Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 2)

Those here defending the dumpster fire that is the Democratic Party remind me of Brendan Rogers defenders after we lost 6-1 to Stoke.

Didn’t we have a block on 3 or more consecutive posts in a thread at one point?

All the links you post above are nothing but hollow trumpist propaganda, far away from any kind of truth.

From where I sit, you seem to spend far too much time on x.

Random thought. Could the Democrats learn something about dealing with Trump’s lies and conspiracy theories by studying a bit about Flat Earth’s failure on youtube. People like SciMan Dan, Professor Dave, Miniminuteman etc have made it their jobs to provide entertaining rebuttals of flat earth arguments, often getting down into the dirt rather than constantly moderating their language and making concessions pointlessly, and since they started posting regularly interest in flat earth has fallen off a cliff.

Not saying it is all on them, obviously FE is a nonsense idea that can be eaily refuted but I think there is something in the way that these creators have tackled it head on and challenged the ideas directly. They get hundreds of thousands of views without any mainstream media support.

Democrats need better ways of getting their message out there (and they need to be clear about what that is) but seems to me chasing Fox News viewers is a mistake when YouTube is right there and has been successfully used by normal people to stop the spread of at least one particular conspiracy theory/lie.

With the total contempt being shown the courts by Trump and his crybabies, why do they bother?
They 're ignoring the courts and getting away with it, why not just cancel the courts and get to Trumps dream of a full on dictatorship, it is here, anyway.At this rate the idea of elections in 4 years looks a pipe dream.
The mid terms are likely the last chance to avoid that by crucifying the Republicans,but unless the Dems extract the digit,smartish,it may be on,no one else, sadly, will muster the support required in that time.

Didn’t know that benevolent America spent so much on defence programmes out of the goodness of its heart, to protect us silly Europeans. Someone more cynic, would suggest that all that money was spent to retain its position as the world’s leading military superpower, but you and your X posts have enlightened me.

Your temper tantrums about the woke, the radical left, the Democrats, etc, etc are bit amusing and very much cringeworthy but these patronising posts are truly enraging.

The appearance of government as normal - political opposition parties, elections, independent courts - props up authoritarian regimes.

My pleasure

I’ve made many posts criticizing Trump. Nor have I ever voted for him. But the Left are absolutely clueless about how unpopular they are. Me pointing out the incompetence of the Left does not make me pro-Trump. The Left lives in a media bubble.

You’re probably right about Twitter.

As for the utter cluelessness of the Left, read this thread about how the racist anti-Semitic pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia smashed property, threatened and enacted violence against workers at the university, kept defacing the school by drawing swastikas on walls, and so on. Yet Columbia did nothing.

And the Left supports this. Most Americans do not.

This is not free speech nor the right to protest. These are crimes, and foreigners who perpetrated them need to be deported.

I think @toro should be banned - from the non football pages at least - as he just posts far right wing shite to troll. Alternatively, best to ignore the delusional deplorable.

Of course. Canceling opinions you don’t like is what you do.

Only on the far left would someone telling you that the far left is unpopular and what you promote are the reasons why you keep losing elections would be a bannable offense.

I used to rarely post politics here. But after reading these posts, you need to realize how unelectable you are. I want a viable center left party. I also want a sane center right party.

But we have neither now. And the Left is so bad that they keep losing to the crazy right wing party.

You mistake me for a right winger. I think you need to get back on your meds so you can play at being ‘in the room’ (or some such shite) when big financial deals aren’t being done.
