    You’re incredibly naive if you think fascism just took hold in 2024 and not decades ago. The status quo was fascism too.

      Neo liberals have their head so far up their ass they don’t understand that a party that pretends to be the good guys while still enforcing a racially prejudiced war on drugs to bolster a militarized police state and send mostly poor brown people into modern concentration/forced slave labor camps is defacto fascist. The American democratic party in any other developed country is considered a center right party. Leftism (the true antithesis of fascism)in the usa is vehemently suppressed by the party cosplaying as leftists. When the citizens ask for fair wages fair housing fair anything resembling economic democracy they are shit on and told to go fuck themselves by both parties the dems just wave a pride flag and post #BLM while they do it because their expensive PR firm consultants tell them it looks good

      I know that, otherwise we wouldn’t be here today. But at the very fucking least, Americans could have refrained from giving the full reign to a fascist party.

      The voters are as much responsible as the Democrats, but for people like you, that’s fucking hard to grasp that it can be both.

      Keep doing mental gymnastics so that you can sleep at night because the US, and by proxy, the rest of the world, just got a lot worst a lot faster.

      It is a weird moment to take a stance against when an openly fascist candidate is the front runner for the US presidency. Riddle me this.

        You sound like the type of guy who gets bad review after bad review at their job and when they get passed up for a promotion, blames it on something like DEI.

        Absolutely nothing forced the DNC to take such a hard right stance this election after having previously lost using the same terrible strategy. They were more concerned with courting Republican voters and protecting Israel than preserving our democracy and now we’re paying the price for it.

        It is a weird moment to take a stance against

        I’ve held this stance since 2016, so keep reaching. It’s the DNC who’s continually pushed away their base election after election to the point that they’ve handed over control of the entire government to Republicans. If you want to talk about mental gymnastics, maybe you should start there. They’re supposed to be the opposition not controlled opposition.

          What are you babling on about? I get bad review at work because I am mad that the American populace put a fascist party in power?

          Go get bent.

          There is no mental gymnastics here. The DNC is dog shit, the RNC should be dismantled and tried for actively hurting the population as the fascist party they are.

          There wasn’t even a universe where voting Republican was sane, yet here we are with people like you not taking the responsibility of their actions.
