In case it wasn't clear what I was asking about, Sanders claims to have lost family to the Holocaust, which to me doesn't sound as denial.
The fact that America doesn't really practice democracy while simultaneously trying to force it on others is shitty (but also wasn't the question).
I lost family to the American Holocaust.

I can post wikipedia articles as well
The word holocaust has a pretty specific event related to it. If you say "genocide denier" we would be on the same page.
I can see why people don't federate with this instance
Go to reddit, klanner scum
Just so we are on the same page - you people are getting angry because I am using a word the way the rest of the world uses it. The sentiment here seems to be that Bernie Sanders is the best option on the left, but you hope he dies, because only having worse people would be better I guess? I have agreed with the point that he has glossed over genocide in America... and yet everything I've said is being downvoted, and I'm now a "klanner".
Again, I can see why people don't like federating with lemmy.ml. It seems like a decent portion of people here are edgy contrarians just for the sake of it.
PS - you are arguing on the side of X ~~users~~ moderators, that should tell you something about yourself.
Liberals are white supremacists, they are all irredeemably evil
They say "muh civility" while doing mass murder
Edit: oh and they all lie about the holocaust too
