Political systems have collapsed countless times in history. When I say something better I mean something outside of this corrupted, illegitimate system that rewards only the wealthy, a structure which will kill us all if we don't work against it.

Why is this particular political structure and electoral process and set of parties the best? Can't we be more creative? We can do so much more than vote in this same process which makes us choose the 'lesser evil' to save democracy, every election for decades now. I can't bring myself to legitimize the US and still feel a clean conscience any longer.
And then anyone that suggests that elections aren't going to fix the root issues is shamed for ushering in fascism.
I have participated for over two decades in all ways possible, I can't support any part of this system with a good conscience anymore. We can do something better, the US constitution and neoliberal capitalism isn't the ultimate attainment of human progress.
I have seen that said, but I haven't seen it to be true
Wasn't there a court ruling that forcing someone to unlock their phone was unconstitutional? The fourth amendment seems to indicate a warrent at least is required to search someone's papers, in the modern era that should apply to phones, obviously the constitution is meaningless if they want to do whatever but still.
Edit: in Riley v. California (2014) the Supreme Court unanimously decided that warrentless search of a cellphone during an arrest was unconstitutional.
This is one of my favorite Jesus quotes, because it complements the idea that no one but god is free from sin. So no one can judge the sins of others but god and Jesus, but basically all the actual Christians that love it are ignorant on their own religion and think they are free from sin unlike those dang gays and such.
You know you can go reread your comment if you are confused.
Okay let me be more accurate, sorry. You said you dislike people that call themselves antifascist more than people who murder Jewish people and queers.
People against Nazis are worse than Nazis, is literally what you are saying.
And further alienate any actual people that might support them. They have to condemn political violence because it was an attack on their class, and their class solidarity overrides any political rivalry. But even my very liberal friend said "dang, it's too bad they missed." Idk what my Christian grandma feels about the shooting but when Trump got covid she did say he deserved it.
