Oh did she say that
Maybe she's channeling something she heard her dad say about "liberal bourgeois democracy"
I mean it reads like she was saying people compared the strength of the U.S.'s democracy to that of communist dictators strength.
As in the dictators had strong governments, and the U.S.'s democracy was just as strong in her mind.
She was trying to compare Trump to a tyrant and clearly showing that democracy was falling apart.
At no time in this text would I think she was actually calling Trump a communist.
Socialist countries have more comprehensively effective democracy than the US ever had, it's just naked and absurd anti-communism from Harris.
Dawg i don't know what's wrong with you
"THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW IN TRUMP" with the direct antecedent being "communist dictators." "That" being a "comparison between capitalist democracy and communist dictators" doesn't make any fucking sense in that context. She's calling him a communist dictator.
this was the line r/politics was pushing too, it's some kind of liberal cope
