There are no "middle ground right-leaning" people. They either support fascism or they don't. Right-leaning is fascism now, PERIOD. If it werent then fascism would have never taken power.

What, are you gonna Susan Collins everyone now? Did the orange guy "finally learn his lesson" and now we can enact his policies with a clear conscience?

Untio fascism is eradicated and all corporate power removed from government, we DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS.

Even for the US this is insanely out of touch. But it is kind of sad that one of the main reddit alternatives is even more US-centric than reddit.

Biden? Biden is middle ground right leaning.

It's wild how many Dems are trying to tell us that he's the most radically progressive President in modern history while we have so much footage of him in the Senate espousing radical fascist views on social policy

Disagree entirely with that. There's propaganda on all sides and there's things that we're all fucked up on. Hate to do the both sides things but I think its realistic that both sides are being driven to extremes and we should fight that and recognize

Imagine being braindead to the point of thinking "people should have as many rights as possible" and "people I dislike should die" are in some way similar. That's why rightwingers don't belong in society.

Do you know what a representative is

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Missed that word, sorry. But I'm sure some politician somewhere is pushing exactly that.

Okay good, as long as you're sure.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

Oh I feel much better now that you can't name one.

By comparison, can you name any representatives who are pushing radical fascist extremes?

If by left you mean tankies, which are just fascists posing as leftists, then violence against liberals or anyone who doesn't subscribe to their ccp/russia/nk bs...

Do any of you know what a representative is?
