So what's your solution? Do nothing and let the fascists take over? Start a revolution that will (at best) get put down quickly and nothing changes?

The only way to really show force is to do a general strike, but no one has the community support networks to outlast the capital class to get shit done. So for now, we either vote to keep shit from spiralling or we give in and accept the boot.

Win, lose, it doesn't matter.

Spoken from a place of privilege, where the consequences of your choice don't affect those around you. It matters to me who wins and loses, because one person winning means the rest of us lose and may not have a chance again. I have people I love who may not have rights in a year or two depending on how things play out.

But hey, I guess that part doesn't matter to you.

Thanks for the heads up. Between their reply and looking through their comments, I can see you're right.
