American Politics VII: Virginia Reel

[Diahon]

Honestly? 30 years later it sure doesn't feel like we won.

we did win
we just squandered the victory

you guys pissed it up in shit leaders and accursed abysmal abyss of shit trump and letting pigs fly exuberantly and oh making sure the poor got shafted, save when they were useful as bait

[Comerciante]

We Americans be ballin but at what cost...

I believe the suggestion is that the KGB won their battles against the CIA but ultimately lost the war.

Honestly? 30 years later it sure doesn't feel like we won.

We didn't. A corrupt oligarchy succeeded the Soviet Union and China is a pragmatic foe.

We're also lead by corrupt leaders similar to those of Russia (not promoting Russiagate) in the sense that they use the state to line their own pockets at the expense of everyone else.

But...Freedom... Capitalism...and Jesus. That's why we were in the Cold War in the first place. We had to defeat the godless Communists so that the world could prosper and become perfect. Jesus would return and pat our leaders on the head, thanking them for a job well done.

If we only yielded to the likes of Donald Trump and accepted his word as divine edict, we would all be free, rich and washed in the blood of Jesus. It is His will that we own the libs.

House to vote tomorrow as on Bill to increase the debt ceiling by $480 billion thru December 3rd via deem-and-pass resolution

that is, the Debt limit increase will be automatically deemed passed without anyone actually voting on it once the House approves a rule for 3 bills to be debated later this month: the Nursing Mothers Act, the Protect Older Job Applicants Act, and the Family Violence Prevention and Services Improvement Act

How does being around Nancy Pelosi turn you into a communist?

I know but why do people think she is a communist? In fact are there actual communists in government. By communist I mean the real thing not what Fox News defines as communism.

Highly unlikely, given how capitalistic our society is- social democrats at worse

Because of several decades worth of misinformation about the nature of communism the modern GOP has convinced a large slice of America that anything to the left of Ronald Reagan is communist.

Well, I must be a communist then. Since I do lean left.

People like Tenny would call someone like Joe Manchin a “communist”.

Ah Texas:

Gov. Greg Abbott has signed an Executive Order prohibiting any entity, whether public or private, from issuing COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Let's put it like this:

Wyoming is the least populated state in America, with a total population of 576,851. Even if you took every single actual Communist in America and shoveled them into Wyoming they still wouldn't outnumber the rest of state's population. That's how totally irrelevant Communism is in American politics.

Abbott needs to be removed, Idc how. Legal, illegal, peaceful, violent Idc.
He needs to be removed.

That proves my point that in this country communism is just a buzz word for the right. But again fascist can also be used as a buzz word too.
