    Participating in democracy doesn’t lead to fascism, capitalism does.

    Democrats are Capitalists. The entire rest of your rant doesn’t follow from the first sentence.

      democracy, the act of people voting for one outcome over another. is not inherently linked to any monetary system.

      if i vote to grow potatoes in my garden lot, and others in my group vote for tomatoes, and they win, so we grow tomatoes, thats democracy. what we want to do with the crop afterwards, and why, is what links it to another system.

      democracy by itself is not capitalist. its just used in capitalist systems, and various others.

        It’s obvious from context that by “Democrats” I meant the Democratic Party. The post I replied to was ranting about how protest voters who refused to vote for Kamala are to blame for fascism.
