She promised to institute a tax on unrealized gains.

What constitutes "far right?"

Trump has concentration camps. Biden didn't. One assumes Kamala wouldn't. If you don't see a difference, it speaks to how privileged you are.

Biden built the camps Trump is using. Check yourself.

Trump has concentration camps. Biden didn't

Uh... The ICE haven't been created out of thin air in January... You just ignored them before because it was a democrat in the adminstration.

What constitutes "far right?"

Funding genocide in Palestine, running the ICE and deporting more immigrants than trump did in 2016 (look it up), maintaining the military industrial complex, increasing rates of homelessness and prices of healthcare and rent and tuition...

Under Biden ICE wasn't sending people to extraterritorial prisons without due process.

So, the existence of Ukraine, homelessness and high prices equal "Nazi?"

No, only Guantanamo operated that way. ICE was still a concentration camp though. Really grasping at straws aren't we?

So, the existence of Ukraine, homelessness and high prices equal "Nazi?"

Maintaining Nazi policy of genocide in Gaza (failed to mention that one I see), and of economic and police violence (1 in 4 black males above 30 years old have been through the prison system in the US) is Nazi, yes.

Have you ever considered the total failure of any politicians you support might have to do with your hyperbole?

[–] AES_Enjoyer@reddthat.com 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Just accept you don't care about genocide as long as it's a democrat enacting it, we'll be over quicker

[–] HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee -1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It would be a Likudnik enacting it.

And your insistence demonstrates my point.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It's incredible that blueMAGA think that denying the Democrats role in the Gaza genocide does anything other than show everyone that they're wilfully dishonest.

Who is everyone? Because the majority of Americans backed the candidate to the right of them on Israel.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Everyone who hasn't had their head buried in the sand the last year and a half.

So, do you just, not want to win any elections, ever?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Could you please read back through the previous comment and explain to me how your comment is supposed to follow from them

[–] HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

It demonstrates just how divorced you are from the reality of most American voters.

What is your definition of "concentration camps"?

Migrant detention centers and prisons were a focus within the "build back better" set of legislature and the ICE raids and campus crackdowns I'm assuming you are referencing are a continuation of the Biden administration's crackdown from well over a year ago.

If you're just referencing Guantanamo bay as a migrant detention center then every president since 1974 has been guilty of concentration camps.

[–] HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

If you can appeal getting sent to it, it isn't a concentration camp.

[–] SinAdjetivos@beehaw.org 0 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

By that definition the Nazi death camps weren't concentration camps, nor is anything Trump or Biden having done "concentration camps".

A 5 minute hearing within a detention center does allow for an appeal, and is used by those with enough wealth/privilege/etc. However I suspect that isn't what you meant, can you expand on that definition?

Edit: I realized there was also another interpretation which is that all jails, detention centers, police vehicles, etc. are concentration camps.

[–] HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Trump is presently arguing that the courts cannot bring people back from El Salvador. Er go there is no appeal.

And I would like to see some evidence of courts getting people out of Nazi death camps.
