Hmm, lots of squirming going on. It couldn't be more obvious the direction the Democrat party wants to take the nation but they sure as shit don't want to broadcast it.

The alt-left, the closer we get to election day, will drag the resisters in the party as far as they possible can towards progressivism. The downside of poorly educating the masses is that a few people soapboxing about giving everybody free stuff and promising same is that you end up with a lot of believers.

It's a bit of a pickle.

The only time Republicans are worried about people getting free stuff from the government is when they're not the only ones getting the free stuff.
 
It's obvious the right talk about this woman so much because she's easy to paint as the future of the Democratic party. Liberal is not nearly as much of a dirty word as Socialist. Especially if it's combined with female and brown, with a non-Northern-European name. The more they talk about her, the more they fire up the base.

I don't think she is an exciting new face of anything. I think it's interesting that she beat what's his name in the primary, that's all

It's funny to watch Republicans be either afraid of her or shout out how she's good for Republicans.

Plus..Republicans criticizing her for being less than truthful is like a big leaky 55 gallon barrel of crude oil calling the kettle black
 
Great moments in Socialism.

"A few years ago, there were so many donkeys, or burros, in the Venezuelan state of Falcón that they were a problem — herds everywhere, causing highway crashes and blocking airport runways.

But over the past three years, the herds have shrunk dramatically as thousands of burros have been slaughtered for their meat by Venezuelans suffering through a near-famine.

“There’s no more burros here,” said Odalys Martinez, a resident of the Paraguana Peninsula in northern Falcón."


Make America Socialist again.

Considering what I consider to be the extreme level of misconduct I've seen among elected Republicans over the last 18 months I'm interested to see how much of that misconduct has registered with Republican voters.

As if democrats have been Saints. Anyway, that's incredibly broad and generic...I'll evaluate on a case-by-case basis and vote accordingly. You OK with that?

That doesn't answer my question in any meaningful way so no. Can you name a single case of misconduct? For example, Devin Nunes' shenanigans.

Devin Nunes isn't in my District...I live in St. Louis. I would love to give you a meaningful answer, assuming you can ask a meaningful question.

These "conservatives" believe that the proposition that all persons are created equal is socialism. They believe that equal opportunity is socialism. They believe that equal protection of the laws is socialism. That's why they frequently equate liberalism, even classical liberalism, as socialism, because those are liberalism's highest ideals. Their agenda is to turn America into an illiberal single-party state with tiered levels of citizenship. And they will tell any fearmongering lies necessary to get there.

I have asked a meaningful question, you're just refusing to answer. If Devin Nunes was your representative would you vote for him vs Andrew Janz?

The thing is, while its erupted from them of late especially, but if you're objective you and look back through and see this type of mentality and general disdain for the groups that are not them throughout America's history.

I will give conservatives some credit, they do recognize what changed. Technology has enabled a modern media that can give raw unfiltered look at how horrible their true intent and feelings are, that when taken in historical context (that modern technology giving people access to better education and more comprehensive information, has made people more aware of), gives reason for alarm. The problem is, they don't understand that the issue isn't that the media is distorting it, its the total opposite, its that the media is no longer filtering their unhinged decrees, and that is causing them consequences. How they can blame the media when they regularly post incredibly fucked up stuff, completely in control of it themselves, on social media, and then turn around and cry that the media is just making them look bad is simply insane. But that's why they're demonizing the media, because the safeguards against them revealing their true nature are no longer there.

The scary thing is how many people cheered that, not because it gave us a true look at politicians, but because they agree with the hateful stuff the politicians have started saying openly. The weirdest aspect is that these same people are the ones that rage about modern media and technology the most, like they clearly don't actually understand how the one directly led to the other. Their issue is that they too have to deal with the majority of people going "WTF is wrong with you?!?" and using their own free speech to condemn it.

'What if' questions are not meaningful imo and I don't know who Andrew Janz is anyway. I'm not a big Nunes fan if that's what you're looking for.

I can't talk about candidates that are not in my district. Excuse me while I post my 15th response in a concern trolling thread about a candidate running for office in a district a thousand miles away.

It's not that I can't talk about candidates that are not in my district (that's you being dishonest), it's just that I know the candidates in my District much better and was hoping fskimospy could use candidates I'm very familiar with as an example. I see that these little 'nuances' are hard for you to understand.
