Sadly, the Democratic Party probably is the most focused anti-fascist organization we have. -nt CrispyQ Jan 2025 #155

Antifa literally means "anti-fascist". Think. Again. Jan 2025 #159

ANTIFA is pretty much the Communist Party of America. WarGamer Jan 2025 #15

Doesn't Antifa think the Democratic Party is fascist? At least that is what I have heard. LeftInTX Jan 2025 #61

Antifa is primarily (only) anti-fascist... Think. Again. Jan 2025 #63

They have referred to the Democratic Party as fascist because we are organized. And now you say I'm LeftInTX Jan 2025 #64

Mutual aid sounds like what we need right now. Think. Again. Jan 2025 #157

We are Democrats. By historical definition we've been anti-fascist since WW2. OAITW r.2.0 Jan 2025 #57

That's a good point, but I seem to be... Think. Again. Jan 2025 #58

We should proudly say that we are anti-Fascist Democrats. But that seems redundant. OAITW r.2.0 Jan 2025 #60

My posting fits very well within those guidelines. Think. Again. Jan 2025 #90

Nah, not really. Advocating for a weird third "Antifa Party" or the co-option of the Democratic Party lapucelle Jan 2025 #116

Backpedaling and pretending that what you ACTUALLY wrote is just our imagination. Oopsie Daisy Jan 2025 #174

I have been clear and consistent with my statements... Think. Again. Jan 2025 #177

Perhaps you should look into how parties caucus with each other. Think. Again. Jan 2025 #191

Perhaps YOU should look at how idiotic third party voters cost us TWO elections in favor of Trump. Oopsie Daisy Jan 2025 #194

You believe that third party ideology threatens Democratic party ideology? Think. Again. Jan 2025 #267

Third parties siphon-off votes from Democrats, and that benefits the GOP in close elections. Oopsie Daisy Jan 2025 #294

Yes, they have. Think. Again. Jan 2025 #295

You are correct LetMyPeopleVote Jan 2025 #310

Yes, well, it's probably just another linguistic error on your part. lapucelle Jan 2025 #274

No, I believe it was misinterpretation. Think. Again. Jan 2025 #275

Fighting fascism is a worthy goal. Think. Again. Jan 2025 #147

My support for Pro-Democracy, Anti-fascist ideology is the clear basis of this OP. Think. Again. Jan 2025 #251

No, that's false. Anyone can clearly see that it's promoting the idea of an Antifa party * Oopsie Daisy Jan 2025 #252

I don't believe collaborating with a new third party that shares our goals... Think. Again. Jan 2025 #254

You are using facts in this discussion LetMyPeopleVote Jan 2025 #253

You will NOT deal with the facts that your silly proposal will only help trump and his fascists LetMyPeopleVote Jan 2025 #283

Your assumptions are not facts. Think. Again. Jan 2025 #289

My suggestion is to join forces with and empower as many pro-Democracy... Think. Again. Jan 2025 #125

People who hate Democrats should really just be honest and join third parties (make LOTS third parties betsuni Jan 2025 #264

Yeah, but my OP is about whether we (the U.S.) need a stronger position against fascism on our political stage. Think. Again. Jan 2025 #265

The OP is about whether or not it's time for Antifa to organize into a formal political party. lapucelle Jan 2025 #281

Maybe we should stop allowing the GOP to make our decisions. Think. Again. Jan 2025 #305

Now that's an excellent idea! Turbineguy Jan 2025 #306

The GOP will campaign on anti-fa being the bad guys if this silly proposal is adopted LetMyPeopleVote Jan 2025 #326

Are we really setting our strategies around whether the rightwing will call us names? Think. Again. Jan 2025 #331

We are antifa. Not to be confused with the anarchists. 58Sunliner Jan 2025 #307
