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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Isn't that what half of Lemmy has been screeching for? Basically "Save us from their fascism by instituting my flavor of fascism?"
So far, so good. He's made a few good points that I've tried pointing out before. Reading on....
Ok, now WTF? The author expects an apology from the democratic party for simply abiding by tradition that the sitting president is the nominee? The whole point he's trying to make in this article is that the norms need to be respected. Yeah, this went off the rails quick.
Then he goes on to list ~~all~~ a good handful of the ways Trump abused power and tried to overthrow the government before finally wrapping up with a "What about Hunter Biden?!"
In conclusion, the author made a few good points in the beginning, contradicted himself halfway through, and wrapped up with a whatabout.
Score:
No. That's just stupid. Not even a totalitarian on the left (which is fundamentally contradictive) could be considered a fascist. It's inherently a far right wing ideology. This is nonsense no matter what petty little grievances you think you have. And i say they as someone who thinks the online leftist spaces often trend towards being smothering.
