US politics is a hoot to me as a Norwegian because every time I see Bernie Sanders, I see a hawkish moderate a bit too keen on war, and every time I see any other prominent politician I see someone who's escaped from the local asylum and everyone is interviewing for some reason.

Israel massacres another wave of demonstrators: Bernie Sanders: *both sides boilerplate* US senator interviewed on live television: "It was the Hamas. They did the bad thing. Also, we need to bomb Iran. It's their fault. Did I say Russia was behind this? Russia was behind this."

School massacre occurs, victims protesting: US congressperson: "These kids ought to show a bit more gratitude to this GREAT NATION where other people have the freedom to shoot them. Also, let's get some cops who definitely don't murder people all the time to guard our schools."

US politics is so batshit insane, the "moderate" position is only a short slide away from advocating ethnic cleansing (as it has done before, many times).
