    Voting is the bare minimum of civic engagement in America. There is nothing wrong with pointing out the flaws in the system, but one should be advocating and working towards a solution while doing so. Just letting the mask off fascists win isnt going to solve any of America’s probpems. Thanks for calling out defeatism for what it is!

      Why do you think elections are always so close? Why do you think republicans get to fight so dirty while democrats insist on playing by the rules? If you do not address the rotten core of the system, you will be letting the mask off fascists win sooner or later. If anything you’re promoting defeatism by insisting we play by the rules of a crooked system.

          That’s like asking how I would address achieving world peace. I talk about the injustices when I see them and do what I can when I see the opportunity.
