watching #DemDebate after that #GOPDebate is like binge watching Gilmore Girls in the prison infirmary the day after you were gang raped

@jamisonfoser

Rubio: That guy has a small penis.
Trump: I have a huge penis.

Sanders: Let’s not poison people.
Clinton: Yeah, that’s real bad.

Welcome to another episode of “Either One Of These Candidates Are Way Better Than Any Of The Assholes Running On The GOP Line.” #DemDebate

Yes, they truly are, but i completely turned around and support Bernie over Hillary now.

I’m tired of Hillary’s dumb excuse of “i won’t release my speeches unless the republicans do.” She is just saying that because she knows they never will but she isn’t competing against them now. She might as well say she will support gun control when republicans do.

I also don’t believe ANYTHING Hillary says regarding wall street. I’m still going to vote for her because no progress is better than progress in the wrong direction (especially with potential supreme justice seats on the hook), but it is really impossible to get excited for her. At least republican candidates are honest about not giving a shit about the middle class.

I’m thinking bumper stickers.

This is freaking hilarious. Also, accurate.

I do wish Bernie would stop bouncing around and grimacing like somebody farted when other people are talking. It’s uncivil. But it’s nothing like the shitflinging and fistfights on the GOP side.

If she releases the speeches, they’ll dominate the news cycle for days. That’s all we’ll hear, “Next on CNN, what was hidden in those $600,000 speeches?” “After the break, we reveal what Hillary said in those secret meetings on Wall Street!”

There won’t be anything in there. She wasn’t making speeches in a crowded room snickering about how Wall Street got away with economic murder. But that’s not the point. She just doesn’t want the news cycle to all “Hillary + Wall Street” for multiple days, not when she’s currently on track to wrap this thing up by the end of the month.

She’s winning handily. Now is not the time to take chances.

More or less my feelings.

Listen, I know some people here, particularly Trig, find Hillary to be a positive candidate to vote for. I simply do not share that opinion. While I would absolutely vote for her over any of the Republicans, that is more a reflection on my distaste for them then an appreciation of Hillary. She is certainly capable, and experienced, no doubt. But for me, above almost any other considerations, is the deepening of links to Wall Street. Things like ‘too big to fail’ make me sick, and the complete absence of any true penalties and jail time for various persons involved with the financial crisis is an abortion of justice.

This is not to say I fully agree with Bernie on every stance, or that there aren’t things I feel Hillary is more correct on. I just simply am of the opinion that the continuing function of our country as a Democracy will involve, at some point soon, breaking the power of the financial controllers. We are trending the wrong way, and Hillary represents this continuing march towards Oligarchy.

All of these debates ask candidates questions in their wheelhouses. Dems get infrastructure Q’s, Repubs get questions about baby hands.

Someone who worked at Wall Street had a video of one of Bill Clinton’s 200k speeches that took place at this bank. I can’t dig up the link, it was just a reddit coment. I checked it out and it was 20 minute town meeting kind of thing, and super bland. He said it was basically an excuse for them to get their richest clients to come in and meet them and for the bank to sell them 25 million dollar deals or whatever. The interesting thing is that the speech was like 50x profitable for them. For whatever reason, clients were way more likely to handover millions for them to manage after they had shook hands or even asked a question to their hero.

That’s fine, but I bet Hillary’s speeches were all of her suggesting they turn the water cannons on Occupy protestors, because her chromosomes match.

I just wish that somehow I could find out how triggercut feels about Hillary and her treatment in the media.

“It was pretty glowing about us,” one person who watched the event said. “It’s so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. It was like a rah-rah speech. She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director.”

I saw a better quote somewhere saying pretty much the same thing but I couldn’t find it.

I wonder what war she would be interested in? Obviously Trump wants war with mexico, so that is a given thing (it’s also close to america so a good strategic land grab, like Saddam and Kuwait back in the day), but Hillary…i’m sort of looking over my globe, spinning it around asking myself the question ‘So who really pissed her off at some time?’. She seems a very vengeful kind of lady, and war is obviously good for the economy…

We all had a good laugh about this, but if you were in a crowded hall and asked to raise your hand for free pizza, how would you raise your hand?

Blue shirt isn’t silly and hedging his bets. Red shirt on the left is pointing up. The guy in the grey looks pretty near but no ones really doing a salute as demonstrated by the pledge of allegiance picture.

I’m finding trivialising 40m deaths because of National Socialism due to endless Hitler accusations has been pretty poor form in the primaries so far but I don’t mind playing Let’s Call Him Hitler. Let’s see how many come to close to his speeches and intended policies so far.

