      Yes, Trump is a talented politician. He won in 2016. Being able to reach people is a skill that anyone who is involved in politics shouldn't scorn.

      Hitler reached people. Seriously, you think it’s ok to just go on any show as long as it gets you attention? OK, wait, I’m sorry, it’s a Cronkitian show that gives a voice to persecuted geniuses like Alex Jones, Jordan Peterson, & the Proud Boy’s guypic.twitter.com/WDuHhq1nvY

      Bernie had family members that were murdered in the Holocaust, so I'd be cautious with the Nazi analogies.

      I still don't understand why you brought up Hitler in this context. Can you clarify? I'm missing the "logic and rhetoric" behind this move.

      “A has X, which I imply is an inherent virtue” “Z also had X, and since Z is one of the worst people in history, X is obviously not some inherent virtue” Maybe that’s harder to grasp than I thought...

      I think it makes a big difference if the ability to reach people is used in the service of medicare for all or for race war. So I'm puzzled by any logic that ignores that difference.

      1. Hitler was a bad analogy, and Dana should've used a less inflammatory one to make his point more appropriately. 2. Jeet's being purposefully obtuse about a point he very clearly understands. There, you can call an end to the dick measuring contest.

      Believe me, I'm not trying to be purposefully obtuse. I'm genuinely puzzled at how someone can look at a 78 Jewish democratic socialist who lost much of his family in the Holocaust & think his ability to reach people is akin to Hitler.

          It's almost like Dana cares more about the aesthetics of political action than any actual principles determining them.

          Jesus, you really don’t get that it wasn’t about Bernie, that it was about the supposed ability to reach people that I was talking about?

          If I had said Warren has the ability to reach people, I don't think you would've reacted the same way, no.

          Dana is clearly being anti semitic whether that was his intention or not
