I agree with you on preferring the US sending support to Ukraine in the form of equipment and strategic guidance instead of troops at this stage. European countries have a different balance of considerations due to their proximity to Russia, and I trust them to make the right choice on the level of support to provide.

Who’s “we”? Sounds like a proportionate response to me.

Actually, a recent Pew Research Center report shows that 24% of Republicans (and Republican leaners) use the NYT for political news. That percentage goes up to 45% for Republicans aged 18-29.

The text comes from this table.

Here’s the post I think Rhaedas is referring to.

Thanks for the retraction. It was the honest thing to do.

No, Trump beat Clinton by 44,292 votes, and Stein received 49,941 votes.

By your standard, your posts here should be removed for misinformation because your numbers don’t include all of the election votes. Here are the final results of the 2016 elections by state, with citations. The numbers are consistent with the infographic.

I double checked the subtraction with the NYT numbers you linked to, and the numbers look correct to me. Which numbers are wrong?

Most people use “left” to refer to anti-capitalism, be it Socialism, Communism, Syndicalism, Anarchism, etc, and not to refer to Capitalism but with large safety nets.

Yikes, your Overton window is completely unbalanced if you think that “most people” exclude liberal progressives from the “left”. Look at any mainstream news channel or read any mainstream news website, and you’ll see that most people have a much more inclusive definition of left-wing politics, which encompasses center-left politics.

“I was not in my uniform, and at no point in my interaction with the staff did I identify myself as a member of the law enforcement community,” Sheriff Owens said. “At no point did I indicate my position, nor did I ask the responders to do anything that they would not, had not, or have not done for anyone else who makes a business dispute call.”

That’s disingenuous. The 911 operator, who works for the police department, obviously knows the name of the sheriff. Any police department flags calls from police officers, including non-emergency calls. The sheriff should have known better than to waste public resources to strongarm a business when he could have simply emailed a complaint to corporate.

Obviously, I am thinking for myself by rejecting your argument that fascism is “not hard right wing”. And you still haven’t provided any sources for your argument. It’s clear to me that fascism is both far-right and authoritarian, and being authoritarian doesn’t prevent fascism from being far-right.

You’re calling fascists “moderate right” and liberal democrats “far-right” because Nazis did some things that you agree with? What exactly did the Nazis do that makes you think fascism is more moderate on the left-right axis than liberal democracy? It looks like you’re either completely ignoring the social policies of fascism, or your understanding of the terms “moderate right” and “far-right” is way out of line with how most people understand them.

I’ll take Wikipedia over a Lemmy comment with no sources that is arguing that fascism is more moderate than it actually is. The Wikipedia articles I linked to are cited, and the citations look very credible to me.

(I’m fully aware of the two-axis political model you mentioned, which is why I distinguished libertarianism from right-wing politics even though libertarians in the U.S. tend to be right-wing.)

Fascism is the dictionary definition of far-right politics. You’d be hard pressed to name a similarly prominent political ideology that is even father to the right than fascism. Likewise, Leninism’s revolutionary ideals place the ideology in the far left, despite its implementations not achieving those ideals. An ideology being authoritarian doesn’t make it moderate on the left-right scale. Instead, the more authoritarian governments tend to be hard left/right instead of moderate left/right.

I have to disagree about right-wing ideology being about “liberty and freedom”. That’s the realm of libertarianism, not right-wing politics. Libertarians in the U.S. tend to be right-wing, but libertarianism and right-wing politics are distinct ideologies. Right-wing politics emphasize traditional values, nationalism, and hierarchial social structures.

Calling Leninism “moderate left” is like calling Project 2025 “moderate right”.

They’re nothing special. Look up “shredded memory foam pillow” on your favorite big retailer’s website and you’ll find a better deal, especially when you add the shipping fee.

What’s bogus is you trying to ignore Harris’s entire platform because it’s clearly superior to Trump’s platform. You’re hoping that people don’t compare the two platforms because anyone who is able to read can see that Harris has better policy positions across the board, including in abortion rights, LGBT rights, taxation, foreign policy, energy, and immigration.

In the debate, as I have shown in the parts that I quoted, Trump also claims that he “wouldn’t be outdone” and would “do it harder and meaner” on the topics that you are pretending to care about. That is what people are expected to do in a debate. Even then, Trump lied about immigrants eating cats and dogs, while Harris acknowledged Palestinians’ right to self-determination.

Not sure why you bother with Lemmy when your pro-Trump rhetoric is a better fit for Gab and Truth Social.
