Folks, there is a full blown, certified by experts (including previously reluctant ones) fascist party in the United States, the #GOP

It's part of a larger neofascist movement that crosses national boundaries.

Until the #fascist run party is no longer run by fascists I am a #SingleIssueVoter : I'm voting against #fascism.

And no. #Biden isn't a fascist. You can level many complaints against him and the Dems but being fascist isn't one of them.

@philip_cardella Someone here the other day tried to tell me I live under the Biden “regime.”

I can walk out my door and put a “Fuck Biden” sign in my car window. I don’t live under a regime.

@TonyStark @philip_cardella Elect Trump and people can find out what a regime might actually look like.

@TonyStark This guy lives on a fairly busy street less than 2 miles from my house. He's so oppressed.

We can and SHOULD hold Biden to a high standard. In fact, he tells us he wants us to! Worst case scenario he feels like that's what he's supposed to say--great! But I honestly believes he means it, even if he doesn't like it.

@philip_cardella That’s pretty sad. But sure- it’s his right. No regime here.

I express myself to all of my elected representatives. It’s a right of participation.

@TonyStark Right? I hate that this guy has this and the other "fuck Biden" "Fuck your feelings" flags.

But I'll be damned if I think they shouldn't be allowed to say them.

Now, honestly, the skeleton seems pretty close to a death threat to me and that would cross a line if true. But it's close enough I'm just going to choose to laugh it off and make sure I vote and everyone I know votes.

@philip_cardella I had a MAGA guy in my neighborhood post a sign with an actual crime threat in his yard about a year ago. A police officer talking to him actually worked to get him to remove it although I called my state representative first because he has lots of better ideas than I do. I’m lucky to have a great person in that job.

It was probably still his right but it definitely caused distress to people passing it. I don’t walk anywhere near his house now. Let’s just say that.

@TonyStark you are right! but if you saw say free palestine you can lose your job! at least china’s social credit system has a visual metric of acceptable opinion. @philip_cardella

@thegarbagebird @philip_cardella No one has lost their job for saying “free Palestine.”

Saying stuff like this makes your credibility zero.

And “at least the massive human rights suppressor gives you social credit” is also far off because not all of them are acceptable. Cripes.

@thegarbagebird @philip_cardella Either your Chat GPT is glitching or Vlad didn’t spring for the high end translation software for you.

@philip_cardella Neither candidate deserves any votes, and too many of us are tired of choosing the lesser evil. At the end of the day, the highest court is your own conscience. A lot of ppl will regret voting for either one.

@faerfyr @philip_cardella

"choosing the lesser evil"

that is the only choice you will ever get, in every democracy that ever existed and ever will, for all time

the real issue is your toxic perfectionism leading to the worst choice being elected

you either realize this and are a vatnik/ wumao troll cosplaying

or you genuinely don't and you are a privileged entitled fool to be so cavalier about what is on the line with the choice
