Inadvertently, it doesn’t matter who you are voting for, because all candidates at all levels (especially at the higher ones), will “compromise” because “of political realities”. They’ll vote for the corporation, the military, the imperialist foreign policy, the gutting of any semblance of social safeties, etc. But then they’ll excuse it to you, and tell you they are with you. And then do it again the next time. Tell me honestly that the candidates you’ve voted for so far haven’t followed this pattern of behavior.

It doesn’t mean they are fascist or evil themselves. They are just part of a party that is ideologically and institutionally part of a particular system that serves capital. Sometimes they are allowed to pursue some policy that doesn’t really affect capital, just because it helps keep the facade up, like same-sex marriage, or some token of welfare. More often they are allowed to speak about these things but hindered at implementing them. And that’s why they’ll always be fascists too. Just polite ones.

The people you vote for, statistically end up supporting fascism. They might not realize it, but their actions have clear consequences. So the real question is, why do you vote Democrat?

It’s a bargain

But still coined by cold war boomers

And genocide as well, since it’s used to create target lists for the IDF and the US airforce

Yes, you, with your data and taxes.

So the people who fought to win their independence and the people who rebelled against the aristocracy to establish democratic rule are all assholes.
