vote for Mussolini as harm reduction then take up arms against him
???
I suppose what this person means is that you can vote for a right-wing candidate and then pressure him to do things that might be considered left-wing or something like that. But the problem is that Democratic voters aren’t going to do that, except for a few groups of people. Most Democratic politicians win elections simply because they are not Republicans, and as such, when they are elected to office, they do nothing useful.
America has a hilarious electoral system, and I mean in how the election process is handled in this case. Canada is really funny as well where elections come out of absolutely no where and you’re not sure whether it’s municipal, provincial or federal for most of it, the while thing last two weeks or so and whatever building in your district that the most old people gather at normally is where you go to vote, you only fill one ballot per election and it takes like 5 seconds.
“mister Mussolini you deserve to be shot directly in the head but I will do my faithful duty to ritually prostrate myself at the voting booth in your honor”

just when i thought we’ve seen the worst take possible.
You could give the fascist power, then realize that he can no longer be stopped, precisely because of the power you gave him.
SPD moment of clarity, somewhere in the train going to concentration camp.
Only if you tear up the sticker on the way out of your polling place.
Couldn’t you just skip straight to the taking up arms part and save a lot of trouble?
if nothing else save yourself the long wait in a line with no water

Right but then they’d lose the argument so
