Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, a sign of the president’s strength in uniting his party to have the backing of one of its most liberal members

    Trump has all of Bidens issues AND he’s a fascist idiot. Trying to say he’s in any way better than Biden just shows either how uninformed you are in American politics, or you think people like Trump are attractive candidates. If it’s the latter you may want to take a look at the type of people who, in your own words, are making your country a “political shithole”.

      Thank you! The “evil” in quotes is what did it for me. We don’t need the quotes. Trump and their side right now has no redeeming qualities and shouldn’t be in charge of an airport Starbucks. This isn’t a choice between slight differences in policy, this is “do you want to vote for nazis, or no?” Oh, I know about Godwin’s law, how boutcha google that and see how he feels about it.

      It took me a second to figure out why you called Biden a fascist but I came to the realization it’s because that Biden wanted to relieve student debt which is considered a socialist policy and that for is considered an extension of fascism. But that’s not the problem that most people have with fascism coupled with the fact one can be a socialist without being actually fascist. The aspect everybody is more concerned about is the totalitarian side that tends to be with a true fascist. The water is easily muddied by terms.

        I believe if you reread the comment he’s actually saying that Trump is the fascist. That might be why it took you a second to figure out what he was saying

          Yeah I got busy today just reread it and misunderstood it. I thought that the original commenter was saying that Trump and Biden were both fascists. I was a little upset with that comment because Fox and other medias were pushing that Biden was a fascist because socialism is the most important aspect of fascism. Which I do not agree with.

        Fascism is a political ideology, not an economic structure. I also don’t know how you could miss read a comment that badly, maybe you did maybe you didn’t. Either way your comment is just really poorly thought out and written. Please try and contribute something more useful to the conversation. It was nice to not worry about people trying to stir shit up like they do on reddit, however briefly it lasted.

      I am not even remotely saying that, and I wasn’t even refering to a specific Republican candidate (least of all Trump given the latest events). Personally, I preffered Biden’s policies last election, however this is not at all relevant to the point I was making.

      Failing to see Biden shortcomings over Trump (or any other candidate) and vice versa is just a reflection of how black and white your view of politics is. Keep in mind that half of your country voted for the oposite candidate of your liking, and labeling them all as fascists is hurting you the most.

      I am looking at my country as well, it’s not like it’s an exclusive thing you can have an opinion on. Keep in mind that the current people on position in my country are actually appointed by the American democracy police, so what happens on your side of the pond has some impact on my end as well.
