    I think it’s fairly obvious who the more fascist candidate is here. I think it says something that Trump is too fascist for Cheney.

    Also, shoving Stein’s words in her face doesn’t mean OP agrees with those words, just that Stein’s words are particularly problematic at the moment.

      Just my opinion, as an idiot with no marketable skills: I think the more fascist candidate is the one who attempted a coup on Jan 6.

      If I can figure it out, what’s other people’s excuse?

      Posting Stein’s tweet is a good burn, but not much more.

      Applying Stein’s logic to herself: what did she do to “earn” David Duke’s endorsement? That’s easy: she backed Palestine over Israel. Even if a racist happens to agree, that doesn’t make that stance wrong.

        Someone who isn’t fascist at all is less fascist than a fascist. This isn’t the gotcha you desperately want it to be.

          Someone who isn’t fascist at all

          Failed to win either major party’s nomination.

          This isn’t the gotcha you desperately want it to be.

          This isn’t a game of “gotcha”, its acknowledgement of US foreign and domestic policies. The current obsession with rounding up migrants, arming and invading sovereign nations and massacring their inhabitants, and suppressing internal dissent via police raids and congressionally-backed intimidation of college administrations is championed by both heads of the major parties.

            You failed to win the nomination, so by your logic you’re a fascist. I can’t make sense of this.

            And I thought we were talking about the two people who did win the nomination of their major party.

            This isn’t a game of “gotcha"

            You were clearly trying to pretend you caught them admitting Harris is a fascist. You can’t play gotcha and then claim you aren’t playing gotcha.

        Hey, did you know that 100% fascist is more fascist than 0% fascist?

        Please stop twisting words just to be annoying.

        Identifying which of the two war criminal fascist candidates for president is the better one to vote for is a good skill we should all learn because it will keep coming up in all future elections, as long as that US funded AIPAC money train keeps running on time, funding both parties.
