I love how in the US getting Hitler elected would just be a matter of having a total of one worse person run for president. Then the Dems would be selling him as the saviour of the working class and minorities.

"What? Third party? You might as well be voting for Hitl... Wait"

It's funny that the Nazi Party was literally the National Socialist Party Of The German Worker.

Of course they were neither Socialist (quite the opposite) nor stood for workers (quite the opposite).

I describe it as "funny" because in the US, the Democrats, whose President has literary said he is a Zionist (I.e. a supporter of the latest variant of the Nazi ideology) operate almost entirely based on the very same principle of claiming to be one thing whilst acting as the opposite.

The very field that allowed Trump to rise with his hypocrite populist speech has long been plowed and fertilized by Democrats relying on sleazy lies and half-truths and turning the Press into their Propaganda Spokesperson to get away with representing their voters less and less: people stopped trusting a certain kind of slick stories and a certain Press promoting misleading statements and deceitful portrayals in a serious tone, which openned the door for the actors politicians doing populist strongmen acts and spewing outright but short and simple lies.

Today's American Political Landscape is a field plowed and sowed by Democrats and harvested by Republicans.

People need to be sharing this video about first past the post more, because if you haven't heard this very specific voting information then any intelligent person would think this was just stupid tribalism:
