By this analogy, where does Biden, the American Paul von Hindenburg, land? Like obviously it’s worse to actually abolish democracy, but surely working with those doing it and doing nothing to stop them is also evil?
E: As a disclaimer about my political views, I believe that Trump and every other US president should be executed for crimes against humanity.
If it’s about domestic damage, then every president who owned slaves or supported segregation still beats him.
E: Also every president who was involved in the genocide of the indigenous peoples of America to an extent more than Trump (IE he probably ties Biden and Obama on this).
They’re low risk unless you ingest them, because then they’re hitting internal organs directly.
While it’s good to hear him say it now, I’m very annoyed that he didn’t attempt to hold Dem feet to the fire while they were in an election, and could have potentially extracted concessions. AFAIK he’s also still not calling the Palestinian genocide a genocide.
This is not to take away from the message that the democratic party must be destroyed and replaced with a working class (IE: Communist) party, which is correct, but merely to point out that Bernie himself cannot be trusted to lead it.
Dem supporters have been holding their noses for 50+ years and voting for the “lesser evil”. If that has brought us to this election, where your choice is between “genocide” and “genocide +”, isn’t it obvious that voting for the “lesser evil” just inevitably trends towards the greater evil over time? It is not a successful strategy at mitigating harm.
Trans people, LGBT people
Harris just said “I believe we should follow the law” when asked whether trans people should have access to gender-affirming care. This is leaving it to the states, which is essentially banning the existence of trans people in large segments of the country. She does not care about trans people or LGBT people as a whole.
Abortion rights
Roe was overturned under Biden, and Harris has not said she would stack the court or similar. She has said she would sign into law a bill passed by congress to restore reproductive freedom nationwide, but the dems almost certainly will not control the senate with a filibuster-proof majority, and even if they did they’d find some designated bad-guy who would turn coat to stop it (see: Joe Lieberman, Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema). Harris will not do anything to protect abortion rights.
Ukraine
Which will lead to more Ukrainian deaths: the war coming to an end because US aid ceases, or a meatgrinder continuing for years which the Ukrainians have no chance of winning anyway? Which is more important: lines on a map, or actual human lives?
Black Lives Matter
Harris was a prosecutor. She’s a fucking cop. She’s VP of Joe “We have to fund the police!” Biden. She wants to build Trump’s border wall. Harris does not care about black people.
Palestine
Harris fully supports the Israeli genocide of Palestinians. Her VP, Walz, has said that Israeli expansion (IE Greater Israel) is key to US interests. They may actually be to the right of Trump on this issue just because Trump doesn’t have any actual political beliefs other than “make Trump richer”, while Harris and the dems are rabid zionists.
He’d be allowed to do them, but his views are much closer to those of the republicans (opposing abortion, pro-racism, genocidally zionist, etc) than to a typical voter so he’d never want to. And that was before his brain started leaking out his ears.
Wouldn’t work. Just think about all the religious Trump supporters who think he’s a “good christian man” in spite of his many obvious unchristian qualities. Their religion is downstream from their bigoted political views, and they don’t care one bit about being called out as hypocrites.
On top of that, the media those types would consume would only ever use it to show dems in a negative light. You have to dismantle that entire media apparatus first, which means mass arrests, targeted assassinations, political purges, and, the biggest issue for the dems, not respecting the private property of fascist billionaires.
It needs your bones more than you do
I did this at my work and got a little dongle that displays a string of numbers I have to enter when prompted.
The US government does subsidize EVs (it’s the only reason Tesla can exist, for instance), the problem is that all their subsidies just get used for stock buybacks. Why would a privately-owned company actually create more factories? That’s just not profitable.
The most rational system.
Just FYI I’m 90% sure the guy on the left is a republican. Like fuck Hillary and all but there have to be better sources lol.
To offer some context for the other responses: it is us vs them, where “us” is the working class and “them” is the capitalist class which controls society. However, this is also a clash of political ideologies, namely those that favor the working class (socialism/communism/anarchism) vs those that favor the capitalist class (liberalism/conservatism/fascism).
Well do you want 101% Hitler to do two genocides? 
Blowback, The Dollop, and occasionally Citations Needed but I’ve let that one accrue a huge backlog I may never get through.
If it’s any consolation, you can rest easy that the institutional investors would buy up everything so prices still wouldn’t collapse. The exceptions would be properties that are going to be unprofitable in the mid-term because they’ll be underwater due to climate change or something.
“Patriotic Socialist”, which should set off alarm bells for being awfully close to “National Socialist”. They’re doing the exact same thing the nazis did, attempting to use some bits of left-wing rhetoric to appeal to the working class while simultaneously espousing extreme right wing and anti-socialist political beliefs, in this case usually Trump’s. Some of them seem to be suspiciously well-funded for what you’d expect from tiny fringe political organizations.
Look, it’d be great to abolish the death penalty, the army, and the current version of the government in favor of something more equitable and humane. But that’s not the world we live in. Last year cops killed over 1000 people. In the america of today, under the laws that exist today, why should Trump not be killed?
Doesn’t treason carry the death penalty? If they seriously think he’s going to become a dictator and end democracy, he should be killed. The US government has had 0 problem doing it to leaders of other countries who did far less; why should Trump get special treatment? Just because he’s a rich white guy? Hell, they’ve even set precedent under Obama that it’s legal to drone strike US citizens on foreign soil for being terrorists. Get him next time he leaves the country.
Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will, AKA “Might as well try my best in case I’m wrong and we manage to pull it off”.
