He’s pointing out that using “Democrat” as an adjective is a weirdly Republican thing to do.
Specifically, when I did some real analysis on the question, less than 10% of lemmy posters who talk about Democrats do it by saying “Democrat” as an adjective, and there’s significant overlap between those posters and the posters that are saying that people shouldn’t support the Democrats (claiming that the Democrats aren’t far left enough to deserve support from the left).
Why is that? IDK, man, it’s a mystery. I can draw a up a little diagram for you; maybe we can figure out the mystery together.
A lot of Americans even get the Democratic/Democrat verbiage wrong so implying they’re not American is… meh?
Why is dealing with a huge and chaotic influx of migrants a right-wing thing? What would be moving “towards the left” on this issue?
Addressing the causes of the influxes (supporting terrorists/coups any time a south American country elects someone left of hitler) in the long term, and the actual migrants in a humane way by letting asylum seekers into the country until their claims can be addressed as international law requires, and providing job placement and housing all migrants need, instead of throwing them in cages.
…and hiring more judges to do just that, and devoting more funds to do just that, are wrong how?
