    You shouldn’t be coerced like this to vote for something you don’t believe in. I think OP misunderstood the sentiment of people who say that voting isn’t going to solve these problems, as an idea that you shouldn’t vote. If you want, vote, but you have to actually do something to fight fascism, you can’t vote fascism out, you just get another maybe less of a fascist, that still kills innocent people.

    You need to organize outside of the voting system and stop the industry of violence against the innocent with physical sabotage or violence itself. But make sure you also build an actual direct democratic system in the process, that is the hard part.

      I get what you’re saying. “The Rules” can’t stop bad ideas. The only thing that stops a bad idea is a good idea and the spine to implement it. Republicans have gotten as far as they have because they believe in something, and govern in accordance with those beliefs, even if it’s a bunch of bigoted, fascist, bullshit. Democrats, and liberals in particular, say, “Forget your conscience and just Trust the Process”, because “The Process” is morality itself, and any ends achieved by going outside “The Process” is inherently immoral.
