It's called the 24/7 news cycle. They need to keep pumping out trash like this otherwise they might not improve their profit margins.

Committing a genocide makes for a good comparison to the nazis.

They should. Israel already has nukes and the western powers haven't done jack shit about it. Why wouldn't Iran get some too?

Just because he's not willing to glaze Thom Yorke's dick or what? I liked them too.

They'd probably play in Nazi Germany too

Yeah she's very opinionated and extremely obnoxious.

Oh, I can't wait for the sympathy piece on Auschwitz guards to drop any day now. They must have seen some very, very, very difficult things too, poor souls.

Oh the paradox of the third party. They're too weak to make a dent, but also the root of all evil. This sounds like fascism to me.

If they're so harmless, then why do you care if a very small portion of the electorate votes for them? After all it won't make a dent, right? :)

If they make such a big dent that the democratic party needs to run smear campaigns against them, then how come they're so harmless and underrepresented?

To me it looks like you have a dysfunctional system. They are popular enough to be voted by a huge chunk of the electorate, thus hurting the big legacy parties, but your system is built in such a way that they end up being underrepresented at the national level.

Because people are clearly unhappy with the democratic party, so there's obviously a market for it. People that would've otherwise stayed home instead of voting for the democrats now have a voice. That's what democracy looks like, at least in most European countries that is. It's fairly normal to see smaller parties pop up that better represent a subsection of the electorate than to see huge monolithic parties that try to encompass everything.

Why don't democrats invest in actually bringing people to their movement instead of wasting their time on shitting on 3rd parties? Let people vote who they want to vote for, and who they feel voices their opinions the best. That's what democracy is at the end of the day.

Bit by bit, Taiwan will be slowly sold off to China once they no longer hold the last thing that made them worthy of Western protection. Of course, there will be some harsh words of condemnation, but that's it. That's my theory. Sad but true.

Then I guess y'all should starting reworking how your system works, because it doesn't sound like a democracy at all if you can't vote for what you actually believe in.
