Also UAW - understands tyrannical fascism isn't wonderful for the 99% and that the world order as we know it would end, all the while supporting down ballot candidates

And I grew up in a union household before I got a degree in academic bullshit talking points about these very topics. Don't act like you give a shit about working people, if you're espousing philosophy to encourage actions whose consequences are GOP exec branch.

Sorry I don't buy into voting for slightly less insane fascism over insane fascism.

Y'all keep blaming us for not voting for democrats but democrats can't run a non-fascist option, making sure if one gains steam in the party they kneecap the fuck out of them to run this milquetoast mid-right bullshit.

Kids are still in cages and democrats are supporting the genocide in Palestine, yes Democrats are fascist

"We have to ignore reality because it helps the opposition to acknowledge it" sure is some rhetoric alright.
