...did you just compare yourself to the parties that let Hitler come to power? Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 29/02/2020 09:23:08 PM

I would never support Sanders over Trump. I can definitely see that there are parallels in the world/US right now to the Weimar period where the extremes on both left and right are gaining support due to a number of factors. And I consider myself a centrist. As such, who do I think is closer to the center in the US? That would be Trump over Sanders.

I don't think this is the rhetorical win you think it is.

Also, Trump is more of a fascist than Sanders is a leftist. Which is unfortunate on many levels. I'd love to see a real socialist running--one who would advocate for the redistribution of the means of production to workers. But Sanders is a good social democrat, and he'll continue to raise class consciousness in a good way.

Paul, your insistence that President Sanders couldn’t implement any of his agenda is getting tedious damookster - 29/02/2020 12:21:16 AM 262 Views
Oh? Which of the things listed in your post could he do by executive action? *NM* Legolas - 29/02/2020 12:39:16 AM 113 Views

I don't think you understand just how much the executive can do through executive orders The Shrike - 29/02/2020 01:12:29 PM 271 Views
