In a two party system, either one wins, or the other, which means for the Democrats to win, mathematically, all they need to be is slightly better than Trump, and so, they constantly run candidates that are horrible, but not quite as bad, this maximising corporate donations while staying in office.

…So, then, running a socialist would take votes away from Trump, no?

If anything, I’d say that makes it even more glaring.

ITT: Americans once again diging up the nuanced difference between the people and the government from the memory hole they dumped it in the last time Russia was mentioned.

“First as a tragedy, then as a farce”

This is Juan Guaido erasure!

“Fascism arises from the collapse of legitimacy of liberal institutions”

They should just give the next one to Kissinger, posthumously. Just drive the point home.

They don’t consider those people “America”.
