I'm confused, the only thing I've said about the dems is that they're less bad than the actual fash but still in large part to blame for this current situation. Not exactly "lefties shouldn't be mad at the democrats". It'd be pretty absurd to argue that, even (see: gaza, enabling fascism with their complacency, etc). Imitating their behavior would, you know, be emulating the things that lead to the current situation vis a vis fascism.
I'm really sorry, but I'm not sure what your point is. Aren't the dems the ones culpable for the rise of fascism in this country, which was the whole point of this in the first place? Emulating them seems like a good way to become a fascist enabler.
I dunno, seems like the fascists are the problem, actually.
The moderates that tolerate fascists and thus enable them are always the problem, actually.

Rome is burning, even Nero is out there organizing the firefighters, and you want to righteously split grammatical hairs? I don't even have a fiddle metaphor, this is just dumb on both our parts. For quite a few people, people who are even on your side already, it did not go without saying. For 40%+ of the country it doesn't even go without saying that trump is a fascist. Your opinions are not objectionable, hell from a quick browse through your comment history we agree on pretty much every point, the only problem here is that your message is getting drowned by your very understandable fear and anger.
Lashing out at your allies when they think your message is getting lost in the rhetoric is going to accomplish nothing except see you have to fight alone, and neither you nor I will survive this by ourselves.
It did, though. Or at least the message you're presenting seems to indicate that.
The moderates that tolerate fascists and thus enable them are always the problem, actually.
I'm fairly sure you phrased it like this as a retort to the first commenter's comment, but you gotta see how insisting the blame 'actually' lies with the moderates and the people enabling the fascists is pretty clearly interpretable as shifting the responsibility. Both parties are to blame, but you're implying that the bulk of the criticism lies with the people being passive about allowing the fascist takeover instead of with the people exploiting the resource they've found in moderates by doing the fascism.
Dems didn't get their shit together and exploit the moderates first to prevent this, but while that does make them culpable for the current fascist power grab, it does not make them equally culpable, and that is the position you seem to be presenting.
Who's talking about voting as resistance, besides you? There's a conversation to be had about it sure, but it's not the conversation being had now, here. You trying to shift the focus to a subject you're comfortably confident about discussing is why you're being criticized, not for the merit of what you're saying on its own.
... Is this a bit? Because thats some unhinged shit to believe if you're being serious.
Just to be clear here, Putin isn't responsible for all the worlds evils, that's just... well, dumb. Sorry but like, who in their right mind could believe that? Seriously, I don't know how you could possibly arrive at that conclusion.
And hell, he's not even responsible for all the evils in the US. But he's very openly and publicly working with the far right parties here, who are in their turn very open about working with him, and that makes him a very relevant current figure. Not... sure what part of that is a revelation.
Er... no, he's just responsible for all that evil he's unabashedly doing right now. And is working very closely with the fascist party in our government. As a result, he's become an important figure in the political landscape of the US.
If you were able to verify the numbers and references generated by the AI, why wouldn't you just post that? The text generated by something even worse than the latest chatGPT model isn't exactly compelling evidence.
"Internet commenter decides to pull an ad hominem because they dislike what you're saying but want to performatively demonstrate their lack of respect by talking past the content of what you are saying"
When the people can't even afford the lumber to make the guillotines, what do we do then?
