Karl Marx said:
What that means in the American system is we vote against liberals in the primaries, and we vote for them against the fascists. America doesn't have ranked choice voting, but voting socialist in the primaries and left (out of the two candidates presented) in the generals is the closest approximation. This is the Karl Marx approved strategy, as you can see from his speech to the Communist League.
Now let's talk about this meme. It's fake news. There was no Alligator Auschwitz under the Democrats. Guantanamo Bay wasn't a concentration camp for immigrants under the Democrats. I submit that the Democrats are at least 1% better than the Republicans, and that this proves the meme is fake news. And if anyone replies to this comment and says well 1% isn't good enough, I'm going to accuse you of moving the goalposts, because this meme says colour is the only difference. The meme doesn't say 1% less people get run over by the trolley, and I think there are at least 1% fewer state caused deaths under the Democrats.
No, you vote in a way that gives you power. Voting blue no matter who loses power. See 2020.
