    If they’re exclusively supporting the right wing candidate, they’re not a centrist, then

      Centrism within the context of an exclusively right-wing overton window is always going to functionally be right wing.

          I didn’t make that point, I said she is right-wing, and is running on the same foreign policy as Trump did 4 years ago, with her promising to build the wall and strengthen border patrol.

          Either way:

          Authoritarian

          What do you mean by this? America isn’t a real democracy, if she supports the current system then I believe her to be authoritarian.

          Ultra-nationalist

          If you count Trump’s border policy from 2016-2020 as Ultra-Nationalist, she’s Ultra-Nationalist. She also wants the US military to be, and I quote from her speech at the DNC, as “the most lethal military in the world.”

          Forcible suppression of opposition

          Democrats kicked the Party for Socialism and Liberation off the ballot in Georgia already, so while we aren’t all the way there, signs of it are showing up

          Militarisation of society

          Not there yet, sure.

          State controlled economy

          Much of the US economy is state-controlled, it’s just that the US State is controlled by the Bourgeoisie.

          except she is for all those things except the last one which is self evident since fascists fucking love the shit out of the free market.

          she is literally a fucking pig

          she is amerikkkan and proud

          literally head pig in california when the pigs where running people over in 2020

          the amerikkkan empire is already so militarized that anything short of trying to scale it back counts

          just because the other ghoul is even more of a fascists doesn’t make her not one.
