    if you sit at the table with fascists, and don’t care whether or not they get to power, you are fascist too.

      Democrats have always been fascist. Just look at their rhetoric about how “only they can save the country” (even though they’ve never done shit about shit even when they had a trifecta)

        Thanks to the two party system, that’s true, funnily enough. You Americans are so fucked.

        When have democrats said that? That’s literally what Trump says about himself, though.

          Biden is literally campaigning on that note.

            Biden claimed in the past election that he thought only he could beat trump, for some reason. Not sure i’ve seen that this season, but what he would mean is only he can save the country from Trump, which is very different than what’s implied here or the ridiculous bullshit that Trump says. Trump literally says “I alone can fix it”. You’re welcome to find me a place where Biden said something like that.
