So true. I have to stand "left" on its head these days as it supports pure totalitarianism. The left no longer supports anything resembling those unalienable rights spoken of in the Constitution. The woke left has become the very beast they were ostensibly so fearful of.
Spot on. Since I'm a Marxist, I consider the goal of replacing capitalism with something better to be the fundamental definition of what it means to be "left." Which means Democrats and Social Democrats were never leftist.
Whether you agree with the Marxist definition or not, the Democrats are now clearly an authoritarian political party, intent on depriving all Americans of our constitutional rights in order for the Best People, ie THEM, to have the power to tell US how to live our lives or what we can say at school, work, or online.
And that triggers my version of American patriotism and honoring the oath I once took to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
As an American, I will join those with whom I disagree on other issues to make those fundamental rights of American citizens a reality for all for the first time. The result would HAVE to be a better place than the one we've got now.
Not a Marxist but most definitely against the current totalitarian scheme. The Americans in power currently are in league with the World Economic Forum, Bilderberg and Club Of
Rome. It is an attempt to take over world government and permanently destroy anything good about the United States and most other nation states. China is their darling.
Yup. Makes that pathetic lesser evil crap moot, doesn't it.
IMO, ALL the issues being flung about by both parties are merely campaign fodder, except, of course, those issues that either party can benefit monetarily - personally monetarily - from. All just fund-raising flak - except, really, considering they are now bought and paid for and owned - why do they need the chump change of ordinary citizens' donations? To give the illusion of participation?
The GOP is just as bloodthirsty over China as the Dems are over Russia. Except, of course, they will welcome anything from China that reveals the corruption of the Biden crime family.
I do think the EU may be starting to tatter and fray - France tells China that the West has fuck-all to do with Taiwan, Germany lectures China - IN CHINA - about human rights and supporting Russia and - Taiwan.
Am quite curious about what the hell the US/Dems think would happen if by some ridiculous nuclear assholery by Zelensky, Russia loses. Does Biden and his joke of an administration really think that BRICS will either disband or let the US join and tell it what to do? And the US may have murdered Gaddafi because of the threat of a gold standard that leaves the dollar out to dry - but gee, can the US murder ALL the leaders in Africa? Especially since Africa is busily kicking out the West? Do the Dems think they can wheel Hillary out like Hannibal Lecter and frighten the rest of the world into subservience? There is no endgame, it looks like to me, because the US vastly underestimated, not only Putin, but the rest of the non-West world. FFS, Milley has told his people to prepare the terms of a Russian surrender.
Yes, Biden/Dems have mucked up pretty much everything - and the GOP would not even pretend to fix things, just shovel their own brand of terrible things on our heads.
But hey, at least we have a video of Kid Rock shooting Bud Lite cans. That actually should be the new US logo or whatever. As if either party cares about that sort of thing except as campaign issue material.
That is one righteous screed. The Biden Administration is flailing like the Tsar's in 1905 for sure.
Something keeps telling me to read up on the Emperor Honorius. I'm wondering if Biden will go down in history as fucking up worse than he did.
All Honorius' flailing did was to result in the Visigothic sack of Rome in 410. Biden's probably literally caused the deaths of more people already, so when I do my comparison, Honorius is likely to come out looking relatively good.
All well and good, but… MTG? As a woman, I’m ashamed to share the xx thing with her. She’s obviously no friend to any of us on the true left. I’m sure she’d like to barbecue us all!
You’ve got a great point about the party on the left becoming the party on the right. But what does that make the other party? Sorry, but again as a female I can’t stomach their gross misogyny. Nobody gets to tell us what to do with our parts… and that includes allegedly “moderate“ Democrats as well as apparently just about all Republicans. A plague on both their houses!
Yes, a plague on both their houses - which is why the lesser evil stuff does not work any more, at least for me. As a woman, I am fully aware that the Dems only care about women's rights for campaign and fund-raising purposes.
Sort of how we are told that the GOP wants to slash Social Security - um, Biden has literally boasted about how many times he has tried to slash Social Security, and, IMO, it really is just another campaign issue for him. And then there is Obama and his Cat Food Commission. And Clinton was all set to privatize Social Security, in league with Newt, but then Newt backed off when Bill's wandering pecker became famous. Which begs the question - why is is bad when Trump paid off Stormy Daniels, but nary a peep about Hillary's lawyers on retainer to deal with Bill's Bimbo eruptions? This is why, to me, neither party is lesser evil, and I will not vote for either of them. And anyone who thinks any of the Dem ladies care about women, except as a divisive issue, has just not been paying attention.
Well said! Yeah, nobody seems to remember Bill Clinton's little liaison with a woman named Gennifer Flowers. Or how he assaulted one of his interns, Monica Lewinsky. Heck, they don't even remember Joe Biden being caught for plagiarism in law school and sexually assaulting Tara Reade. The Dem cultists just vote "blue no matter who" and go on and on about women's rights to an abortion, etc. All these Blue MAGA cultists care about is fundraising, and abortion rights is one of their bigger fundraising issues. At least with the Red MAGA cultists you don't get such hypocrisy. They're pretty plain about their prejudices. Thank heavens for third parties! #DitchTheDuopoly
Hmm... I have two daughters who were about that age when Monica was seduced by her much older married boss. Would you be happy if your daughters worked for a man who would use his power over his underlings to force them into doing sex acts in order to keep their jobs? Good parents would have had him tossed into jail before you could say "serial rapist." Bill Clinton is your classic serial rapist, using his position to seduce interns. That isn't "consensual sex" by any means.
