Socialist democracy is a thing in Europe. And yeah, they're having issues, but as far as I can tell, UK is mostly alright, and meanwhile there's a distinct possible of Trump being in charge of nuclear weapons.
Our socialist candidate just destroyed our entire left-wing and has conducted about 3 purges of moderates from 2015-2016 whilst maintaining the Paris attacks were justified retaliation by ISIS, he also wants to destroy our nuclear arsenal, give the Falklands to Argentina and scrap our blue water navy whilst reducing our armed forces to the territorial (even including our minesweepers for some reason), and Vladimir Putin likes him very much :

I want you to think about that for a second. Just put your response on pause, I promise I'll still read it, but just take a second and think about Donald Trump having access and control of our country's nuclear arsenal.
If that doesn't scare you shitless, you are a more optimistic individual than I.
If the notion of Trump being in charge of nuclear weapons scares you, you should get into Israeli and Pakistani politics. Well gud
Heck, you should jump into the nuclear armaments of everyone more often. Consider Putin making casual reminders that he could vaporize Murrica or RN Captains not needing permission from anyone to deploy missiles. DO YOU FEEL SAFER? :

Okay fine, I am going to call Bernie Sanders a racist in every post from here to november. Apparently that is the behavior that people want to see.
And of course it's not surprising, seeing as they support famed racist Bernie Sanders.
This whole election has been precious
I've seen white liberals calling the black race illiterate idiots for not voting in "their" "racial interest" by butt blasting Bernie bros and calling Latin Americans self-hating race traitors for voting Trump against "their" "racial interest", one of the best ones was on reddit where some precious college kid was seething with venom at the possibility of black voters giving Trump any power - truly, I was moistened, moistened by the prospect, moistened by the showing of true colours.
Basically stop being racists and treating people high up on the progressive stack as racial inferiors to be commanded in their best interest at hearts, truly. I mean you don't even pretend to be talking about one another as Americans, nah you're supposed to be putting race against race, religion against religion. MOISTURIZE ME ALREADY
"My skin doesn't define everything about me - I have other preferences, too", and "Fuck people telling me who I'm supposed to like because I'm black".

In the UK we did this sort of politics in our general election, it was the culmination of our left-wing (back then they were left-centre) progressive party's 15 year plan to replace their working class support with black, asian (Indian-subcontinentals, not east asians), minority and ethnic (just anything not covered by black or asian that's not British) votes. Labour made the assumption that the party that appealed to identity politics, that treated people not as individuals, but cogs of a greater racial machine would win their support no matter what. They were crushed so heavily in the general election by a centre-right party that wanted to curb immigration that campaigned on the basis of better economy, more jobs. This is because people don't think in terms of racial blocs, that's not how minorities think. If there's any europol crossposters here you'll note I am the most vocal critic of immigration and I was born fresh off boat, with cultural enrichment in my skin - yet white liberals cannot fathom why I would be opposed to mass immigration "from your people." Point being is this politics failed so hard that Labour, our traditional left-wing party which has existed since the start of the 20th century, dropped their working class support, dropped their culturally enriched support, and all that was left were crazy left-wing SJW students who don't understand politics is about building up, not destroying everyone who disagrees with you. It's been zero days since the last sexism row, zero days since the last time our crazy socialist called out "dissidents", 2 days since the last antisemitism row, three days since the last public row within the party and one month since the last public mass resignation.
If you play this sort of politic that only caters to rich white liberal college students you're going to hand the world to Clinton or Trump ez pz, and that's what we're seeing now.
DREAM TEAM REAM THE SEAMS
The whole "Hilary/Bernie is SJW" conversation seems oddly prescient now that this thing is flooding my facebook page. TIL white people cannot be poor and that $CURRENTYEAR.
