    So you’re doubling down on blaming democrats for conservative fascism?

    I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you simply forgot who it is that fascists actually serve.

    Want a hint? You need me to remind you which dems are proud capitalists?

      This “both sides” bullshit only flies until the one side starts actively pushing LITERAL fascist talking points.

        This “both sides”

        What “both sides?”

        How many Dem politicians did you see standing up for antifa when they were busy pushing the fash off the streets, Clyde?

        Did you notice Biden’s running mate? A proud memebr of the institution that was literally protecting fascists when they were marching in the streets?

        Again… what “both sides?”

            In order to use a “both sides” fallacy, Clyde, you first have to have two opposing sides. The “good cop, bad cop” routine that the US political establishment plays with you doesn’t mean there are two opposing sides here.

      Are you in America? Because right now, in America, wr have literally two choices: shitheel Hitler or old establishment.

      I would LOVE it if we had viable third party candidates or ranked choice shit. But we don’t. So yeah I’m going to throw all my weight behind the candidate who ISN’T parroting shitheel nationalist rhetoric.

      Your complaints against Biden are valid and worth discussing… but it’s stupid and irresponsible to suggest that pointing out the fascistic tendencies of conservatives is the fault of the democrats.

        Even from here it’s pretty easy to see that those are not two mutually exclusive things.

        I would LOVE it if we had viable third party candidates

        But you don’t, do you? Do you think it’s some coincidence or “Act Of God” that you don’t?

        So yeah I’m going to throw all my weight behind the candidate who ISN’T parroting shitheel nationalist rhetoric.

        If that makes you sleep better at night, be my guest. Hell, if I was a USian I’d probably do the same.

        Your complaints against Biden are valid and worth discussing…

        Biden is not the problem - it’s the political establishment people like him (and Trump plus the rest of them) represent. That’s the problem - and voting is not going to fix that.
