There’s a large number of people out there that think “everything sucks right now and there’s a democrat president, so to make things different I should vote republican”

Fund schools. Keep the department of Education in existence and quadruple its funding.

You should be against genocide and not vote for genociders.

I agree, but I don’t have that choice right now. The issue of genocide isn’t on the two-party ballot. The issue of public education is. Fewer educated people means fewer people who can even identify genocide when it happens.

“What good is identifying genocide if you’re not gonna stop it”

How the fuck can I stop it?!?!??

HOW THE FUCK CAN I STOP IT?!?!?!?

If you actually want to stop fascism in the long term you'll need to join a socialist org. Liberals have historically acquiesced to fascism because of systemic forces inherent to capitalism.

If you'd like to know more, I'd recommend reading "The economy and class structure of german fascism"
