If I was running for a VP or any other electable position for me the best part would be that I can do my best for my people, for my country.

Perhaps that’s why I am not a politician…

@tuparev Come on man, you’re being intentionally obtuse. You know what he’s referring to.

As someone who would vote for Jill if I was a US citizen I think I cannot be accused in strange political sympathies. But the DNC duo is a joke, really!

@tuparev Everything is a joke in American politics. Even Jill and her party. But the dems, even with their far-right economic policies (like defending my health should be source of profit for a predatory company) are the only viable alternative to fascism on these elections, and coming from a country with a fascist history, that’s good enough for me if I was American. Although I would have to cover my nose to vote on the only party on earth who deployed nukes on foreign (and domestic) citizens.

I too do not like the orange man, but:

• to call him a fascist shows lack of basic history knowledge

• as far as I do recall US history, under dems (and specially last 4 years) the world did suffer most and the largest amount of human blood was lost (something I cannot forgive!)

• Under the dems (and specially under Joe and Kamala) the west destroyed everything we slowly build since the Enlightenment. Example: there is no f* way I can vote for people who call for “defund STEM”.

• …

@tuparev

• Why? He ticks every box of fascism. Conservative areas of the US are already fully engaged in things like banning books.

• US external politics are terrible but you have the EU to blame more than the US on both current major wars TBH.

• When exactly did they say that?

@arroz

Then define fascism. Obviously we have different definitions.

@tuparev I tend to use Umberto Eco definition of fascism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism (search on the page, can’t get the anchor on the iPhone)

Aside, arguably, from item 9 (he tends to say he wants to end wars but he also considered using nukes as a viable option during his term), all the other items apply to him without question.

The Luis Britto García definition also applies pretty well, especially item 1 (it starts with trump companies themselves).

@arroz

Interesting, I did not know this definition. Well, most of the items are vague and not unique for the fascism. And because they are vague, you can assign them to both candidates. And if you count, DNC gets a bit more matches. I think I need to write a blogpost on this. Perhaps my experience from the communist times in Bulgaria will make some sense.

@tuparev And BTW I am still waiting for you to tell me where did you get the idea the dems are anti-STEM. 😊

@arroz

Remember the protests in Denver? They started with BLM, and then moved to defund police and STEM. And the dem major was applauding and the WH was a silent bystander. And look what happens at the Unis - mediocracy with rainbow flags dominates meritocracy. With the full support of DNC. Do you know that Russia (1/2 of US population) is producing 2x times more STEM PhDs?
