Sannie Posted January 9 Posted January 9 7 hours ago, DammnBaby said: You are on the precipice of a complete erosion of the social contract. When people in the greatest positions of power are permitted to behave this way, it sets the tone for the rest of society. This is the thing that scares me the most. Even if the Trump Presidency turns out to be a dud with him focusing on virtue signaling instead of passing substantial legislation, the tone the President sets reverberates throughout our society whether we like it or not. I remember that short amount of time post-2010 when being homophobic started being socially taboo and it looked like we were becoming a more open-minded society. Obviously homophobia and all types of other phobias still existed, but it felt like we were on the precipice of pushing the bigots into a closet of their own... and then Trump happened and reversed it all. Everything has become so nasty and negative because of him and I really don't know if this tone can be reversed. 1 hour ago, superglowy said: The more hyperbolic your statements, the more clear that it is slowly dawning on you that the progressive movement is dead.

Posted January 9 Posted January 9 6 hours ago, ClashAndBurn said: lol at this Khiver lolcow playing the victim when he did **** like this The Barack Obama presidency was objectively a disastrous failure, and he should have been primaried in 2012. Nobody here wants to admit what lackluster presidents both Obama and Biden have turned out to be though. This dude is genuinely the most insufferable person of all the political commentators. Yes, I am going to include Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro and most other conservative ones that I can think of in that statement. As awful as those people are, they're at least usually willing to hear out others and explain their twisted takes, as horrible as those takes are. This dude cannot be reasoned with and every time I see him, it's just blind screaming without any real sense of purpose besides "don't even think about criticizing dems!" Kinda need him to perish off the internet. He's basically like the Christian Walker of the left, except at least Christian Walker is kinda funny in an ironic way. Not this fool. 3
Relampago. Posted January 9 Posted January 9 4 hours ago, ClashAndBurn said: This behavior of you constantly personally attacking me is so weird. It's also genuinely funny watching people who don't even live here stick up for the virtues of moderate Democrats constantly Killing Osama Bin Laden? His own Vice President has proven himself to be more evil than all of Al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, and Hezbollah combined with his relentless support of the illegitimate terrorist state of Israel. Such an accomplishment. Obama had nothing to do with the legalization of gay marriage, and even publicly opposed it for much of his presidency. He had to be bullied into repealing DADT. Obamacare won't last much longer. And it's completely insufficient, yet the Democrats will never do anything to improve it because it has Saint Obama's name attached to it, so it must already be perfect. Anyway, the Democrats are a worthless loser party with worthless loser voters who relentlessly reward mediocrity and all they ever elect are worthless loser politicians. They're not winning the presidency anytime soon thanks to the generational damage that electing the dementia-ridden husk Joe Biden has done to them either. The fact that Obama was to the right of Joe ***ing Biden on same-sex marriage is such a kii. Not to mention, Deporter In Chief Obama tore apart thousands, upon thousands of families. But don't EVER speak against the first Black president even if he destroyed the lives of thousands of Latino families who have now fled the Democratic Party after Obama and his dementia'd VP completely lost their trust! 3

Fetterman ran to the left in the primary and ended up being far more conservative. Everyone got fooled by this clown. Hopefully, he gets primaried.

Well, if he doesn't end up on the presidential ticket, the next most likely outcome for Fetterman is a party swap, so Conor Lamb can run again as the Democrat and might have a shot
ClashAndBurn Posted January 9 Posted January 9 2 hours ago, wastedpotential said: Well, if he doesn't end up on the presidential ticket, the next most likely outcome for Fetterman is a party swap, so Conor Lamb can run again as the Democrat and might have a shot Conor Lamb was branding himself as literally the second coming of Joe Manchin. So what would you really be trading for? At the end of the day, Fetterman isn't the only one who'd be defecting either. We are already seeing it with Ossoff, Rosen, Kelly and Gallego as well. On a messaging bill that literally denies due process to people who merely are accused of crimes. And thanks to Biden's age and incompetence ruining the Democratic Party's image, the only blue senators you're gonna get in purple states from now on are shitty Fetterman types. For what it's worth, Fetterman is angling himself to be more of a John McCain than a Joe Manchin that we'd have gotten with Lamb. Neither one is really ideal at all. But I think Lamb would end up siding with the opposition a lot more, especially if Dems were to ever be in a position where they were to get a trifecta again. Which… I don't think will be the case until 2040 at the earliest tbh. 1

Vermillion Posted January 9 Posted January 9 While Karen Bass really dropped the ball here redirecting hundreds of millions of firefighter funds Rick Caruso her mayoral opponent complaining throughout this piece wouldn't have fixed the water infrastructure either. Also the LA Times entire reporting direction is no longer objective due to its new owner so there's that to deal with. And no, I'm not just talking the opinion bent either.

Californians and coastal liberals in general have regularly cackled at the "degenerate Southerners" being ravaged by COVID and hurricanes for years and years now. I believe they called it "reaping and sowing" when it happened to us. Not saying you did that specifically, but regional callousness and schadenfreude is not a new thing. I'm not even saying Californians DESERVE the consequences of Newsom being a failure like Charlotte Clymer's *sips coffee* aimed at Georgia tweet back in 2020 did. I'm directing all the smoke at your ****-for-brains Governor instead. Personally I don't want Gavin Newsom's brand of neoliberal incompetence ascending to federal governance. The national implications are too great to ignore, and there's not much I can do from all the way across the country when California's firefighting squad of incarcerated indentured servants has 0% of the blaze contained due to depleted water stores as a result of Sacremento's policies. Karen Bass is also just as much a failure for redirecting firefighting funds into the police budget. But that's what happens when people reject the notion of redirecting police funds into necessary services. Those services tend to be sacrificed in favor of expanded militarization of policing. And optically, going off on a trip to Ghana during all this is probably not the best idea either. Edited January 9 by ClashAndBurn 1

Shouldn't you be worried and concerned about these fires? Of course not, because unless it can be used to whack and moan about the Democrats, people like you don't actually give a **** about these issues. 1 1 2

Kindly **** off and stop quoting me. In fact, not that I have to justify anything to you, but I HAVE been posting about Palestine in the appropriate thread. I even mentioned it as a thing that proved why Joe Biden is an evil terrorist in here literally just yesterday. But do go on with your wrong assumptions about me. No one expected Trump to do anything positive with Gaza. The idea was to pressure the one side that potentially would. They ultimately did not, and Kamala Harris decided that backing a genocide and running to be just as much a terrorist as Joe Biden was more important than winning an election. So again. Kindly. **** off.
