“Just let me avoid answering your question and… “ No. They’re demonstrably not the same, as evidenced by you inability to answer the question. Also basic common sense.
No, I don’t think Harris would have ICE roaming the streets.
But then I don’t see the point in differentiating between casual and overt fascism. Both are way to the right of me.
I’ll ask again…are you ok with casual fascism?
Hey look, ICE NOT OPENLY ROAMING THE STREETS LOOKING FOR BROWN PEOPLE TO KIDNAP MAKES AMERICA A DEMONSTRABLY BETTER PLACE TO LIVE. The point of this post is “the parties are indistinguishable”, a laughably juvenile viewpoint.
You just said “the parties are not distinguishable”. I’m not interested in arguing any further, you’ve already proven your intellectual dishonesty in pursuit of your point.
I’m not saying America would be a bastion of global compassion and understanding under Harris, just that it wouldn’t be anywhere near the Nazi sympathizing shithole it is now.
Believe it not, there can be 2 bad things where1 is infinitely worse than the other - like say having your arm surgically removed versus being pulled apart by wild horses. If you were given the deciding vote between the two, you wouldn’t huff and say they were the same, you would be frantically advocating for the surgical removal.
Both suck but there’s a clear difference, but people like you have been saying “those are the same thing!!” When they clearly aren’t.
What you all MEAN to be saying is “there’s demonstrable differences I don’t care about”, which would at least be intellectually honest.
Got you here.
What you imply is that the competent neoliberals would do it secretly.
And that's why the neoliberals are more dangerous.
What you’re reading there is a way to inject sentiment into my statement that is not there to generate a win for yourself.
Be better.
Also, if you want to be real pedantic about it (and you do you little pedant), a secret Gestapo is pedantically better than an “out in the open one” due to secrecy limiting their reach and power. Kind of a “do you want to be shot in the head or be tortured to death” kind of convo where both endings suck, but we both know which you’d choose.
You prefer the secret gestapo, so you can brunch during genocide
Fucking liberals
