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.

I think you accidentally double posted.

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
