Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Prove it. Start by defining "fascist." Then, demonstrate how the US has become a fascist state.
No. But if it's a choice to keep my human rights and take away someone else's versus take away both mine and theirs, I'll take the former. Life isn't always fair, and sometimes you have to make shit choices.
More importantly however, your scenario again presumes Biden is the cause of the loss of those human rights, that if we didn't do a thing, Israel wouldn't be bombing Palestine in retaliation anyway. Yet, who was it that secured a temporary ceasefire to get humanitarian aid in, release hostages, and let civilians escape?
If your entire argument boils down to, "I'm going to turn my nose up at Biden to feel ideologically superior," you are about as politically savvy as single-issue conservatives.
That's ironic coming from people whos single issue is keeping the red fascists out of office so their blue ones can stay in.
And you still haven't defined what a fascist is or how they've taken over the country. Words have meaning, and if you can't do those two things, your arguments are meaningless.
I learned a long time ago I could list bullet points of proof and shitlibs would still cry 'but Trump.' Fascism can never gain a foothold without a complicit liberal party supporting them
A.k.a: "I'm bullshitting, and I'm hoping desperately you don't call my bluff."
List them or admit you are unjustifiably spouting nonsense. A claim is not evidence.
Debating someone with a cult hive mind mentality is futile.
You don't have a plan. You don't have a list. You can't define "fascist." Why should anyone take you seriously?
"I want to argue semantics now."
I notice you didn't either. Know why? Because you won't. You know that if you used a definition people accepted, Biden doesn't fit it, so you can't keep using that as some kind of rhetorical club to feel superior.
