Do whatever you can to distract attention from the real problem: that America can't choose to go in the right direction toward true social justice, because the constitution and the election system is set up to keep the oligarchy and the neo-nationalist rabble in power. Oppress the people, grab ever more wealth and power; that's the goal of the oligarchs and nationalists. Whatever can arouse the people to support them in their power-grab, do it! Then when the people act out their anger at being bullied and suppressed, focus even more of the peoples' anger on the protesters instead of on the problems! Yeah, that works! And if that doesn't work, you can always start a war against the supposed foreign enemies, or blame immigrants, and attack THEM! Divert attention! Always the best method by the power-grabbers! And another method, take more voting rights away from the people! Distract them with internet toys. And more repression. Make the left feel like there's nothing more they can do but act out violently. Then, get Galen and others to focus even more attention on these angry folks instead of on what made them angry in the first place!
Huh? Here, let me lay down on the line, right here.
1. There are protesters like the womens' march. Those are OK since aren't really dissing me or acting like thugs.
2. SJW's : Guess what? I hate them because they dump on folks like me. Yeah, I'm a white male. I never caused any of the shit they keeping dumping on me or others like me. Damn them to hell.
3. Anntifa: Good for nothing goons who bash in a physical manner innocent bystanders. Oh, good how they make my heart burn with rage, assaulting innocents. They need to be frog marched across the stinkiest swamp around. Death to Antifa! Yeah, Antifa is right up there with abortion clinic bombers and assassins who target the clinic's doctors. Fuck all of those idiots. May they all just fucking burn in hell. Clueless morons, each and everyone of them. Death to abortion clinic fanatics as well.
SJW's don't dump on you because you're white, if that's what you mean. Some of them are white. I won't get into your fight with them too much; people on the left can be annoying. But unless you are a big CEO or something I doubt they are dumping on you, unless you are dumping on them. But most of them don't even know you.
Death to those who are assaulting people, eh? A bit inconsistent, I'd say. Antifa just want to bash fascists, or at least challenge them when they demonstrate and tell them to go home. If they make a few mistakes and hit the wrong people, well that's young and foolish guys fer ya. Don't tell me you haven't don't anything foolish. It's foolish tactics on their part, probably, but understandable because they are pissed and so am I.
Quote:Now, get this. Why the fuck hasn't the DNC supported single payer? Why did did it collude with Hillary's campaign to fuck over Bernie Sanders. The DNC needs to get purged of every single Neocon/Neoliberal in it's fold and that includes the Clintons. Also, where are they wrt worker's rights, wages, and worker safety? I haven't heard shit. All I hear is bullshit about illegal aliens, shit going overseas, other nonsense. Here's the joke. Harry Truman was right.
"Given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican, people will vote for the real Republican all the time" So, Harry Truman is right, after all. Sad, but true.
I agree with Truman, but more significantly, I think the Democrat needs to be able to connect with voters. That's a matter of personality, mostly. McAuliffe may be close to the Clintons, but he knows how to fight and take it to Trump and his bullshit.

I think the Democrats stand up for workers rights, wages, safety; Hillary did. The DNC doesn't support single payer yet, it's true. It's up to the people who are Democrats how progressive they are on these issues. They have to show that by their votes. Unfortunately, many progressives don't vote, especially if they are young. I don't buy that the DNC ruined Sanders, although I know they wanted him to lose. As for bull about illegal aliens, I hear about that from you too. I don't worry about illegals taking low-paying jobs; that doesn't drive down wages if they are so low to begin with. But if you vote Democrat, that's good enough. If you vote Green, that's OK too, I can't complain. I might too.
Quote:And, for those idiots ranting about immigrants? OK, which ones? The legal ones or the illegal aliens. Here's the deal on that. I don't want a bunch of people invading the US. I don't want to share the US's limited water and other resources with people who come from countries that can't get their shit together. If there's a choice between my well being and other people, I'm going to choose myself because I have a right to look after my self interests first and foremost. Next, there are American citizens who are like me that are homeless and they come next. And I have far more respect for the homeless than stupid self righteous folks who think about illegal aliens and other folks who think homeless people are that way because it's their own fault. Here's another kicker, American citizens who are minorities work also. They need competition from illegal aliens like a hole in head. Let's inform them about that while pushing for worker's rights for all citizens. That's the ticket, right there. Every American citizen has the right to healthcare, safe working conditions,a living wage, and freedom from imported competition. Neoliberals love open borders to get lower wages and Neoconservatives love open borders to get more soldiers for their stupid wars. So yes indeed, I'm an economic nationalist. On top of that, let's ditch tariffs and enact a VAT tax to fuck over cheap imports and pay for single payer as a cherry on top.
Finally, yeah, I'm gonna vote Democrat in November because each and everyone of my congressmen wanted to kill off Obamacare. I remember and I'll do my part to make them pay....
Good. I don't agree with all your prescriptions, but people might disagree on some issues, and still come together and work for a better country, if we ever get voted in. And if we could ever change money in politics, then politicians wouldn't have to be bought. And the best ones don't take the money. I wish O'Rourke would win, but red states usually don't vote for progressives.
