Policies always matter. Policies are what politicians actually DO, whether fascist, neoliberal, or progressive or whatever.
Saying that policies doesn't matter in politics is like saying food doesn't matter in survival.
Btw, not that it matters, but I'm not American.
Says the guy who just argued that policies are irrelevant to politics 🙄
I know full well what fascism is and means. I sincerely doubt that you do, though, since you don't seem to know what policies are.
Holy ridiculous strawman, Batman! Nobody said anything of the sort
Liberals don't prevent fascism, they enable it. They're the controlled opposition institutionalists who would rather let the people suffer and die than harm their precious institutions and owner donors in any way.
That's how it was in Mussolini's Italy, that's how it is now, and that's how it'll always be.
I have. I have also read a shitload about it. It doesn't sound like you have.
Fixed it for you. Gavin Newsom, Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer aren't saving anyone from fascism.
They and people like them not representing the will of the people and rigging primaries to make sure that very few who do can achieve power is as big of a part of why the fascists managed to take over as the fascists themselves are.
