… Joe Biden is right of center politically. Do you consider every neoliberal centrist democrat and republican fascist?

I mean, Joe Biden is right of center on the political spectrum. So are all neoliberal centrist democrats now facists?
You can disengage from political debate and only engage in infighting with your own party or what not, good for you.
Considering most peoples get their politics from their parents and it’s more a football team mentality, I think you’re a little off.
We tolerate the shitty uncle who gets drunk and says stupid shit at thanksgiving.
We punch Nazis in the face.
I don’t tolerate maga folks. I just kind of ignore them, and don’t allow them to be a part of my life.
I do have republican and conservative friends. I do not have any maga friends.
It says it has all the vitamins you need but probably not all the amino acids, but idk
I think it would have the be my car’s exhaust pipe.
Ok so we can assume the dozen coup attempts by the us government have nothing to do with this at all, gotcha….
Again, whatever country you are from your anecdotal experience and evidence is valid but also anecdotal. We are both obviously influenced by propaganda on this particular issue but again whatever country you are from if I got it wrong and you think that was the most important thing? When we are talking about Venezuela? Really? Does your neck have a ring of shit around it? Serious questions need answers
Edit: I already know the answer to one of these questions
I knew it!
I can only assume you are a bot or a person who only consumes corporate media and state department propaganda, so 50/50 your either a bot or a bot.
It’s laughable to argue that the main source of their economic issues are not the sanctions.
This tells me that you are not arguing in good faith.
You being from Columbia and having met a few Venezuelan immigrants is anecdotal evidence.
I also am friends and know some Venezuelan immigrants.
If someone who went to Harvard and has a trust fund leaves the United States and they tell foreigners what it was like for them growing up, how similar to the average American is their experience… not very similar at all…
We can help the guy from Harvard but his lived experience is not the absolute truth of all Americans……
This is what I mean.
Likewise, if someone was born an orphan in a bankrupt church, their lived experience is not all Americans lived experience…
Edit: it’s also somewhat reasonable to assume that maduro supporters would not be leaving the country
It’s also difficult to get an honest picture of what is happening there as pretty much all western media has blatantly supported the more than a dozen coup attempts by the USA since 2000 alone. Folks who are able to get out are also biased in one way or another. We can empathize with their lived experience and try to help the immigrants without taking their personal experience to be the absolute truth of the experiences of all Venezuelans. But again, most of the issues that affect the citizens are directly caused by US sanctions, not Maduro or the government.
I can believe that the poor folks would suffer the most so I can’t disagree with you there, but Venezuela is a bad comparison to make, per your original comment I posted to, as far as the point you were trying to make on the orginal thread topic.
Venezuela has been hurt by sanctions because the government was helping the people. The wealthy people of Venezuela don’t like the government because it is more socialist.
World is becoming unprofitable I guess might as well milk it for all we can get before we move to the next… oh wait…
I think one problem is that Dems have been screaming that every republican candidate in my lifetime will end democracy.
Many republicans have become immune to introspection because of this.
If we label everyone who disgrees with us a fascist it doesn’t serve any purpose, and most likely hinders the progress we’re trying to make.
