So you are of the opinion that democracy should be ended because the other side is trying to end it?

You’ve been called out for this before. Fascism is a far right, ultranationalist ideology. Not a leftist ideology. Nor a center right ideology.

Fascism is not employing political tactics like this. And antifascism is not fascism. You’re trivializing the reality of far right rule when you spew bullshit like this.

Sure, I edited my comments for correctness.
The fact that you care about the precise wording makes it sounds like you dislike fascism, but you have no problem with totalitarianism.

The fact I care about precise wording is because you incessantly spread misinformation and far right bullshit on this subreddit, including trying to “both sides” fascism— a clearly far-right ideology.

It still sounds like you have no problem with totalitarianism.

We hold power in the legislature. The game is already super rigged in republicans favor because of their own gerrimanders but yeah let’s just let cuomo et al rewrite the rules to favor republicans seems fair.

- The legislature passed the law that judge was ruling over
- This is the same argument that all the democrats running for president in 2020 used (Trump is abusing executive power, which is terrible, so here is our plan to abuse it if we win) and the Republicans used against Obama in 2016 Here might be a novel idea, let us vote for people that want to reduce power in the hands of the few and spread it among the people

Yes and the judges took it upon themselves to refuse to allow the legislature to rewrite the map and hand it to someone of their choosing to rewrite something even the lower court judge didn’t recommend. What the hell is your point.
It’s cute you think any democratic president has even come close to the abuse of power involved in literally overturning the votes of over 20 million people which is what trump and most republicans in congress voted for and tried to do. Give me a break. There is no “both sides” to what the republicans tried to do. Go lecture the republicans why don’t you since they are the ones who want to overturn the elections they don’t win.

January 6th was disgusting and I am not defending it, the abuses of executive privilege that was brought up during the democratic primaries predates that, and that is what I was discussing
If you want me to both sides it, there are always members of congress that refuse to certify the election every time, and they all should be thrown out
