Context: a diary post about Merkel leasing in German polls again.

If it was my diary I'd ban them.

Astonishing that 12 years after Merkel entered office they finally figure out which party she's a member of.

Of course, chances are that 12 years ago they were 6 years old.

     This kind of #analysis is typical from people who are trying to comment on foreign politics for the first time. I agree with the other posters in this thread that there is probably dumber, but I want to note that these people are good examples of the Dunning-Krueger Effect in action; they comment confidently on something they are completely ignorant of.

Daily Kos users are f**king insufferable, yes. I used to read Daily Kos Elections pretty regularly until Dave Nir started his "Anyone who criticizes Hillary Clinton gets banned" policy, and pretty much purged the site of anyone not mentally stuck in 2005. Kos himself is also a massive idiot.

The last time I checked in the comments section was calling Jeremy Corbyn too radical for the UK and agonizing over him not resigning.

Yeah, there's probably worse somewhere but this is still pretty damn inane.

To be fair, DKE is slowly turning towards being impressed with Corbyn, and making fun of how weak May is.

And primary talk overall is banned, and always has been.

Doesn't stop Dave Nir from launching anti-Bernie attacks.

The last poster actually made sense: Politics is the art of the possible. Which is why the Tories aren't trying to abolish the NHS despite being more right-wing than the Democrats which can't even imagine an American NHS in their wildest dreams.

Agreed, but I doubt that poster meant it that way.
