I don't get the Trump/Hitler correlation. It actually seems kind of shitty and racist TBH.

I agree the Hitler comparison is a bridge too far, but how in the blue fuck is it racist?

It really diminishes the level of terror that Hitler enacted on the Jewish people and it's disrespectful to all the families who have lost relatives and ancestors as a direct result.

At best it's just incredibly insensitive.

shut the fuck up, fuzzy

fuzzy as I have tried to emphasize to you before, there are things you will never understand about race and discrimination as a white person unless you listen to minorities more

every Jewish person on this board and the majority of them in the United States have been schooled at great length about Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. and guess what. we all see the parallels. Your inability to identify the racist scapegoating Trump engages in is a result, I can only assume, of your own poor education. It's not even about Hitler specifically, he just happens to be the ultimate symbol of dictatorship in our world. Every authoritarian leader starts out speaking the way Trump does. You are so focused on disrupting the system you are blind to how the shit he says sounds EXACTLY the same as early Nazi rhetoric. make Germany great again! We've been ruined by liberals! We've been ruined by adherence to science and logic! We've been ruined by multiculturalism!

also don't gentile-splain shit to jews you idiot

I know people who voted Trump because they are anti-abortion. I know many of us disagree with that stance, but I do feel it's different from voting for Trump because you don't like people of other races or sexual orientation.

For these people, Republicans will always get their vote, because the Democrats support abortion.

is that supposed to make it better or....

tell us more about the soup in your community, redbull

do you want to hear about the french onion or the seafood bisque?

people who don't see the differences between the parties just don't do their homework

You're not a cynic, you're just lazy

Well...when you're dealing with stuff like

Mayor resigns after appearing to support a comment referring to First Lady Michelle Obama as "a Ape in heels"

i mean, maybe...yes

Nobody is "for abortion" wtf kind of interpretation

we're for giving women the right to choose because it's no up to the gov to make that decision

if your worldview doesn't take into account any of the issues on which they are starkly different, then I guess I understand why people say this.

this is actually one reason why focusing entirely on economics does not give us as much of a wholistic picture of the world as Marx thought. Forces like racism and misogyny are definitely born out of economics, but they then become independently acting.

on the other side, it becomes an excuse to complain when you are too lazy to know anything about anything

A better parallel is to point to our own history where we put Japanese in internment camps because we were afraid

you haven't read enough books

Here's a heads up

Most leftists are libertarians up until granting no restrictions on property rights

I think both leftists and right wingers are more grossed out by libertarians than they should be. Maybe it's cause they are half of both, and the kinship bothers both groups more than the polar opposite does. I dunno.

Anyway, liberals have squandered opportunities to work with libertarians and build bipartisan coalitions on social issues.

facebook and google now trying to counter fake news stories is like watching a 3-year-old try to put the toothpaste back in the tube

Even if they didn't vote for Trump because they are racist or sexist, they decided racism and sexism isn't a dealbreaker. That's pretty fucked up, no?

i want to hear about all the soups you've implemented together with your community

Poots, doing his part to prove everyone else's points against him.
