote for the least fascistic fascist available, and use the time to find solutions.
Voting for the 70% Hitler instead of the 100% Hitler
Fine and dandy - choose the least worst-seeming option. I didn’t tell you who to vote for - what I’m telling you is that irregardless of who wins in November, people are going to have to start coming to grips with the fact that “liberal democracy” hasn’t turned out to be very democratic. If it did, this mess wouldn’t have been able to exist in the first place.
Will electing an authoritarian promising ethnic clensing and codified class systems to further harm the poor and middle class create a democracy?
Good… I’m glad somebody is willing to admit that we don’t actually get to exist within democratic societies. It’s a start - it’s very difficult to do something about a problem when nobody will even admit to the problem existing.
You can’t preserve something you never had to start off with.
Doomerism gets you nowhere.
