POLITICAL THREAD

[TheFrontRunner]

Weird subject for a political thread.

Well tell each other personal stories on here sometimes/non-political stuff...what is weird is it bothered you enough to say something negative vh

 

[CaptainBoogerBuns]

Gotta have an "in" they think.

FOMOs

 

[Dionysus444]

We didn't loot the resources from central/South America...
Spain and Portugal did.

And talking about racism...have you ever been to Mexico? Pay attention how Spanish ancestry Mexicans treat indigenous Mexicans.

Ok so first off, none of this has anything to do with what was being talked about. But if you want to digress, digress away.

This is crazy talk. Almost every single one of you over the last few months has gone, 'SQWAK! Banana republic! Banana republic! SQWAK!' about Trump's court cases like good little parrots. Y'all know where that phrase comes from right? Literal banana republics, governments set up by fruit corporations, Chiquita, in Central America. What do you think the freaking Panama Canal, a giant gash across the entire continent, is? Imagine typing 'America didn't loot its hemisphere!' for serious in 2024.

 

[CaptainBoogerBuns]

I get flak constantly, so much so that there's a post last page about having to put OTHER posters who sling it at me on ignore, not just me. Your criticism is I'm not catching enough? I would think anyone actually anywhere close to the center would see me getting it double-digits to one and probably think that was plenty. But I'll gladly start posting about Medicaid-for-All so he can shit on it if you want him to flex his 'centrist' cred.

I’ll give you credit. You’re not afraid to stand up for your side.

 

[Lost In FL]

Yeah, I think the 12th and 22nd ammendments would put an end to that but laws don't matter for Democrats.

I believe you guys, but I'm no lawyer so I don't see how.

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

But Trump and dictators. Or something

 

[Dionysus444]

Equality of opportunity ... not equality of result, which is what the left wants.

I'm not against equality under the law. I'm for it. It's all of the associated legislation that came along with it. It's not my fault that you're too hysterical to grasp nuanced thought.

Wait, in all the noise last night I must have missed the nuance of this wording. Is @HymanKaplan actually saying he's against the Civil Rights Act? Oh man, we were really in the weeds! Thanks for the spotlight.

 

[Marleydogg]

They're exceptions that prove the rule. Some lucky few make it. Of every race and socioeconomic background. The vast majority do not. If you start out already there, you have a much, much better shot at staying there than having to crawl your way all the way up from the bottom. Why? Because you have the secret sauce that makes our world go, the heart the entire system is named after! Capital. And capital begets capital. If you're black, white, brown, or rainbow striped it's still the same. Just the further you go down the melanin meter generally the more racism gets heaped on top of that.

Oh, did you mean that weird racism interblack, between lighter skinned blacks vs darker skinned ones?

I mean, that is a well known phenomenon, care to explain?

And, yes, everyone, I am baiting his dumb ass amd getting him wound up to go off for like 3 pages.

It's really too easy. If I mention cakes he'll really go wild.

 

[Marleydogg]

ACB was on the short list when Kavanaugh was chosen, so she was pretty much one of the next in line as it was based on merit.

Agreed, and she is supremely qualified, which irks me to no end Trump did the DEI nonsense by saying he was picking a woman.

Leave that shit out of it, dude. Biden, too. Just pick the dam person.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

Damn, they are really desperate

 

[Dionysus444]

blacksplain it to us, sus

only "know-it-all" liberals presume to know "why". Conservatives are saying they don't understand when the data doesn't back it up.

You don't have to speculate. Black people will tell you why themselves. Just ask.

 

[Marleydogg]

No. You did not address it. If you think you did, you may not understand the point, which has nothing to do with why Trump announced he would replace an iconic woman Justice with another woman Justice.

And, the claim that every VP is a DEI pick just gets a laugh emoji. 😂

I wonder if Dion the historian realizes how we used to pick our VP. LOL

[thabigbluenation]

If the demscould actually change the Supreme Court they would have done it a heart beat after they took control. It's just another talking point to rile up their morons who have no idea how real legislation works. He executive order it and make it so

 

[screwduke1]

If American liberals lived in Venezuela they would be saying "Maduro totally won fair and square. Questioning this election is the end of democracy"

Don't even go there lol. You know how quick that was changed, right?

Edit to add: Also, it's literally one of the Amendments. Like, I know y'all disagree with me politically, but there aren't very many. That's an awful low bar. We even had a conversation about the Twelfth the other day because of reading out of EC votes nonsense.

 

[Marleydogg]

I was responding to another obsessive compulsive idiot on here.

And what did your mother tell you about that? Think back and realize that every time someone says something about Jan 6, you don't have to post the same shit every single time in response, Village Idiot. Like, anything about it, and here you come, slavishly devoted to your idiocy.

Careful. Last guy who leaked DNC communications was murdered.

 

[Marleydogg]

Dude, laws that have Zero exceptions for rape or incest are barriers to reproductive health.
There is no push by Dems for completely unrestricted abortions in America.
That's only a narrative pushed by far right Chicken Littles.

