  2. We have two choices this election, that does not mean we like either. The key is to pick the next president we wish to push to change, I would argue Trump unsuitable for this role. Leaving us with Biden and a commitment to push him day one with half his base at your back.

  4. The fact is the GOP and the DNC are equally complicit in free trade. They are equally complicit in selling out to wall street, the democrats fail because they are too much like the GOP ans spit on their own base.

  6. Replace corporatist with liberal I am am fine with your characterization Saager. These corporate robots committing to censorship is them acting right wing like the do on all economic issues. The left has no power in that circle and you know it.

  7. It is hard to take a man whose dad killed JFK seriously.

  8. There is no universe it makes sense to be a Bernie supporter and vote Trump. If the Dems are cancer, Trump and the GOP is metastasized full body cancer and I see it as a tough sell to pick them over nothing.

  10. Your choice of who you call criminal is very telling, go ahead and stand up for statures of traitors. We know where you stand.

  13. They are trying, the GOP said the same thing about Trump and look how that turned out.

  14. He blew them with his tax cut .. he expected to be supported despite the human stain he has proved himself to be.

  15. They really have tried. Picking joe, spitting on their base, running right, it is like they have an entirely different motivation than winning.

  16.  Nolan Gleason  The problem is not the length of terms it is who our leaders work for. It is how they are funded that is the problem.

  21. Anything but Trump as this point. I loath Biden but voting for a proven failure is like Trump is indefensible at this time. Trump is every single fail Biden is plus, including cognitive decline. Biden is easily the the choice I wish to oppose.

  22.  @bearyhot  I can list the good qualities of conservatives, I needed to understand them in more detail to better communicate with them. Most do not overtly back white supremacy but end up tacitly supporting it because they stand beside actual hard core racists who also contribute to the narrative. From an outsiders perspective Sherry's opinion has some generic merit. Conservativism is literally about group think, conformity and promotion of the status quo. This is easily confused as racism when the status quo has deep racist underpinnings from our past that in living memory were the standard and have not been erased. I disagree with her that all conservative are morons, most of just unsophisticated or poorly informed on key issues but they are not innately stupid or greedy. Their leaders consistently represent the worst traits of the group. I would argue that these conservatives leaders either cynically say stupid things to appeal to the base or have been convinced of nonsense themselves. The people who really understand the platform and what the GOP actually fights for are pretty bad people and are consistently greedy or directly seek policy that enriches their ingroup as a focus. Most conservatives are not that brand of fail. They are otherwise good people that have swept up by terrible leaders because their primary focus is continuity and moving toward a rosy picture of some imagined past they idealize. That is what the GOP sells. They have been tricked and misdirected by empty wedge issues and overt misinformation about those they oppose as not just in opposition but as evil. Any group that radically demonizes the another does so to bind them closer and helps the individual dismiss the ideas of others as wrong before evaluation. This is a 2 for 1 as it effectively strawman's opposing policy while satisfying a deep need to belong that is desired by the conservative mind. In the case of policy I do not see the two groups as equal in the veracity of what they demand. The conservatives have become overt tools of corporates lackeys' as have those who worship establishment democrats. Both these political leadership's would focus on identity nonsense over change in pursuit of the stasis that their donors love. One party has independent non corporately owned leadership and one does not. Until the conservatives steak some ground away from the corporatists they will consistently be called greedy and racist by outsiders because of who owns them and a blind need to defend broken things just because they are a legacy. There is a strong as of yet unanswered desire among the conservative electorate to change this dynamic. The Tea party and more recently their broad support for Trump shows a deep desire to move away from the status quo of the old school establishment republican leadership. This is clear recognition their existing leaders have been deeply problematic even before the orange man baby came along to break the republican mold and throw them into chaos.

  23. Trump has lost EVERY SINGLE case he has brought, if he had a smoking gun we would see the smoke by now. Get this through your head Trump is done, get a crying bucket if you have to but get ready to deal with the reality which is coming if you like it or not.

  24. Only if Bernie does not crush. I would like to see Yang in Bernie's cabinet.

  25. Why would Biden concede? When would have she told him that?

  26. @Olivia P He had options including what the GOP did as soon as they took power by limiting the filibuster. He had the bully pulpit and law on his side. He instead arrogantly calculated Hillary would win and let it slide to maintain a broken status quo. Obama was not Trump, but he was a giant disappointment who basically maintained the status quo end continued to empower overt corruption. I do not expert my president to always win, but I do expect him to always fight. Especially against the overt intransigence he faced which never gave him an inch.

  27.  @ellsbells9943  It appears that Bernie does not surround himself with the "best people" like Trump does. #SimoneIsKellyConwayish

  28.  @petert1692  Because they are literally the same cancer with a slightly different face. The shape of that face turns out to be important but their base nature will always be a barrier to meaningful change. Corporate crony democrats empower the right by acting as corrupt as the GOP. The main difference between them is the republicans say the quiet part out loud and directly appeal to their base with platitudes, slogans and wedge issues while democratic leadership ignores theirs knowing they have no where else to go.

  31. They shill for all establishment sellouts. They are so busy calling 50/50 all the time they never hit actual corruption that is killing Americans.

