      vote for Mussolini as harm reduction then take up arms against him

      ???

      I suppose what this person means is that you can vote for a right-wing candidate and then pressure him to do things that might be considered left-wing or something like that. But the problem is that Democratic voters aren’t going to do that, except for a few groups of people. Most Democratic politicians win elections simply because they are not Republicans, and as such, when they are elected to office, they do nothing useful.

          America has a hilarious electoral system, and I mean in how the election process is handled in this case. Canada is really funny as well where elections come out of absolutely no where and you’re not sure whether it’s municipal, provincial or federal for most of it, the while thing last two weeks or so and whatever building in your district that the most old people gather at normally is where you go to vote, you only fill one ballot per election and it takes like 5 seconds.