And, Village Idiot, stop using reproductive health as euphemism for abortion.

It's not healthy, at all, for a woman's future reproductive health. At all. Look into it. Idiot.

Reproductive health should be used to describe things that make it more likely, like eating right and avoiding STD to increase fertility, not kill fetuses and wreck wombs, you brainwashed Idiot.

 

[screwduke1]

If Kamla had said there would be no more elections if she wins, my God what different narrative. She'd be communist, dictator, un American, i mean come on

The hypocrisy dudes, my God

I would have no problem with her saying that if it was in the same context as how Trump said it. You are just a dumbass.

I still won’t be surprised if they make another last minute substitution.

 

[Marleydogg]

It isn't an estimation. It's 15/7 Pubs since 1970.

Edit: In last 54 years, there have been 22 SC appointments, or one every almost 2-1/2 years. Before then, it was one every 1.8 years and for 73 years there were only six justices, so fewer spot were available. And there were still more appointed per year. NET, justices today stick around way longer on average today.

Your math ain't mathing, NetCat.

[AustinTXCat]

Getting cheeky with the emotes so you want me to explain point by point how idiotic your post was?

1) "the soviet union was communist." - Did Stalin live in a one room apartment in a seized mansion? What type of cars did the top brass drive? (Hint: google GAZ Volga) The Soviets used communism as a weapon, not a real ideology.

2) "China is communist." - Ask any economist how they would describe China's economy. Not a single one will say communist. Do you believe the rest of the CCP's lies or do you take them with a healthy dose of salt like the rest of world with functioning brains? Did covid come from the wild like they say?

3) "NK/Cuba/Venezuela/Angola (and a host of other African/Asian/Central and South American States...are under or have suffered through Marxist regimes. It's *always* bad." - This isn't a serious list. The only one on there that even vaguely qualifies is Cuba, and they've been able to be remarkably successful given the brutal and unethical American embargo. North Korea barely even uses the trappings of Marxism, Juche and Kim Il-sung's cult of personality were homegrown.

4) "an all powerful state is a primary tenet of Marxism. In real life anytime a government is communist, oppression/control/subjugation is the norm. It's by design. It's a feature, not a bug." - You obviously haven't read much Marx but what you're referring to is the work of Lenin, not Marx. Lenin was a brilliant and prolific writer, but he was too focused on what he felt was the question of his day, how to implement Marx's observations in his Soviet revolution. Most of his work is practical in nature rather than academic and as such is extremely limited in scope and viability.

5) "communism and fascism are siblings, not opposites." - Fascism was intentionally developed as an opponent and alternative to Marxism(socialism/communism). It was specifically designed and intended by its creators as an opposite. This can be seen in every phase of the ideology. They came for the communists/socialists first and blamed the Reichstag fire on them. Nationalism was paramount over international cooperation. Ethnicity and race were exalted instead of dismissed. Trade unions were banned. Corporations and business leaders were praised. They intentionally did the opposite of every Marxist ideological fixture.

Since we are talking personal stories, I was talking with an Amish guy today. He brought up politics and said Trump needed to win. Of course I agreed with him, but he did bring it up.

 

[AustinTXCat]

The people looking for anyone but Trump were Dems and Never Trumpers, the vax suckers. You misunderstood, I never meant Trump supporters. Reformed or otherwise. The rednecks were all the antivaxers and they're already Trumpers anyway, not going to move to RFK even if open to his message.

Too bad none of this will be looked into. Everyone knows that mega-donors are behind the millions Harris has gotten, but it won’t be investigated. Just accept that she is that popular and don’t look at the meager crowds she and her cronies get at their rallies.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

I'm taking back the plural 'you' just like y'all tried to appropriate the singular 'they' from nonbinaries. I'm just as Southern as any redneck conservative around here. Online people say my accent's pretty noticeable, even if nothing close to my activist buddy from GA's. That drawl is so much slower than our mountain chicken-squawking.

Burp!

Can you pray for God to help find you another designated driver? Asking for a friend....

I knew after I posted that I should not have did it. Just seemed weird to me, but

NO you are a lifer, so come get me..

I'm opposed to abortion as a means of birth control with exceptions only for rape/incest.
I'm just not cool with my moral beliefs being forced down the throat of others via the government.
My rights end where yours begin.
Abortion is often a healthcare decision. The government shouldn't be in control of those medical decisions.
Just because you want a Christian theocracy style government doesn't mean we all do.
Abortion should be a decision made between a woman, her doctor and her God. I don't want any part of it.

Even if true, which it isn't, that's still way better than blowing your way to the middle, like Kamala.

 

[AustinTXCat]

From an Axios poll July 22-24 of 18-34s after Biden pulled out. Harris has a chance to get back basically all the anti-Genocide Joe vote just like I said. Those are similar margins to what Biden got with the age group in 2020.
