I don't blame those who didn't vote for Kamala for her stance on Israel, I get it. I'm just tired of people who didn't vote specifically against Trump then act really surprised that the Democrats are putting up an anemic defense of our rights, because in theory they should have expected it, given how they voted. Asking why Democrats aren't stopping fascism when you ostensibly did not support them because you felt they would not do enough to stop fascism should be readily apparent.
I am not using "you" here as in you, piefood, just as a general you
I get what your saying, and to some extent I agree. But I also don't think that they would be fighting fascism if they had more power. When they were the majority, they spent their time building up the systems that the fascists are using. They built up the surveillance state, immigration control, torture programs and the police/military powers. They should have spent their time dismantling it, but the Democratics have the mindset of "It's OK when the Blue Team does these things. Surely the Red Team won't use that against us!"
