I never said that he wants you or I killed. I said that he would prefer we be killed at worst and discriminated against at best rather than vote for AOC.
don't get me wrong, I am not defending him on this one at all. I find it hard to believe any rational, somewhat intelligent human being (and I do think all3 is somewhat intelligent) can say they would vote for David Duke over AOC because some democrats have (what he considers) somewhat radical ideas (which would probably never get passed by both the senate and the house anyway).
"Some" Democrat extremists wouldn't scare me. Thing is, I don't think it's just "some" any more. People like coreander (see his AOC thread) are flocking to AOC and her Crew. If that doesn't scare you, for the ENTIRE Country, it should.
The though of Duke even being a candidate for POTUS sickens me as much as it does any of you, but he, or any other ___ist (race, sex, whatever) would only ruin part of the Country, while (I feel) AOC and/or the like would ruin everyone.
You may not understand that line of thinking, or agree with it, but that's OK. I think we all (well, except coreander) agree we hope to never get anywhere even close to that point.
coreander's AOC thread has only 7 response. Not sure I would call that "flocking to her". Personally, I'd much rather have a president who is in favor of free healthcare and education than a racist hate monger as president. Also, its pretty obvious that a Duke candidacy for POTUS does not sicken you as much as it does me. I can't think of any circumstances in which I would vote For David Duke for anything, let alone POTUS. You already said you would vote for him over AOC. I may not agree with all of her positions, but I would vote for her over Duke without even having to think about it. The fact that you said you would not, that is what scares me. How many others would vote for Duke (or Trump, for that matter) because some democrat ideas scare them?
