No, a bunch of people voted third party or didn't vote at all as a protest.

I voted for Obama, he was pretty good

I voted for Bernie, then grit my teeth and voted for Hillary when the DNC rigged their own primaries that they afterward admitted to.

Then I voted for biden

Then Kamala

This year is the first year I will 100% refuse to vote for another milquetoast Neoliberal that will ensure nothing will meaningfully change.

This year the neoliberals get to decide if we have democracy or facism.

Either help us end the Duopoly or get out of the way.

Letting fascists end democracy is certainly one way to end the duopoly I suppose.

A slow and steady decline is not sustainable.

The can is at the end of the road.

It's time for non establishment leadership.

I agree a slow steady decline is not sustainable, but it is reversible in time. If fascism takes full control, there will be no more democracy, no more elections, and no more chance to change without massive bloodshed.

If the only people we allow to oppose Republicans are Neoliberals then no, the decline won't be reversed, because Neoliberals maintain power by maintaining the status quo.

The time for the Neoliberals to prove they can make positive change happen was any time in the last 50 years, and they have proven they don't care about that shit.

Centrists, Neoliberals, classic liberals, anarchists, socialists, and anyone not on the right in general all need to put aside their differences and unite in defense against fascism because of fascism wins everyone loses. There will be no democracy. This isn't an opinion. It is a fact seen over and over again through history.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

So when are the Neoliberals putting aside their support of Fascism and Capitalism?

Because that is required to fix these problems.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Everyone who is not uniting to fight against fascism is supporting fascism. There is no greater enemy.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah it sucks you refuse to unite with the people willing to fix problems in reality.
