You don't understand, their support of lesser fascism is necessary to avoid the greater fascism, so by opposing them you're actually supporting the greater fascism

Fuck the lesser of two evils. I choose good.
DEMS: You have to understand we need to eat the shit. If we dont eat the shit the other guy is going to smear it on your face and the faces of your children. So, you see, eating the shit is necessary so that we dont have to smear it over more people's faces.
Me: how the fuck are the only choices shit? Why dont we just not eat the shit and not have everyone horrified of us?
They've somehow managed to convince a stunningly large number of gullible people, that you need to eat shit to survive, or that its harm reduction or something..
Harm reduction is eating 15 pounds of shit, because the next guy will make you eat 16 pounds of shit. If you want a dental dam, you're unrealistic.
Because someone has to eat the shit
*the poors must eat the shit.
Trickle Down used be called "Horse and Sparrow Economics." As in the horses eat the grain, and sparrows peck their meals from the horseshit.

Not dividing the left, just consolidating the right
True. Sorry, your ideology lost so hard that half of it was Trump's 1st term policy. Concede to the left for once in your god damn lives or suffer liberals.

They'll choose suffering. They love Trump, its why they didn't arrest him. He doesn't hurt the bottom line, just the poors, browns, and queers.
When a casual acquaintance asks my political leaning, I say Democrat to keep things simple. But, really, I'm a Bernie guy. I don't want to talk politics, and trying to explain that Democrats are actually center-right is just too much effort to put into... well, just about everyone nowadays.
Why don't you just say progressive then seems to sum it up
Okay, but Sanders isn’t on the left, either, despite calling himself a socialist. Sanders will say that It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism, and he’ll complain about “crony” capitalism and “über” capitalism, but as a liberal he’ll never question capitalism as such. He’ll never question private ownership of the means of production.
Socialism != Communism though
It's okay to say you're a socialist but too not like communism.
I for one really like socialist policies like national healthcare which I get in the UK etc. But I don't think full communism is the way to go for a modern society. Plus the track record of every time a country tries to head towards full communism, the door is left wide open for a dictator, and someone takes it.
Uk is monarchist, not socialist

Because he's a politician and he understands that his rhetoric has to ramp up slowly to convince his audience. Go to your local pub/bar and say that to someone that isn't a terminally online ML, see how they react.
