I think there are separate issues. There is the idea of uniting people to oppose Fascism. Uniting people to oppose Fascism, means separating from people supporting/aiding fascism, i.e. Democrats. The separation is ideological and tactical. Then there is the idea of putting someone in a position within the current government to make beneficial changes toward that goal. For that, I have thought that it is probably better to vote for a Democrat who has a chance of winning, than someone less corrupt who won't win.
However, I am having doubts. After the Kerry fiasco, his big FU to all of us, and with the current situation, I might by physically unable to vote for an Imperialist Democrat for President, due to projectile vomiting.
I think there is a need for a new anti-fascist group, like a liberal version of moveon.org. But, not so much a new political party for the purpose of promoting someone to a position that, by definition, requires fitting into an existing corrupt system.
