Letting fascists end democracy is certainly one way to end the duopoly I suppose.

A slow and steady decline is not sustainable.

The can is at the end of the road.

It's time for non establishment leadership.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (12 children)

I agree a slow steady decline is not sustainable, but it is reversible in time. If fascism takes full control, there will be no more democracy, no more elections, and no more chance to change without massive bloodshed.

If the only people we allow to oppose Republicans are Neoliberals then no, the decline won't be reversed, because Neoliberals maintain power by maintaining the status quo.

The time for the Neoliberals to prove they can make positive change happen was any time in the last 50 years, and they have proven they don't care about that shit.

Centrists, Neoliberals, classic liberals, anarchists, socialists, and anyone not on the right in general all need to put aside their differences and unite in defense against fascism because of fascism wins everyone loses. There will be no democracy. This isn't an opinion. It is a fact seen over and over again through history.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So when are the Neoliberals putting aside their support of Fascism and Capitalism?

Because that is required to fix these problems.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Everyone who is not uniting to fight against fascism is supporting fascism. There is no greater enemy.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah it sucks you refuse to unite with the people willing to fix problems in reality.

Everyone is going to have to compromise on this one. Stopping this is more important than any of our individual goals.

Same shit in 2016

Same shit in 2024

Guilting people into voting for neoliberals is a losing strategy.

You can't be on the same loser shit as always.

Neoliberalism is a failed ideology.

That's the compromise.

Everyone put aside their differences in 2020 and we beat Trump. Say what you want about Biden, but he was better than Trump.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

That is absolutely not what happened in 2020.

People were feeling the effects of 4 years of Republican leadership and voted out the incumbent.

After 4 more years passed with no more money in their pockets they voted out the incumbent again.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Look at the voter turnout. What you are saying is not what happened. Trump didn't significantly lose votes in 2020, but the Democrats did. Then in 2024 democrat voting numbers went down again.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm glad you agree the solution isn't another milquetoast Neoliberal democrat.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I absolutely agree. That doesn't mean whoever is picked won't have to compromise with Neoliberals and create a unified force against fascism. Remember even the US and USSR cooperated to defeat the Nazis.
