There’s definitely more ways to talk about the threat to Democracy but I still think we should call a fascist a fascist. Its frustrating because there are definitely other aspects to Democracy being under threat in this country and I 100% agree that she should have also talked about those threats. But you should still say Trump is a threat to Democracy because he is. And him being elected might literally mean the end to Democracy in the US.

The problem arises when you call them fascists and then adopt their policies and run to the right to try to appease them.
There’s simply no where to go. Veer left and suddenly you are without your big money donors, the media and any chance of success. The narrative is completely controlled by the right wing dominated media (old media and new) and large donors with a huge incentive to support the status quo.

How would Democrats know? It’s not like they’ve veered left in the past few decades.
The problem: people don’t want to believe it could happen here.
It can. It is.
Stop talking about why the dems were wrong and start focusing on why having a fucking Nazi as head of the military is why they were fucking correct.
