Kashif Shah@JoelforWI and the DEM strategy is any different? #NoHumanRightsNoAmerica #radicalmoderate
#NotEveryConservativeChristianIsANazi
@JoelforWI flip sides of the same evil coin…
as it stands today, it is my opinion that the our “democracy” is on the verge of becoming a concrete duopoly of chimeral aristocracy+ochlocracy.
a better strategy:
#NoHumanRightsNoAmerica #UNUDHR #TeamFreedom
@KashifShah To compare the policy goals , and propaganda tools of Biden and Tim Scott in my view won't stop the fascists. The scare poster is absolutely true in how the GQP wins elections. Campaigning as "Mr. Nice Guy" is in many elections a recipe for losing. Can that be the eventual goal?, and is, yes. In the meantime whether national or local (if it's appropriate for that election), go negative early and often.
@JoelforWI neither Party has done their actual job about #UNUDHR - why haven’t either Party yet mandated the education of elementary-school age children about it? Why is it not yet mandated that all secondary-school age young adults be educated in the full scale and scope of their human rights and in the context of the history of the Greatest Generation and the War to End All Wars?
As Einstein asked of Freud: Why War?
@JoelforWI no comment?
@KashifShah "why haven’t either Party yet mandated the education of elementary-school age children about it?" Not true in the US. You want me to argue pie in the sky vs political reality while you pretend the Dems are the same as the GQP fascist cult. It's a silly conversation. Appropriate policy discussions are fine. You aren't going to convince the brainwashed. Gen Z appears to be fearful, good. They should be. We should all keep that going.
@JoelforWI > “Not true in the US.”
Can you point to some specific legislation that supports your statement?
> “Gen Z appears to be fearful, good. They should be. We should all keep that going.”
You, as a self-described Democrat, are making my point for me about the equivalency of Democratic and Republican strategies - both use fear to try to control the people, which is in direct conflict with the principles of the #UNUDHR and the basis for that fear is often contrary-to-fact
@KashifShah You're living in fairy land cupcake. Have fun, your nonsense about both parties is just that.
@JoelforWI Perhaps you are living in the past? That you haven’t yet supported your take on these opinions with facts is beginning to speak volumes.
@KashifShah "why haven’t either Party yet mandated the education of elementary-school age children about it?" What fact is this? Every Dem in every state battles for expanded public education, especially where threatened with "choice" funds. All Dems favor Head Start. My primary objection to your screeds are the "both parties are the same" screed. It's not demonization if one is shedding light on actual demons, fascists.
@JoelforWI The question was why have neither Democrats nor Republicans yet mandated the education of secondary-school age children about the UNUDHR, as is expected by internationally agreed-upon standards set 75 years ago.
It is demonizing when you equate the Republican Party with fascists or Q-Anon as a means to instill fear in the populace and steer people towards the Democratic Party. There are plenty of other examples of Democrats using fear-baiting, just like Republicans.
Author Sharon E. Cathcart ✅I hardly find it "demonizing" when the parallels are undeniable. But you do you.
@sharonecathcart @KashifShah Kashif kept yipping about facts. Not sure what he wanted me to refute, I did on the Dem public education policies. I guess "facts" are, he wanted to pretend I didn't reference any, or sling the accusation if he receives disagreement that the person "has no facts". Maybe he's just an rwinger in denial of his own party's behavior.
I received a similar response, telling me to read an article he'd already given me (for reasons known only to himself). I've stopped following him ... because telling me to "keep in mind" an entire article that a) tells me nothing I haven't already read out of courtesy if nothing else and b) does nothing to refute my point that the parallels between the GOP and the fascist movement are undeniable.
As the kids say, I got nothin' ...
@sharonecathcart To push back fascism in the 21st century we need peacekeepers and muckrakers. My personal inclinations are towards the latter. "Confronting this fascist counter-revolutionary movement necessitates creating a new language and the building of a mass social movement in order to construct empowering terrains of education, politics, justice, culture and power that challenge existing systems of white supremacy, white nationalism, manufactured ignorance and economic oppression."
