You should maybe learn a bit more about "whataboutism" because you seem to not be aware of when to apply it.

What I am saying is, if you dislike the green party because Russian money has made it into their coffers, but you won't apply the same standard to democrats, then you are a hypocritical, and your message fails in my opinion.

If you think the democrats have the strongest stance against facism, you don't understand the meaning of the word facism.

The democrats haven't moved this country away from facism meaningfully in any way. They move the country towards profit, thats it. The republicans and democrats disagree on how to profit off the worlds misery and to what extent, but both are fascists.

The irony that americans can't see how close republicans and democrats are in their intolerance and abuse of others.

Democrats: "We want to abuse non-white folk in other countries for profit!"

Republicans: "we want to abuse our own people to make profit!"

If you really think anyone who's critical of the democrats is a shill or some other bullshit, then I wish you the best but thats a childish perspective.
