The danger of Trump & the right-wing is real – but we'll never be able to stop the far-right if we follow the lead of the Democrats.

Yes, the US has to fix the election system, making it possible to vote on other options that the duopoly without effectively voting against the lesser of two evils. And that won’t happen with a fascist in charge.
- Exactly, if Harris wins there will be another election in two years.
  
  If Trump wins, that's not a guarantee
  
  I don't get it. Two years?

  tl, dr = Congress is elected every two years.
  
  well, 2/3 of it anyway.
  
  I guess it was too long a read.
  
  One third of the Senate and all of the House of Representatives are elected every two years.
  
  I guess it was too long a read.
  
  I guess fractions are hard?
  
  = 1/2 + 1/2 * 1/3
  
  = 1/2 + 1/6
  
  = 3/6 + 1/6
  
  = 4/6
  
  = 2/3
  
  435 members of the House of Representatives.
  
  100 Members of the Senate.
  
  535 total.
  
  435 + 34 = 469.
  
  469 x 2/3 = 312.
  
  Also, in US politics, the President and the Legislature [combined House and Senate] and the Supreme Court are each considered one third of the total government.
  
  So, you're wrong twice.
  
  Yeah i remember there were no elections in USA in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024.
  
  So, I take it that you consider the January 6 coup a case of mild hijinx that hardly had any fatalities?
  
  Have you ever seen any coup, especially the ones US generously showers over all the world in huge amounts? Compared to that it was a fucking picnic, cops went harder on every left protest in history of USA.
  
  Also you did deflected: were there elections in 2018 and 2020 or not?
  
  So, it was a coup?
  
  And your question is completely silly. Jack the Ripper didn't attack every single night; does that mean he wasn't a killer?
  
  Treason is funny; it only takes one single instance to mark a fellow for life.
- you'll have to specify which fascist, the blue one or the red one.
  
  One of them fits the definition vey well, while one, at least, has to stretch the definition for the other.
