I would say it’s been proven that Democrats, mostly progressives, won’t vote for a candidate who spouts conservative values. Which is what both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris did. For fuck’s sake Kamala Harris graciously accepted the endorsement by fucking Dick Cheney and his piece of shit daughter. Literally the moment she did that I knew we lost the race.
I don’t think you quite understand what baby boomers are. They are the generation of children born immediately after World War II (1946- the 1950’s). They are the kids of the soldiers who came back from the war and who’s lives were heavily impacted by the various programs that were put into place at the time to encourage families like affordable housing, job incentives, and funding for college. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill)
The silent generation are the people who were born amid World War II (1935-1945). And were growing up while the baby boomers were being born.
I assumed the question was asked in good faith, since we can’t really expect everyone to keep up with everything
The way the entire comment is phrased speaks to a bias, so I cannot assume that question was asked in good faith.
Truth. When you’re the only ones playing by the supposed rules of decorum, are there really any rules of decorum?
Nah, it’ll be alright. Plenty of people are voting and I have things to do. Besides, both parties suck anyhow so nothing’s gonna change.
Literally what a coworker said to me today.
Since he has stolen petabytes of American citizens data and is doing God knows what with it, he absolutely should be incarcerated and interrogated.
Sometime after the midterms are over I really hope this fucking walking fossil just up and dies. Just imagine thinking that outlawing bigotry is the worst thing that happened to religious “freedom”. This guy is an absolute piece of goddamn shit. Both him and that fucking Uncle Tom.
Please explain. I don’t know anything about this woman because thankfully I don’t live in Ohio. And any search about her now is just a wall of info on this attack.
90% say they will vote for the same people they’ve always voted for in order to help end the corruption.
The way this should be phrased is “Many Democrats join Republicans in condemning Social Security and Medicaid. Vowing to end social programs that help Americans.”
A lot of them apparently think that China is doing all the right things so, yeah.
Hence why we call them tankies.
The DSA didn’t “notice” anything. They’ve known the whole time. She left the DSA to join the Democratic party because the Democratic party was the only way to get elected anywhere. Because they had such a stranglehold on the “left wing” of our political system. What changed is that’s no longer the case. The Democratic party is falling to shit because of the centrists who are basically Republicans at this point. So she is leaving that party and going back to the DSA and solidifying her position there because like her we all need to abandon the Democratic party and embrace Democratic socialism.
Reason.com is a pro-Reaganomics bullshit rag. They may take issue with the border guard detaining American citizens without due process but they don’t have any problem with them doing whatever to anyone else. Fuck those libertarian douche bags. Most of them voted for this nonsense.
Well yeah haven’t you heard? The reason Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris lost was because they were women not because they were so conservative as to be almost indistinguishable from a Republican.
Name a bad socialist idea. Keep in mind that socialism and communism are not the same or interchangeable in any way.
And yet it’s funny how all the people who see capitalism as the perfect system are always the ones trying to dismantle the socialist systems that were put in place. Those same socialist systems that everybody relies upon for our society to run in a non-dystopian fashion.
Did you realize that FDR was a socialist right? All of the popular policies that he instituted were socialist policies.
But for the many on the right, backing down from past progressive rhetoric once, or even many times, will never be enough. It is those same folks on the right who dictate what is considered unacceptable and, in response, what many Democrats may worry is too radical or “woke” for potential voters leaning more toward the center.
This part right here is what kills me. The people he is looking to get out and vote for him are not right wing people. They aren’t the people who mass consume fucking Fox News and OAN. And the fact that Democrats seemingly always are is what’s wrong with the party.
Trump was the reason. Bernie isn’t stupid and he knew what kind of dipshit Trump is.
