The best way to fight fascism is with meaningful policy thay helps the working class. The best way to help it is proving that liberal democracy consists in getting to choose which party gets to enforce austerity this term

Without meaning this as a defense of Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine: go check .world mod history, every other deleted comment is "Russian troll" or "disinformation" or equivalents. If you defend a policy of censoring points of view more charitative to Russia than western narratives be open about it, it's fine, just be aware that you're actually doing it

ALL third-party candidates combined for less than 2% of total votes
So finally you admit it's not third party voters to blame for Trump?
Dingdingding, right answer here!
This doesn't seem to mirror my experiences, is the DNC actually pushing a position of not worrying about the situation?
Biden had immunity to do literally anything to prevent the rise of fascism. What he did: nothing.
Lol, if you want to try and move the goalposts from my "murdered Poles"
No, my claim is that you're equating deported with murdered when you quote said book talking about "hundreds of thousands of murders", not that murdered after deportation don't count.
Yet again you fail to provide an alternative to the military occupation of Eastern Poland by the Soviet Union. The only possible alternative was Nazi occupation. I'm not trying to justify Katyn, I'm saying that the invasion itself was justified and that's proven by the fact that you cannot even theoretically come up with a better alternative with 80 years of hindsight.
Imagine how we would look at the US if they had decided it was more profitable to just team up with the nazis instead
I don't have to imagine, the US not only teamed up with but propped up fascism all over the globe. I'm Spanish myself, the Franco dictatorship was legitimised by the USA for its entire existence, but I could bring up Suharto in Indonesia, Pinochet in Chile, or an endless list of fascists supported by the USA. Invading eastern Poland and preventing it from being invaded by Nazis isn't "teaming up with the Nazis", I'm sorry that you can't see beyond cold-war propaganda.
Yeah no, I'm not a military enjoyer in general, so idk what destroyer means or what's the origin, I meant it more as a wordplay. But thanks for the clarification!
The fact that she deserves it doesn't imply things will get better after her getting fired, it just implies she's a terrorist working for terrorists. Like, the name of the ship category you're commanding is "Destroyer"
I fucking wish US politics didn't affect the rest of the world and they didn't take up 99% of the discourse online, but sadly that's the state of affairs, go to a general purpose instance like lemm.ee or like reddthat.com, browse by all federated instances, and tell me how many of the posts are about US politics.
Ending conversations with people because they're not from your country, when your country projects its power and its politics outwards overwhelmingly, isn't productive
The fact that you even had to ask illustrates my point
There is more than one ongoing genocide, it's just that the one in Palestine is the one the US is most obviously funding and supporting, which makes it relevant to USian politics.
Finding out about genocide, and using as leverage in an election where the collapse of democracy is on the table are not even remotely similar.
Finding out about genocide and being able to tell your representatives that you won't vote them if they go on genociding people because that doesn't represent you, seems pretty coherent and moral to me.
suddenly you all cared so much that it was worth sacrificing your own country
I'm not USian btw, I'm not sacrificing my own country. Arguably the ones sacrificing the country are the ones putting only unelectable candidates who run a campaign of genocide against literal fascists. If the Trump administration was so patently fascist and the Democrats, with full presidential power (and immunity as proven by Trump), did nothing to stop them, the fault is every bit as much in the Democrat camp as in the Republican.
Refuse to act against fascists while in government -> run a campaign on genocide and the "most lethal armed forces in the world" with a non-electable candidate changed 3 months before the election -> lose elections to fascists -> blame the voters

How is Putin the biggest fascist threat for Europe? Fascism was literally born in Europe and exported elsewhere, we have Nazi and fascist parties getting consistent growth election after election in basically every EU country.
Believe it or not, Europe isn't at war with Russia, we should be struggling in favour of diplomacy to reduce both our and their military expenditure... which is hard to do when riding hard the NATO wave. Ffs Europe was building gas pipelines with Russia 3.2 years ago, we're really still capable of separating ourselves from fascist US, reduce military expenditure with fascist Russia, and take care of our own fascist problems.
