For all that leftists insist 'liberals always choose fascism,' y'all seem real insistent about not stopping an outright fascist.
It is hilarious that you think that voting for one of two fascists is stopping fascism. It’s sad that you believe Americans are actually participants in their government and not victims of it.
Fascists do not care about democracy or voting. You cannot stop a fascist with an election. Just look to history for examples, Hitler never won an election. Neither did Mussolini. They both seized power in a crisis. Why is this important? Because even if the American election was real and not rigged (of which it is) the fascists will push the country to a crisis and take power anyway.
There is only one way out of this for the Americans and they are refusing to take it seriously or act. It isn’t voting. I hope they can choose non violence and this looks like calling for a constitutional convention to start, the actual structure of their government is fundamentally broken and cannot be fixed with its own processes by design.

The Americans will not choose this though, they are a damaged and deeply violent society who prefer death over life and will make the wrong choice and the entire world will suffer.
