In reply to the discussion: Is calling people "far left idiots" a way to promote dialogue? [View all]BainsBane
(57,806 posts)I saw condemnation of the pieces of shit who refused to vote for Clinton. What I want to know is why some of are more concerned about attacks on fascists than Democrats? I don't buy the dialogue excuse. For all the talk about not calling racists racist and keeping up willful deceit about why they voted for Trump in order to assuage their egos, I see absolutely no willingness to engage with dialogue with people who don't spend their days defending Trump and attacking Democrats.
We have seen nothing but finger pointed directed at the party and the majority of voters, including the poor and people of color regularly insulted as "corporatists, turd way, and an endless array of insults.
Yet I haven't seen you object to that. I didn't see you object to efforts to normalize anti-abortion positions through false claims about Tim Kaine. In fact, I saw you give it your heartfelt approval while refusing to as much as acknowledge the information presented to you that showed those claims were false. The equal rights of women weren't worth defending, but the integrity of the fascists who voted for Trump and continue to defend him are?
The people who you insist must be pandered to chose to believe and disseminate the RW and Kremlin propaganda, and they continue to do so to this day. Voters are responsible for their own choices, every single one of us. No one forced those shit stains to vote for Stein or Trump. They chose to plunge the country into fascism. The lives lost, the demise of democracy, families ripped apart by immigration raids, people thrown off healthcare--none of that compares to their hatred, and they hate the very same people than the Tea Party and Neo Nazis hate. I don't know why some insist on calling them leftist because they clearly are not. They are white nationalists, just like the rest of the Trump's supporters.
