He's not a Nazi; he's a fascist. Nazi refers to a specific political party. Fascist is more general.

If he walks like a nazi, talks like a nazi and acts like a nazi. He's a fucking nazi.

The main difference, as I understand, is that national socialism is inherently racist and puts the (Aryan) race on top of the ideology, everything else must submit to the benefit of the (Aryan) race, whereas fascism puts the benefit of the state on top.

Trump, as far as I can judge from beyond the pond, is still claiming to put the state, or the United States of America, first, like a fascist would do. His hate speech against immigrants still serves the narrative of them being bad for the US, not of them being disadvantageous towards the benefit of the Aryan race.

So frustrating

Ignoring everything else here prosecutor is a net negative and "Felon" isn't a bad thing necessarily. If you want to you can criticize Trump without propping up law enforcement.

not to be in support of trumb, but if someones records are spotless that is inherently suspicious to me. is she even allowed to run for president if she hasn't visited a sex trafficker?

[-] bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 day ago

Her record isn’t spotless, but when you compare someone to trump it might as well look spotless because the context of trump makes it look so clean

I’m not fully knowledgeable about her record since I have more pressing things to worry about rather than researching harris, but as a queer person, I am aware of some of her shortcomings regarding queer rights.

She has explicitly tried to prevent trans people from receiving gender affirming care when in prison and challenged a ruling in favor of a transwoman to do so.

Source: (washington blade)

She also supported trans women in men’s prisons which is an extra horrific experience for a trans person, since queer people are generally more likely to be assaulted, raped, and sexually assaulted in prison. Trans women in men’s prisons have it the worst.

This happened in the past, but with her not explicitly making trans rights a campaign issue in the face of how much discrimination they are currently facing, it is concerning.

thank you for pointing out some of her flaws, I find it appalling that she would not want people to continue medical treatment for a condition that is corelated with suicide while in prison. Where trans people should be located in prison is a difficult question, I think making gender neutral prisons that don't have convenient places for rape to occur (make all bathrooms be unisex, increase surveillance of employees, eliminate for profit prisons) would probably be the best method, but idk. On the bright side she isn't trump.

I can recognize a joke when I see one. Take my upvote.

Virtual tie 😩

[-] CouncilOfFriends@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago

They still need more information, probably about her emails because they are so far behind on political news.

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

An ode to the increasingly large gap in education within the US. You reap what you sow, and that lack of worker rights and education along with the promotion and celebration of extreme competition is showing. Not that it isn't costly, a good education doesn't even seem to last a generation nowadays.
