    I mean, I can’t fault anyone who chose to sit out this election… they were offered 0 good choices.

      I can… We were offered outright fascism or a continuation of slow decay. At least the slower option gave us much-needed time for positive change

        I dunno, I’d rather rip the bandaid off, because keep going down the “slow decay” route just means we kept strengthening the machine that is bringing us fascism, making it a more solidly in place system…

        But you’re right: Fast descent to fascism, or slow descent. But, a fascist was the only options presented.
