        Each time I see it I’m never 100% on board

        Duped = it’s intentional?

        I wish horseshoe theory was real. We can go even farther right than this, to literal kingdoms. Countries we often describe as going “too far left” became more hierarchical.

          The horseshoe is absolutely real. Social democracy (like the stuff that candidate proposes) is on the middle, and both sides go out into a corrupt authoritarian government where the elites own everything.

            I’d say it’s more of a fact that there is no single axis political spectrum, and communists are not “further to the left” from democratic socialists, but just more towards authoritarianism.

        This is some real conspiracy theory thinking. This entire article boils down to “I have figured out this secret thing that nobody else, not even the former president or candidates of the Democratic party know about!” It’s all a wild supposition with zero backing evidence, just this one person’s shower thought being passed off as fact.

        Please don’t buy into this level of lizard-people nonsense. It’s not helpful for anyone.

          Well the former president of the united states doesn’t know that Israel is bad either, so knowing something he doesn’t know isn’t very hard.
