But even progressive people will try to claim that there is a left leaning presence in American politics! And there’s not! Lol

I met Joe Strummer in 1986 when he was playing with The Pogues in Toronto. A genuinely nice guy. He was known for giving tickets and backstage passes to his shows to fans he would meet on the street.

Yeah we kinda walked right into that one. Republicans are like, Oh really? You’re going to just let us have the low road? Sweet.

What a destructive practice. And it’s like letting a genie out of the bottle too because how do you get both sides to stop it? And how do you get all the gerrymandered districts back to something reasonable? Especially when you’re dealing with the nihilistic cult that the GOP has become.

K thanks for explaining. It’s weird for me as a Canadian to hear universal healthcare described as socialist. There is nothing socialist about Canada. We have universal healthcare simply because we believe the decent thing to do is remove the profit motive from medicine and make sure nobody has to worry about being…

Word. I like it.

That would be nice. Personally I dream about all of them going to prison. :)

Jesus. Why would anyone disclose their salary?? Yes it will attract the wrong kind of attention but it will also turn off people who find it tacky to talk about money.

The progressive movement acting locally is NOT co-opting Tea Party tactics. Acting locally is traditionally a progressive tool. Unfortunately the progressive movement has gotten away from it and the Tea Party moved right in and co-opted it themselves.

So I didn’t see Sanders mentioning collectivism or anything even close to that in his platform. What exactly did his platform include that you believe is leftist. And wow you’re even saying he was extremely leftist. So that’s like full on communism. So please explain, what was communist in his platform?

What is left wing about the California govt? Which policies?

I’m really curious about where Americans see anything resembling even moderate leftist ideology in any of their parties platforms. The entire political discourse has been pulled relentlessly to the right for many decades now. What you now call leftist is known as centrist or moderate right in pretty much every other…

Do the Dems have a strategy to fix this? Why do Dem strategists always seem to be reacting to GOP bs? Can’t they come up with some effective ideas and put the GOP on the defensive?

The thing is, it’s not so much an obsession as it is programming. Trump’s supporters have more in common with cult members than they do ordinary biased voters. They have been given the responses that they are to use in every situation. If they have no other response that will work they simply accuse you of being…

Let’s just say you are quite obvious and heavy handed, also very common Russki troll attributes. ;)

Do the Dems gerrymander too? It seems like it really is always the GOP that does it.

Lol. Easy big fella. You don’t have to instantly roll over and play the victim. You can say whatever you like obviously. But you have the exact same talking points as a Ruski troll which is interesting. ;)

Yeah that and, who the hell do they think they are??

Wow, you’re 11 years old.

“How much did Soros pay you for writing this crap?”
