    But have you considered that a system that leads to fascism is still better than actually manifested fascism?? And yea, maybe we should fix it before it gets there, but if it can’t be fixed with voting now then we should have voted harder before, and vote harder next time

      As a soc dem, capitalism is only slightly better but the system needs heavy regulations. But with the burgeoning AI and automation, I am starting to lean more towards socialism. I mean, after AI “companies” stole our data to train their AI with, isn’t it only right that WE should actually take rightful ownership of that? At some point, AI and automation will become advanced enough that most jobs will be gone and humans would not be needed anymore. When that time comes, the ordinary folks should take their rightful stake in that automation revolution by taxing robots or take communal ownership of AI to fund universal basic income and services. That is the best socialism we can get. Not only we can finally rid of social ails that plague humanity due to unbridled capitalism, but also we are taking away full power from oligarchs who stole our own data to begin with. They would not be there if it weren’t for us to begin with.

      Voting gives the illusion of choice and power. If it really made a difference we wouldn’t be allowed to do it.

        Voting gives choice and power. If it didn’t make a difference they wouldn’t try to stop you from voting

        Roger Stone got Bush elected by swarming a court house

        Trump has harassed the authenticity of voting, voting laws and registration rolls to prevent people from voting.

      Darnittt and I’m already voting against who I want in charge rather than who I actually want to have a majority. 😩 Is there like a fascist lite party I can vote for or something?? Obviously, I’d prefer no fascism but as we all no, it’s that kind of talk that leads to the fascists taking over!

          … if you’re dead set on maintaining a liberal democracy, where “maintaining” refers to what you’re seeing in the US with Trump right now. Also, it’s not restricted to two party systems. Look at Europe.

            Nah, I mean literally the US without some kind of revolution. States aren’t THAT separate in the US.
