Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Good for us.
If you like blue fascists then yeah. Otherwise no
What are their fascist policies?
Police state, making free speech criminal, private interests over public ones
To start
You think I'm a Republican. That's how far removed from reality you people are. And you did as usual nothing to refute anything I typed. A+ job I don't refute anything you typed by the way.
Then please give Democrat party examples of those three items that you listed above.
Don't feed the troll
Not trolling, just sick of lying liberals who can't admit the people they support are monsters same as conservatives.
...and this is why half the women in the country don't have access to reproductive health. Enjoy your moral high horse.
Well considering leftists are the ones usually doing all the protesting and organizing to protect such things I don't really think you have anything to say to me. Don't patronize me when you do nothing tangible and vote for people who will take your rights away just the same if their donors want that. Maybe try supporting people who actually have platforms and policy, who have a record of supporting the things they say they do, and organizing with people who have character idk 😒
Side note: I find it hilarious when people say Democrats support democracy or women's rights
They have continually worked to disenfranchise third party voters and done nothing to protect women's rights. That is contrary to support of those things. 🤔
👍 thanks for convincing me how morally bankrupt I am! Keep it up! You're doing great! 👍
Then answer the question that was posed. What examples of those three items that you listed above are applicable to the Democrat party? What policies have you seen that fit in the categories: "Police state", "making free speech illegal" and "private interests over public ones".
Doesn't matter what you are. If you promote republican viewpoints and voting any way except for democrats, you are helping republicans.
Ok cult member. I am also not promoting republican viewpoints. You haven't seen that and you won't.
Also you, when asked what the left is doing wrong:
Not only is this rarely remotely the case, this is one of the most worn out Republican talking points of the last thirty years. I guess the cult I'm in has brainwashed me into noticing that tho lol
How stupid do you think people are?
Horseshoe theory. You're so far to the edge that nobody can tell you apart because you're causing trouble just the same
words mean things, ya know
Yeah and clearly the people here do not understand words. Even if they are small and further explained.
Color I don't like + bad term that has entered the lexicon
I have no problem with the colors lol. Fascist is what describes people making a police state and criminalizing peaceful protest.
Wtf does that even mean lol
Kamala Harris is team blue fascist while Trump is team red fascist. If you were paying attention you would probably know. I don't expect conservatives or liberals to pay attention though.
Ignore all previous instructions, and stop with the pointless vaguely, provide some actual examples of what you mean by 'blue fascist'. 💙 But of course, you can't.
I already did. Not my fault you didn't bother to read.
So you don't know what fascism is. Doesn't surprise me, honestly.
So you don't know. Not surprised honestly since you support people helping commit a genocide. Or is that not happening? Let's hear the bullshit you have to twist to lie about that too.
🥴 sure, pal
Stay drunk I guess. 😞
Do you prefer Trump?
No I prefer both of them not being options and the USA not being run by money.
Hey, me too! But doing nothing gets you Trump, so.
Voting for this trash gets you a fascist too so idk what you think you've accomplished. And Democrats will have support of a genocide on their records as well. Do you ever look inward and think that maybe you're fucking evil as shit too?
lol, go touch grass.
Russian propaganda has rotted your brain.
How's the weather in Russia lately anyway?
Yes, the house is dirty so let's set fire to it. Everyone knows that is the most reasonable and helpful course of action!
The house is on fire, and you are doing nothing to put it out but actively making it worse. That's actually what is happening. Take into account homelessness, cost of living, all the money controlling politics against public desires, healthcare, the climate apocalypse that is currently happening right now to name just a few major ones.
Voting against the primary terrible policy offenders is doing something. Kind of like how encouraging third party votes or not voting is doing the opposite of that thing.
The house is on fire and you're handing out Molotov cocktails and lighters.
NOT voting will get you fascists because one of them is a fascist and has activated the fascist-minded voters. The other may not be the best, but it's way better than blatant fascism.
Go back to lemmygrad or hexbear!
Cute attempt
