So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I’m not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

      Yes, and that was because the people wanted Gary Hart, but the DNC decided to install Dukakis instead.

      Exactly like Hilary/Bernie, except at least for Gary Hart, there was some drama in the news to pin the decision on. For Hilary/Bernie, it was simply that Hilary is one of the overlords in the DNC.

      So you are just highlighting a great point where the DNC didn’t listen to their constituents and paid the price. Good conscientious liberals refused to vote for the “lesser evil”. They wanted their solid candidate to vote for.

      It motivated the Democrats to get strong on climate, social service, and fighting AGAINST genocide, and that’s how we got the Clinton/Gore years (some of the best years in moderate history).

      It worked. We saw actual improvement. Then we got complacent again and Democrats are now funding genocide.

      Time to do it again.

      Argument perfectly in-tact if not stronger.

        First, Clinton and Gore weren’t abnormally strong in climate change or genocide.

        Second, That’s not a good strategy when the Republican candidate is quoting Hitler and saying he’s going to install concentration camps.

          You’re just fucking with me now.

          Gore has always been one of the strongest leaders in the effort to combat climate change and Clinton literally brought the Croation genocide to a halt by DEFENDING the Croatians and ATTACKING Serbs and Bosnians.

          Your “but he’s Hitler!” Lost all its punch when Biden went genocidal.

          Who needs the concentration camps when you just fund the bombing of schools and hospitals?

          Seriously. Learn to see 2 feet past your nose. Stop sucking your owners dick. Educate yourself.

          Again. Don’t support fascists. It’s not that hard to wrap your brain around. Scroll up to see a documented instance in moderate history where the tactic worked.
