It doesn’t say “from the left”. It says “from both parties”. Biden is the fascist from the other party.

Democrats are in no way, shape, or form part of “the left”.

At bare minimum someone on the left would be completely opposed to capitalism. They might be a mutualist, communalist, anarcho-syndicalist, anarcho-communist, etc.

Democrats are Neo-liberals and support the status quo. Maybe not outright fascists like the Republicans, but they have more in common with Republicans than they do with anyone on the left and when push comes to shove they’re not going to oppose fascism, they’re just going to go along with it. “Scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds.”

Biden is in no way, shape, or form a fascist. Particularly in the context of a Trump ascendancy.

Yeah. I absolutely cannot square that circle either. This is a very, very thick supra-orbital brow take.

Can't possibly figure out why some people won't quibble on the mathematics of how much imperialism you can do and how much genocide you can enable if you still love democratic rights for the people that matter.

The best nation on Earth. The Ubermensches, if you will. As long as they have the vote, it will all work out.

But, hey, if you're going to have choose between two fascists, might as well pick the one you have to cut to find it, especially when he's the one that isn't openly crooked and understands that investing in infrastructure is how to empower a nation.

That is, after all, technically quite an improvement. You would actually be stupid to pick the worse choice of a forced dichotomy out of spite, or to forget that inaction is a choice.

But, no.

Why would anyone is this sub observe this reality?
