    Oh so you were intentionally using partial truths to misleadingly imply that votes couldn’t have kept Hitler out of office? Which was the thing I said and the thing you quoted before arguing against it … something else apparently.

    if you’re trying to stop fascists electorally, you should at least make sure that the person you’re electing isn’t just going to promote and work with the exact people you’re trying to stop.

    Agreed, maybe you should have led with that instead.

    The Democrats are complicit in many inexcusable things that both parties will continue to do until something changes radically. They are however very much not complicit in trying to get rid of voting and other fascist shit Trump has been pushing relentlessly.

      I believe what I said was that voting for a lesser evil was not a historically effective way of keeping Hitler out of power. Because the lesser evil won and things still played out the way they did. I didn’t say anything about voting in general.
