sundin13 said: To me, the issue is a lot larger than any emboldening of radical individuals or groups (although it is dangerous and a bit hypocritical to use such soft language when denouncing white nationalists). I think the problem is that Trump drives people apart. Not just in an "antifa" vs "nazis" sense, but in a larger sense. America is becoming more divided and more partisan.
I don't agree that the GOP is committing mass genocide, but I also don't really think that conversation is relevant to this discussion... Sanders' rhetoric and Trump's rhetoric are fundamentally different. One is directly encouraging violence while the other is condemning (what he perceives as) immoral political acts. Anyways, I don't really have much else to say. Trump has repeatedly endorsed violence against protestors. In this case, he made a weak condemnation that did nothing to actually demonstrate any ability to lead because someone died and he basically had to. That said, I posted my full comment on the subject above if you want the full context of my opinion outside of this one little microcosm of the debate. |
I don't have the time to reply to all of your comments but I believe Bernie Sanders said that Drumpf is a symptom not the disease that is plaguing America. How in the hell did Americans not vote for Bernie is beyond me
