In reply to the discussion: How the extreme left gave us Nixon, Bush and now Trump [View all]agincourt
(1,996 posts)like myself. One who believes that capitalism is the root of our problems, that America never really was great, that Che Guevara should be read by everyone. You can believe all these things and still vote against the candidate that wants to further militarize the police, vote against the candidate that wants to take away public schools, vote against the one who systematically will try to make the rich, richer, including himself. You can vote against the candidate who wants more private prisons, builds walls to a country that no one wants to go to anymore, the one who wages war on the working class safety net, the one who target Hispanics particularly. One can vote against fascism and still be a socialist, but unfortunately many socialists think that voting is some big purity ritual instead of political maintenance. Hil was cozy with rich people so the ballot can't be used as a weapon against Trump.
