And Democrats were warned that they need to stop putting their thumbs on the scale to push the most dog shit candidates that don’t promise anything that will help the working class.

what about biden? Dude was pretty popular with blue collar workers, and pushed a lot of good relevant legislation.

Fascism happens when democracy is unresponsive to the needs of the working class

this is factually, not fascism, i feel like im speaking with nazis trying to "subvert" the normie population and "enlighten" them or whatever the fuck groypers do.

You're either purposely misunderstanding my post, or just obtuse. I'm saying fascists get elected when democracy fails to solve people's problems, not that that unresponsiveness is fascism itself. Look at Weimar Germany and Italy.

to be clear, what you said is an extremely obtuse way to say that "people elect fascists when they want a fascist"

people are acting like it's some fucking new world order plot to overthrow the US government with fascism, but like actually, a bunch of idiots with the ability to vote did it.

also, if you wanted to make that statement more generally accurate, "fascism happens when the people feel that traditional government has failed them" since fascism tends to be primarily opportunist by nature.
