The funny thing is, there's more of a symbiotic relationship between us and plants.

Those plants that exhibited favorable traits for human consumption were carried far from their native ecosystem and through biome barriers they couldn't have otherwise. In the same way peppers with capsaicin (which allowed birds/reptiles to eat and spread them around while deterring mammals that would otherwise ruin the seed) became more successful, wheat, corn and other grasses became more successful when the kernels got bigger because it encouraged humans to harvest those and maybe keep some for later/spread them around.

Plants may not have any agency but the fact is some of them evolved traits that made this upright monkey eventually toil away to guarantee their reproduction year after year.

Lmao. Don't lecture me on what Donald Trump is gonna do to the rest of the world when it's been both parties robbing us in the global south. Many of Trump's most atrocious policies have just been happily accepted as the new normal by democrats. That's their function, one does the dirty work, the other pretends it has to stay this way now.

Any metric that doesn't include Joe Biden – the guy directly responsible for the mass incarceration of PoC via the 90s crime bill, a segregation advocate, a guy who has increased the number of children in cages in migrant camps, who keeps shipping weapons to a state in the middle of a completely broadcasted genocide – as a fascist, is a worthless, arbitrary metric.

You're telling me Bush, who greatly enhanced the ability of the NSA to spy on every single citizen in America, who had a torture camp in Guantanamo where they knew they were torturing innocent people, who had black sites in abu ghraib, who gave finance capital carte blanche to rob people with predatory mortgages and securities built on air, that guy isn't a fascist?

All this tells me is that the US has a far greater tolerance for fascism than anywhere else in the world as long as you don't use the word, and provided the fascists aren't targeting them specifically.

Everyone I don't like is a Russian asset, the Democrat's guide to political discussion

Is this the democracy Trump is threatening? One where you're berated for not doing the duty of voting for a candidate you hate and next time they'll get an even worse one? Where voting for the candidate you actually want is treated as sabotage?

The GOP gives their base the candidate they want, if the democrats don't, thats their own goddamn problem and those who vote blue no matter who should think about the responsibility they bear in making their own party the fascist lite option.

No more children in cag- uhh I mean no more war in the middle- ah fuck surely no more fracking at least??

It's very convenient measuring ideological abstracts rather than the objective number of votes those parties got.

Vote for the candidate that aligns to your politics. If genocide and climate disaster is compatible with those, stick to the GOP or the Democrats.

The GOP and the democrats are two arms of the same corporate party. Fuck them.

You do understand that this is exactly what the democrats and the GOP want? Most importantly, what the people funding both parties want. If you'll vote for an unelected enabler of genocide just to keep another guy out you're showing them morals don't come into the equation for your vote.

What's stopping them from running a charismatic fascist vs an unlikable one?

Stop blaming voters for the democratic party repeatedly choosing the most conservative candidate and pretending they did it for "electability", only to end up in tight races.

There's always a literal fascist running, that's what the GOP is there for. Lately, there's two.

The CIA's war on terror. What's next, an MMA fundraiser against CTE?

Thatcher got lucky way too much, let's hope Netanyahu doesn't
