      Our choices were Fascism or Corporatism. Why wouldn’t we blame the parties?

        I blame the Democratic party as much as anybody else for not being progressive enough, but nobody can blame a party for their own decision not to vote.

          Are you one of the people who consider voting third party to be tantamount to not voting?

            I think he’s referring to people who didn’t vote because “both sides are bad”

          I mean

          Consequentially saying the dems are shit resulted in authoritarianism

          So yeah

          But what that user was saying is that 90% of the posts on Lemmy about Dems shitting beds are made by Tankies who unapologetically support Trump and Putin.

            How many centuries of power would the Democrat need to do what they’re elected for?

            More like, the dems being shit resulted in authoritarianism. Republicans fight hard to implement fascism, democrats fight hard to keep the status quo, even as it grows more fascist.
