    Oh, which one is taking us further away from fascism? Because I’m not seeing one that is. I see one that’s hurtling headlong toward fascism and another that is coasting towards it.

    I get that you want to pretend that the Democratic Party is making strides away from fascism, but they’re just fucking not.

        They could have protected Roe. They had opportunity to do so. They could have applied the brakes. They chose to coast.

        They could have passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and curtailed some of Republicans’ attempts at election fuckery. They could have applied the brakes. They chose to coast.

        Coulda codified Obergefell, nope. Coasted. Coulda raised the minimum wage. Coasted.

        Not to mention actually accelerating under power toward the same destination with Gaza and the border.

        I mean they’ve been ignoring their constituents and instead pandering to Republicans while supporting their pet country’s genocide even as it leads the Middle East closer to another large scale war. There’s only one answer at the end of the democrats’ right wing shift and that’s fascism.
