They sent pipe bombs to Obama, Clinton, CNN, and a major Democratic donor. They marched through the streets chanting “Jews will not replace us.” They jailed and brutalized and outright killed Black protesters. They ran a woman down with a car for protesting their hateful rhetoric.
They threatened from the start to resort to violence if they didn’t get their way, and then got their way…and resorted to violence anyway. They are the purveyors of a body of politics that sees most of us as subhuman and undeserving of life, and actively works toward our destruction.
Remember that during this election.
This is not a matter of choosing the “lesser evil”. This is flawed politicians vs. actual fucking terrorists. This is human failings vs. inhumanity. This is not being progressive enough vs. silencing the opposition with violence.

Omg, this needs to stop. It IS a matter of lesser evils. Yes, everything you’ve said about the alt-right is true, they are violent and must be stopped… but you’ve conveniently glossed over the fact that, not only did Obama continue Bush’s wars, but he started/entered into yet-more (Syria, Libya, Yemen), bombing and killing thousands abroad (not to mention that he okayed extrajudicial assassinations). Where were the progressives then? I don’t mean this as a whataboutism, I just mean that we shouldn’t vote for any party that endorses or commits murder. So how about this:
You have to vote THIRD PARTY. Lives are on the fucking line here.
