Libs think there's a difference between the parties and the Republicans are fascist. Republicans don't see an actual difference which is where you're at. Leftists don't see a difference, but think both sides are fascists. I don't sit down with fascists, but you do you
You assume my entire political philosophy and views based on the fact I'm civil with people?
For the record, I'm in the UK and would vote Harris in the States.
Frankly, I think I nailed it. You're comfortable around fascists because you're supportive of fascists. Harris is a fascist, so is Trump. Without going into your comment history, I'm betting that you support the bombing of gaza. That you might understand that crime is a social construct, but also that criminals should be punished sometimes severely. It's OK that you think it's OK to sit down with a fascist. I'm of the opinion that it's OK to punch them.
Okay, you're clearly a terminally online person.
Only one of the two candidates is talking about turning the US into a dictatorship with them at the helm.
You're right. The supreme court has said that the president can't do anything illegally. What have the democrats done to reverse that? The democrats do the same things as republicans, but they're more palatable. There's a lot of people on the left that think Trump is the harm reduction candidate because people are upset when he does things.
So what you're saying is that in order to not be fascists, the Dems would have to pull out some actually fascist dictatorial tricks in order to reset things?
I'm sure you can imagine how well that would go.
I'm saying, they haven't even attempted to change things. They're complicit.