Bit of 5 and 8 - yup, Trump has gone there.
23-25 - he doesn’t like the press either.

Possibly it, but further suggestions are welcomed.

In there is nationalisation of all industries, healthcare (for mothers and children at minimum, something that could be construed as a working wage, death to bankers and a host of incompatible with America.

[ol]
[li]We demand the unification of all Germans in the Greater Germany on the basis of the people’s right to self-determination.
[/li][li]We demand equality of rights for the German people in respect to the other nations; abrogation of the peace treaties of Versailles and St. Germain.
[/li][li]We demand land and territory (colonies) for the sustenance of our people, and colonization for our surplus population.
[/li][li]Only a member of the race can be a citizen. A member of the race can only be one who is of German blood, without consideration of creed. Consequently no Jew can be a member of the race.
[/li][li]Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Germany only as a guest, and must be under the authority of legislation for foreigners.
[/li][li]The right to determine matters concerning administration and law belongs only to the citizen. Therefore we demand that every public office, of any sort whatsoever, whether in the Reich, the county or municipality, be filled only by citizens. We combat the corrupting parliamentary economy, office-holding only according to party inclinations without consideration of character or abilities.
[/li][li]We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens. If it is impossible to sustain the total population of the State, then the members of foreign nations (non-citizens) are to be expelled from the Reich.
[/li][li]Any further immigration of non-citizens is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans, who have immigrated to Germany since 2 August 1914, be forced immediately to leave the Reich.
[/li][li]All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.
[/li][li]The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all. Consequently we demand:
[/li][li]Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. Breaking of debt (interest)-slavery.
[/li][li]In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.
[/li][li]We demand the nationalisation of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).
[/li][li]We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
[/li][li]We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
[/li][li]We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.
[/li][li]We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on land and prevention of all speculation in land.
[/li][li]We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, profiteers and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race.
[/li][li]We demand substitution of a German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world-order.
[/li][li]The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school [Staatsbürgerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.
[/li][li]The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child-labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.
[/li][li]We demand abolition of the mercenary troops and formation of a national army.
[/li][li]We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press. In order to enable the provision of a German press, we demand, that:
[/li][li]a. All writers and employees of the newspapers appearing in the German language be members of the race;
[/li][li]b. Non-German newspapers be required to have the express permission of the State to be published. They may not be printed in the German language;
[/li][li]c. Non-Germans are forbidden by law any financial interest in German publications, or any influence on them, and as punishment for violations the closing of such a publication as well as the immediate expulsion from the Reich of the non-German concerned. Publications which are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. We demand legal prosecution of artistic and literary forms which exert a destructive influence on our national life, and the closure of organizations opposing the above made demands.
[/li][li]We demand freedom of religion for all religious denominations within the state so long as they do not endanger its existence or oppose the moral senses of the Germanic race. The Party as such advocates the standpoint of a positive Christianity without binding itself confessionally to any one denomination. It combats the Jewish-materialistic spirit within and around us, and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our nation can only succeed from within on the framework: The good of the state before the good of the individual.[9]
[/li][li]For the execution of all of this we demand the formation of a strong central power in the Reich. Unlimited authority of the central parliament over the whole Reich and its organizations in general. The forming of state and profession chambers for the execution of the laws made by the Reich within the various states of the confederation. The leaders of the Party promise, if necessary by sacrificing their own lives, to support by the execution of the points set forth above without consideration
[/li][/ol]

Further comparisons are welcomed, and the question can be answered, Is Trump Hitler?

Look at the dude in the lower left that does a hard Seig Heil. There are plenty more in the shot doing it. A bunch of them are also raising their hands normally or even slowly because everyone else is. But there are plenty in that shot that know exactly what they mean when they throw up that arm and are very happy to get to do it.

And Trump is far closer to Mussolini than Hitler in many respects imo.

Yeah, the video was something wasn’t it, but its a fact that all over the media and social media, nigh on everyone under 30 is going “literally Hitler!”, so I’d like to understand where its coming from.

Probably the fact that Trump is literally running on a platform of racist/xenophobic fascism.
Not figuratively, but literally.

Everyone knows Trump is not Hitler. He’s really channeling Mussolini.

But interesting that you link the 25 point plan, it makes Trump look very similar to Hitler in that his plans are 90% nonsense.

Trump look very similar to Hitler in that his plans are 90% nonsense.

Well, he is running as a republican, so he has to at least pretend to have similar policies.
