I have some hope that even on a rather lefty place like (most of) Lemmy, the dialogue among the left is a lot less tolerant of far-left absolutism than I sometimes see. Hopefully lefty infighting can take a backseat long enough for right wing threats to lessen.
I mean no, but I’ve long ago made my peace that I’ll get downvotes from the far left when I veer away from the groupthink. Whatever. It’s fine that they want to go further left as long as they vote to keep Trump out of power. I actually miss having a sane right that offers an alternative to candidates I disagree with, but right now I’m all in. You want to come destroy my suburban way of life? Sure, buddy, but let’s just beat fascism first.
I understand your point much better now. I already ignore the ignorant right when they call democracy fascism. The far left means well, they are just trying to drop a verbal nuke because they are desperate to be heard (no hate, I get that) or their vocabulary is inadequate to express nuance.

People seem to think that calling everyone a Nazi is the best way to build a powerful coalition.
Fascism is a great uniter for both sides.
I wish that were true. I see plenty of posts telling people that even thinking of voting for Biden makes you a Nazi.
Where do you see them and can you show us ?
Try Hexabear politics
That’s a tiny community of trots
