    Small price to defeat fascism. Up-voted.

    But defeating fascism is so cringe. Don’t you know the LIBERALS are the ones pushing for that? /s

      Those darn LIBERALS! Shucks, what have they accomplished other than weekends, overtime, civil rights, child labor laws, and being the gateway for literally every legislative and constitutional change we take for granted!

        Lol. Those were socialists, not the libs. Liberals opposed that stuff.

          Please list the socialists in Congress who turned said ideas into law? I’ll wait.

          You confuse activism for legislating. Thank you for proving the point that, as stated, liberals were always the gateway for socialist ideas to become law.

            Lol. The congresspeople listened to the demands from mass movements to appease them, because that’s how progressive politics happen. No martyr of the haymarket massacre was in congress. Socialists and liberals are politically opposed to each other.

            Your stockholm syndrome for electoralism is embarrassing.

              Correction: Liberals in Congress listened to the people.

              There’s really no deflection you can use to squirm out of the fact that all leftist policy has gone through Congress under liberals, and by contrast conservatives would have largely ignored those activist calls while doubling-down on fascism if they could go unimpeded.

              That rings just as true today and for this very election. Or wait, do you believe conservatives have an equal odds of passing Universal Healthcare? lol.

              While we’re here, who ended pre-existing conditions?

                  You think that your blatant deflection just went unnoticed by me or any reasonable bystander viewing this conversation? Classic foreigner who knows not the first thing about our history or political dynamics. Thanks for revealing your hand.

                  Checkmate.

                    Oh, how I wish that was true.

                    Next thing is that you’re going to claim that the public of Sweden, England or the Netherlands should be thankful to the royal family, because some former crown gave in to demands for liberal democracy. Or that former english colonies should be thankful to England for no longer being under their control.

                    Politics is more than elephant vs. jackass. But enjoy your rainbow-flavoured boot.
