Allowing one idiot's uninformed opinion, which someone found click-baity enough to share as "news", is why this country is so fricked.

Like this is why liberals and conservatives think so horribly of each other, because the media finds idiots whose opinions are toxic, pushes them toward mainstream "news" on social media, and people immediately think, "stupid fricking liberals" or "stupid fricking conservatives" when they read something that is SO far outside what 99% of liberals or conservatives actually think.

5 pages because some idiot said something stupid. How many conversations will this lead to around the watercooler, further pushing this shithead's opinion into the mainstream?

Anything to be opposed to Trump. Progs now hate tariffs, want to be involved in Middle East conflicts, and are proVietnam war. Bc Trump.

Except this guy was on TV in England and has a big following. I get what you’re saying but way more than 1% agree with this guy’s politics. Viewpoints like his are becoming mainstream Democrat.

Except this article doesn’t actually show what the OP said. Taking the word “intense” out of context. We don’t even get the full sentence. Nor do we get a quote about harm.

Essentially the article stats that he thinks more time should be spent on practical things. Which is a position that many on the left and right believe in.

What is impractical about learning history? That it might not jive with the progressive brainwashing?

Nobody said it was impractical.

Obviously a product of public schools.

If you're even faintly familiar with the Brexit campaign, you would know that the fact the story originated in the UK doesn't diminish my point. In fact, the fact there are pages about this on an American message board actually reinforces my point.

You've been reading too much clickbait, then. When is the last time you actually sat down with a Democrat and respectfully discussed the issues in real life? Not on a message board, Twitter, FB.....but actually sat down and had a talk about the issues without mentioning party affiliation? If you had, you would know that this article, this "quote", this line of thinking is VERY far outside the mainstream of even far left thought, much less regular old Democrats.

Last week. Loons. No understanding of economics, and can only recite talking points they've read. .

There is no middle in that party anymore. The free thinkers become independent.

The"justice" wing has done to the Democrats what the moral majority did to the Republicans 30 years ago.

You literally just agreed with other things being more practical than learning about one of the biggest events in the last century.

If the proggies are going to call everyone a nazi, don’t you think they should at least know what they are?

No I didn’t. I summarized his viewpoint. Which people here agree with.

I never stated my position

No one suggested they shouldn’t know.

It would help if you read the article. Or continue making a fool of yourself. You seem rather inclined to the latter.
