The Democrat pretty much descended into all caps screaming and calling me a Trumper. My last response was:

Such witty repartee. I knew I was wasting my time. Still, perhaps I've planted a seed of doubt. Remember, you've just been defending the mass murder of children. After the election, you might want to think about the notion that BOTH parties are owned by the oligarchs. This Blue = Good, Red = Evil melodrama is designed to confuse you and set us all against each other. But no matter who wins, the same essential policies remain in place. The people always lose and the rich always win.

If we're to have any chance to survive as a species and save this planet, BOTH parties must be destroyed - along with the oligarchs who own them. When you realize that, come back and we'll talk. You can still make a positive difference in this world.

...back to the screaming, I see. Oh well.

Even Israeli generals (and anyone who knows anything about what's going on in the Middle East) have said that if it wasn't for the constant support of the US government, the constant supply of bombs and ammunition, the Israeli genocide of Gaza would stop cold. Couldn't go on for two days. No matter what Netanyahu says, he can't kill children without weapons.

Biden is effectively handing weapons to Israel's military every day, knowing that they'll be used to kill children. That's not a matter of opinion; it's crystal-clear fact. Beyond that, he has literally vetoed ceasefire resolutions at the UN twice. There is simply no way you can claim that Biden has no control over the Genocide, because the whole world knows that he's funding and arming it.

As for your usual "OH MY GOD, TRUMP IS HITLER! HITLER!!!!!!", you might as well give it a rest. Nobody's buying that BS any more. Yeah, he was a terrible President. He'll be a terrible President again. But he's not going to march all of his political opponents out of Congress, line them up against a wall and have them all shot. He's far too much of a coward for that.

Trump is what they call in professional wrestling a "Heel". His job is to play the bad guy, the naughty guy that the crowd loves to boo. That's why Bill and Hillary Clinton selected him as their Pied Piper - the Republican candidate for President who would push out all others. Hillary believed that his swaggering bad guy persona would be easy for her to beat, and he agreed to play the part. But she was wrong. She overestimated her own loathsomeness.

So you're trying to use ginned-up fear of a fake bad guy (who's bad nonetheless, but not anywhere near as bad as you believe) to pressure us to vote for a man who's killing children by the hundreds every day. A man who canceled primaries this year. In other words, you're using the lesser evil to scare us into voting for the GREATER evil.

That's not going to work out for you. I suggest you get comfortable saying "President Trump", because that's what the Democratic Party is determined to give to America again.

L is for Loser, which is what Biden's gonna be! Along with all of us, of course. But at least #GenocideJoe will be punished.

Continued prosecution of Julian Assange, a foreign national, for the crime of journalism.

Armed and still arming Nazis in Ukraine.

Current civilian deaths now over 22,000, over 12,000 of them children.

Freddie deBoer: Substack Nazis very bad, so switch to Ghost or Wordpress, which also have Nazis | "The only thing liberals know how to do anymore is to work the refs - to beg someone in authority to run in and enforce some sort of rules that, they’d like to imagine, secretly run the universe." by stickdog in WayOfTheBern

Most Americans not only don't understand free speech and the First Amendment, but loathe them instinctively.

  2. The railroad strike ban, along with the contamination of the environment by railroad crashes that the strike would have stopped.
  3. Dementia. We don't even know who REALLY makes the decisions any more.
  4. The Crime Bill, jailing thousands and thousands of Americans - particularly black Americans.
  5. Slavish obedience to the Senate Parliamentarian every time he needs an excuse not to do the right thing.
  6. Building a border wall after all.
  7. WHERE'S MY $2,000 CHECK, JOE?
  8. Rigging the 2020 primaries to screw Bernie voters.

HEY! Don't you dare call it useless. It's incredibly useful!

It kills off vermin - that is, all of us useless eaters.

Just checking, is this sarcasm? Because if it isn't, something is seriously wrong.

Bad Biden polls stoke third-party angst for Democrats by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

The most annoying thing is that the Dems are absolutely convinced that they own our votes. There's no point in arguing with them about it; all we can do is refuse to vote for their corrupt old rapist and every other member of the duopoly.

Politics is nothing but a sick joke, a shell game played by the oligarchs to distract everyone from the impending end of the world that they have engineered. Our only hope for survival is revolution - REAL revolution, not some bullshit "political" one.

We have to take to the streets and shut down their economy. Otherwise we and our children and their descendants are doomed.

That heart attack had ONE job: Take out Bernie before he showed us all what a complete sheepdog and whore he was. Then some of us might have been able to keep believing that there was at least one politician out there who shouldn't be dangling at the end of a rope.
