If you helped trump get elected, then you support nazis.
I think that's what they're saying, the democrats support nazis
Republicans are Nazis.
If Democrats had a majority in both chambers of Congress, or even just one, I guarantee you things wouldn't be as bad as they are now.
There's a critique to be made about spineless, milquetoast, neoliberal leadership in the Democratic party passively allowing the Republicans to do whatever they want, but equating that with the Republicans themselves and focusing to an inordinate degree on the failures of Democratic leadership is only helping Republicans who are the actual fascists in this situation.
You want change from within the Democratic Party? Good, get involved with the midterms. You just want to see the Democrats fail? Enjoy the authoritarian theocracy that Republicans implement, because you'll have the day you voted for.
Democrats are liberals who preserve the exploitative imperial system that leads to fascism. They are controlled opposition, existing to give us the illusion of choice. They will never give us meaningful change unless they are replaced by socialists. This is why Obama's ICE was raping women, why Biden helped commit genocide in gaza. Liberals and fascists are codependant
So what about when they had a majority, after the last phase of constantly attacking Palestine, did they cut funding down to W Bushes level then, or did they continue funding them at roughly the same level?
You're also forgetting that Democrats chose to not arrest Trump for known pedophilia, which likely would've caused enough infighting on the right to secure a win, but nah they just let him pass jail straight to Go.
Lol as if these people will the get the fuck offline
Remind me again, which party helped the Fascists finance ICE? and Which party was increasing the budget for ICE in the past ~20 years.
You apparently can't distinguish between "a trifecta majority party unanimously and actively imposing fascism" and "a minority party passively allowing the majority party to impose fascism by having a handful of members supporting the fascists" and it shows.
Go ahead and let the Republicans win more elections because you feel like the Democrats aren't doing enough to stop Republicans from being fascist.
And when Democrats can't do anything about it because they're neutered by their minority in every branch of government, keep blaming them for not doing enough to stop the atrocities the Republicans are actively committing.
Dumbass.
It's really funny that you're brushing off the one thing democrats had in their hands: blocking the budget. Yes, they are a slight minority, but to pass a budget the republicans don't have the needed majority.
Now of course you argue that it's a minority of democrats that collaborated, but I think it's pretty telling that all of them are not up for the next election, and I suspect that they were chosen to be the ones taking the fall by the party.
Also fun fact, I will not let anybody win or lose, because I am not a citizen of the US of A.
And finally, the fact that you're choosing to resort to ad hominem really shows who the real dumbass is.
Enjoy those downvotes.
Brother I don't care about down votes. If you can't handle the truth and prefer to slam me with down votes instead of returning arguments, feel free.
But know that it will not change how I think, and it will probably not change anything about what the status quo is.
All it does is making you look like a kid, because you behave like one
You don't have a monopoly on "truth," and I'm not going to waste my time arguing with someone who's so out of touch with reality. Maybe in a different era, but this is 2026.
I don't care if you change what you think, you can continue being confidently wrong. And when you help Republicans maintain their hold on power, you will be partially responsible.
Sure, tell me you think I'm a kid. What I think is childish is letting some ideological purism get in the way of political pragmatism.
There is an option in your settings so you don't see upvotes or downvotes.
None of these imaginary points matter.
(Lemmy is rad)
I like seeing upvotes and downvotes. It gives me a general idea of the common sentiments among other people viewing the post.
But it makes sense that someone from .ml would want to be sheltered from the kind of information that might tell them when people disagree with them
