If Sanders had won, the US and the world would look very different than it does today. And most people would agree that it would be a better place. And yes, fascists absolutely are the problem. It’s very much justified to blame the US Democrats for not opposing the rise of fascism in the US enough but this whole “the liberals are the true fascists” narrative is as tired as it is stupid.
They are saying we have to expect fascists to do what they do. We can’t blame them for that. You can blame individuals for their choices and being fascists but as a group fascists are going to do what they do and it’s up to the rest of us to stop that.
The alternative is to whine and complain all day while doing the exact same thing that got us here. Which is blaming fascists for doing fascist things while doing absolutely nothing to stop them.
