"“I’m not sure of the impact of the word ‘fascist,’” Nadler responded. “To some people, if you say ‘fascist,’ they just tune you out, they don’t listen to what you’re saying.”
When one woman shouted out, “But it’s true,” Nadler said, “Yes, it is true. But that’s not the only question. The goal is not to feel good about yourself because you said the truth. The goal is to stop what’s going on.”
Nadler did add, though, that “Donald Trump is the first major candidate in American politics, in recent decades, that I think really deserves to be called a fascist.” "
yeah, I remember all this happening now
I forgot quite a bit of what he said
I still remember the guy saying he was HIV positive though
That moment when real life and satire are indistingusiable
Is this like the typical leftist gathering
or is it considered a more mild one
@Swamp Killer I actually haven't been to enough events to compare things
remember, this event is nominally neutral
and I'd say many of the people who went there aren't necessarily leftists in the sense of being ANTIFA types
So they were mroe centrist
but most are definitely Democrats
many of the Hillary type, who look down on Sanderistas
Wait why do the hillary type look down on sander's people
remember, New York went to Hillary in the primaries, though that was partly because a lot of Sanders' fans weren't registered Democrats, and you had to be a registered Democrat to vote in the primary
@Swamp Killer Many Hillary supporters, particularly those from affluent urban areas like Manhattan (where rent is easily $5000 a month), are neoliberals who are fine with capitalism and free trade, think Sanders lives in la-la land and is for unkempt losers
the Democratic Party has been another party for the rich since the 1990s, when Bill Clinton and his neoliberalism took over
Manhattan in particular is full of those types
So Berie Sanders was too socialist for them
since he appealed to younger college ppl
yeah
5k rent a month?
holy shit
i thought it was bad down here
Manhattan isn't for populists
@Swamp Killer yeah, Manhattan is the most expensive place in the USA
maybe only rivaled by Silicon Valley, San Francisco, certain areas in Los Angeles where Hollywood actors live
@Swamp Killer people are willing to pay $1000/month to live in a literal fucking closet in Manhattan
And those areas tend to be deomcrat and "stand" for the poor
maybe even more
@Swamp Killer yeah, like I said, the Democratic Party is run by neoliberals
they're capitalistic, and many on the left HATE the Democratic Party because of that
I find that ironic because the media paints the republican party as a very cpaitalist party run by rednecks
people like The Young Turks want the Democratic Party to go for a more socialistic bent
and the democrats as a peace loving minority loving freedom loving party
they resent the Manhattanite neoliberals dominating the party
So they want to push further left
both socially and economically

@Swamp Killer take a look at this if you're curious
keep in mind the apartments that are only $2400 a month, are really really small
