        *Rep Ro Khanna is trying to kiss his Nazi ass

        The only other Dem mentioned in the article that you can try pinning that statement on simply said that he’s “a believer in redemption”, but that’s it really.

          Do you believe in the redemption of elon musk?

          Because I’m seeing the party that spent a whole assed year ignoring the Leahy law in order to sell weapons for genocide looking at a nazi and being like “you know, he’s not that bad.”

            I believe that people have the capability of committing wrong-doings, even atrocities, only to come around later and realize that they were in the wrong and can attempt to make up for it in life.

            Do I believe that Elon Musk has redeemed himself? No. I do believe he has the capability to do so though, eventually. Do I believe that he should receive punishment for his wrongdoings? Yes. Same for Trump.

            In regards to the statement about Dems siding with Nazis, don’t use labels to throw everyone under the same blanket and judge them all equally harshly. Everyone is an individual, and their actions should be judged as such. If there’s a Democrat that acted in such a way, by all means call them out and we’ll all hate on them together.

              I will judge anyone who sides with nazis harshly. Minimizing it like you’re doing just gives others cover to also side with nazis.

        No one in your linked article is a leader in the party - just a lot of conjecture there to make the Dems the bad guys and reinforce the “both parties are the same” narrative that your ilk like to spread.

          No one in your linked article is a leader in the party

          I didn’t say they were. They seem to be choosing a leader who is in line with centrist values. Which is to say, he has money and is a reprehensible piece of shit.

          • just a lot of conjecture there to make the Dems the bad guys

          Conjecture doesn’t typically involve direct quotes from sitting legislators.

          and reinforce the “both parties are the same” narrative that your ilk like to spread.

          You are fine with your party kissing nazi ass. Just not anyone pointing it out. I’d tell you to demand better, but it’s clear that you think you’re getting it already.

            Just admit it - no leaders or even major legislators in the Dem party is kissing Nazi ass. The article has non specific quotes from guys I’ve never heard of. Just more right wing misinformation for Lemmings such as yourself.

              I never made that assertion. Elon is the leader the democrats in the article (and those in this thread minimizing this) have chosen.

              Just more right wing misinformation for Lemmings such as yourself.

              Everyone to the left of your boy elon is “right wing” to you.
