The last election was a shitshow.

As usual, the younger generation didn't bother voting, and the older one voted en masse for conservative candidates because they are those our media push for, while at the same time slandering progressive ones.

In the election runoff, we had the choice between an openly fascist candidate from a party literally founded by former Nazis, and a "light fascist" one that people were seeing as the lesser evil. Though it's pretty obvious now that his fascism isn't so light (he openly admires Petain, a french leader who collaborated with Nazi Germany), and I hope people will remember that for the next election and understand that voting for a democratic candidate in the first turn if very important.

Weird how this sounds alot like what's happening in the US. Almost like fascism is encroaching all acrost the world as it crumbles.

If people get out and fucking vote like it’s your last chance, we can get some sanity.

Oh? Should people vote for the lesser of two evils? Because that's your only choice if you continue to insist you can vote your way out of this.

Absofreakinglutely!

There will never be a perfect candidate. This is politics.

Well then enjoy voting for Hitler (D) because that's what you are going to get.
