Democrats really need to tone down the rhetoric. It makes people think Trump wants violence and to end democracy
(this was sarcasm brought to you by right wing media and Vance parroting this talking point, then dumbfuck rest of media picking it up as news)
Have you not heard Trump? He is literally keeps saying he wants violence and to end democracy. If anything Harris should be ramping it up, why would they not say hea a threat to democracy when he literally wants to be a dictator and arrest his opponents etc.
Also Trump and Vance have intensified the violence and extreme language against the democrats - claiming the same things that are supposedly endangering the GOP so its ridiculous to claim the democrats are at fault here.
I'm pretty sure Boss is being sarcastic.
Yeah sorry, I got that now
No worries, my dude. It can be hard to tell online.
How can you blame Democrats for Trump's words?
Either a very poor attempt to avoid Poe's law, or they're truly lost on how words work.
My brother in Darwin, You are the enemy within.
Take your retarded comments back to ML
i have no idea what about this comment is objectionable to you, but whatever it is this is most certainly not the way to object to it.
Hey friend, on this instance we avoid the use of that term. Cheers!
You still use that word? How embarrassing for you.
As a convicted felon and stochastic terrorist, the old rapist should be sitting in a cell awaiting sentencing.
It's so maddening to me that part of Biden's pitch four years ago was how electing him would mean a blow against fascism.
Yet here we are.
It staved off fascism for 4 years.
Not if you're a woman, a queer person, a member of the working class or poor, need health care, need higher education, or don't want to be governed by people who use your tax money to help kill Palestinian kids, among other things.
But sure.
It wasn't Trump doing those things, so I agree that it's okay.
You're shifting goalposts again. He claimed to be a blow against fascism because his opponent was Trump. So either you're making the claim that Trump is less fascist, specifically on these issues, or you're shifting the goalposts from your original statement which was a direct reply to someone airing their grievances about Trump who is unequivocally worse for minorities than Biden was or that Harris will be.
We've warned you repeatedly about interacting with bad faith in Politics. If you want to talk about the ever-present and upsetting ways that minorities are treated, the need for better protections and quality of life for the working class, the need for better health care, higher education, and an anti-war message, you are more than welcome to spread that message. But you can't do it in a way where you're attacking people who are attacking Trump because you are upset about the democratic party. You're implying that they don't hold these values because you're upset, and it just upsets others.
I'm giving you a 7 day site-wide timeout, and if you come back to politics and continue to instigate with others in a way that's accusatory, treats their statements with bad faith, or otherwise is not nice behavior we're going to remove you from politics.
Oh. Well I guess convicted felon, rapist and insurrectionist trump is the solution after all. You trumpers are ridiculous.
Trump not remaining in office is indeed a blow against fascism.
Not sure how he could command the military out of office, he seems delusional enough to think this is possible... either way the intent is scary enough.
I hope everyone on the sane side of things are preparing for this kind of crap
"They" obviously plan to disrupt the election. "The enemy within" needs to be stopped by force, and we need to ensure that a peaceful transition of power isn't stopped by "them."*
- don't ask me who "they" are - nobody I asked could give a solid answer
