    You are expecting too much from people who are simply not intelligent enough to do better.

    By American standards, Hitler was a leftist. Your ignorance is understandable given who you are, but it's not a good look.

    Your logic isn't sound.

    The Third Reich didnt form in one day. The Nazi party didn't invade half of Europe and commit genocide in a day. They slowly accumulated power in a non violent manner with rhetoric and politiking. Their rhetoric often centered around the fear of others, others who weren't ethnic Aryian Germans and how they were over taking the country in terms of demographics. They planted seeds.

    There is a party currently where its more extreme elements headed by the President touts similar rhetoric about "demographic changes".

    It's incredibly niave to assume that if a political entity isn't commiting genocide on day one, that their rhetoric isn't dangerous .

    Some idiot said this? Hitler fought in the streets against the left. Hitler said at one point: "I don't hate Jews. I hate communists. But Jews just tend to be communists."

    Damn, kudos to my ignore list for not seeing such tripe as Hitler being a leftist. Can only imagine some blog somewhere focused on the Nazi acronym as if they understood Weimar Germany suddenly.

    Your "logic" here is pretty hilariously flawed. Hitler was to the right of communists, but to the left of just about all American politics. Being to the right of the absolute most extreme left doesn't mean that you are to the right of people that are to the right....which just about all politicians in American history have been when you look at a political map centered around global standards.

    I mean, it's like saying that Hitler's ideology wasn't a murderous one because the Communists' ideology was even more murderous. Only a simpleton would think that way, they can BOTH be murderous ideologies.....just as they can BOTH be left of American standards.

    Hitler was the quintessential nationalist who despised immigration and other ethnic cultures. That is what made Hitler infamous. Not "nationalized healthcare". Not "gun grabbing". No, his hatred of anything that wasn't Aryan German was why he is famous today.

    There is a party that touts similar rhetoric in terms of fearing "demographic changes".

    An excerpt from Mein Kampf -
    “It was and it is the Jews who bring the Negroes into the Rhineland, always with the same secret thought and clear aim of ruining the hated white race by the necessarily resulting bastardization, throwing it down from its cultural and political height, and himself rising to be its master.”

    I am not saying you are a dumb person. I am not saying you are a smart person. Someone, perhaps of average intelligence as I consider myself.

    How... Why... For what reason...? Would you say something like that without knowing for sure? Do you really believe that? Have you read it somewhere??? Perhaps in a book or even a Meme??!?!?





    Hitler blamed Germany's loss of WWI on Jews & Socialists/Communists/Leftists beating the Germans from within. That is what I read, and the general idea I gathered in books when I was young. If that is the case why the hell would he be a leftist?

    I think everyone on this little debate board should list the last 10 books they read when they read them. The last peer-reviewed study the read or wrote. The last time they set foot in a classroom to learn or teach. Their current net worth and job. Where they have traveled in their life. Where they get their news from. An IQ test score. Their level of education and GPA. These things should give an idea of who you are dealing with on here.

    Also since you were the one that called on this site (i believe) that Trump had a chance to win. Will you tell me why Russia going on sites, and social media platforms in this country really matter? In my humble opinion, a lot of people get their news from f'ing social media or message boards or comment sections on news sites. That is the only way a Russian troll can affect how someone votes. Is it because they're a lot of idiots that think they are informed from those sources and vote accordingly?

    Per Nate Silver today on predictions for the Nov 7th outcome-

    Let this be a sharp reality for Democrats about how hard it is to win elections with the upward battle we face.

    I actually do see enthusiasm up with Republicans as well I might add. Just shows that propaganda works. The left just cannot compete with it and get above all the noise.

    This will be a tough November. If this is the outcome as NateSilver is predicting, expect massive change to the country in 2019/20.

    If it ends up like that, the lesson you should learn is that the move to the extreme left alienated the country as did the scumbag tactics used against Kavanaugh. It's time for the left to move back towards the center and stop embracing radicals, that's how they'll start to win elections again. Until that happens, you'll lose on the issues damn near every time.

    Eh, that's not exactly Nate Silver's prediction for the election. The article shows two drastically different outcomes and how it might play out. Here's the other outcome from the article.

    Just to be clear, Silver didn't actually predict this outcome. He was just laying out different scenarios and analyzing what likely would've happened in each one. Fivethirtyeight has the Democrats at an 85% chance to take back the House right now.
