Yeah, I don't think this article makes sense. I don't think Republican party will die until we change elections into ranked choice voting or direct democracy.

So in the mean time, before this restructure, if it happens at all, there would be a period where one party would have unlimited power? Sounds like very risky, if it gets to that point, they can use that power to stay in power forever. I think we need ranked choice voting before we get rid of republicans or some sort of direct democracy.

Trump is here because dems wanted an easier candidate to run against. https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaign-intentionally-created-donald-trump-with-its-pied-piper-strategy/

Trump is literarlly elected because Hilary's campaign elevated him in their piped piper strategy to make Republiacan candidate more extreme so more people vote for her. https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaign-intentionally-created-donald-trump-with-its-pied-piper-strategy/

Wait a minute, if we get rid of the Republican Party, wouldn't a two party system become a one party system? So if Trump is elected, end of democracy, if Republican party is destroyed, also end of democracy? Is there no way out? End of democracy either way?

I just need one, being able to change if something in the code is against my interests.

I thought I replied to the main point of the argument. I can reply to those specific questions, but I don't think that really communicates my point. It is not necessarily as bad, but it is very close. I don't really think that most problems with Trump are comparable to killing huge population of innocent people. Most of the problems are general racism, corruption and thievery. Most articles critiquing Trump aren't about how he rounded up a bunch of innocent people in Gaza and starved them to death. As horrible as he is, you need to see the weight of these actions by Democrates and that they can not be accepted under no circumstances. They should be addressed as a priority.

Liberals get so focused on law, not questioning what the law is about and who wrote that law and for what purpose. Killing innocent people is the worst thing you can support, even an insurrection, as horrible as it is, if it didn't get as many innocent people killed, is far less immoral then actual war.

If your ideology is unquestionably supporting the law, then you are fascist, by definition.

Because then they would have to pretend to care for poor people. This way, they can just help Trump get elected in primaries, so they can just scare people into voting for their horrible candidates instead. They know what they are doing and it is working.

You need to do more than that if you want to fight fascism in America. Primaries aren't fair, the rich choose who gets elected. And by voting for any prowar candidate instead of some other prowar candidate will not change much either, as there is nothing more important than the loss of human lives. As important as trans rights are, people in Gaza can't escape now and they are actively being killed now. Focusing on trans rights now is like saying "All lives matter", they do, but no body is saying they don't, we just have people who are under threat right now.

It is true however.

Here is the link for my claim in this comment about Hilary supporting Trump. Just search for "Hilary pied piper" if you want more links.

As for proof that Biden is a genocidal maniac, here is the link for his support of Israel's genocide. By the way, he sidestepped congress in this. So not only is authoritarian, but also genocidal. If that is not fascism, I don't what is.

Maybe actually grab him with your hands, instead of going for a gun as a first option. The police in US is brutal.

r/politics mods are horrific. In the mod log (at the bottom of the screen) you can see they delete posts just because of different opinions.

There are many people that consider themselves left-wing that excuse their government support of genocide. I have no idea how...

He cares for innocent people that are getting killed in this war. You don't need love for compassion, just basic human decency.

I hope it changes what we do. If he is this brave, we can be a little braver in organizing a movement to stop our governments from supporting Israel, at any cost.

How is he a terrorist? He didn't hurt or threaten anyone? He sacrificed himself to bring attention to suffering of innocent people. He is a hero.
