Re: The Thread of Democrats
You are assuming that Sander's supporters were dominated by a hatred for conventional politics, but from a left rather than a right perspective.Hermit wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2020 6:30 amThis is clearly about politics. Look at it again: Sanders will drain the swamp. Some people believed Trump's promise to drain the swamp. Clinton, the Wall Street shill who was paid huge amounts of money by the bankers for giving speeches to them in which she promised that banking regulations are best left in the hands of bankers, is a swamp creature. Sanders gets eliminated in the primaries, leaving the choice between voting for the candidate who promised to drain the swamp and the candidate that needs to be drained. If you saw the situation like that and you felt it is your duty to cast a vote, who would you vote for?
Clearly, given the figures l'emmy showed, there is some truth in that.
Basing a voting stance on that is still a deeply stupid reaction...

Re: The Thread of Democrats
Who wants to drain the swamp? That is a great presumption. Reps dont and the Dems? The had their chances in the past but nothing happened. I think DC likes the swamp. It is so corrupt who wants to change?

Sanders is not your usual run-of-the-mill Dem. He seems to be genuine in his desire to upset the cosy Wall Street nest, which is why he got knifed in the 2016 primaries, and will get knifed in the present one too.

Of course he will. He does not fit in. Corruption is so complete in DC a banana republic would be an improvement.

Re: The Thread of Democrats
What swamp? Everybody has their own swamp to drain!
Woody, I think this is just one more example of stupidity from dumbing down. People want simple solutions. It's like all them diet books.
Book 1: don't eat carbs
Book 2: Eat these five things. Also have a balanced diet. Exercise. Meditate. Establish good sleep schedule. Get involved in a group activity. Turn off the TV. Don't eat and watch movies.
Which book will they buy? The one where the whole plan was in the title.

Re: The Thread of Democrats
There you go blaming stupid people again. This is your mess. We didn't create capitalism. We don't run the banks. We don't run the world's largest polluters. If we have health insurance we don't even understand it, and forget about scamming others out of their life savings to give their kids subpar educations.
Nope, you smart fuckers ruin everything.
I think you're just mad you can't use us dummies for cannon fodder in your revolutions because your peers have figured out how to keep us mostly fat and happy, and it drives you nuts.

But as far as stupid people, if one thought that Trump was going to drain the swamp, banish liberals, ban abortion, and take us all back to 1950, well that was stupid. Even if such a politician exists to do that, it was not Trump. He only knows how to cash in on stuff to profit himself.

Re: The Thread of Democrats
Yeah but we had the progressive era and the depression. That put an end to monopolies...till now. Now we have monopolies. Or duopolies.

Re: The Thread of Democrats
We got some good things out of it, but removing the money in government has never happened. You didn't even see the end of monopolies. Some were hurt while others thrived and were in fact able to gather more support under the guise of being necessary evils --where have we seen that before?
