100% correct. The fascists don't want people to vote. They are working hard to stop them from voting. If you are also doing that, you're helping fascists.

Also inside of America. Really at any time.
Actually, there is a pretty good chance that someone is legally prohibiting conservatives from being within 100' of a school or playground.

Voters are grown-ups. Grown-ups are responsible for their decisions. Therefore, voters are responsible for their decisions regarding voting.
There's plenty of blame to go around, but everyone who could have voted for Harris and didn't gets some.
Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.
Patriots! Rise up! Vote YES! #vote #virginia #VoteYES
Apparently our contempt for Trump voters was too subtle for WaPo to pick up on
I think that's false. On the federal level you're unlikely to get a choice between 0% harm and 100% harm, but you may get the choice between 20% harm and 100% harm. That's not nothing.
It won't solve every problem all at once tomorrow but it will help some people right away and it's a pretty small ask for most people so it's worth doing.
Do you disagree?
It's unlikely we'll get someone on the national stage that ends the American Imperial system immediately, but we can choose how much harm that system does by picking less harmful candidates. And we can also significantly reduce the harm done to marginalized groups in our communities at the same time
Quite a lot, actually, especially on the local levels. Through the primary process we can choose who is eligible for office, and then we elect from that pool.
Like, am I misreading you? Because it *sounds* like what you're saying is voting is useless and should be abandoned as an element of our anti-fascist strategy. Is that what you think?
Cool story. So anyways fascists are in charge so maybe we shouldn't just throw away our political power? Why should we abandon the battlefield of elections to the enemy?
Obviously that's not *all* we should do. I also protest, do community aid, all that other cool stuff.
Why would you try to discourage people from voting? Why should we abandon any tool in the fight?
If you support requiring showing an ID at the polls but do NOT support making that ID free and easily accessible for all citizens, then you're lying about your concern being voter fraud.
Doing one thing right every few years doesn’t absolve the Roberts court. Especially after Dobbs and immunity.

Of course, more than one person can be responsible for something. Politicians also have to run effective campaigns, and if they fail then they also get blame. This is a "both-and" situation.
If you think that if a candidate loses the voters bear zero responsibility, then which premise do you reject?
Are voters not grown-ups?
Or are grown-ups not responsible for their own decisions?
Can't be neither. You have to pick one, because that's how logic works.
P1: Grown-ups are responsible for their choices
P2: Voters are grown-ups
Conclusion: Voters are responsible for their choices. This includes the choice of voting.
Lots of folks asking me who I’d like to vote for in 2028 and my answer reminds the same: it’s AOC.
But I’ll vote for whichever Dem the primary voters choose as their candidate.
Anyone who tries to tell you that the Democrats being in charge is identical to the Republicans being in charge is functionally a Republican shill.
Ignore them, just as you'd ignore any other fascist propaganda.
Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
Democrats should run this year on returning tariff revenue to Americans. Trump already said today he’s going to fight this in the courts. An easy mode way to be on the right side of the affordability issue.
At this point, posts like the OP's are basically fascist propaganda. Their only function is to make resistance against fascism less effective.
The history books will have no shortage of targets for their fingers to point at. We truly have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to people to blame.
I was going to say grok is a bad choice but then actually it is probably super familiar with Nazi tattoos
Also, to be clear, I'm not saying that the only blame to go around goes on voters. This is "Yes, and" time baby. Voters are to blame for not voting correctly and also McConnell is to blame for allowing Trump to rise to prominence and also and also and also.
