    Not if the centrists can yank endorsements from popular progressives. It, worse still, actively collaborate with fascists to remove them.

    Choosing between Hitler and Himmler is no choice

      Sorry but calling Republicans and Democrats Hitler and Himmler is not reflective of reality and honestly pretty deranged. There is a choice, and it’s clear which is more damaging.

        calling Republicans and Democrats Hitler and Himmler is not reflective of reality

        When to parties endorse the same Holocaust? What other parallel am I supposed to draw?

        Maybe Naftali Bennett and Benjamin Netanyahu?

        There is a choice, and it’s clear which is more damaging.

        The difference between conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats is that Democrats are “civil” to Republican elites and Republicans don’t return the favor.

        For everyone else, it’s the same boot on your neck. The same wars overseas. The same prisons at home. The same police getting another big pay increase to harass homeless people. The same bailouts for banks and the tech sector.

        Dems couldn’t even close the torture prison at Guantanamo Bay. They just had to keep brutalizing people, indefinitely.
