    First of all vote.

    Second of all, I’m sick of this fall in line and do what we say bullshit.

    Fuck you!

    I will do what I want and if it happens to fall in line with what you tell me to then you’re lucky I’m even still going to do it.

    Fucking authoritarian bullshit is supposed to be on their side

      “Hey, the other guys are fascist, so if you don’t like fascism, you probably should vote against them”

      REEEE YOU’RE A FASCIST FOR EVEN MENTIONING THAT MAYBE PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE A CERTAIN WAY

        Fun fact: all fascists are authoritarian, but not all who are authoritarian are fascists.

        The other commenter rightly called your condescendingly controlling behavior based on adherence to authority authoritarian without calling you a fascist.

            Huh? You’re saying that the timing of his reply is somehow germane to whether or not telling people what to do is authoritarian behavior?

            Btw, just for the record, I don’t believe in not voting and will hold my nose and vote for the lesser evil when necessary. That’s not my problem with your comments.

            My problem is you pretty much ORDERING people to follow the example of you and me rather than advocating for it without authoritarian language.

              I didn’t tell anyone to do shit. I was simply pointing out that suggesting if people don’t like something they should vote against is in no way fascist or authoritarian or any of those things. What the fuck do you think campaigning and canvassing is?

              The sheer level of mental gymnastics you’d have to do to think it is is frankly impressive.

      I never said to fall in line. I said to look up bullet points on what Project 2025 is, look up who is for and who is against it, and get to the polls. I didn’t even say who to vote for. Everybody voting will result in the will of the people, and as somebody who likes having a democracy, that’s what I’m advocating for. I have my own opinions about which party is more pro democracy, and it’s probably pretty obvious to anybody who is paying attention to politics, but I was intentionally vague so that people can come to their own conclusions based on “doing their own research”.

      But I guess for you, telling people to inform themselves and vote based on factual information makes me an authoritarian. Cool.
