      That’s not what I got from reading these articles, I posted them so someone else could check if the sensationalist propaganda poster makes sense.

      Now that you mentioned it, why do we on Lemmygrad need to be reminded that a specific liberal like Harris is garbage when all of them are? What kind of message is this kind of agitprop supposed to send, to vote for Trump/Republicans instead? Are we going to participate in electoralism in the US? Are we supposed to critically support the “lesser evil” like some US communist party claims?

        Because many here including lurkers from other instances may be swayed by the propaganda assault of the election by the media and the larger culture. It’s important to delineate why Democrats are not a lesser evil and why it is not good to vote for them. Why we must hold them to scorn and the light of their misdeeds. No one considering socialism is going to be a serious reactionary who needs to be disabused of a love for Trump. That’s a foregone conclusion on lemmy. So we focus on the audience we have and the new baby left we’re talking to.

        The 3rd article you posted is from an alt-reich propaganda site. I can understand the information on that article being accurate, but it’s not a good look.

          That’s interesting to know, which is why I posted these links in the first place, because the poster looks sensationalist and I couldn’t make a judgement on the accuracy of the claims, and I didn’t want to waste too much time looking up whether liberals are worse than they seem.

          (My uninformed view is that this poster is making a bullshit claim)
