    What have I avoided?

    Well immediately above I asked:

    Why are you encouraging people to do things that will make it more likely for fascists to win and destroy what little leftist organizing there is in America?

    You have asserted that the actions you advocate won’t do that, but when I explain how they do exactly that, you simply make the assertion again. When that fails, you attempt to equivocate. But when I point out that more genocide is more harmful than less genocide, you simply ignore my statements and make your assertions again.

    That’s not helpful. It might convince some people, but only in the same way that repeating a lie enough makes some people believe it.

      The Dems and Reps work together against Leftist organization. They colluded to kick PSL off the ballot in Georgia, Tim Walz sent in the National Guard against Black Lives Matter protestors, and more. When you say that abandoning the Democrats “makes it more likely for fascists to win and destroy leftist organizing,” you ignore what fascism actually is: Capitalism in decay. It isn’t the Republican party alone, it’s the bourgeoisie. That is why I advocate for abandoning them and pushing for Leftist organization like PSL and FRSO.

      You have asserted that the actions you advocate won’t do that, but when I explain how they do exactly that, you simply make the assertion again. When that fails, you attempt to equivocate. But when I point out that more genocide is more harmful than less genocide, you simply ignore my statements and make your assertions again.

      You haven’t explained how abandoning Democrats makes it more likely for fascism to win. Fascism isn’t solely the Republican Party, it’s bipartisan. Secondly, more genocide is absolutely worse, but you haven’t explained how that would happen. If you don’t analyze the root cause of genocide, how can you say the Dems are holding genocide back? Biden went above the Pentagon to approve the invasion of Lebanon, because support for Israel is economic and not moral.

      That’s not helpful. It might convince some people, but only in the same way that repeating a lie enough makes some people believe it.

      Please answer my points, I repeat them because you ignore them.
