Defending or excusing Kremlin collusion with Trump

Against the democratic rights of the American people is an effort to promote fascism. It is an extreme right-wing position. Those who defend fascism and the regime of white supremacy over the rights of citizens forsake any claim to being part of the left. One cannot ignore evidence of Russian interference in our elections or justify it without betraying an allegiance to the fascist state.

They are not in the left. They pretend to be, but their defense of fascism betrays them.

to see such drivel being spewed by those who are supposed to be on the left - and who trashed our wonderful nominee.

That there is nothing remotely leftist about those efforts. It is a pro-authoritarian argument contrived to defend fascism at home and abroad.

insisting she shouldn't have been so bold. I cannot understand what purpose it serves other than defending Trump-Putin.
