It is a bit more complicated than that in the US. Besides donating money and pressuring elected officials (and not voting for Trump, obviously) what can I as an individual actually accomplish? Please enlighten me.

This is literally an opinion piece in a series "on the thinkers, upstarts and ideologues battling for control of the Democratic Party". The other installments have, unsurprisingly, offered varied perspectives. Also, the NYT has NEVER been a leftist paper so we should not expect anything different.

I don't need to be a professor to know that fascism has already arrived in the US... but sadly I don't have the money or the luxury to flee to another country.

Okay, a terrible attempt at a joke. But, Fetterman continues by saying, among other things, "I'm primarily concerned about the two million Pennsylvanians that depend on SNAP to feed themselves and their families". I'm not a fan of Fetterman, but you can't simply gloss over what else he said!

Fetterman continues by saying, "the $230 million should go to paying people's health insurance or other things. That's not a priority I would ever support". I'm not defending Fetterman, but your chosen snippets do not provide the full context. Do better.

No, it isn't irrelevant. You're suggesting that journalists should do better by not equating "democratic socialism" with "socialism". That's fine if you believe that socialism can't exist with democracy or is bad. We need to do a better job by not simply equating socialism with the Soviet model

Sure, these are just some examples of men's teams, but there IS a history of "FC" used in the US. Football or soccer, there is a history of both.
