I mean... I'm not in the US but I always thought that you guys have a right wing and a far right wing party. I don't see any leftist party... so it makes sense that they would be more aligned with fascism than socialism in terms of ideology.

Its kind of the joke here

Parties don't control the politicians inside them the same way they might be able to in some other countries. So it's one fascist party and one big tent everything from left to right party

I love how the most basic social democratic(at best) policies in the US are framed as "socialism"

The idea of the "undeserving" getting anything provided to them gets a lot of people very angry here. And then those same people probably:

  • Call themselves good Christians.
  • Are beneficiaries of some sort of public welfare whether they realize it or not.

The US never recovered from the Red Scare and McCarthyism. I’d even argue that both of those things entrenched US society into propaganda even more.

Republicans are the hammer, Democrats are the anvil.

I'm sick of all these fascist plants pretending to be progressive while trying to convince us it's not worth bothering to vote Dem in the upcoming elections because they're all the same. They aren't, and you know they aren't you fucking Nazi.

The progressive movement is having its best year ever in the Democratic primaries and can continue to do so. We need to change the party, yes. But that's secondary to removing power from Trump.

Biden, Obama, and Clinton weren't true leftists. But they sure as shit weren't the dumpster fire we have now and we HAVE to neuter these fuckers in November.

Yeah I'm almost 100% positive at this point that Hakeem Jeffries is one such GOP plant (among others, he just stands out the most to me). He goes against everything the Democratic party cares about.

Only one threatens their class interests.

I wish we could stop pretending the US wasn't a fascist nation for a very long time now. It gets old seeing things like "fascist takeover" when it is just different factions within fascism duking it out.

Hmm...do I want a neofascists or more traditional fascist? That is the garbage options we have to vote for.

Democrats are owned by the same oligarchs that own the Republicans.

Love how the people in the comments are hyping up the "human rights" records of genocidal, pro police, we will outflank republicans to the right on the border democrats.
