This. Your logic could at least make sense with other US president, but not wanna-be dictator one doing lip service for all the authoritarians and dictators in the world. Not a good fit to fight for democracy.

- calgoo 9mo agoThere is no left or right here. There is ultra right and right. Trump is a ultra right authoritarian ruler, and the Democratic party is just another right wing party. The left vs right is just a way for powerful people to have someone to blame. Please stop using these propaganda terms.
- radu_floricica 9mo agoI don't like using these terms without qualifications, just like socialism means three different things in three different contexts. But saying the Democratic party, with AOC, Bernie Sanders and two decades of progressism is "right"... you might as well say the sky is green. That's just ignoring any meaning of the words, not trying to find a more precise one.
- locopati 9mo agothe progressive wing of the Democratic party does not have much sway or power within the party tho. the party itself is centrist.
