Yeah. My weakness is that I’m easily baited by blatant stupidity. I know better but still get suckered sometimes.Straight up trolling

you both sound like 12 yr old children on the playground
There you go with that team bullshit again.Nice try. Dems/libs are now the Marxist/Hamas party of Mamdani, AOC and Tllaib. Congrats on your new team.
Unfortunately that's American politics.you both sound like 12 yr old children on the playground
Both sides have issues.BO SIDES!!!
But it's probably not. This is 100% how politics works today. You take the views of extreme fringe figures and paint the entire group with that brush.Straight up trolling
As has been pointed out any number of times, the critical difference is that the extremists in the Democratic Party are truly on the fringes, while the extremists on the Republican side are literally in control of the party (and the country).But it's probably not. This is 100% how politics works today. You take the views of extreme fringe figures and paint the entire group with that brush.
So, between Bernie, Mamdani and Tlaib, the Right can paint the entire D party as Jew-hating socialist, communists who support Muslim terrorism.
And that is the whole point that I was making in that post to which the aroused ram was initially responding and was inadvertently reinforcing my point. It's stupid, because as I said, from an ideological perspective, the majority of rank-and-file liberals have more in common with the majority of rank-and-file conservatives, than the extreme left has with liberals or the extreme right has with conservatives. Most Americans reside between what I call the "political 40-yard-lines." The problem is that things like the primary system, as well as social media and 24/7 cable news, give unprecedented platform to the loudest, craziest, most neurotic extreme voices on either side at the expense of the "normie."But it's probably not.

What is an "extreme" political view is pretty subjective. For example, wanting to completely ban abortion, to the average Dem, is extreme. To the Christian, MAGA Right it's just saving innocent lives, which is completely normal, right?As has been pointed out any number of times, the critical difference is that the extremists in the Democratic Party are truly on the fringes, while the extremists on the Republican side are literally in control of the party (and the country).
Agree.Most Americans reside between what I call the "political 40-yard-lines."
Agree. The crazies fringe are generally very focused and enthusiastic!The problem is that things like the primary system, as well as social media and 24/7 cable news, give unprecedented platform to the loudest, craziest, most neurotic extreme voices on either side at the expense of the "normie."
I mean, there's a thread about lost socks with 19 posts and counting, so.....How is this topic worthy of a 16 page thread? I've literally heard nothing about this outside of this thread.
Bigger problem for Dems. Your assertions center around one man in the Party - who's proven to have a teflon veneer which can easily withstand accusations and cheep shots from the media/libs.Nice try. Pubs are now the child rapist, pro-Hitler, “Putin’s little sluts” party. Congrats on being pro-child molestation.
See how two can very easily play that cute little game?
I mean, yeah, pretty much no one thinks of their own positions as "extreme" but what is an "extreme" political view is largely objective in terms of being measured against the views of the rest of society on a particular issue. For example, "ban abortion completely" is an extreme position on abortion; this poll from October 2024 found that only 8% of people "strongly support" a national abortion ban and 7% of people "somewhat support" it:What is an "extreme" political view is pretty subjective. For example, wanting to completely ban abortion, to the average Dem, is extreme. To the Christian, MAGA Right it's just saving innocent lives, which is completely normal, right?
I would say the topic isn't really about an ad for jeans. It's about right-wing propaganda and how the media helps to advance that propaganda. That's the subject being discussed and why it's such a long thread.How is this topic worthy of a 16 page thread? I've literally heard nothing about this outside of this thread.
I bet you $100 that a straight southern male is, in fact, on top of the ticket in 2028.Bigger problem for Dems. Your assertions center around one man in the Party - who's proven to have a teflon veneer which can easily withstand accusations and cheep shots from the media/libs.
The Dems problem is structural in that the base of the party is moving hard left/Marxist/Hammas. That's where the energy lies.
The fun part begins with the Dem 2028 primary which will be the first primary since 2008 which will be open and largely free from the reigns of the Party Bosses (rank and file won't accept another heavy handed primary). Therefore, the Party Bosses will not be able to keep a hard left candidate from winning the way they did with Bernie. The rank and file are going to get who they want finally. That's going to be someone from the hard left.
No way a straight, Southern, Christian moderate like Beshear gets through a Dem primary in 2027/28.
