    Very interesting! I’d like to add to this by saying that most people outside of the US see Kamala as a plain fascist! Its very interesting to compare such points of view!

      I dont and I dont really see why you would? Like she might be racist etc, but it seems pretty clear to me that she is not trying to do a fascism.

        dont really see why you would?

        Kamala Harris at the DNC: “as commander in chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world”

        Crowd: “USA! USA! USA! USA!”

        To anyone watching from outside the US, this is mind-bogglingly fascist.

        Most people think this because of the genocide shes promoting in gaza, but other people have different opinions indeed

          Promoting genocide or participating in one is not really something that qualifies a person as a fascist. I think its fair to point out her support of Israels actions and while trying be more precise with the language we use. I think its important make it clear how even folks that are not fascists can do awful things.

          Fascism isn’t an opinion. We have definitions for systems of government and there are countless scholarly articles about what constitutes fascism. Things can be horrible and not be fascist, most governments are.
