The Pennsylvania Democrat recalled his time serving as a Hillary Clinton surrogate in 2016, even after he supported Bernie Sanders in the primary.

    I get not wanting to put yourself out there to try and help, and it’s really hard not to just be a dick to people you disagree with.

    but if the question is how do we stop fascism the answer isn’t blame them or make them feel guilty about it, it’s reaching out and helping them out of it. they are people and people are stupid stubborn afraid and in need of support from other people.

      Sorry no. Reaching and out talking to the Nazi’s didn’t work.

          You’ll be in line at whatever the modern day gas chambers are with rhetoric like that. They literally tried overthrowing the government.

            What would you do, to prevent them from gassing me? Put them in their own concentration camps?

            I would criminally charge and jail the leaders, trump Roger stone and the heratage foundation, deprogram the followers, just like with any cult. They think they are saving america, just like anyone who says vote D no matter what.

              Vote. Don’t let them get any more wins. Don’t say things that spread apathy among voters. etc.

                Voting is a start, but what about project 2025? What of Roger stone and the Republicans, repeated (and depending on your views of the bush v gore election and the brooks brothers riot, successful) attempts to preempt duly elected presidents from going into office?

                It doesn’t take a majority to put a dictator in power. That’s why converting, calming and understanding republican voters is so important, if they don’t show up to the capital then the gop can’t use them as an excuse to seize control and bypass the vote.
