I was a democrat in the 90s under clinton. In voice only because I wasn't old enough to vote, but I remember being a full on anarchist, and told that it was the ideals of my party to have the government leave me the hell alone
back then the churchy republicans where the finger wagglers that insisted what you should and shouldn't do. That's where the term Liberal came from
The socialists were always in the Democrat wing, but they were a fringe voice up until Barack rose to power. But when the Democrats turned full on authoritarian, the term "Liberal" was co-opted into the lexicon
I understand the historical context
But they just changed
They clearly aren't liberal anymore
I was dumb enough to vote for Obama. Now I’m reformed.
I abstained from the 08 presidential election
haha and know Matt cant avoid saying my name now hahahaha
now*
is that....big cooont-o??
Arti-bighunt
lol
I've been all over the political spectrum. Up until 2012 I was a liberal, and then I slowly drifted towards the center, and then I drifted towards the right the past year or so
I consider myself a libertarian with conservative leanings
Noice
naturally I live in a very democrat heavy area of the country, and my extended family are all die-hard Dems
so family gatherings are always a blast
My parents both come from Union households, where you're pretty much forced to vote democrat or get fired. Their oldest son hosts a conservative webshow, and their daughter won't watch a TV show that rips on Trump
That's very interesting. And one of my leftist friends (actually my only leftist friend) insists that what Hillary said about some Americans is true, that some women were forced by their husbands to vote Trump, and that's why she lost
Of course everything Hillary says is a crock of shit. It's just baffling that leftists so easily believe anything
It amazes me that they don't even blame Comey for what he did
Like there was a lot going against Hillary, but Comey reopenning the investigation was what cost her the most
the Comey thing didn't do as much as you think
I don't doubt that
Keep in mind that when Hillary ran in 2007, she did so as a blue dog democrat
and lost the nomination to a socialist
then it 2016, she started running as a blue dog democrat, and was losing badly to a socialist
I have absolutely no idea what Hillary's real agenda is, other than whatever it takes to be queen
That's not the narrative that's made the news, but I'd be willing to bet that a man on the street would have been able to get that answer
As long as republicans can get their shit together and become more than "The Party of Trump" we'll be alright going forward. Lord knows all the left knows how to do is eat their own and be generally incoherent
We are going on 2 years into the Trump presidency and the Dems don't have a strong frontrunner
Bernie seems like the best bet, but he could croak at any moment
I didn't frame it as "this is what Republicans need to do", but my Saturday Video is a pretty decent outline of what Republicans needs to do in 2022 and beyond to answer the call of middle America
Nice I'll have to check it out
And LOL yeah one day Bernie will pick up a spoon and have a pudding cup and that will be his last
Ben always cracks me up with that bit
essentially, it's time to start running a bunch of Freshmen Politicians. There's a deeper reason that the establishment, and especially the left want trump to fail
Trump made it OK for anyone to run. And now we can crowdfund
Yeah Trump really broke everything haha
(in a good way)
