The ironic thing is if the Republican Party were even remotely interested in making Bernie's nightmares come true I might be persuaded to don a hazmat suit and vote Republican.
But, believing that is much like thinking the Detroit Lions have a shot at going to the Super Bowl this season. Bernie didn't even address the main reasons no one should vote Republican for anything.
I'm not saying vote Democrat, but I can't imagine the Montana-sized sheet of LSD I'd have to eat to believe voting Republican would accomplish anything close to what Bernie fears.
If DeSantis knows what's best for him, he'll limit his political ambitions to Florida. But of course, he doesn't, and he won't. I feel bad that Trump will have to "break him".
\\Blogger Joe Conservative said... Politics is a distraction to keep anything from ever changing...
Is it conservatives motto? ;-)
Well, I devised a question to ask. To deepen my understanding of your Rep/Dem division... maybe that way I could be able to say something about your inner politics, instead of plain and boring NMP.
There is two movies. With similar synopsis. And loaded with realities an even ideals of USA (well, as I see it... but, who knows).
That is "Happy Gilmore" and "The Legend of Bagger Vance".
As I understand it. Former was like a parody to a later. As later was dear to R-conservatives?
I can see fun in watching both... but, obviously, I cannot understand feelings of an Ams about it.
\\I enjoyed them both. I especially enjoyed how the latter film also reveals how Hollywood liberals really feal about black people...
Even if they are... they have perfect excuse -- that is how it was in that time. ;-P
So, what can you say about relations with black... ehm, afroamericans of course, in that seminal "Gone with a wind"? Do you like it better? Do R-people like it better? ;-)
Gone with the Wind? I have no idea, I can only speak for myself. I haven't seen it for many years, but I don't think I was ever able to get through it from start to finish.... as my misogyny always got in the way. I didn't give a cr*p about whatever happened to Scarlet O'Hara or her "Tara". I didn't identify particularly well with "rich women", but didn't think having servants black/ white/ brown was odd or unusual, as we always had them when we lived overseas (Spain/ Venezuela). And "making fun of the help" and "the masters" has been around since before Commedia dell Arte (ala Aristophanes).
Rich people have both (R)s and (D)s after their names.... but it's usually only the (D)s that obsess over power/ skin colour differences.
@beamish - Bill Cosby will always be a hero to me. So yeah, call me a misogynist all you want. I'm not one to obsess over power and/or sex differences, either.
No, I don't blame you... but I've been called a racist since day 1. There are maybe 20,000 actual white racists in this country. But that's all there are. The Democrats condemn the rest of the race on account of their own long and storied history of racism.
Well, politics is always about saddling of narrative.
So they made fine horse for themself from narrative of (opposing to) racism and misoginism, and all of such social injustices.
Question is... what fine horse is under Reps? Dead one? ;-P This is real one question. As I (and I suggest most people in the world) understand idology of Dems: they are pro people's justice, pro equality and human dignity and pro better future for us all... Well, maybe that is hypocritical, as it always is with politicians, but from such a distant perspective there seems like nothing to oppose to. While idology of Reps is like total mystery. For me, for very least.
Yep... the (R)'s like beamish are for the dead horse of corporate globalism, the same one that the (D) leadership is trying to spur-on and whip back to life. They both love to pretend that the money they print is worth something, and the answer to every problem is simply to print more to pay more for it. All they've done is ban Reality and keep him from crashing their never-ending party. The world, much like the internet itself has become their hyper-real imaginary safespace.
You misjudge me. I haven't voted for a Republican in a good 10 to 12 years. I've never voted for a Democrat. There are still a lot of Republicans squandering the opportunity to tell Trump supporters to fuck off that need to be removed from politics for said squandering.
Anti-globalism is weak sauce. It's like wishing for the death of someone already on their death bed, in the sense that globalism is on the way out anyway, and something new will replace it, either the fire sale of "nationalists" and their petty border disputes and map redrawing or a new globalism that still obeys the commands of the US, the unquestionable greatness of America will continue whether the world starves and kills itself or not. The resources of the world will continue to be available even if we have to reduce the number of non-Americans sitting on it. In fifty years when Russians and Chinese will have to ride their oxcarts for days to encounter another Russian or Chinese, they will pass oil wells and natural gas fracking sites manned, run, and owned by Americans. It's not like these people are going to build a civilization any time soon. If they're lucky, they will be moved to reservations and allowed to build casinos.
\\and the answer to every problem is simply to print more to pay more for it.
Yep. Because they are Socialists. But. Who are you (I mean Republicans) then? Another word. What is your POSITIVE program??? Or for at least populistic facade. Something you can buy votes with. And recognition and support abroad. Which would exacebrate your support within. Or that is ONLY about gerrymandering all way down? ;-P
Nigero. You are completely busted yourself as that said product of KGB cathacombs vivsection experiments. That set of cliches and bullshit memes... that is exactly how that KGB teachers that never was in a free world, or even on a fresh air maybe, could imagine to themself HOW Real American should think and talk. :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Yep. Watching that how water flowing, how fire burns... how Trump trying to... what exactly he doing, and for what? Seems like that is "process in itself".
All the talk of a "red wave" trickled to a wisp. Republicans performed much worse than even Democrat pollsters expected. But hey, at least a defenseless old man got hit in the head with a hammer. That counts for something, doesn't it?
And well... os it REALLY billion dollar "empire"? And not just a scam which want to dazzle your eyes with look of "billion dollar privately held empire".
Well, building such a scam is deed too. :-))))
So, you just bought what you choose -- why so unhappy?
"Communists"... people who think that they represent "the Commons" (like Planet Earth, the air, the water, the land), the Internet, and think they can "administer" it.
And how they are dangerous? They even cannot agree in between themself -- what to do.
And even less of having guts to make somebody else do something.
RealWorld Historical Commies -- that is just organaized criminal group... at the help of government. They can "administer" whoever and however they like. Heard something about Gulag? Or about Pol Pot? Mao's Leap Ahead?
lol! You don't know how democracy or capitalism works. You obey the squeeky wheel hippies, or they cancel you. It's called "cultural capitalism". It rules because of boycotts, and the corporate fear of getting boycotted. Herds of zebras, all.

