And that’s a fair assessment as well. It is a scapegoat to say those folks don’t support other leftist policies.

However I must disagree that my conclusion was wild.

My train of thought is, people say they support making peoples lives better and implementing policies proven to work and be more cost effective.

When it comes time to ‘nut up’ and do it, their chosen representatives roll over and compromise and refuse to use the same governing tools used against them to stop the rise of fascism.

Republicans famously grind the country to a halt with a minority. It’s their whole shtick, and yet they sail through these fascist policies nationwide with no fighting back from the Feds.

Is it truly that like minded when the purpose of a system is what it does, and my fellow patriots choose the continued decline of society driven by capitalism?

This, I believe, is the source of this leftist’s anger. Open denial of genocide by party leaders, while capital interests make life shittier literally every day, and no way out between “shit choice” and “literal fascist”.

My stake is that democrats aren’t Nazis. They just dont mind them very much. In fact your political opponents being actual nazis improves your election chances.

There is no left wing in American politics.

No they are just complicit in the most obvious Genocide since 1940 while denying it is a Genocide.

Nothing Nazi to see here. The Nazis were bad because they called themselves socialists. Not the Genocide thing right?

Hey dude how does one fail to commit a genocide for 85 year while actively trying? With a massive power imbalance?

Fail? Israel has been Genociding very succesfully.
