    I’m going to assume you mean the democrats when you say “facism-light”

    Why do you think they are facism-light? (Asking this as a non-american, trying to understand different points of views)

      Because they aren’t far enough left for people like him. Even though they do WAAAAAY more for the everyday person than Republicans will ever do

      The biggest tell is how people who identify as left all hete Bidden.

      Theres a famous comment by nixons right hand on the war on drugs. They wanted to get rid of the

      “anti-war left”

      The same anti war left is currently involved in global protests against the genocide in Palestine. That phenomenon is not just the US, Its was not reported in any news i saw but i know off at least one more then a week long building getting occupied in a university in europe.

      The Bidden administration has very recently low key responded to these protest by changing the definition of antisemitism to interpret the state of Israel as a jewish collective. Therefor any critics of the state of Israel becomes a crime.

      Where are the laws they did they enact when nazis where marching the streets and cultists stormed a government building? Yes some are jailed after a long time, its similar to the pride flags. The occasional token bone to pretend to card.

      Theres the general the unwielding support for the genecide. Bombing civilian tents with us weapons did not cross any red lines to continue to provide so.

      Is it a coincidence that the victims are all muslim? As a lefty i preach tolerance. Also for the existence off dumb religions overseas that may not be so tolerant of my freedom in person.

      Also right leaning:

      • pro corporate, America is a capitalist country but business with the same right as people is the opposite of woke.

      • war on drugs still very much exists

      • still no social healthcare like basically every other western nation.

      I get its often not as simple as flick a switch to solve issues and many issues are systematically grown. But people have been yelling Bidden to use some of that presidential power and him doing it now to restrict asylum which is also a right leaning thing to do is a cherry on top of all the lies.

      People should still vote and the most left you can vote is D but i am really hopping that once the threat of Trump is gone there becomes some room to roast them in a national protest.

        Really? Your best evidence of Biden/democrats being fascist is that people on the left hate them?

          Facism-light. As in Right with authoritarian tendencies who are in bed with the corporations. The Democrats are not Nazis, there just don’t mind them.

          I am against assault of any kind, Our biggest concern should be fixing the damn ecosystems of our planet. Everything else is a distraction. The economy can be worth wadever people believe it is but its not worth nothing if we go extinct.

          Even in Europe some progressive parties are shifting to the right and social healthcare is getting eroded.

          I get that we can’t just all stop going to work cause i am still being a cog in the machine that destroys itself myself but holy fuck can we got someone good in charge?
