    This comment is the perfect example of why fascism has a habit of winning. Laziness from the populace. One election in one office is all you’re willing to commit. We voted one time in one election, why wasn’t that enough? One office wasn’t run by a fascist and that’s got to do it for the entire country for the rest of all time I guess. One vote is all you’re willing to commit. People who don’t understand fight against fascism is a lifetime of work are the people who deserve fascism. Beating fascism is about building a strong Democratic populace. About building a system and a society that respects the Democratic process. It takes decades and it has to be renewed constantly. Also wouldn’t be a bad idea to just go around hanging fascist every 30 or 50 years or so either, that’s also an option.

        I didn’t say you said it I said you were an example of it. Hell you just did it again, every 4 years you say. Exactly the issue. You people think it’s a one-time game. It’s not , it’s constant. It’s every Congressional race it’s every senate race it’s every state race it’s every School Board Race. The fight is unending. Also yeah some people deserve fascism, they’re called the people that sit on their ass and let it overwhelm them. People that aren’t willing to fight it are the ones who deserve it. Cuz they’re the ones that enable it more than anyone else.

        I agree it takes groundwork, what kind of ground work is my question though. Real groundwork? The kind of groundwork that endorses democracy and respect for democracy? The kind of ground work that keeps progressively moving us away from fascism step by step? Yeah that’s the kind of ground work we need. That’s the kind of ground work you’re sitting here arguing against. Your groundwork is vote one time in one election and then turn your nose up at the entire process and sabotage anyone who wants to keep fighting. You all or nothing people are the problem. When you’re steering a nation it takes a long time for the rudder to move. It takes constant pressure to change course. That course change is going to take years and maybe even decades but you have to keep pushing on the rudder. If you never try you go where you were headed in the first place. That’s what your endorsing here. One brief nudge and then sitting on your ass. Doesn’t move anything.

            How do you define Direct? I’m open to a very wide range of it whether it’s from going door to door all the way through throwing bombs into the carriage of a tsar. Action’s fantastic particularly at local level, in fact primarily at the local level. Up to and including Carriage routes.

            Yup. There it is. The path of fascism victory. Exactly what I’ve been saying. Thank you.
