Democrat 2020

[Montmorency]

Your entire post is too long for me to even read right now, maybe later.

But to what you wrote there: In Germany we don't jail people for smoking joints, in Germany we have much cheaper higher education, In Germany we have a better healthcare system, we have better unemployment benefits, we don't have any politicians calling for rebuilding the Westwall and we have people telling us we should be more like the US and people who already made some of our policies more like the US.

So even if we forget that this topic is about the next democrat candidate and not the next SPD candidate (they don't have any good ones anyway), shaping US politics is important, because Germany is copying the empire anyway, though usually with a considerable time lag depending on the topic. No taxation without representation.

So, Euroweenies kick back while the Americans save the day? Will do.

The arrogance of suggestions like this make me want to abstain out of spite, but I won't. The Democrats were defeated by Trump, who should have been a joke. I think now is the time to play it safe.

Lot of odd premises that could use expansion here.

Trump is not a joke. He is what the Republican voter wanted. Arrogance is believing that a party you aren't (I assume) part of should automatically share your values and proceed from them to rejecting Trump.

Clinton was the safe bet.
