Wow.. uhh... what a return, I guess. Has strikeout moved to the right in the past couple of months... jeez...
Ok.
The difference is that the lefts extremists have become the face of the party (AOC and the squad), while the rights extremists are outliers.
Right now, the face of the Democratic Party is Joe Biden. Secondary to Joe Biden, the face of the Democratic Party is Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. We know this to be true because the Democratic voters elected Joe Biden, and Democratic congresspeople elected Pelosi and Schumer. As much as I would love AOC to be the face of her party, the progressive caucus is a minority in the House (and it isn't close). Let's compare that to the Republicans. Trump is the ONLY real face of the Republican Party right now, or at least the only person their base seems to support. Even if you don't believe that Trump is a fascist, he is absolutely the closest we have ever come to it. And Trump wholeheartedly endorsed MTG. So no, let's not equivocate here.
As far as Taylor-Greene being an anti-Semite, you will have to provide some evidence to that claim. That’s a pretty big charge to not support.
The Jewish Space Laser thing should automatically make anyone skeptical. Her talking about the Rothschilds? Cmon. Beyond that, she rags on George Soros constantly (something that, while not anti-semitic on its own, is often based in antisemitism), and she said that "Zionist supremacists" were causing the refugee crisis. With these pieces of evidence plus the other conspiracism she's engaged in, yeah, I'm comfortable calling her an anti-semite.
The right does a good job of purging their anti-semites (see Steve King). The left defends theirs. (see Ilhan Omar).
Cmon. You don't believe this. Are we seriously going to argue that there are more anti-semites on the left than on the right? David Duke got 40% of the vote in Louisiana in the 90's, as a Republican. Steve King was elected and rose up the party. If you took a random sample of anti-semites, more are going to be down with Trump than Biden, by a significant amount. As for Ilhan Omar, I would love to see the anti-semitic things she's said. Most of the time when that claim is made, it's usually anti Israel stuff, which is not nessesarily anti-semitic.
I’m going to guess that the two pinned posts at the top are due to your excessive redlining.
You would be correct.
Democratic socialism is government cram-down of wealth redistribution. Marxism is a natural progression towards communal living that has no government. Calling Warnock a Marxist was actually a misspeak. He is more of a Stalinist or a Maoist.
I actually disagree with you about Democratic Socialism. Democratic Socialism, I think, was a term made up by Bernie in order to make socialism sound better and distinguish himself from Stalin (which is fair), even though Bernie isn't a socialist (as far as we know). Marxism.. I don't know. Socialists have so many understandings of what Marxism and socialism actually mean that I don't really care anymore. I do appreciate that you at least try to understand terms (and don't try the "socialism is when the government does stuff). As for Warnock being a Stalinist.... umm... evidence appreciated. Seems like he's going to govern as a moderate/slightly progressive Dem. He's not even pro M4A.
Also, the policies that AOC and the rest of the “democratic socialists” advocate for is NOT the Swedish model. A large plurality of Sweden’s social welfare is privatized. They are heavy advocates for school choice. Nothing about the lefts proposed policy is Sweden.
This is kind of true but exaggerated. Bernie and AOC do push more top-down broad policies that I don't support (I don't support free college or 15 dollar minimum wage, I'm skeptical about M4A and any form of student debt cancellation). However, to claim that "nothing about the lefts proposed policy is Sweden" is just not true. Bernie and AOC would push us further toward a Nordic model than anyone else in American politics today.
Also, you may want to rid your own party of the racism before calling out the other side. Linda Sarsour came to GA to campaign for Warnock and Ossoff and the left acted like it was perfectly normal.
I agree that we should all focus on racism within our own parties. That said, I'm not sure what relevance Linda Sarsour has to this discussion. As far as I can tell, she canvassed for the two, but they never had a connection. Do we really want to go down the path of blaming candidates for having radical supporters? Because if so.... maybe you don't want that discussion.
