Try ripping this sign out of my hands you boot licking Fascist motherf*cker.

What a scary fucked up country we have now. And how sad to realize all it took was a handful of powerful people who lacked any courage to stop it.

I’m talking of course about the Republican party.

Sarcasm should be OK, though

I’ve gone from “Moderate Democrat” to “Democratic Socialist” to “Progressive” to “Eat the Rich”.

Me either. Fascism is (or should be) a dirty word but I think it’s accurate for what is going on right now. The cronyism. The authoritarianism. The militarization of our country. The deregulation. “Trump can Fix It”—that was their fucking campaign slogan.

Isn’t that the point of a comment board? Besides that I don’t live my life according to public opinion. Sometimes a rat is just a rat.

I’m 70 years old and I am proud of the fact that I have never once in my life voted for a fucking Republican. Don’t be distracted by the crossfire. It is the GOP that is responsible for this shit show.

Well we have a measles outbreak in deep red West Texas. One more example of Making America Great Again.

With Trump’s latest executive order re: S. Africa he has managed to please the Nazis AND the Racists.

Meanwhile, a town in West Texas is suffering from a measles outbreak because the “Christians” in the community refuse to vaccinate.

This is the morning news that shows how far we have fallen.

I think an old friend of mine said it best: The Dems don’t care about you, but the GOP wants to fuck you around. That being said, there ARE people on the left side who are trying to advocate for average citizens against tremendous odds.

OK I think we have reached the point in this little shit show where if we stepped back we would realize we want the same thing and we should focus on Trump/Musk.I started this thread by saying that I SUPPORT a more progressive DNC and that the only politician i send $$ to is AOC.

There is a difference between a “circular firing squad” and “now is not the time” but I realize that this is not the age of subtlety. And thanks for the dispensation of character evaluation based on a short comment thread.

As much as I am trying to cope, i am finding that the salutation “Hello” is being replaced by “Shut Up Asshole”.

Did you read anything I said? I am just a citizen and a voter like you. Aside from that I have no power. I guess you just don’t want me to have an opinion. Careful or you will become the thing that you think you are against. Maybe you already have. See you at the march.

I think the Dems need some serious self evaluation. I think the old guard needs to step away and let the new generation take over. Right now we are in a time of extreme crisis and we shouldn’t be setting up in a circular firing squad because that is what the GOP wants and they are just plain evil.

Everybody to the left of Shitler needs to remind themselves what the word “coalition” means. When have you ever gotten everything you want in politics? That’s not how it usually works. And now we have to get rid of the Fascists. . . Together.

There is definitely the deplorable element but there are quite a few that were pulled in by peer pressure and lack of information.

OK whatever. I’m an older person and you probably don’t like older people either but I’ve been around long enough to have seen this movie before. While you’re processing your misplaced anger I will be at my state Capitol today marching against the real enemy-the Trump regime-with my fellow citizens.

I get very discouraged with people and politics. Then I go to the park and see all kinds of people walking their dogs with the obvious display of mutual affection. This is a really nice quality of people (and dogs). Maybe this is a small thing we can use to all come together. That and fart jokes.

And the circular firing squad continues. . .

Well thx for settling that for everyone and informing us of your righteousness. Duly noted.

Lots of incorrect (and frankly ridiculous) assumptions about me based on a comment thread.

I supported neither of those things by the way. You have no idea other than this very specific topic who I am politically. As i said, you should direct your negative energy directly to the GOP where it belongs.

Well sorry you feel that way. I don’t agree at all with your assessment but i guess there is nothing i can do about that. Peace.

Neither you or I are the problem here. The Democratic Party has always been a diverse and loose coalition. I suggest you aim the rifles of your firing squad outward towards the real enemy who has been sustained by a 30 year campaign of fear, resentment and hysteria by FOX news and its odious allies

Also you ignored the fact that Biden won in 2020.

I have no problem with most of the progressive wing of the party—but there is a difference between “right” and winning elections. Blaming the moderates is not productive—all of this mess could have been ended in 2015 if ONE single powerful Republican had a spine.

Not really the point. I’m 70 years old and AOC is the only Democrat I am sending money to these days. To some she is a “radical leftist” but I find her to be totally in line with my JFK/FDR roots Don’t blame the moderate dems when the real culprit is 30 years of RW media and gullible listeners.

Trump voters: You seem very sensitive about being called “Nazis”. Get used to it. Signed: A moderate Democrat who has been called a “degenerate Marxist” for 30 years on FOX news.

After 30 years of being called a Marxist on FOX news—fuck you Luntz
