Actually she is doing what an American is free to do, run for election. There is no regulations in this country that state any political point of view is illegal. Don't like her message, don't vote for her.

You should right reading a history book not written by a right wing fanatic.
I just showed you a direct link between the American progressive movement and the Nazi brutality in Germany.
Yet you keep talking about a dictionary.

The American fascists of the 30's and 40's changed their name to progressive, not I. I was still decades away from being born.

No they didn't.

fascist = progressive.

No it doesn't.

Where did anyone say that she doesn't have the right to run? We as citizens and voters also have the right to inveigh against her ruinous message, don't we? We don't want someone who advocates a ruinous system that has brought poverty and misery wherever it has been tried.

And there also should be a strong constitution and system of checks and balances in place to minimize her destruction.


Sadly America has been ignoring its Constitution.

fascist = progressive.
From which we can assume that FDR, who fought and won a war against European fascism, was not a progressive.

Right?

That was the worst mistake he ever made, and one that today's progressives unanimously condemn.
