      In terms of Republicans of last century? Sure. In terms of democrats? No not really. Obama, Biden, and Clinton are not fascists. They are just appeasers. Which is definitely not a good thing but very different.

          To be fair, as much as I’m not happy with Biden, much of the administrative work his office has been doing this term has been undoing the crap Trump pulled.

            kids in cages, building the wall, and producing more fossil fuels.

            shit some of the shit trump did was actually good, like pushing back against the war machine and letting Bidens prisoners out of jail.

              I’m confused by how you phrased this. Are you saying Biden put kids in cages, built a wall and produced more Fossil fuels, or trump did? Or are you saying those things were good, and that trump also did other good things like pushing against the war machine and releasing prisoners (which were Biden’s somehow?)

                  Ok so you are saying Biden did those first three things as well as Trump, but Trump did some stuff that was good.

                  Are you saying Biden didn’t do a single thing you said was good?

                  Also you’re ignoring the whole “raped a 13 year old girl” and “tried to stage a coup against a fair election done by American civilians” and “34 counts of felonies” that Trump has also done, besides making fun of disabled people, the military, actively trying to get people to attack minorities and LGBT people …

                  Sorry but it’s not really equivalent.

                    i don’t believe he tried to stage a coup. i’m an anarchist, and a prison abolitionist, so i don’t care what the carceral state has to say about his conduct. honestly there are enough bad things about trump without all the trumped up bullshit the media throws around: he’s a landlord, he’s a capitalist employer, he “donates to” (pays off) politicians, he spreads racist rhetoric, he advocates for the carceral state (without seeming to understand the irony)… i mean lots of bad shit. i’m not voting for him. i don’t think anyone should.

                    i also am not about to vote for a politician who has lauded apartheid israel, never run into a war he didn’t want to fund, and is probably as corrupt as any other politician who spent 50 years in dc.

                    does this make them equal? well, no, but i also don’t know how to go about quantifying which one is a bigger shitbag. i don’t think it’s even a good use of time.
