    progress > stagnation >>>>>>> fascism

    I don’t understand people who go “if I can’t have progress and I’m forced to vote for stagnation in order to prevent fascism, then I’m fine with fascism.”

      It does not follow that everyone who isn’t overjoyed with stagnation wants fascism.

          Well, I’m voting for Biden. It’s a shame that the party would rather stagnate and lose than progress and win.

      Because the people offering stagnation are benefiting from the fascism. They’re two sides of one coin and every time you flip the coin the sharp edges slice the throat of a poor person.

      Besides, it’s not stagnation, that implies not moving. We are actually moving backwards and the reason why republicans are able to ban abortion, engage in blatant corruption, and run for president whilst on trial is because the “stagnation” side refuses to mount a proper offence because, again, they’re all benefitting from the situation.
