    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.

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

          Because that is required to fix these problems.

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

                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.
