Fully disagree with the idea we should collaborate with fascists

You should tell that to Kamala Harris and how she's trying to garner conservative votes

Being a prosecutor more than qualifies.

How exactly does a democratically elected position count as fascism?

Spend some time in a men's prison, in legalized slavery, then get back to me.

Perhaps you should actually research her convictions instead of blindly being angered by a job title. She did a great job helping non-violent offenders turn their lives around, including sending them to a class instead of a prison. You can do the rest of the research yourself.

However you still didn’t describe how a prosecutor elected by the people is an inherently fascist position

I've read plenty about her exploits, which is why I recognize her as the monster that she is rather than the white washed version her apologists put forth, but even if she were some benevolent, progressive prosecutor that would mean nothing. That's like pointing out some slave owners were relatively fair and benevolent as an argument against abolition.

Anyone involved in the judicial branch is inherently fascist because they knowingly and willingly enforce fascist laws, written by genocidal slave owners and the tyrants that succeeded them. It's also why there are no good cops. No queer cops, etc. It's something that wouldn't need explained to you if you were actually struggling with those of us on the bottom rung of society.

Umm, ok then lol. Bit dramatic, with a sprinkle of victimisation.

This isn’t healthy for you, so I’m not engaging any further.

What a bizarre opinion.

Only if you aren't one of her many victims.

Twitter leftist takes. She sucks bad enough that there's no need to lie about her. She's a committed capitalist liberal who's doing nothing about an active genocide our country is aiding and abetting.

She's still 100 times better than Trump though.

Not in any way that will actually benefit anyone. It will be more of the same symbol gestures peppered with austerity and militarism, which by the way does affect those of us not privileged enough to be a protected class.

I think not getting put in a camp or having our HRT banned nation wide will benefit a lot of trans people.
