Do you know why they didn’t stop Hitler? Do you know why they handed him power even though he lost the election? Because most of the industrial class was behind Hitler as a way to crush the enormous upswell of socialist agitation in Germany at the time. Capitalism was in crisis. The establishment wanted Hitler. He was a thug to beat back the left. The votes of the people didn’t matter, only money mattered.
In America, the left is weak, and capitalism is all-powerful. They don’t need Hitler yet. Trump had four years to be Hitler and they didn’t let him. They were in charge, not him.
The second they want Hitler, we’ll have Hitler, no matter how we vote. That is what Germany teaches us.
Why would it be otherwise? The rich write our policies. The rich declare our wars. The rich crush our rights. The rich exploit and sicken us and they make sure the law lets them do it. You can’t vote them out. If the rich want to let Israel obliterate Palestine because Israel helps them control the oil-rich Middle East? That is what will happen. That is not on the ballot. If the rich want private healthcare? That is what will happen. You can’t vote on that. You can’t vote on any of this. You don’t have enough money.
It doesn’t matter how you vote, but there are other things you can do. Organize your workplace and community. Most of our rights were gained through strikes and other direct action. We didn’t vote in the 8 hour work week.
I’m saying it’s not that important who runs the government, because the rich, the MIC, and the oil industry are in charge regardless. The only way positive change happens is if a bunch of us band together and physically force it to happen. They already have the elections gamed out, we’ve been voting for the lesser evil since Nixon, since before Nixon, and look where that has brought us.
Frankly, if anyone wants violence, it should be you. If you truly believe we are headed toward a one-party dictatorship under Trump, and you oppose violence to stop that, I don’t know what to tell you. On the Fourth of July of all days. If you’re so certain that you’re willing to vote for a genocide, the worst thing you can possibly vote for, but violence against Trump is too far, I don’t know what to say.

Strikes?
You don’t vote against candidates, you vote for candidates.
