  2. What lies did she tell about him? And he's the goddamm President of the United States. Fox News told no end of verifiable lies about Obama. Had Obama talked about Fox hosts like this on Twitter for criticizing and making fun of him, you'd be demanding Obama resign. Get off Trump's nuts.

  3. I hate when misogynists make that argument about women in action movies. A 130-lb woman taking out 200-lb men is unrealistic, but 5'5/160-lb Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves taking out 250 to 375-lb men is somehow not unrealistic? 🙄

  4. MTG looks like the Smiling Titan. AOC needed more than pepper spray - she needs swords and ODM gear if they're going to allow a Titan to freely roam the halls of the Capitol building!

  5. Well, Ilhan Omar is black, but Republicans hate black people just as much as brown people. Sometimes more.

  7. Nazism is inherently violent. A peaceful Nazi is like a peaceful Islamist extremist. No such thing. Nazism believes Western civilization is incompatible with nonwhites and left-wing ideologies and do not tolerate dissenting opinions. They do not believe in Democracy. They believe opponents must be forcibly removed and that a "white homeland" must be created, which requires mass deportation or genocide of anyone else already in the territory. Don't go easy on Nazis just because they're white. They no less dangerous than ISIS. Literally.

  8. He's an idiot who doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. He's not a supergenius playing 11-D Chess. He doesn't even know what's in his own bill and can't get any legislation passed.

  9. Kennedy actually cut taxes for the middle-class and the poor. His tax cuts were mostly demand-side cuts. Not supply-side. People who accuse him of being a Neoliberal are misunderstanding how Keynesianism works. He did lower taxes for the wealthy a little....from 91% down to 70%. Which is still unthinkably high by today's standards. Bernie only wants to raise taxes on the rich to 77% and AOC only to 70%.

  10. MTG looks like the Smiling Titan in that thumbnails. That's why AOC didn't want to come out! AOC needs swords and ODM gear if they're going to allow the Smiling Titan to freely roam the halls of the Capitol building and try to break through the walls of her office!

  11. Bernie is not a leader. He lacks killer instinct, is too guileless, trusts too much, and is too much of a doormat. He's a nice guy, but nice guys finish last in Politics.

  12. Flip it and I'll agree. Bernie is too damn old to be a VP and he's more seasoned than Turner. Not better, just mored experienced. Bernie is also now a household name and the most popular politician in America by an order of magnitude. Nina being VP would give her good experience, introduce her to the public and set her up for her own Presidential run in 2028. Turner is going enough to be viable to run for President in 2028, she'd only be around the age Obama was in 2008. At Bernie's age, 2020 is his last chance.

  15. If it weren't for all the employees the company wouldn't be what it is. You honestly think Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Elon Musk honestly came up with most, let alone all, of their companies' inventions and ideas? Hell no, most of the stuff is thought up by employees. Why shouldn't the employees be co-owners since they create most of the ideas and make almost all of the products? They've created the company every bit as much, if not more so, than the founder(s). Without the employees the company would just be some shed.

  16. ​ @admiralackbar7678  This. I've been waiting for people to talk about the possible impact that Jimmy Dore may be having on getting 18-45 year old voters to withhold votes and only turn out to vote third party in Presidential elections. Jimmy Dore made a speech actively encouraging people in Ohio to not vote for Nina. There is a good chance some of that 6% that Shontel won by is a result of the 45-and-under crowd listening to Dore or Dore affiliates and not voting. Or having their blackpilled Doomer mindset and refraining from voting because they see anything that isn't armed revolution as pointless. Dore may be fucking throwing elections for Progressives now.

  17. @Robert Caplin - Well, the Republicans were more accurately Neoconservative since the late 70s/early 80s rather than Neoliberal. Although Neoconservatism is closely related to Neoliberalism. Well.....Republicans were Neocons up until the Tea Party Era. Since then they've finally titled over into straight-up Falangism, Neo-Fascism and Neo-Nazism under Trump. Neocon Republicans like John Kasich are now an irrelevant minority that Centrist Democrats think are a far more numerous legion of voters than they actually are in reality because they're extremely overrepresented on MSNBC and CNN as if they're a big chunk of the general public.

  19. No, Neoconservatism also believes in socially conservative domestic policy and tends to have lees tolerance for meager social programs than Neoliberalism. Neoconservatism isn't just hawkish foreign policy. Neoconservatism views Neoliberalism as not severe enough on economic austerity domestically and wants to serve up Neoliberalism with a side helping of conservative Fundamentalist Christianity or Orthodox Fundamentalist Judaism.

  20. You've done nothing wrong, friend. This is not the fault of you or the Jewish diaspora. The fault lies with Netanyahu and the Likud Party. To me they're morally no better than Hamas, except with far more power and support. I really hope the international community can pressure the people of Israel to vote him and the psychopathic Likud Party out

  22. Social Democrats are Socialists in the broadest sense of the term. So, Bernie isn't being dishonest when he calls himself one. Social Democrats are just the most conservative/relatively "right-wing" school of Socialism. The original Social Democrats were more openly allied with Socialists who were further Left prior to the Cold War. To the point where Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks used to be among their party ranks in pre-Revolution Russia. Jeremy Corbyn and Jean-LĂșc MelĂ©nchon are closer to classical early 20th century Eduard Bernstein-style Social Democrats.