ReplyDeleteThis Bernie video is timeless. He could have released this during every mid-term election since 1990 without changing a word.
ReplyDeleteHe's a George McGovern re-boot. I can't wait for the sequel... in the Marvel Universe though, not this one.
ReplyDeleteHe'll just phone it in again.
ReplyDeleteThe guy is Biden's age. He should have retired 15 years ago.
ReplyDeleteDotard donald should have retired 6 years ago. Now he should retire to prison.
ReplyDeleteIn which Universe, Bizarro?
ReplyDeleteDerpy! Where have you been?
ReplyDeleteI think the only thing we have to worry about is that Trump might badmouth DeSantis enough to deliver a landslide victory for him.
(That is if Trump can tweet from prison and embraces his newfound reverse psychology powers)
ReplyDeleteIf DeSantis knows what's best for him, he'll limit his political ambitions to Florida. But of course, he doesn't, and he won't. I feel bad that Trump will have to "break him".
ReplyDeleteTrumpism has lost three elections in a row. Even Republicans know when a hint is punching them in the nose eventually.

ReplyDelete\\Rich people have both (R)s and (D)s after their names.... but it's usually only the (D)s that obsess over power/ skin colour differences.

"Make America Great Again"
ReplyDeleteAgain? When did America stop being great you unpatriotic far-left pieces of shit?
Nope, I'm not a Republican. I don't hate America enough to vote that way.

