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?

Are you agreeing in a contrary fashion? I am not sure what point you’re trying to make with your sarcasm. Seems like friendlyfire.

They’re not the one actively doing the genocide themselves. They have actual nazis to do the dirty work for them and thats useful to maintain in power.

Actual Nazis are a minority. People who don't mind using nazis to accomplish all kinds of vile deeds are plenty.

If anything i think that makes them worse then actuals nazis because the nazis i know irl at least have some excuse of being to simple minded to understand they are getting played by politics.

With there is no left wing politics in America i mean i consider democrats are right wing. Bidden is authoritarian right winger and hes cool with weaponizing nazis.

And yet the alternative… still worse… insanse planet.

Oh no I heavily disagree. Joe Biden plays the crucial role making israel's Genocide possible. Without Netanyahu israel could continue the Genocide. Without Joe Biden they could not. He is in my book a straight up Nazi.

In fact Joe Biden himself has something to say.

'I am a Zionist': How Joe Biden's lifelong bond with Israel shapes war policy

When Joe Biden met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet during his visit to Israel, the U.S. president assured them: "I don't believe you have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist."

Ok yeah that quote is fascist what the actual fuck.

The thing is. I have been talking here on very left and progressive Lemmy (at least a few months ago) about the Democrats are clearly right wing. And not at all center and not at all trying to be progressive (besides some tokens for the mass) and people, progressives that should be allies have been responding with so much hate because they are assuming i am saying “both sides are just as bad, theres no point voting D which must mean i want Trump to have his fantasy”

I cant imagine people being more acceptive to what you’re saying but you have my moral support.

Some people are trying to convince the left that Benito Mussolini is less evil than Adolf Hitler.

Which might be true. But at some point we're going to have to ask ourselves why the we don't just vote in someone that isn't a hard-core right winger.

And the only answer seems to be Democrats fearmongering each-other into never voting for another party. The Democratic party is Stockholm Syndrome.

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

[–] Linkerbaan -1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Fail? Israel has been Genociding very succesfully.
