    I think I need to clarify something that you may not be aware of.

    The individuals who label themselves as “democrats” in order to win political seats are not Democrats.

    Democratic positions are inherently anti fascist.

    However. There are many individuals whose agendas align with conservative and Republican views, who run as “democrats”.

    Word is , people are calling them corp Dems. Corrupt Dems. Or blue maga.

    All of these terms work.

    These wolves in sheep’s clothing are the primary reason that the Democratic party isn’t putting a stop to Trump’s illegal actions.its why so many Dems voted with trump on cabinet picks and budgets. Why so many never passed laws to protect vulnerable groups.

    They have lied about who they were.

    And they have gotten away with it for some time because people weren’t paying attention. I was such a person.

    But now we are.

    No more pac. No more aipac.

    Anyone siding with Israel is out.

    More people are paying attention and their charades are over.

      Capitalism, which Democrats support, is inherently fascist. It sounds like you support some level of reform which is a surefire path towards failure. Any threats to the current power structure within the party are eliminated before they become a threat to that power.

        I’m a Democrat and I don’t support capitalism.

        I think you are confusing what specifically defines party affiliation.

        The Democratic party is over half the country population.

        There are certainly a lot of individual opinions on economic systems but mostly Democrats push towards socialism.

        With socialism sometimes being defined as the transition stage between capitalism and true communism.

        Although some democrats definitely see socialism as the end goal.

        I myself see socialisms inevitable failure (socialism policies being undone) if capitalism is allowed to continue without the end goal of communism being continuously pursued.

        Every policy for the people will inevitably be undone when oligarchs challenge it. And they will.

        They are doing it right now with all the EPA, labor laws, and safety laws being removed (in the U.S).

          democrats have never pushed towards socialism, they constantly punch left to protect the right. They will defend fascism to protect their own self interests and privilege the status quo gives them. Claiming to be a dem and not support capitalism is like being an atheist christian

    America is essentially an autocracy when it comes to external affairs and two party state for domestic matters.

    Now I don’t think a Harris administration would have implemented tariffs. They may not have acted in Venezuela in a first term at least. If they did, it would have been a more traditional funding of anti government factions, work that up to some type of revolutionary movement and then coup. Not what we just had.

    Venezuela has been in US imperialistic crosshairs for over 20 years now.

        Harris/Biden at least talked about moderation. Trump gave the full green light to wipe out everyone in Gaza and build a trump beach resort ffs.
        They’re both owned by the billionaires, but the Dems at least try to moderate it - and some in their ranks are fighting for progressive policies.
        Whereas Trump has now totally fucked over the U.S. and the world. He’s breaking all established international laws; he’s fucking over allies and the environment. Democracy is essentially over in the U.S. now. So it’s game over. The billionaires and fascists have won. No, that’s not what would have happened in less than a year under Harris. You didn’t do everything you could have to stop trump, so you are responsible for what he does. I know that’s a hard pill to swallow, but trying to hide behind imperfect policies of Harris doesn’t cut it. Take responsibility for what you did. Reflect. Burn in hell.

          The only one not taking responsibility for their support of atrocities in this thread is you dude.

            If you helped trump get elected by not voting for Harris, you made things worse for the people of Gaza. The logic is ridiculously simple. Try harder.

              Actually our system is so broken that living in a solid blue state my vote literally doesn’t matter. I had the luxury of casting a protest vote for Claudia De la Cruz.

              Which isn’t even the point, you need to understand what ratchet theory is and why a party that does nothing to push back against the right is only an enabler. Fascism has been our trajectory for decades, and you’re still hung up on cheering what democrats say instead of what they do.
