Stephen Miller rages about ‘fascist’ label despite regularly using the term himself (www.independent.co.uk)

On Tuesday this week, Miller appeared on Hannity and addressed Newsom and the social media post.

“It is a message that his team is sending to all the crazies and lunatics out there,” he said.

“We’re not going to absolve Democrats of responsibility anymore. There’s a reason why all of these killers and lunatics and terrorists adopt the same language. They say they are trying to kill the fascist and stop the fascists. This is deliberate.”

Speaking about recent incidents of political violence, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Miller accused the Democratic Party of encouraging such attacks.

“They have been radicalized by Democrat Party rhetoric that describes anyone who doesn’t share their warped and twisted world view as fascists, worthy by implication of execution,” Miller said.

AOC has had her use. I've been extremely disappointed in her capture by the Democratic party leadership. She has "played ball" with them in many situations (especially on Israel) and has still been completely shunned by them. She has achieved nothing for her compromise and really shines only when she stands strong on an issue.

Mamdani is great but is already showing some signs of the same issues AOC has. I know he's exhausted by being attacked from liberals about his strong stance on Palestinian liberation. But that's a reason WHY he's liked.

I don't see politician's as saviors. I see them as tools for building class consciousness and working class solidarity. AOC has outlived most of that usefulness as a tool. I will praise her when she can be used but I'll critize her when she caves in.

Same will go for Mamdani. He is doing a lot for working class interest now so I praise that. At least in messaging. But he isn't in office yet and will need to actually fight for what he stands for.

But I'd never place a movement on a single politician. It's the mistake progressives did with Bernie. I focus on building working class solidarity and only see the political process and elections as a small part of that process that will never work without the true ground work outside of the political system.

I see, thanks for the reply. I'm British so I probably don't know as much about American politics as Americans do. I think it would be cool if Zohran wins in NYC though. I guess it would show that elections can be won these days on the grounds of making life more affordable for ordinary people.
