Fucking Christ finally!

They call democrats every name under the sun whether it applies or not. About time they call a fascist a fascist...
I've called him a lot of names. This is just one.
- So has she. This is just in public.
  
  She almost called him something else in the debate.
- calling him a name? it's stating a fact
- I have invent new insults every few days because the old ones get used up too quickly
Not just can, should.
the party of "he tells it like it is!!" has to scramble and do damage control in a panic every time trump opens his stupid face anus
- Maybe they used to. They don't bother anymore.
If it walks like a duck...
- Check it's diapers.
- And steps like a goose...
I'm actually very surprised that she said that. Was this Harris stumbling off script, or will she continue saying it?
But not the whole GOP.

At least, not in her opinion. Or at least not the ones she plans to appoint to her own cabinet.
- We were talking about fascist dictators here, but i can see why you'd confuse that with Republicans in general.
  
  Trump is a fascist and wants to be a dictator, that's true. Fascism is also not exclusive to Trump in the Republican Party. The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 are core to the GOP, not just Trump.
  
  Criticizing Biden/Harris for conceding to right-wing lies like on immigration or for wanting to integrate Republicans into her Cabinet are completely valid criticisms. She should be attacking them on every fascist policy they advocate for and countering them with progressive policies that are popular
- Has she said who she would appoint? The only time I ever saw anything about this she was asked "would you consider putting Republicans in your cabinet?" And she said she would. Will she, possibly/probably. That said it is a twist of her words to say that she will.
  
  Me saying "I would" consider a date with Carrie Underwood, doesn't mean I will go on one.
Pot meet kettle.
- What about Harris — specifically — do you perceive to be fascist?
  
  When she is willingly taking money from fascist governments and boasting that she is receiving endorsements from war criminals and people that Democrats themselves labeled as fascist, they are fascist.
