    Ah yes the non Fascist Democrats sanctioning the ICC.

    Slightly more “moderate” Fascists are Fascists as well.

    Democrats are more right wing than 2016 Republicans right now. It’s time to abandon this myth that voting for them is somehow going to fix anything.

        Bro we’re just sanctioning the ICC for proscecuting war criminals. We’re abusing presidential powers to ship weapons used to commit Genocide and also abuse those power to bypass congress the same way Trump did. Just abusing presidential powers to implement illegal border policies. Bro stop nitpicking you only mentioned like 5 things you can’t even mention 6 things bro.

          Not a fan of Biden, but he’s not the one shipping the weapon’s. Congress approved that, he held it back for a little until Congress started working toward a bill to force him to ship them and he relented. Should have stuck to his guns, imho and let them pass the bill to overrule him so it’d look bad on Congress for doing it, but the sad thing is that he’d just look like he was in the way of what a large portion of the country apparently wants. The GOP is all about being on Israel’s side.

          The president doesn’t have as much power as people think he does.

      The time to fix that is before and during the primaries. When you’re in the booth with a choice between a Democrat and a Republican, the choice should be obvious

      You keep using the word fascist but I don’t think you understand what it means… The fact that this was voted on and the party was divided is proof that it isn’t fascism

        Hmm, it sounds like you don’t understand the term fascism.

          Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3]

          So you’ve got people from the same party voting differently, they aren’t getting suppressed, they’re often voting against what their president would favour… Man, sure sounds like fascism to me!

            Using the outcome of one vote as to substantiate a lack of fascism is akin to taking a glass of water from the ocean and affirming that the ocean is devoid of life.

        So you are saying that if I find votes the republicans are divided on you magically have a point? Why is the party not voting as a party to begin with? Does this mean that some Democrats are actually Republicans if it’s not convenient?

        We just went from a 2 party to a 1.5 party system in order to deny the Democrats are getting in line to pass this highly Fascist law to sanction the ICC for proscecuting war criminals.

        Tell me what was the point of voting Democrat instead of Republican again? To prevent literally this right?

          So you want the party to vote as a block no matter what? And you’re complaining about fascism? Do you realize how ridiculous that is?

            Okay so fascism is when the Republicans vote the same.

            Now I pull up this article and you say the Republicans are not fascists right?

            When it comes to Democrats doing the Fascist thing suddenly people slap on all these interesting requirements for it to be Fascism. When Trump did a Muslim ban it was super duper Fascism instantly. Selling weapons to Saudi for the Genocide of Yemenis? Omega Fascism! Biden uses the same powers to support GENOCIDE but suddenly it doesn’t count because the sun and the moon aren’t aligned in June and the grass on my lawn grows a little faster than usual.

              You were talking about the fascist Democrats, remember? It’s not requirements, it’s what fascism is, an authoritarian regime under the control of a single person.

                You were saying that republicans voting the same is what makes them Fascist.

                People were calling 2016 Trump a Fascist. Not that doesn’t count we’re going for the plan2025 meme where unlike 2016 this time the Republicans will actually do all their evil plans which they totally couldn’t do in 2016.

              You’re presenting a graph on how the house voted on grounding MTG’s attempt to oust Johnson as speaker.

              Present the graph on how the house voted regarding the ICC.