  32. Honestly? Are you like 10? The jeasus freaks are the original vancel culture. Canceling swearing or calling your imaginary friend names is old school canceling you can no longer make work in the free market. You people have ways hated free speech.

  33.  @JA-jr9nc  That is the entire GOP and the establishment dems are about. She is rejected by progressives because she is now one of them and is acting like it.

  34.  @Les537  When you support the proud boys you no longer get to pretend to hate identity politics. No one thinks our history or culture is bad, our historical application of law is deeply questionable and slavery no matter how you slice it was terrible. Ignoring history means you doomed to repeat it, I see no upside hiding mistakes other people long dead made. They do not reflect on either of us do not need to be covered up.

  35.  @ugbc3276  they call him racist because he does and says clearly racist things. If you support that you are likely racist too. I understand you being upset at being called out

  36.  Bubbles McGee  No he did not, but If care about this issue that is literally the lowest standard you could possibly have. He made war much more likely and greatly expanded our military. He contributed genocides and broke "peace time" records dropping ordinance on civilian and military "non war" targets including Russian assets and foreign leaders. If you think that is a good "anti war" record you need your head examined.

  37.  @motess5304  He made war with Iran more likely when he tore up the Iran deal, he then assassinated a military leader on foreign soil which is an act of war. Stop pretending to be anti war, it makes you look stupid.

  39.  @johnnytsunami3695  The "left" has no voice in the main stream media where they have been complaining about nothing burgers while there was real corruption in the Trump admin to report on. Biden is only bad because he pretends to be the GOP and chases both their voters and donors off a cliff trying to out GOP them while spitting on his own base. The idea Biden is more corrupt that trump is entirely fact free as Trump literally openly breaks the emoluments clause and has passed nakedly corporate friendly policy since day one with no push back from his supporters AT ALL. Trumps team has passed massive tax cuts for the rich, put overt shill lobbyists in charge of communication, education, defense, environmental regulation, etc, etc. There is NOTHING Trump is better than Biden on, NOTHING. That is pretty damning as Biden is shit.

  42. Sharp? We really define that word far far differently. My definition is the classic one and yours is based on your own deep limitations and the fact you a clearly a moron yourself.

  43. Ya, we all know the GOP hates useless show votes (repeal ACA) and endless committees (Benghazi comes to mind) that go nowhere.

  44.  @saintjames8018  Antifa is nothing but a bunch of disassociated children who hate fascists, they represent no one. BLM is not Marxist and you need to wake up as you buy the spin of liars who tell you they are. Until you get a handle on who you oppose you will look clueless as you attempt to discuss the issue and will be fighting imaginary enemies, it is a bad look and not very effective if you want to actually oppose those you dislike.

  45.  America  You live in a radically different universe than I do. I have no idea where you get your information but it seems entirely counter factual. There is no data to back up your bizarre claims of republican popularity, none. I am not a CNN or main stream media guy and your empty dismissal and bizarre fact free spin speaks to your bubble not mine. Trump is a national security threat, his collapsing business as shown recently and giant debt makes him eminently personally vulnerable to foreign influence. I am not voting for Biden because I support him but because he is one of two monsters that is going to win. Biden's failures are eclipsed by Trumps. I do not like Biden but choose him tactically as the one I wish to oppose. Trump had his chance and failed hard, I can not imagine how anyone could even tacitly support his reelection.

  46.  America  Look at this list of names from 2016 and tell me which ones and ran out to find new jobs right after the campaign. Steve Bannon. Kellyanne Conway. David Bossie, Katrina PiersonSam Clovis,Michael Biundo These people all went on to serve in the trump admin at least briefly before being fired or moving on. I apparently do know more than you, but that is not exactly a challenge. That does not stop you from making empty claims you do not care to back up even as you demand a different standard of others.

  47. Says a guy that openly supports traitors and calls anyone he does not like one. The word has no meaning as you attempt to use it.

  48.  @TaylorSharkey  I would rather it be based on public policy than letting a group of for profit vampires pick and choose for us. We have death panels and they kill 40 thousand Americans a year that would be covered in any other first world system.

  49. Free speech is entirely intact as is the right to bear arms. The fear mongering on either of these issues from the right is empty nonsense.

  50.  @alvarny77  There is no three way fight, the ideas of the establishment democrats are not popular. The right thinks they are all communist despite the fact most are at best 90's republicans and the left despairs they act like 90's republicans with a choice between them and overt wanna be fascists. The party needs to be torn from their corrupt hands and that it has not happened yet does not mean it will not happen as we move forward. The establishment's ideas are only popular with the donors alone and they win by misrepresenting their opponents and marginalizing them in the media. This has worked to date but is a strategy that is bearing diminishing returns ever single cycle. The establishment is vulnerable and gets more so as they run away from policy that is now popular with the base but hated by the donor class that holds both parties leashes. Trump proved the gop establishment is eminently beatable by running as an outsider, progressives can do the same by properly framing their opponents and taking the mantle of centrist from them. It is time to start pointing out the establishments policy that is radical according to the base's wishes.
