So it's cool for the DSA to tell people to not vote for kamla in 2020, effectively helping Trump win? Does that not also count as choosing fascism over a less socialist agenda?

    Did you think I wouldn't read that or something? Because that literally says that Kamala is the same as Trump.

    that literally says that Kamala is the same as Trump.

    It literally doesn't.

    It DOES, however, say something you'd do well to take to heart:

    The risk of a Trump presidency has grown because of her deliberate strategic choices. If Trump wins, the blame will lie squarely with Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party establishment.

    They weren't calling her out by lying about her being identical to the Mango Mussolini.

    They were calling her out for being bad at the job of defeating him due to shitting on everyone who's in any way anti-war or just morally opposed to genocide, as well as anyone with policy preferences to the Left of Reagan.

    No? It says “our members deserve better because the two front runner candidates chose these same few stances on these key areas”.

    If you read “these two are literally the same and you shouldn’t vote” then that’s pretty much on you.

    My original reply was in regards to the 2020 election and had nothing to do with the current DSA page. So I stand by my statement that during the last presidential election, The far left spent just as much time attacking liberals as they did the Republicans while the Republicans only attacked to the left. And anyone using Israel as an excuse to not endorse Kamala in 2024 cared more about virtue signaling than actually minimizing harm. Everyone on the left knew that a trump presidency would be far more dangerous by every metric then a Kamala presidency, and that's before you even take into account his ongoing attempts at interfering in elections.

    Its the dumbest trick the left fall for every time: criticise your own side and fight amongst yourselves.

    Someone will be along in a moment to tell us that protesting outside a democracy's campaign rally is the only way to reduce related casualties.

    Correct, and now that the midterms are here, it's time to start hating on the Democrats in toto. If we were to complete this harebrained analogy the far left punches right in order to protect the other end of the horseshoe.
