You comment assumes that Democrats and Republicans can deploy the same tactics to the same effect. Generally speaking: Republican voters want those representing them to stop what the Democrats want to do. Democratic voters want their representatives to accomplish things of value, or at least attempt to do so. If we

Ahh yes, the people who call themselves Marxists are not real Marxists. Glad you’re the gatekeeper to Marxism. Even though every time a country has said they are organizing themselves according to the tenets of Marxism, brutality always follows. But obviously these people who came before must just be dumb brutes, but

Nobody knows how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory like the Democratic party.

You proved my point. I’m no fan of Trump, but clearly if your life is fine he isn’t destroying the country. You can’t possibly seriously hold those two beliefs simultaneously in your head and believe them both to be true. You’re so wrapped up in your hyperbolic Trump Derangement Syndrome that you can’t even accept

And here we see the first glimmers of how the left will begin to eat their own. Dems will break into two camps, impeach vs vote in 2020, spend the next year and a half beating each other to death over ideology vs pragmatism, alienate all but the most partisan voters among them, never reconcile, and lose the presidency

I have a secret to tell you: Even back when the top tax rate was 90%, nobody actually paid this tax rate. If you think this will be any different, there’s a lovely bridge in Brooklyn you should check out, it’s priced to move!

That’s only because of the dollar being the world reserve currency, it’s in everyone’s interest to basically ignore anything we do that would be hyperinflationary any place else.

No... it recognizes that income inequality is a necessary evil of any system where people have different levels of ability. Things will always end up unequal, and that’s bad, so we should definitely talk to each other and figure out how to mitigate that so people don’t stack up at the bottom. You cannot enforce

Having to go all the way back to the 2nd person ever to be elected president to find someone you can’t find anything objectionable about (he did sign the Alien and Sedition Acts btw, which are something Trump would love to be able to enact today) doesn’t exactly help your argument much.

And yet look at all the people who have been elected POTUS. None of them come anywhere close to being squeaky clean. So clearly that’s not a realistic requirement.

Did they physically build it? No. Did they assume the vast majority of financial risk? Umm, yeah, duh. The UFCW would have a lot of members standing around holding their dicks if there weren’t bankers, Wall Street, and CEOs. But hey, it’s the hip thing to hate the rich right?

The very few cases where Americans did defect to Marxist countries, it has usually been because they had access to some information and were bribed with money and privilege. But you’re right, nobody flees capitalist countries to go live under the yoke of communist or Marxist rule.

Yes, you’re absolutely right, having a president who is dumb and lies about dumb things is definitely worse than a medieval fantasy world where you can get fed to dogs, have your dick chopped off, or get executed for being too principled. 

Which if you hired a lawyer, even if you were 100% innocent, they would tell you that’s a stupid idea because even if they don’t find something to get you on related to the murder, they’d probably find something else.

Ohhh... I get it now. You’re just deluded. Nobody as left as you can possibly be left, therefore they’re all right wing.

I had literally forgot Rick Perry was part of this administration until right now. I guess the plus side of that is that he hasn’t actually accomplished anything horrible?

Yeah I think the issue is, do you separate right wing from conservative? Most people would probably say no they don’t, and I think that’s where you’d say that there’s no way Me Too is a right wing movement. But if you are attempting to use “right wing” as a synonym for shutting people down and censorship, and by

Living: Vladimir Putin, General Butt Naked, Richard Spencer

I think, as best as I understand it, they are making the argument that in as much as the Me Too movement has fascist tendencies, and fascism is traditionally associated with the right, Me Too could in a way be considered a right wing movement in that regard. I don’t necessarily agree given the propensity for those on
