Keep in mind that most of them (like OP) are right wing agitators trying to drive a wedge.

Right wing morons and shills can't exactly base their arguments on how much better Republicans are, so they come at it sideways with this bullshit.

Well, jokes on them because "the left" isn't made up of complete morons like they have in the MAGA movement. Despite neoliberal whining to the contrary, the left has been consistently the most reliable voting demographic the Democrats have, and that's despite the fact that the establishment shits on us at every opportunity.

Bring back? It never went away. The 13th amendment still explicitly allows slavery of prisoners, and that has been exploited to the fullest.

It didn't happen to FDR.

I was being over broad. The first red scare was after WW1 and was a prominent feature of Republican politics from that point onwards. If you look into the resistance to the new deal, it was the same red scare nonsense that McCarthy rode as a wave.

Did the Trump era start in 2016, or did he simply usurp a rising fascist current in American society? I personally think it's more of the latter than the former. Likewise with McCarthy, but it's fair that I was corrected.

Countries have no right to exist. They exist because they can. An apartheid ethnostate certainly has no right to exist or right to our support. If Israel has a right to exist, what about Palestine?

That's sure not what she's running on.

There is no candidate who can win this race that won't keep writing blank checks for Israel. If anything, Netanyahu wants Trump to win. He is enraged by even the minimal pushback he gets from the Biden administration.

I'm amazed that anyone is still buying the "moderate voters" bullshit. Just try to picture an actual human being who's politics have left them scratching their heads between Harris and Trump. "If only Harris would do a little more for corporations. Oh well, I guess I'll stick with the racist orange insurrectionist."

It's not about moderate voters. If anything it's about the median voter, but that's a very different animal. The median voter in this country is wacky as fuck with political opinions that are all over the place. The one thing they almost all have in common is that they hate establishment politicians from both parties. Harris is trying to get their votes by being even more establishment, and it's going to be a disaster.

The one hope we have is the end of RvW. If that's woken up enough women voters, then we still can win. Republicans may have screwed themselves so badly that even establishment Democrats can beat them. Let's hope.
