Bannon believes in democracy and doesn't want to murder his opponents. Other than that he is a '30s era fascist.

The problem with Godwin's Law is that it didn't anticipate the era we live in.

Well, for starters I would not appoint an unrepentant White nationalist bigot as my "chief advisor and senior counsel". Instead I would focus on uniting ALL Americans of all religions, ethnic and racial backgrounds.

So then unless he appointed a staff full of dems you're gonna be pissing and moaning.

Yeah, kinda what I figured.

So then YOUR answer is "Anyone other than who he has so far".

That's pretty specific.

See you can say that about EVERY pick no matter what.

It's what I've come to expect.

Sounds like more nonsense from someone that gets their news from Facebook.

What else can you expect from a reality tv star who has never even held a political office? And people actually laughed at the thought of Kanye West running for president in the future.

Can someone please post maybe like a youtube video or a substantial article with further details. I am open minded and want the truth, but I am skeptical of main stream media right now.
You trust a YouTube video over the main stream media???

The best way to get the truth is to read/watch a number of articles about a subject in well regarded news outlets, not from some dingbat on the internet. You can weigh the facts for yourself. You can read about Breitbart, where Stephen Bannon was Executive Chairman. If you think Breitbart is a good idea, then you may like Bannon. Also, Wikipedia seems to have a fact based biography of him. Be sure to read all of it, though, because to start out he does have an impressive resume. But he goes downhill when he joins Breitbart.

Personally, I think he's a very scary guy.

I read lots of books, that's why I voted for Gary Johnson instead of Trump despite being a Republican

I normally do not respond to irrational posts but.... Stephen Bannon is white and arguably a nationalist, but white + nationalist does not equal "white nationalist".

And for all the left's faux hysterics about "white nationalist" Stephen Bannon, the racism of BLM and the black nationalist organization, Black Panthers is fully embraced by the left while simply ignoring the violence they inflict on innocent people.

Always the honest broker you should be commended for not jumping to conclusions when you can wear the coat of delusions. Good Job, wear it well.
