American Politics IX: Winter is Coming

[Daniel-Franklin]

Sinema has been censured by Arizona Democrats over her filibuster stance that blocked voting rights legislation.

Yeah, she's going to get primaried come 2024. Democratic voters and donors are not fond of her. She burned down her bridges.

Almost tempting to return to the party long enough to primary her. Almost. But as an independent, I can still opt for a Democratic ballot in AZ.

[Daniel-Franklin]

I just don't like people acting like the problem is just a Republican thing. That lets Democrats off way too easy.

Not sure how “here’s what makes these two specific individuals bad” is implying only Republicans do bad things.

All references to evil Republicans should be paired with "Democrats, suck, too." And vice versa. It's a healthy pairing, like a good dry Merlot with the right meal.

Both parties suck and people should get constant reminders of this until the people abandon the two-party system entirely.

Context is important. Obama openly said his policies are similar to a 1980s Republican (aka Reagan). Trump would never have won without Obama. They're all connected.

I’ve been working on a joke.

A socialist and a conservative sees Biden Pelosi Schumer etc.

“You are radical leftists!” The conservative shouts to them.
“Hahahahaha, that’s funny. Go to gulag.” The socialist says to them.

There is a reason why black turnout dropped in inner cities in 2016. It wasn't just that Hillary was white, either.

[Lady Victory]

And one that wasn’t strictly relevant since a “here’s what made Reagan and Trump bad” doesn’t really call for a “BUT OBAMA”.

I just don't like people acting like the problem is just a Republican thing. That lets Democrats off way too easy.

Okay but I wasn't really doing that. I was pointing out why the three assbags that particular poster seemed to admire were, well, assbags.

A Communist might, but not all socialists are Reds.

True. Though the general point is actual leftists don’t claim them.

I'd put every last Republican congressentity in a camp to farm taters for the greater good of the United States and I'm not even a full-blown Leninist.

...What.

Indeed. They're corrupt party hacks, nothing more than that, though Schumer has been a little wiser than the others so far.

So, the thing about jokes is, they're funny.

[Vystercia-Nasucrea]

...What.

Simply that being leftist doesn't mean gulags and bread lines. And we're not doing the show trials with kangaroo courts. That's colleges.

Nah I'd totally struggle session Donald Trump. <.< >.>

Okay but saying "not all Socialists are Reds" is weird because, uh, yeah we are. "Red" is any Leftist.

I associated that with Leninists myself. Well, red flags. Red roses and red fists not so much.

Would you do the same to the Democrats? In Cuba it would be cutting sugar cane, if you can find any left.

So by 'Red' they mean ML's I guess.

This. I associated "pink" with non-Leninist leftists.

Yes.
Also sugar cane is bourgeoisie luxury on the level of "Let them eat brioche". Potatoes are what real men lives on.

Man but I hate pink...

Although I'm not a fan of red either.

Wish Leftists had gone with blue instead.

*sigh*