  24. @Engineer - There are tons of gnostic atheists who make statements like "God does not exist" or "Heaven/Hell doesn't exist". Those are statements claiming to know for a fact. Atheists are guilty of this just like theists.

  25. I and my family are black and live in Anne Arundel County. I got my mom to vote for him with me, but couldn't get my dad or sister motivated to vote. Their loss.

  26.  @anemonaloco  True, but that's nothing but a pipe dream right now. No third parties are winning even local elections right now. The grim reality is that running Progressives and Socialists as Democrats has been more effective.

  27. Well, AIPAC is making it clear they'll try to accuse her of being Antisemitic. They tried to paint Bernie Sanders as a self-hating Jew. They're trying to get Shontel Brown to slander her as one.

  28. Establishment/Centrist Democrats are basically like an abusive husband or boyfriend. "Do you think I like hitting you? I only hit you because you're such a bitch! Nobody loves you but me. You ain't shit without me. So vote for me because you can't exist without me........WHAT??!! You didn't vote for ME?? YOU STUPID BITCH!! *slaps*" Why do you make me beat you??!!"

  29. If Bernie decides to run as an Independent prepare for 8 years of Trump. Most Media coverage of him will cease, he'll lose his state voter mobilization apertures and he likely won't be on the Presidential debate stage. Independents aren't on the ballot in all 50 states in the General Election (which would doom Bernie in the Electoral College) and Bernie couldn't win 3rd Party unless you convince at least 70% of registered Democrats to vote 3rd Party. No way in Hell will most Democrats, especially Democratic voters over 40, vote 3rd Party in 2020 while a Democrat is in the race and the possibility of Trump getting re-elected is there. Unfortunately, the majority of Democrats don't share your level of hostility to the Party. The only way Bernie, Tulsi or Nina would become President is running as a Democrat and forcing the Neoliberal wing aside. Which is why neither will leave the Party. Most Democrats aren't going to vote 3rd Party over the next 4 years. That's why the Tea Party ran as Republicans rather than 3rd Party, as angry as most Republicans were in 2009 most weren't angry enough to flat-out go 3rd Party.

  32. Most modern Communists aren't Stalinists or Maoists and Communism doesn't believe in genocide or racial separatism. At most they're a threat to large business owners.

  34. @Randy Moo - Cornel West is a deacon at his church and engages in Christian theologian debates. I'm pretty sure he's religious/Christian. He's a Christian Marxist. As a Leftist there's not really an incentive for him to fake and pretend to be a Christian because there's not really any bias against openly non-religious or atheist people in Leftist circles and politics. He's actually more likely to get grief from some people in the Leftist sphere for being an open Christian since there are Leftist elements that are antitheists and stridently anti-religion. It would be a detrimental con for him to engage in if anything.

  37. Trump supporters and the majority of modern American Republicans (since most Republicans STILL support Trump) are Falangists, Fascists and Nazis. Not Conservatives. They are reactionaries. Fascists generally won't admit to being Fascists in mixed company because they know what a taboo it still is to openly be one, so they hide behind labels of other political labels. Like "Conservative", "Libertarian", "Centrist", "Classical Liberal", "Paleoconservative" and "Apolitical". Nowadays when someone identifies as any of those labels there's an almost 50% chance that they're a Neo-Nazi or a Neo-Fascist "hiding their power level" (the Alt-Right cringily uses that term to mean hiding their real ideological affiliations when around non-Fascists, it's the right-wing secular version of the dreaded "Taqqiya" they accuse all Muslims of doing). That or they're a Neoconservative like Ben Shapiro or Charlie Kirk but want to pretend to be a moderate conservative rather than a big government and police state-loving Bushite. I'm a Leftist, but I appreciate honest Conservatives like Bundy who are consistent about their principles and live up to them. He's a consistent Classical Conservative and not a Neocon or a Fashy practicing Taqqiya (hiding their power level) by calling themselves a "Conservative" yet defending authoritarian Statism. *To be fair, your average everyday Trump supporter is politically uneducated or politically illiterate. Most of them probably don't know that their ideology is actually Fascism or Nazism because most don't truly understand what political terms mean. They think "Conservative" means agreeing with their far-right heroes since far-right reactionary demagogues usually intentionally mislabel themselves as "Conservative".

  41.  @bipolarminddroppings  Bernie was pushing for government funding for worker-owned cooperatives in his 2020 campaign. He's more left-wing than his Progressive supporters made him out to be. He was more than just M4A and $15/hr minimum wages. He's probably a Democratic Socialist at heart, but realized that Social Democracy is the furthest left-wing he could push for in the current US without getting assassinated.

  43. I don't know about Wikileaks, but Julian Assange has already been shown that he's not a neutral purveyor of information. He chooses sides and holds grudges. The emails between him and Donald Trump, Jr. show that. Assange was trying to ingratiate himself with the Trump Campaign for jockey for a pardon from Trump if he got elected, and had a personal grudge against Hillary. However justified it may have been, he is NOT unbiased or without an agenda.

  45. Best case scenario, in my opinion: Bernie wins in 2020 and serves two terms with Tulsi Gabbard as his Vice President. In 2028, there is a Tulsi Gabbard/AOC Presidential ticket on the Democratic side.
