“Democracy sustains capitalism. Capitalism thrives in a democracy. And, right now, we are dealing with, as I called him at my speech on the Ellipse, a tyrant,” she said, referencing her rally last year on the White House Ellipse in Washington. “We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. That’s what we’re dealing with right now in Donald Trump. And these titans of industry are not speaking up,”

    Harris continues to demonstrate that she is not only was too incompetent for the job, but also 1/3 of the reason we have a fascist administration. The other 2/3 belong to Biden and the DNC for the curious. I don’t think she’s too uneducated to know the difference between communism and fascism, i belive she’s intentionally conflating the two because at the end of the day, she’s still a right wing pig.

        Do you blame water for being wet, or a dog for licking its balls? Fasc gonna fasc, I’ll reserve my criticism for the folks I expected to actively work against it.

          The other side is also reserving their criticism for those people, so the net result is that the only people who aren’t receiving hate are the fascists.

        Bro, the first election I voted in was 2016. I only knew that I should vote for Hillary Clinton because she was the Democratic nominee. I wasn’t even aware that Bernie was done dirty by the DNC.

        There’s levels of corruption to politics in America, and part of that corruption is keeping people dumb. If they weren’t so dumb, they might develop class consciousness and vote for things that actually improve their material conditions!

        You don’t have to be a tankie to refute Democrats, and even moreso Republicans. Some people might call that being an Independent.

        Thanks for making that word more useless though.

        Not everyone who points out the Democrats lost the last election are tankies…

        They annoy me to, but also shut the fuck up if this is your only thought. Even if they were a tankie, which I don’t think they are because the criticized them for reasonable things we all saw, you should actually point out their errors so reasonable people see your comment and don’t trust them instead.
