So you think fascism is the answer? You would vote against minorities, in the US and around the world, to somehow save the people that are on the list of those the fascists plan to eliminate? You are voting for the leopard, and telling everyone to just deal with all the face eating? Weird stance, but if you can take a stance against everything you believe in, and believe that is somehow making things "better" more power to you I guess. You've drank your Kool-Aid and are just waiting for the meteor at this point.

I think you're confused, I'm not voting for someone who is carrying out a genocide.

If you want me to vote for a certain candidate, you should convince that candidate to stop the genocide.

It's a two party system, you're either voting for the people you claim to care about to have a chance, or your voting away any chance they have by voting for a Fascist.

You have chosen Fascism as your solution to genocide, so time to own it. I'm voting against fascism, because I want clean air/water, and I don't want family and friends fearing for their lives due to the increase in hate crimes, because they want to make who they are outlawed. I'm voting against the fascists because I don't think women should need to live in fear of becoming pregnant because they know they may not get necessary medical care to save themselves and/or their baby. I'm voting against the fascists because I believe in education, the environment, the rule of law. I'm voting against the fascist because I'm not ok with death camps to imprison anyone that isn't a white Christian nationalist.

The list goes on and on. I'm not voting for me, or any one issue (I'm a white male - so I'll be more than ok), I'm voting for everyone else in my life and community that is going to be stripped of their rights and made to live in fear.
