The debate is literally an agreement between Donald trump and kamala Harris. There is no neutral debate commission involved. This doesn’t really make sense.
Those candidates are free to have their own debate if they think they can convince someone to put them on TV.
But there is no public debate commission, and no public funding going to these debates. It’s two campaigns making a deal with a private TV network to show them on TV arguing with each other. Should there be a public debate commission? And if there were, would it be appropriate to feature more candidates? Maybe! But as is, the only real issue is that the vast majority of the public does not care about these candidates.
Trump’s mass deportation and ‘poisoning the blood of our nation’ rhetoric is literally Hitlerian. Nazi as a term is not being watered down here.
I wouldn’t consider Harris a Nazi though, just another Neo liberal. Although the Democrats shift on the border, conceding to the republican narrative, and the current stance on Israel/Palestine is still concerning
My issue wasn’t with calling Trump a Nazi (I find that assessment correct), but calling them both Nazis. Yes, the rightward shift is concerning, but the false equivalence put up here understates Trump’s danger and heavily overstates Harris’s.
Yeah that’s fair, I agree. I think it’s important to highlight the rachet effect when it comes to Democrats, especially on harmful policies like immigration and foreign policy, but it’s also important to recognize the difference between them and the Republicans. The only avenue for progressive change is with the Democratic Party, but only with enough voters demanding better representation
Hate to break it to you, but America has kids in cages. It is the furthest right country on this planet, and is fairly close to nazism in terms of function.

I think the point he’s trying to make here is about the undemocratic nature of the election system, in which only the two frontrunners have a chance.

Closer than the two nazis we get to pick from
God, I despise the watering down of the term “nazi”.

I think you accidentally double posted.

Am I watering down the word nazi or are you watering down the crime of genocide?
Do you have a better term to describe people supporting the systematic murder and ethnic cleansing of people trapped in a concentration camp?
Nazi is the most accurate term to describe Harris and Trump.
Nazism has to come from the Auschwitz region of Germany or else it’s just sparkling fascism
I get the joke but Auschwitz was in Poland. They were careful to keep all the concentration camps out of Germany.
branding is important, yo!

The fact that this comment is getting upvoted is why I fucking hate this place.
Then why are you here?
Go watch an ideologically flattering super hero movie
