Oh! I love Angela Davis!
That said, what a fucking weird world where she and Dick "Fuck You" Cheney are on the same side-- and somehow it's still a toss-up election.

Ah, a Marxist who has taken actual lessons from past failings of those who adhere to the ideology. How refreshing.
“But genocide!” - Dude, it’s gonna be genocide either way. Voting for a third party or abstaining entirely isn’t going to change that.
But it could be a slightly less painful genocide if Kamala is in charge. Why not help make things marginally better?
You're a monster. "A slightly less painful genocide"? Do you hear yourself?
People who say "Kamela Harris supports genocide!" keep forgetting Trump literally put the Israeli Embassy in Jerusalem and wants to nuke everything...
I randomly remembered that Ben Shapiro claimed multiple times that radiation was a myth liberals made up to get people to not use nukes.... These Right Wingers are crazy
America supports genocide. The political situation there is just accidental.
I hope they pay one day.

“But when you reach that level,” nominee of one of the two major parties, “you have to be the face of capitalism, militarism, and neo-colonialism.” Harris, Fernandez warned, “has told us she will be that face, that she will build the most lethal military apparatus ever.”
Shit's bleak
As dangerous as that reality is, however, she said, “There’s more to think about: Harris is not a fascist, and the other person running for president is.”
You forgot part of the quote.
The man who appointed Hitler wasn't a fascist.
Naive to expect Americans to know this. Or that "the man who appointed Hitler" was, despite formalities, a military dictator, and that the political opposition there got its share of extrajudicial executions, and political violence was normalized there before any kind of election success of Nazis. People don't like looking into details.
That the whole narrative of "good democracy turning fascist" in post-WWI Germany is bullshit - it wasn't really democracy.
But it was similar to most of the "flawed democracies" on our planet in our time, for which the narrative is that it's some new thing uncommon in history before USSR's breakup. So that narrative was intended to divert attention from similarities between Weimar Germany and those very profitable (for corrupt western politicians) partners.
But getting back to your parallel, it's correct. Kamala Harris is the "law & order & respectable establishment" type. She doesn't even promise solutions to actual problems, only to some symptoms, and those solutions seem like making fun of the general population.
Yeah he got democratically elected after he sent the brown shirt to intimidate everybody else and burned the parliement /s

She's someone I really want to deep dive, but I have never taken the time. Her monologue that begins at 1:24 minutes into this clip was my first exposure to her and I love that moment when you realize these awful examples she's citing are not just awful in their own right, but that they drive home her undeniable point at the end, in response to what sounds like it was a bullshit question.

The Venn diagram of the people who have an issue with this and the people who don't care that David Duke supports Trump is a circle
Funnily enough, he seems to not even support Trump anymore, because hes supposedly just endorsed Jill Stein
