Liberals that thought they were stopping Nazis voted for the lesser evil that always leads to right wing power. Until they realize lesser evil does not exist they will keep repeating their fuckup.
A vote for Biden isnt stopping fascism when their ratchet effect enables it.
I see this dynamic in our two party system:
The governing party makes wealth inequality worse.
The difference between R’s and D’s is how quickly they sprint toward greater and greater wealth inequality.
R’s don’t even discuss economics beyond offering meaningless platitudes. R’s never use economic metrics outside national deficit and never hold themselves responsible outside cutting all the social programs. This is what they call “fiscal responsibility” (to their billionaire donors).
D’s pretend to care about economics and do use a few metrics but always deceptively. They talk about jobs gained but never the conditions of those jobs. They talk about inflation slowing but never talk about the inability of the bottom quintile to build wealth.
Thus economics is guaranteed to worsen no matter who is in power. Which when this gets bad enough, the center folds, because very few can tolerate the status quo. So people rush to political radicalism on the left and on the right, because people want “anything but THIS!”
Both parties are complicit and work together to fuck the people over.
If voting just makes it worse slower, then what can We the People do to make it better?
-
Advocacy. Mouth to mouth education like what you are already doing. Too few people understand yet. We need more people with this same understanding first.
-
Direct action, and I don’t exclude anything. Protests and strikes make an impact, but they are just two forms of direct action out of infinity. Direct action means taking matters into your own hands instead of delegating.
The thing is, if you want to take the more radical forms of direct action while still staying relatively safe yourself, you need broad popular support. See #1 above.
Eventually, the primary beneficiaries and boosters of the status quo, the billionaires, will fold.
