Fundamentally Trump would not have gotten anywhere without decades of milqtoast ineffective liberals and corrupt milquetoast politicans, the Democrats are at direct fault for this. They built the conditions where people demanded something new and they gave them more of the same. They fought the left viciously while giving up the fight against fascism.
People dont hold the Republicans to any real standard because we all agree they’re just cartoonishly evil. Democrats can be critiqued because they have an actural ideology that can be pinned down (which I very strongly disagree with). Republicans meanwhile don’t really belive in anything of substance, they sorta just hate people and blindly eat up corporate propaganda (hell they call themselves conservatives yet their definition of conservative values are basically defined exclusively as whatever the hell Reagan did)
Better is a strange choice of words here, better compared to what? Better compared to Republicans? Better compared to the Social Democratic parties of Canada and Europe? Or better compared to a real workers party? Because so far it seems like you have done nothing but attempt to twist my words to make up your own preconceived conclusions about leftists that has very little basis in reality.
I think you’ll find that I’ve mainly been asking you questions rather than misquoting you, but OK.
I thought it was very very clear indeed what the two alternatives were for who is in the Whitehouse, and I’m sure we’d agree that they’re are theoretically much, much better alternatives like actual left wing parties, but no, I wasn’t asking you a theoretical question about parties that had no chance of winning in the USA at all, I was asking you about the real world. I’ll try again.
In your view, is it better for America to have a Democrat in the Whitehouse than a Republican, or not really?
Would it have been materially better for Harris to win rather than trump?
Would it have been better for Biden to win than trump?
I essentially already answered your questions so you know what ill reject your false dichotomy. I reject the entire premise that I have to pick between fascism and fascism lite, between one capitalist and a slightly better capitalist. This system is fundamentally designed to strip all power away from the workers and into the capitalists. Liberal Democracy is democracy by and for the capitalist class.

Are you in any way able to criticise Trump or the Republican party directly, or for you is public enemy number 1 the Democratic Party?
