Holy crap, is the LEFT now beginning to wake up?

[Meister]

Republicans just keep adding to the lies they continue to tell about Democrats, and you continue to repost these lies as "facts".

Like I said, you're a good little minion for a party you can't vote for.
The democrat policies are doing wonders for our nation, aren't they?
It's a lie that Biden left Americans in Afghanistan who wanted out, right? Don't blame Trump for that,
Biden owns it. Don't blame Trump for the energy shortage we have, Biden owns that, too.
You wouldn't know the truth if it bitch slapped you in the face, sweetheart.
Your partisan politics in OUR affairs has blinded you.

You should be bitching about your own Marxist leader, who seems to like a China type of regime.

But, I'll bet you'll vote for him again, and again. Why? That's just who you are.

 

[Harry Dresden]

No, because the right wing media is owned by billionaires who want Republican tax cuts, and left wing media is too busy batting away right wing lies about minorities.

geezus...lol....go back to bed....there is a reason the guy has low approval ratings....yea i know its the right wing media.....

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

But....Clinton was smart enough, common sense, if you will.
There isn't a democrat politician today that has those two qualities.

Because they’re under threat from the Marxist left.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

He was never a Radical, ultraliberal extremist.

If necessary, he would be. If he were president today, you can be sure he would be.

Inflation and midterm history repeating itself will be why Dems lose. But it's a valid point to make that many Dems and independents are frustrated with Repubs being able to obstruct the wishes of the majority. It leaves many feeling democracy isn't working.........because it isn't........in part due to the filibuster.

The filibuster was designed so that the 50.1% can't cram their values down the whole 100%. Getting rid of the filibuster actually takes democracy away and turns us into a democrat socialist republic such as Russia and Venezuela, who have elections where the outcome is already pre-determined. But, they are democracies because people are allowed to vote.

You've posted nothing but FOX News lies here. Democratic policies from 1993 - 2000 save the American economy from the Republican crashes and the costs of the Gulf War. Democratic policies from 2009 to 2016 saved the US economy from W's crash and built the strongest US economy since WWII.

Trump cut taxes, ran up the deficit, and ran the economy into a tree with covid. Now Republicans are poised to stop this Democratic recovery, because they can't stand the idea of Republicans losing power.

The democrat recovery????????????????
We're about in a recession, dear, the mustard is off the dog, sheesh.
By the way, I don't watch Fox, sorry to burst your narrative.
I won't even bring up the cost for a gallon of gas.

 

[Burgermeister]

They are continuing their successful strategy of ridiculous position statement from someone - like AOC's Green New Deal, pooh pooh it as extreme, then start legislating towards it, then when they finally get strong enough pushback, start acting like they are too extreme. By then they have already advanced the ball considerably and are operating from a much better field position.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Politicans always wake up when they believe it's to their political advantage to do so. This is the reason they went down this PC identity politics rabbitt hole to begin with.

That's what democracy is. Politicians respond to what the people tell them. Else they get replaced.

It beats the alternative.

 

[Orangecat]

Speaking what truth?

When you're famous, there are women who will let you grab them by the pussy (both literally and metaphorically) just to be in your orbit. You don't even have to be famous, really, just on a stage performing music, or wealthy enough to be on their radar.

Yes. We call them sham democracies.

 

[Orangecat]

And you continue to parrot them here every day, no matter how often we prove that you're lying. You are the very thing you claim to oppose.

Yep. Women will let themselves be assaulted and abused, because calling it out might mean being ostracized and shamed.

And some people take advantage of this. People of low class and of low ethical andmoral character.

When demofks denounce this asshole I’ll believe it.

 

[berg80]

Yes, I've seen some o that myself, but, in truth, I perceive it (rightly or wrongly) to be Too Little Too Late, at least for the near term.

Let's be clear about something. As much as I agree with the basic premise of the thread, it's not going to have a material impact on the midterms, IMO. They will largely be about the Repub's successful efforts, and the natural inclination of voters generally, to pin inflation (as well as any other problems the nation is facing whether it's his fault or not) on the guy in the WH. No amount of empirical evidence or attempts to inject common sense will prevent Biden (and the Dems by extension) from being blamed.
I view that as a separate issue with whatever soul searching is going on regarding the politics of the fringe.

 

[berg80]

All talking points and lies fed to useful idiots to parrot.

I can certainly understand why you need to believe that but.........

How Many Of Trump’s Supporters Really Are ‘Deplorable’?

In this week’s politics chat, we examine to what extent prejudice is driving support for Donald Trump. The transcript below has been lightly edited. micah (Mica…

It isn't a coincidence people like David Duke, Richard Spencer, the Proud Boys, and the Oath Keepers support Trump.

First, I'm not getting my hopes up, even though I've been screaming about the Left's cynical weaponization of PC and Identity Politics since I've been on this board (and long before). However:

Interestingly, both the CNN and MSNBC morning shows spent time on how or if the American Left has gone too far with its cultural issues. This, after James Carville, Bill Maher, and even recently Hillary Clinton and Van Jones have been beating the drum on this. Even Al freakin' Sharpton said the Dems are moving from "progressive" to "regressive" (a word I've used about a thousand times here).

We're seeing Hispanics give up and move towards the GOP now. November looks like an ass kicking. Are the Democrats beginning to figure it out, are they starting to realize that they've been concentrating on the wrong issues for too long, losing the working class vote over "defund the police", reparations, destroying businesses that don't want to bake a cake, and trans parades in grade schools?

Are they waking up? AND, is it too late, are they too dependent on it and attached to it to fix this?

So much to unpack, here.

The Democrats can focus on their policy platform all day, and it won't necessarily move the base an inch.

So how do you tell millions of Americans that they are going too far, without telling them their concerns are stupid and in the way?

That's the tough part.

"You're an idiot. Vote for me in November."

 

[berg80]

The democrat policies are doing wonders for our nation, aren't they?

Specifically what policy is having what specific effect?

Sure thing, Baghdad Berg. The inflation, shortages, and all the rest of the insanity forced upon us by the actions of your potato messiah are all the Republican's fault.

 

[22lcidw]

I told you the media wasn't liberal. It's certainly not speaking for us. You think it's liberal because it's not always speaking for you?

Most of the time it's not what they are saying but what they aren't saying that makes them NOT liberal anymore. But you'll continue to believe it's only lying to you and always represents us. It's a corporation. Mostly 7 big corporations. They control all the media. And they are helping to pull this country to the right.

Where is the outrage and mobilization of pro choice women? I'm not seeing enough on them. Why isn't the media defending Biden as much as I do?

The traditional family has been devastated over the decades. Social justice groups were the winners. Young people should not get married and have children under this environment.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The traditional family has been devastated over the decades

Yes, no more subjugated women viewed as property. No more undereducated children who have to drop out at 16 to work the farm fields.
