To be fair it sounds like OP feels betrayed, and is kinda scared about ending up in a death camp (and it's insane they have a legitimate fear about that, wtf USA?!). It's easy to point at nazis and say it's their fault (it is), but they weren't your allies in the first place and didn't betray you, they said they'd throw you in the death camp. Your allies were the ones that could have saved you... and it looks like they chose not to. I'd be raging too

OP is a Democrat stooge. Look at comment history.

OP could be a bot and it doesn't still negate the point. I can imagine there's plenty of people affected who probably feel something along the lines

Yeah I think I get it, betrayal is a strong emotion. But now instead of realizing who their real enemies are (their class antagonists), they're doubling down on fighting about election results.

Oh for sure, it's not fruitful at all. But it is understandably human nonetheless, I doubt anyone being taken by the fascists care much about the difference between people who voted for them to be able to do it and those who didn't vote to prevent it

I'm a Democrat stooge too because

  1. I've reviewed their voting history.

  2. I've reviewed their criminal conviction history compared to Republicans.

  3. I've been around long enough to know they occasionally get significant wins for middle/lower class Americans.

  4. I know the alternative is fascism.

3rd parties are not viable and won't be anytime in the foreseeable future. This isn't a hard decision if you're in the middle/lower classes. So yeah, I'm going to simp for the party that is WAY better for me and everyone I know instead of pretending there's some other magical option to hold out for.
