Silliness. Sanders was the next step in the REAL change that's coming. Liberals are just as dissatisfied as Conservatards with the current system, and they showed it.
Dems can elect a maniac too.

Trouble is, you don't realize that everyone knows what your road leads to. The soviets already played that scenario out for us.

Fact is, he's far more authoritarian than people wish to acknowledge.

I'm not making a comparison. Not comparing liberals to commies. The attitudes on the left in the Bernie camp ARE very much the attitudes of the supporters of socialism. The attitudes among Bernie bros aren't comparatively similar to those of socialists, they ARE the the attitudes of socialists.
No matter how much you keep trying to claim it, Trump is not openly making the same promises as Hitler. All you can do is make weak connections like,
Trump said he'd restrict imigration, and we all know what comes after that. Concentration camps.

So, when he speaks very slowly and loudly "I will deport all of them" or "I will stop the flow of Mexicans with a big beautiful wall", and millions of videos are spread across a worldwide network of devices, and every single news source on the planet verifies that it was said... We can take comfort in the fact that he didn't specifically say "Jews".Okeefenokee wrote:Two different things.GrumpyCatFace wrote:I could just as easily keep comparing Trump to the Reich...Okeefenokee wrote:Trouble is, you don't realize that everyone knows what your road leads to.

If deportation makes you Hitler, then Obama is Hitler. Nice logic.

Trump named Time's Person of the Year. So there's another thing he has in common with Hitler

Obama has been extremely authoritarian. I'm no fan of his, though I can't deny that his personal charisma is staggering.Okeefenokee wrote:If deportation makes you Hitler, then Obama is Hitler. Nice logic.
Guantanimo remains open, Americans are still considered 'enemy combatants' at will, and we are still fighting-not-fighting 2-5 "conflicts" across the globe. My health insurance is a sick joke, and the banksters continue to mass-rape the populace at will.
I don't pin all of this on him personally, but he's been the captain for 8 years, and that's where the buck stops. Masterful public speaker. Calming force on the extremes of society. Not a great president.
