I'm sure the Democrats would prefer to forget. The real theme of Sharpton's campaign, never actually stated, was KMA.

I will have to paraphase it. She said, isn't it amazing that a woman and an African-American can be running for President at this time. I thought it was amazing that Hillary didn't remember when that wasn't two people, but one, Shirley Chisholm. Chisholm received more than 150 delegates and lost in 1972 to McGovern.

Those two statements actually mean the same thing, to the Left at least. Betraying your country is the same thing as being fascist. Those that sided with Germany after Germany attacked Russia, were traitors. Those that were traitors in Russia, were fighting for fascism and capitalism, those two being the same thing to the Left. The German Junkers were patriots first and foremost, which is why they didn't try to get rid of Hitler early on. By the time they saw how things were trending, a combination of bad luck and how well entrenched Hitler was in a position of leadership led to the downfall of the Prussian junker and military aristocracy class. This is why you don't see Germany's "army" as being much use on actual battlefields now a days. Naturally, to Leftists and social revolutionaries, the idea that you might subordinate your own opinions of how a country should be run for the good of the country through refusing to undermine or destabilize the leadership, is an idea that is simply unfathomable to revolutionaries whose first instinct is to blow somebody up.
