it happened in 2016 when trump won due to dipshit idealists like me who allowed hillary's shitty behavior and dogshit strategy to disenfranchise us because we were too weak willed and petty to see the big picture.
LEARNED FROM THAT FUCKING MISTAKE, I TELL YOU WHAT.

Trump didn't win because people sat out from Hillary, Trump won because he appealed to rising fascist ideals in the conditions of decaying Capitalism. Putting the blame on a tiny percentage of the electorate and not the system itself that gave rise to Trump and fascism itself is misplaced.

It happened in 2000 when Gore didn't get a clear enough edge to choke out W because people fucked their votes away on the "better" option of Nader. Those 97,488 votes would've utterly annihilated W's meager 537 vote lead, if only people would have gotten their shit together and realized what was at stake.

See previous point.

and UNDERSTAND that the bluedog scum centrists will NEVER be vulnerable to the consequences of their FUCKERY
UNTIL
and
UNLESS
we exterminate their favorite token excuse, the modern post-southern-strategy Republican Party.

You can't, without eliminating Capitalism. The reason the Republican Party exists at all is because the Material Conditions of declining Capitalism support it. Beat Capitalism and the fascists go away with it.

America pulled it off before when the Federalist party got curb stomped into oblivion with several years of consistent loss. We need to do that again. Because the last thing I want to see is your 'noble', 'principled', 'high minded' CORPSE being shoveled into a mass grave with the rest of us at GOP-operated deathcamps.

And yet we have another fascist party now.
