On the contrary I’d argue it’s inevitable in the US, there is literally no adequate alternative. It’s either universal healthcare or things get exponentially worse forever. I don’t know how long it will take, but voters won’t tolerate that forever.

A core tenant of fascism is strong opposition to communism

I don’t think any political scientist worth their salt or academic would agree with that

China doesn’t claim to have achieved a communist society. Nor a socialist one. They claim to be working toward a market socialist society, and hope to achieve one by 2035.

If you actually cared about winning independents you should run candidates who independents prefer over Donald Trump 🤦‍♂️

Instead of running candidates we need to shame voters into holding their nose and voting for, what if we ran candidates people are excited & proud to support? Sorry that idea makes you furious.

The debate within the party has shifted to “Trump IS a fascist- should we violate norms to oppose him?” with the answer so far being “no”

You want to “expand” to your extremely narrow category of elusive never-Trump moderate Republican voter that doesn’t exist. You’d rather lose than expand the coalition outside of that extremely narrow category

With mentalities like yours, we deserve to lose tbh

I did vote for her dipshit. You’re an obnoxious troll who is not interested in actual solutions to anything. You are content smug posting on the internet all day. You love fascism because it lets you be a grandstander on the internet all day, which you prefer to forming coalitions with the left

what do we do about that though. People make this point over and over… ok, so what do we do to stop losing? Just make this same post over and over while continuing to lose? What about trying new ideas like running candidates that support policies that are popular with the base

Yall don’t even want to win, just make smug posts and finger-wag people to your left while you lose over and over again (because you hate the left more than MAGA)

If you’re not interested in expanding the base and winning back the people who left the party due to Kamala being a bad candidate, then YOU don’t want to defeat fascism

Yep. It’s extremely hard to imagine a candidate who wants to pull a Fetterman-style right wing pivot would lambast the Israel lobby and genocide in Gaza. Plus I’m seeing from people in Maine that Platner has been known in progressive activist circles for awhile

Damn had no idea. That’s like ‘08 Hillary campaign smearing Obama as a Muslim tier-stuff

What do you dislike about Sirota? Genuinely asking because I follow him and only ever see fairly mild takes and analysis. Didn’t realize he was controversial
