Publicly shacking up with neo-nazis is equivalent to… electing democratic socialists?! Are you seriously making this equivalence?

I don't even know what you are talking about so no. And also if it's happening why do I even need to make the equivalence, I'm sure you're right. It's happening, that's the point I was trying to make. The extremes are now the norm and in the open. Both sides are equally to blame.

Nick Fuentes is extreme. Democratic socialism is not extreme, no matter how hard conservatives might try to paint it that way. There is no equivalence here, and "both sides" are not equally to blame.

And other than Mamdani -- a middle of the road democratic socialist who would find himself at home in any Scandinavian country -- I’m not sure what "self-proclaimed socialists" you’re even talking about.

My bad bro.
