Sanders is the worst political candidate that has had a chance at a major party nomination. Tom Send a noteboard - 01/03/2020 02:04:57 PM

He shouldn't have gotten to where he has gotten. By way of comparison, everyone calling Trump a "fascist" shows they know as little of world history about fascism as they do about communism. Even so, if Trump were a fascist, to be as bad as Bernie he would have to say things like:

"20 years ago every fascist was talking about Nazi Germany. When we talk about fascism, we're not talking about Nazi Germany. We're talking about Pinochet."

"Well, yes, I did praise Hitler, but you have to look at the autobahns he built and the way he eliminated unemployment. That meant a lot to a lot of Germans."

"All these people pointing to Nazi Germany are talking about an aberration. We all know true fascism has never been properly implemented."

"I'm not a fascist, I'm a democratic fascist."

"Democratic fascism isn't about state control of everything. It's about taking care of the People so that they can build things and achieve."

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Paul, your insistence that President Sanders couldn’t implement any of his agenda is getting tedious damookster - 29/02/2020 12:21:16 AM 250 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 109 Views
