@vansice @danirabbit Take this from a perspective that isn't biased by living in the US: dems are NOT an alternative, they purposefully exist as a "moderate" alternative to fascism in order to never allow an actual left-wing party to become an actual alternative
there's an obvious historical reason the US doesn't have a strong communist party, but there'll forever be a need for one, compared to the rest of the world all the US currently have as an option is fascism vs rainbow fascism
also, coming back to the example, a person can screw up and learn from their mistakes, but we should never let them see the consequences from their mistakes when these consequences are mass deportation, generalized attacks to LGBTQ+ rights and other blatant neonazi policies
