Everyday in small towns across America people work side by side on local issues with people whose views they don't agree with. As they should. But asking people to support a national movement of Nazis is not the same.
I do not agree, but I am coming to left thinking relatively late in life and certainly don’t know enough to assert an opinion about how movements should be built.
I can say that I will be watching this with interest and a wary eye. I fully expect those on the right to use this moment to promote their right viewpoints as much if not more than the anti-war message, and I expect them to express even that in flawed and problematic ways based on what I’ve seen from them so far.
If those on stage who profess to be on the left, who rail about workers rights and the failures of capitalism and the police state and incarceration from the relative comfort of their own platforms, do not use this moment to connect these things to the war machine, it will not only be an opportunity lost, but a betrayal.

Thank you. I have to agree!

The people on stage on “the left” will make milquetoast antiwar statements and try not to do anything to interfere with the Nazi fundraising.
There’s no potential for this rally to be a good thing, it’s a fundraiser for Nazis. How does good come from that?
