"The people stealing from Americans are not folks with tattoos and hoodies—it's people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins, sitting in this Capitol right now," said Rep. Maxwell Frost.

Do you feel innocent?
Yes. Because our 2 options were a fascist, and a Liberal. Liberals may suck, but they can be worked with, and reasoned with. Fascists don't have that perk.
- Liberals are just fascists with better PR. They absolutely cannot be reasoned with, as evidenced by the democrats being exactly as complicit in the genocide as the republicans. No reasoning has managed to convince that party that Palestine deserves to exist.
  Just admit what you really mean:
  "The democrats may be just as genocidal outside of our country, but at least they're not genociding inside our country like the republicans would".
  Or, put simply, "the democrats are evil in a way that doesn't impact me".
  
  Liberals are just fascists with better PR.
  Can you type more stupid clown comments so I can put them on my Wall of Stupid Clown Comments?
  democrats being exactly as complicit in the genocide as the republicans
  Weird. I remember Biden repeatedly expressing that he didn't like Netanyahu's tactics, then threatening to stop arms shipments and impose sanctions. I also remember Trump regularly fellating Netanyahu and saying he wants to kick Palestinians out to build a fucking resort.
  Herp derp, both duh same.
  but at least they’re not genociding inside our country like the republicans would”.
  Yeah, I would actually very much prefer a party that doesn't genocide in our own country. That sounds way preferential than genocide in our country.
  
  Of course it's preferable, but don't pretend like it's a good choice in any respect other than not literally being the worst
  
  You're not very smart, are you?
  
  Smart enough to not fall for such an obvious deflection, at any rate.
  
  Hard to "fall" for something that isn't there. You're just making the statement that Liberals=Fascists, when you're factually wrong. Please go to any Poli-sci course, and you will learn. Alternatively, you could just not comment when you're uninformed. Sorry to hear about your TBE.
  
  If you're gonna say anything other than "but but they're literally not the same, so therefore they can't be compared", get back to me. Go talk to some actual humans and learn how we speak, learn the nuance in language required to understand that "liberals are fascist" is not saying "the definition of liberalism is identical to that of fascists".
  Liberals support and prop up fascists, both materially by carrying their policies through without challenge, and also ideologically by giving a false vision of "The Left", while edging further and further right, limiting the horizon of what politics can be. If the "good guy" is barely different from the "bad guy", surely the bad guy can't really be that bad... right?
  They are both bourgeois parties serving the same corporate and imperial interests. Liberals are just smarter and like to throw in some welfare and pander to progressive causes so their outright villainy is less obvious.
  
  "Liberals are just fascists with better PR."
  You're delusional. You literally are saying yourself they are exactly the same. Go to lemmy.ml- they love dumbass tankie takes.
  
  Liberals and fascists share core beliefs and assumptions about scoeity, particularly the role of the state.
  The state exists only as a tool to oppress the working class, and must be demolished, along with its corporate overlords. Find a tankie that would say that, but after first getting fucked.
