This isn't true. Both the Republicans and Democrats have had phases where they opposed the right wing. Lincoln was friends with Marx and FDR fought the Nazis. Also, it's extremely damaging to draw equivalence between a flawed ally and an enemy you share no common ground with.
REALLY? Is that how you would describe the fascist apartheid regime currently engaging in genocide and myriad other crimes against humanity on a daily basis? A flawed fucking ally?
You genocide-denying apologists are fucking wild! 🤦🤬
The democrats?
Not what I meant but yes, they are indeed participating by providing weapons and gaslighting people on behalf of the fascist apartheid regime.
You thought I was talking about the Israeli government? Let me be clear: the Israeli government aren't allies of the American left.
Entirely true. Unfortunately, the bar for what we can reasonably consider an "ally" is depressingly low.
Ah ok. Either way, the Dem leadership isn't an ally to the Left. They're the less odious of two adversaries.
FDR threw Japanese Americans in concentration camps. He didn't oppose fascism, he just didn't think Hitler was doing it right.
Concentration camps are bad, but that alone isn't fascism.
