Again, your only recourse is "Trump did it too" that's what I'm saying, jesus fucking christ. They're not staving off fascism, they're taking turns ramping it up in different places. When it comes to migrants and foreigners, their policies are the same; sometimes they change tactics or optics, but the end goal remains unchanged. You're hammering home the same point while saying it proves that democrats are much better. No they fucking ain't.

it was not due to a more hostile border policy, but rather an increase in the number of people actually showing up at the border in the first place.

So... it's okay because he was doing what Trump was doing, but a little less per migrant? There is, then, an acceptable rate of people in concentration camps, Trump was just a bit too loose with it.

I don't give a single shit if they're 10% worse for gringos, they're just as bad and in a lot of ways much worse for the rest of the world. It was Biden who pushed the doomsday clock closest to midnight than it'd been since the cuban missile crisis. It was Obama who ramped up the drone bombing campaign, it was Clinton who ordered Gaddafi killed, it was Biden who drafted the 90s crime bill that made the US the most incarcerated population in the entire world.

Matter of fact, whenever something got incredibly shitty for US citizens, you can flip a coin on whether it was Reagan who did it or Jim Crow Joe.

Biden approved more and more fracking projects and oil exctraction hit record rates. Just because NBC kept saying everything was okay now doesn't mean that it was, some of us were paying as much attention then as we did under Trump, unlike dems.

I can see that Biden held twice children at the border at one time than Trump at his highest. I can see that weapons and money to Israel skyrocketed under Biden. I can see that Obama alone prosecuted more whistleblowers than the US had prosecuted in its entire history.

If you only count it as fascism when it starts affecting white people half as much as it was affecting the rest of us then you can't be surprised we consider you just as much of a fascist as them.

Concentration camps have been a thing for most of the US' existence, have become super widespread in recent decades (as in, the children in cages) and they're completely bipartisan. At one point, there were twice as many children detained under Biden than at Trump's highest.

You might not have known it until now (doubtful) but if I know democrats, you're gonna handwave it away even though you no longer have that excuse. Democrats are no more than the left wing of fascism and so is anyone who treats these abuses as irrelevant distractions from the real issues, that is, the comforts of white people.

I get that these reductive analogies are enticing ways of digesting the world around you, but you really have to take the time to learn about political economies and their characteristics from actual experts if you want to talk about it in a way that makes any sort of sense.

This and your previous comment kind of read like a bunch of platitudinous concepts haphazardly thrown together from a lot of fiction and short-form content.

Still some would say they're beating around the Bush.

Are you 12? Otherwise you're way too old to be using five dollar phrases you don't know the meaning of after you've prattled off on a bunch of shit you clearly don't have even a YouTube infographics-level understanding of.

Don't believe your eyes, Putin has paid off your eyeballs and puppeteered all western media right up until 2020

If you want to judge the validity of an article by how sleek and pretty the website looks you can go back to reddit. Plenty of MSM slop straight from the state department.

unity with other Marxists. Unity with opportunists and ultras leads nowhere but the hole.