From Monica’s account,it was mutual and consensual.She didn’t appear to have been frightened she would lose her job if she didn’t come across.It was basically an inter office romance,which may not be the greatest thing but if it’s mutual consent,no harm no foul.The way Bill treated a woman nearly his own age,Juanita Broderick,was far more horrible.
When I've had much older bosses making moves on me, I was pressured into going along with it (and not telling on them or losing my job). Bill was a married man old enough to be her father. I see it more like statutory rape. But then I'm a mother of young women and have been a victim of assault myself, so I know how cunning and manipulative rapists can be. There's never any excuse for a married man in a position of power over a younger female taking advantage of her sexually, even if she says it was "mutual." She was probably coached to do so with either threats of losing her job or promises, like "I'll leave my wife if you only do as I tell you to do..." Never apologize or cover up for rapists.
Well, it looks like Bill's very own Wiki page of adulteries has been scrubbed, and now there is a page of "accusations". IMO, Bill Clinton is a sexual predator, and those who whitewash that are reprehensible. But they do represent the Democrat Party perfectly. Hmmmm... I remember when referring to the Dem party as "Democrat" instead of "Democratic" was considered a sure sign of being a Republican. Now it is merely a sign of recognition that the Dem Party has never been Democratic.
All well and good, but… MTG? As a woman, I’m ashamed to share the XX pair with her. She’s obviously no friend to any of us on the true left. I’m sure she’d like to barbecue us all!
You’ve got a great point about the party on the left becoming the party on the right. But what does that make the other party? Sorry, but again as a female I can’t stomach their gross misogyny. Nobody gets to tell us what to do with our bodies… and that includes allegedly “moderate“ Democrats as well as apparently just about all Republicans. And it especially includes that fuckwit “judge” in Amarillo, who’s trying to take away the mifepristone pill at a national level.
As for Greene and the rest of the trumpy assholes - a blind hog may find an acorn once in a while, but it’s still a blind hog.
I think it's silly to be ashamed of sharing gender or ethnic traits with anyone. I don't get it.
As for telling women what to do with your own bodies, Joe Biden has never felt you had that right. He said so back in the day. Now he's just lying to you.
If Democrats wanted to codify abortion rights into law, they could have easily done it in 1993, 2009, or 2021, but they didn't even try. Abortion is just a fundraising gimmick for them and their NGOs. The best way to protect that right is to get it on the ballot in your state.
It should be on Ohio's ballot in November. If it is, I'll vote Yes to make choice a woman's right in the Ohio Constitution, and so will a majority of Ohioans.
I'd certainly vote for the bodily autonomy rights in Ohio! I'm with you on people who are somehow "ashamed" by persons who share gender or ethnic traits with you. If that was the case, I'd be horribly ashamed by all the women who supported a lying warmonger named Hilary Clinton and a heartless bitch named Madeline Albright. But individuals can make mistakes and learn and grow. I know I did. I will never support anyone of any gender or ethnic identity who supports endless wars for oil/resources and has no qualms over 500,000 dead Iraqi children like these two women did. You know, I'm just ashamed to be a part of a Western culture that places so much emphasis on killing others around the world just to give the US hegemony and support the petrodollar as the standard reserve currency. Long live the BRICS nations!
I AM ashamed of all the baby boom women who sucked Hillary’s bovine teats and cheered on that war criminal Madwoman Halfbright.Every last one of those women gave the word female a bad name.Abd Gid help you if you didn’t want to vote for a woman just because it was a woman.I loved telling them,”I did vote for a woman,just not HillaryI voted for Jill Stein.”
Remember, it was even MORE a fundraising gimmick for the Repugs… until it turned them into the dog that caught the car. But it’s no question that *they* - not the Dims - were the ones who snatched those rights away from us, through Mango Mussolini and his selected SCOTUS ‘bots. They deserve every bit as much contempt as the latter. They’re authoritarian f*cks of the worst kind, and certainly no better than their putative opponents.
I no longer think in terms of "left" and "right". Our problems are caused by the tensions between those at the "top" and the rest of us at the "bottom". Our enemies aren't on the left or right--our enemies are those who have placed themselves above us, the workers. Whoever calls out the abuses of those who lord over us is worth supporting, IMO. (Nice to meet you, Ohio Barbarian, from another Ohioan seeking Revolution.)
I wouldn’t vote for a Femocrat on a bet now.I went for JD Vance in the last Senste race.The warmongering and lies and election rigging disgusts me utterly.

The Democratic Party is so corrupt that it is little more than a vast money-laundering operation. The old DLC set it up that way, and it remains so.
Bill’s affair with Monica seems to have at least been consensual,though that wasn’t true with some of his dealings.
Hmm... I have two daughters who were about that age when Monica was seduced by her much older married boss. Would you be happy if your daughters worked for a man who would use his power over his underlings to force them into doing sex acts in order to keep their jobs?
