    You don’t understand what hypocrisy is. You think people are shitting on you because they just don’t like the concept of third parties, but then suddenly change their tune when it’s beneficial, but it’s actually because of the impact of specific third parties on whether fascists get to do things.

    If the Greens were just running in deep-blue districts to challenge effectively unopposed Democrats more moderate than their district, that’d be a good thing. Maybe they’d still lose, but at least it wouldn’t make the country more fascist, and hopefully a few would win and make it a more progressive place. I wish there was someone from the left challenging my representative. But instead they almost only compete in high-profile elections where they have no chance of impact except to possibly help the fascist party get a plurality. Supporting fascists is bad.

      That’s exactly what I think. And I am seeing proof of it here every day! lol

      And not all republicans are “fascists” by the way. I talking about strictly party loyalty. I don’t care who the repubican candidate is, the vitrol would be exactly the same.

      You guys don’t like it when it affects you, but it’s totally fine when it affects them. Yes, that is hypocrisy.

      And how long are you all gonna play the “fascist” card. Is it only for Trump? Or will it be for the next Republican too? And the one after that? And after? What about the people who vote republican, are they all fascists too? Is half the country fascists now?

      You guys are just as extreme as they are. And just as cultish.

      Not only that, the arguments I have had with people here on Lemmy, has done NOTHING to change my mind on the Green Party. I’m looking for to voting Green now, more than ever.

        LOL, a “socialist” hesitant to call Republican politicians “fascist”. Yeah, sure. I totally believe you.

          I’m confused, what part are you uncertain about?

          I said not all Republicans are fascists, and I stand by that. I also don’t think all Republican politicians are fascists.

          What part is so surprising to you? Do you think that half of the country is fascist now!?