Beamish, there's a reason why the Republican establishment has teamed with Democrats to rid the country of Trump, and it's not to save it, or the world, for Americans. They're so fat and corrupt, they make Nero look like a piker.
ReplyDeleteTrump's program is simple, Q. He'll "drain the swamp" and kill of the beltway creatures who have flourished there.
...and that includes most of your Ukrainian leaders as well.
ReplyDeleteThe ones who give kickbacks to all the American Senators who provide all your "aid".
ReplyDelete...and the son of a sitting President.
ReplyDelete\\Trump's program is simple, Q. He'll "drain the swamp" and kill of the beltway creatures who have flourished there.
ReplyDeleteI am not one of Ams, for such slogans would work on me. ;-)
Well, as I said. Dead horse.
He tryed.
And he failed.
That swamp drained him first. ;-P
Is our imbecilic acolyte Q(ueer) trying to address me with a misspelled racial epithet? LOL
ReplyDeleteIdiot. As always. Next question.
ReplyDeleteThat swamp drained him first. ;-P
ReplyDeleteYou win some, you lose some. Even Trump was too naive.
You think he is someone who can self-improve? Learn from his errs? And not like TC/Nigero who clearly can't.
ReplyDeleteWell, sorry for my shallow interest here. ALAS NMP.
Trump, self-improve?
ReplyDeleteProbably not. But then he is a person well disposed to failing, and the failing again, but better. There's a lot to be said for persistence.
Persistance in game where mere chance to participate emerges once in 4 year... ;-)))
ReplyDeleteGood luck to him.
But I on his place better started buying lottery tickets.
We all have our hobbies... ;)
ReplyDeleteYep.
ReplyDeleteWatching that how water flowing, how fire burns... how Trump trying to... what exactly he doing, and for what?
Seems like that is "process in itself".
All the talk of a "red wave" trickled to a wisp. Republicans performed much worse than even Democrat pollsters expected. But hey, at least a defenseless old man got hit in the head with a hammer. That counts for something, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteHey ballot harvesting works. It's a lot easier than trying to convince a voter to vote.
ReplyDelete\\But hey, at least a defenseless old man got hit in the head with a hammer. That counts for something, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteWell, they actually KILL people... with a sledge-hammer, in Mother Rusha.
So, USA have space to grow. (dark humor, yeah)
\\Hey ballot harvesting works. It's a lot easier than trying to convince a voter to vote.
Haah. Again. Just watch how they doing harvest balloting, in Mother Rusha.
So, USA have lots of space to grow. (sarcasm, yeah)
Public corruption is one ugly beyotch, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteVoter fraud isn't even necessary in the US when one side places all their efforts upon marginalizing themselves with the maximum number of voters.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans will just have to go back to running viable candidates when they get over being tired of winning.
A house divided against itself cannot stand. New leadership is the only path to reuniting the party.
ReplyDelete\\Public corruption
ReplyDeleteOxymoron?
Like "honest politician"?
ReplyDeleteThen... how you decided "paradox of liar"? ;-P
ReplyDeleteActa non Verba. :)
ReplyDeleteAlexander never did what he said. Caesar never said what he did.
ReplyDeleteYep... that's the source of machiavellism. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo what do you want from "dishonest politicians" again? ;-P
Deeds, not words.
ReplyDeleteThen... vote for those with deeds... not trumps. ;-P
ReplyDeleteA billion dollar privately held empire isn't a deed?
ReplyDeleteBuilt on rich daddy's money? ;-P
ReplyDeleteAnd well... os it REALLY billion dollar "empire"? And not just a scam which want to dazzle your eyes with look of "billion dollar privately held empire".
Well, building such a scam is deed too. :-))))

He's not in power, communists are. :(
ReplyDeleteSo? You are boanapartist? ;-P

Well, maybe you'd have your "100 days" back.
But, history do not propose to you anything more.
But... I propose. Go tech-wise. Rise in power as Tech-Lord. ;-)
And make all world kneel... with mighty robots. Bu-ga-gah!!!
...communists...
ReplyDeleteI percieve that meaning of this word is way too different... from anything I know from history and in general.
"Communists"... people who think that they represent "the Commons" (like Planet Earth, the air, the water, the land), the Internet, and think they can "administer" it.
ReplyDeleteFunny.
ReplyDeleteSounds like hippies. ;-P
And how they are dangerous? They even cannot agree in between themself -- what to do.
