I was talking as compared to other democrats. Hes not as progressive as people think.

That said yeah obviously I’d be to the moon if he was president right now.

Right now because Trump won a second time I’m dead inside. And I think I’ll probably be dead inside forever because even if we elect someone better in 2028 I’ll know we elected Trump twice. That will haunt me forever.

Jon Stewart is kind of meh. I guess I’d vote for him though.

What if the ‘other’ is building a nuke? What if they refuse to vaccinate and are a notch away from creating a new superbug that will likely kill you? What if they’re pumping pollution into the air and water and maximizing climate change? What if they’re raping and violently torturing children?

What if you need them to maintain your food supply, electricity, medical care, etc? What if you need the local ‘other’ to back you up if another more distant ‘other’ decides it going to kill you and take your land?

I say this as a heavily individualist minded person myself: You can’t operate a worthwhile society as a collection of islands. You need cooperation.

It would be better to eradicate spacetime itself with a vacuum decay event than to allow a completely brutal “every man for themselves” world to continue existing. Pointless suffering.

Instead you should have said “I welcome a vacuum decay event erasing existence and painlessly and instantly deleting all life on earth.”

Bare minimum, if at any point you’ve expressed as a politician negative views towards democracy or any core philosophical element of democracy or indicates a desire to remove or destroy it, you should be bared from running for office.

Any politician who expresses positive feelings or views of historical parties who dismantled or destroyed democracy should also bar them from running.

You wouldn’t even have to use the word “fascism”. Just create a law that establishes that its illegal to dismantle, weaken, or destroy democracy and that even conspiring or openly stating the criminal threat of doing so is also a crime and on top of whatever criminal penalties it also prevents you from running for office as punishment.

I work as an office worker at a community center with a youth program that sometimes gets pulled into the “counselor” position when we’re short handed. I can’t understand how the counselor’s stay so motivated to teach the kids anything when I feel like they all know what’s coming and there isn’t any curriculum for us because its after school.

Fascists are incompatible with democracy and should be barred from holding any office.

Your take is either aggressively fucking stupid, or you are a fascist arguing in bad faith.
