  36. The system has figured out that leftists more so than rightwingers are a threat to the system because they attack the profit-generating organizations from defense contractors to oil pipeline builders to exploiters of workers in and outside of the country, etc... Rightwingers are fine so long as they get to keep their guns and you throw a few Bible verses at them but lefties needed to be divided and unfocused hence the bullshit controversies and fearmongering. Look at the Obama presidency. The rightwing did more to enable his administration in pursuing neo-con polices without much liberal protest. How? Because many liberals were distracted by bullshit rightwing outrage and conspiracy theories from birth certificates to secret islamic identity to how he salutes soldiers with a latte in his hand. All of that was distraction and to get liberals to stand behind Obama against the onslaught of rightwing lunacy while ignoring the continual wars in the Middle East. I think the same thing is shaping up with Hillary. If elected, she will face so much Republican opposition and the media is ready to report on that rather than her inevitable expanding of military operations in Syria, Yemen, Iran, and wherever else. We'll have pundits fiercely debating her involvement in Bill Clinton's affairs and there'll be shouts of misogyny from the 3rd wave feminists as the MRAs will be screaming misandry back at them. The more conspiratorial minded will be screaming election fraud. There'll be so many non-issue issues streaming about in the press and on social media which will cause most to overlook how many times our Saudi Arabian allies bomb hospitals and Israeli settlers seize more Palestinian land while US drones mistake weddings and funerals for terrorist gatherings. That stuff will be page 3 news compared to the front page news of the latest Republican outrage and subsequent Democrat response to that outrage over what dress Hillary will have worn at whatever function. This nonsense will keep liberals distracted as they scramble to defend Hillary from rightwing attack after rightwing attack much like they did with Obama. And those few brave progressives who have the nerve to criticize Hillary on her policies will be lumped in the same category as the crazy hate-filled rightwingers and their criticism will dismissed out of hand.

  54. The parties aren't what they used to be. The Republican party of Lincoln which freed the slaves, gave them citizenship, and the right to vote has been overtaken by embittered racists courted away from the Democrat party by the Southern Strategy in the wake of the Civil Rights Act. The same party which produced Teddy Roosevelt and his regulations to create national parks, break up big companies, stop harmful unregulated food production has been hijacked by corporatists who want to overturn a lot of the regulation he set up and would strip mine Yellowstone in a heartbeat. The party of Eisenhower who forced desegregation in schools and warned us of the military industrial complex has been taken over by the aforementioned racists and has become a vehicle for the industrial military complex who pushed Bush into going into Iraq on bullshit premises. The Democrat party which while founded by racist genocidal slave-owning Andrew Jackson was founded in contempt of the banks and in favor of the common man (just at that time meant only white) has been replaced by wallstreet-paid bank-loving corporatists who screw over the common man on behest of their banking bosses. The party of FDR who pushed for progressive reform and helped to create a strong vibrant middle class has been hijacked by neoliberals who want to overturn and have overturn his regulations against Wallstreet and the banks destroying the middle class in the process. The party of JFK who avoided war with Russia and created the Peace Corp to aid developing countries has been taken over by warhawks wanting to heat up the cold war with Russia over leaking their shenanigans and have no problem with the continual bombing of developing nations while their banking wallstreet masters continue to exploit third world labor in sweatshops. Both founding members and later heads of these parties would be aghast at the state of the parties today and overlooking the social issues which are little more than a bone thrown to the followers would probably see little difference as the same neo-con policies which benefit the 1% are being pursued by both parties. A sad state of affairs.
