    Democrats are hard neolibs, which is another way of saying pro-Oligarchy (they want the State to not regulate Money, making the latter the greater power of the two, which is anti-Democratic since the State is led by elected leaders whilst Money is not) - in their pyramid of power, those with most money sit atop, then come them, then the State, then comes the rest - whilst Fascists put themselves atop, then the State, then Money, then the rest.

    The “plebes” are not represented by either one (for either they’re just supposed to produce wealth and provide manpower to maintain the power and priviledges of the higher levels of the power pyramid), but they are different beasts from the point of view of the elites.

    All this to say that a vote for a Democrat is not a vote for Fascism, though it’s also not a vote for Democracy or to actually be represented in any way in the power circles.

    It’s a sad, sad state of affairs in the US.
