   The most terrifying thing about American politics is how persistent and well organized and funded the fascists are and how few of these qualities are shared by their nominal opponents.

     @gwynnion I don't understand why there's no appetite for *actually* fighting fascism.

     No direct action or even language is in play right now and it's incredibly disheartening to have the Democrats continuing to just play this like any other election.

     I see "Win or die trying!" and they see "Win or try again next time".

     The far right was beaten back in the UK and France by the center-left sticking to a simple message: "Do you want the country sold off for parts? Do you want to keep being robbed by the rich while essential services break down?"

     But in the US, Democrats are more concerned with saving Biden and his reputation than with providing a clear vision of what a second term would even be other than "not Trump."
