    Okay Trump is fascism. So how did a fascist get elected directly after one of the greatest presidents of all time had his second term? What could have caused that? What condition was the country in at the end of Obama's term that caused Trump to take power? Certainly the non-fascist and intelligent, technocratic, moral Democrats couldn't have created the conditions for fascism, right? I mean certainly the intelligent Harvard grads and coastal intelligentsia aren't suggesting fascism comes out of nowhere?

    Also here's a good comedy tip: Just yell what you believe. That's super funny and a very comedic thing to do. Especially in a funny voice.

      Just yell what you believe.

      Ok who remembers when NYT had that gusano "Venezuelan" "comedienne" make a cutesy video about how actually sweety NOT doing a coup in Venezuela is the bloodier choice--I think the video literally ended with "sometimes 'hands off' means blood on your hands"--and it turns out her father is connected to some American/western foreign policy think tank...but more importantly her comedy bits were basically her yelling into her phone on Twitter?

        I was a Johanna Hausmann fan (why are gusanos always of euro descent) but that vid made me unsub real quick.

          I remember that last name raising many eyebrows at first but her ancestry apparently fled the Holocaust, not the Nuremberg trials.

    I feel pity for these liberals. They are rightfully terrified, but either can't comprehend or deny that electing Biden will change anything.

    How big of a difference, really, is there between letting people die on the street from not being about to afford non-affordable housing (where if they attempt to build or liberate housing, violence is used against them) and just keeping them in cages, also to die?

      This is basically like being a character in a sitcom and mugging the camera saying "How could it POSSIBLY get any worse??"

      The alliance of petite bourgeoisie and corporate finance, and isn't it interested that black people, who are the (((American subjects of nazi ghettos))), lost their homes during Obama's presidency? Literally what Bordiga talked about when he wrote about the holocaust

    I hope Biden wins not because he's better, and not even because he's the funnier outcome, but because Trump's brand of unintentional humor is getting old and we need a new kind of senile old guy to laugh at.

      I'm just honestly tired of hearing Trump's voice. I guess I could tune out but I won't. Frankly, that's was what i was most looking forward to after 2016, just never having to hear his awful voice again.

      Preparing for disappointment this time though.

        Pretty crazy how American electoralism is so useless that we're supporting candidates based on how funny their brainrot is. Cool government system.

      Right? Somebody in comments said she probably voted Klob but this is clearly a Warren person, albeit one who might throw a stapler at you if you don't VOTE.

    I have friends that would identify as socialist or leftists and have a similar opinion. That we can just fix this all later after trump is gone.

    The chapobins don't really talk electoralism anymore since the primary but in all seriousness I think the country is about to like dissolve.

    I was convinced by this argument in 2016 and voted for HRC against trump. And idk. It didn't work then. And now the "fascist" is in power. Idk how the election is supposed to help us. It's clear trump is looking for his reischtag fire. And its clear if he can't find one more convincing then he will just use the election itself as a reischtag fire and declare the results illegitimate. Thats if he doesn't cheat and win by a landslide.

    I think america might be over. Idk. But voting certainly isn't going to help.

      America is certainly sliding into the shit soup toilet and no one is going to be able to vote their way out of it. There are forces at play bigger than a mere election and those results are already basically predetermined. We live under a Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie, we aren't suppose to have political power by design. We need to take it for ourselves.
