MODERATORS
This kind of adroit aloofness to reality is why Democrats struggle so hard.
The easiest to punch opponents they'll ever have, but they wont take a meaningful swing.
Come out and full throatedly say that voting Republican in 2024 is anti-Democratic and fascist. Fight while we've still got a chance.
It doesn't help that she's accusing everyone of being paid off by Putin or the Chinese. The last ones she accused were pro-ceasefire activists because she can't imagine anyone would organically come to the conclusion that bombing babies is bad.
She is herself full of Chinese influence
I read about Germany and the street fights against the Nazi party brownshirts and wonder how much further until we start doing the same with red hat wearing people...
What do you think 2016-2021 was? Just because you weren't out in the streets punching Nazis and confronting racism and fascism directly doesn't mean that others weren't.
I would say we're on the other side of that page.
Where I live protests are usually about strikes. Unfortunately a large reason is because this once blue state is now orange around the mouth.
Deplorables, right?
They're all domestic terrorists now.
Was she wrong about that? If anything, she was being generous by saying it was only half of his supporters.
No, not wrong at all. But the person was saying that democrats are stupid for not doing exactly what they did in '16
Im not a fan of Trump but where exactly is the evidence?

Sorry... you want evidence that the Republican party is anti-democratic and a fascist? Because that was what their champion made clear- him saying the last election was a fraud and him saying he wants to be a dictator "for one day" would be enough evidence for each.
The person you replied to said nothing about Russia. No matter whether or not Russia has anything to do with Trump, the Republican party is anti-democratic and fascist.
We won't have true democracy until there's just one Democrat name on the ballot.
