Tell them to deliver it, and send them the address of the county landfill.

If you think AOC is a “faker” because of her position on a single issue, then you are just a MAGA propagandist.

For all your words, you clearly don’t understand Politics.

Real Politics is about compromise, so ALL politicians have to have fuzzy boundaries sometimes. What really matters is the overall direction and morality of the politician. Are they compromising for the good of a bill that will offer a constructive improvement to America? Or are they compromising because it’s good for their career or their bank account?

I can get behind a decent, moral candidate, even if I don’t agree with all their positions, much more than a candidate with no morals who will tell me ANYTHING I want to hear.

I wish more people could understand that. So many people are still angry that the Dems won’t make him their candidate, but he is NOT a Democrat.

The presidential nomination is the highest award the party can give to a member, and they are going to give it to someone who has been a loyal party member, raised money for them, stuck up for them when they’ve done stupid stuff, etc.

Bernie is none of that. He may caucus with the Dems, but he has ALWAYS been an independent. For many years, he was the ONLY independent. He doesn’t raise money for them, doesn’t get in on their nefarious little backroom deals, doesn’t defend their nonsense on talk shows, etc. he’s been almost as critical of Dems as Republicans.

So the DNC is NEVER going to give him their nomination, any more than they’d give to a Republican. Imagine if the Dems decided to give the Democratic nomination to John McCain because he had a career of bipartisanship. Bernie is basically the same thing.

Nonsense. AOC is about as principled and moral as anyone can expect from a politician. Just because she doesn’t perfectly align with your expectations on this one specific issue, does not mean she should be tossed aside.

This position does not negate her positions on Universal Health Care, Climate Change, Worker’s Rights, Immigration Rights, etc. Even with her position on Israel (which could evolve) she is still on the correct side, and a strong warrior against MAGA.

It’s really, REALLY stupid to reject her on this one single position on this extremely complicated issue.

And this is why Dems lose elections - Republicans fall in line, Democrats fall in love.

The MAGAs will back anybody with an R, even if they are pedophiles, while a Dems will only vote for a candidate whose every single issue lines up perfectly to their individual demands. If not, they either don’t vote at all, or they vote for an impossible 3rd party candidate whose positions line up even less, but at least they aren’t a Dem.

I’ve been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. I’ve NEVER voted for a candidate I’ve liked. EVERY single vote I’ve made was the lesser of two evils. Frankly, as an independent who takes positions on both sides of the spectrum, depending on the issue, or often takes a nuanced position in the grey area in between, I doubt there ever could be a candidate who lines up perfectly for me.

AOC isn’t evil because her position on Gaza isn’t exactly what you want. We’ve seen and heard enough of her to understand that she’s a rare example among politicians: someone with authentic principles and morals, and motivated to fight hard for working Americans. She’s still worth following because at least we know that overall, she’ll be working for positive change for all Americans, and not just a tiny demographic.

We can’t make Perfect the enemy of positive change

Maybe?

WTF is wrong with you? Of course I’m not taking it personally, and obviously we wouldn’t be taking away billionaire’s fortunes under the current regime. There isn’t the Congressional votes to pass it, nor would HitlerPig sign it.

IF we manage to take our government back, AND remove the DINO Democrats who are nothing more than Republican-Lites, then we can hopefully have a Congress who will pass legislation authorizing a re-write of the 1974 Tax Code, which baked-in Trickle Down Economics, resulting in an annual $2 Trillion shift of revenue from the middle/working class to the wealthy.

And who would take it? The Democratic government, acting on behalf of the American people. It’s not done with guns (or shovels, WTF?), it’s done with computers, and law enforcement. Their bank accounts will be frozen and confiscated, and their properties and assets seized and sold at auction, or utilized by the government.

These mechanisms have always been available, the Dems just never used them, while the MAGAs never histate to exploit them as much as possible.

Your description of Universal Health Care is ridiculous, and instantly destroys any credibility you might have.

And how are you going to do that? Are you willing to take it by force? Because that’s the only way it’s going to happen. You have to take it by force.

No, we’ll take it by legislation and re-writing the tax code, but if they want to hold out, than yes, we’ll take it by force, and that will be a LOT worse for them.

Yeah, he was a larger than life character, and the end of the company was spectacular. Most companies end with a whimper, his ended with an explosion.

I have a little personal anecdote about the end of DeLorean Motor Cars. At the end, I was living in Cleveland, OH, where DeLorean’s brother had a Cadillac dealership, which also sold DeLoreans, of course.

When the company crashed, the government, or the bank, or the court, or somebody, was coming to take all the cars that were sitting in the factory parking lot in Detroit. The local news caught a helicopter shot of a long line of DeLoreans driving out of the lot, and down the road in a long line. They didn’t bother to follow them.

A few days later, it was reported that all the surplus DeLoreans were missing, and DeLorean was hiding them somewhere, and they showed the footage of the cars driving off.

A few days after that, I was taking one of my favorite shortcuts through Lakewood, the suburb where DeLorean Cadillac was located. My shortcut was a small road/alley, with far less traffic and lights, which went behind the businesses along the main road.

One of those businesses was DeLorean Cadillac, with a big parking lot behind the dealership. I’d passed that lot many times, and it was always a mix of Caddys and DeLoreans, but this time I saw that it was FULL of nothing but DeLoreans, packed in like sardines. I had no doubt that these were the missing DeLoreans that the authorities were searching for.

So, of course I notified the authorities where they could find the cars, right? Fuck NO. DeLorean didn’t seem like a bad guy, just a major dreamer who got desperate. I always kind of admired him. So I kept my mouth shut, and made the authorities find the cars without my help.

My family was from the North, but my dad was in the Army when I was a kid, and we bounced around to several bases in the South. When I got older, and talked to my parents about the Civil War, they were always adamant that the Southerners they’d known had never really surrendered, and truly believed that “The South Will Rise Again.”

I thought it was just talk, but apparently not. Southerners were holding onto that dream for better than 150 years.

This was the movie I immediately thought of.

It’s a terrific LOOKING movie, but the two leads had absolutely no chemistry. At first I couldn’t figure out if they were partners, spouses, dating, brother & sister, etc.

The production design was spectacular, though.

Peter Thiel’s new protege is JD Vance.

Not just minorities, they’re just first in line. White people shouldn’t feel so comfortable, once they feel like they’re getting the minorities under control, they’ll start coming for recalcitrant Caucasians, too.

They just banned it in Florida, with Meatball DeSatan calling it “forced medication,” and that if parents want their kids to have fluoride, they can give it to them. Now they want to ban those products, too.

So now we’re just going to reconfigure our entire society to indulge the fantasies of conspiracy theory weirdos?

This is also why if you hit the lottery, you should take the discounted upfront cash payout, and not get it paid in an annual annuity for 20 years. You never know if the government is suddenly going become moral about gambling, and cancel all lottery payments.

Take the money and run.

OBVIOUSLY, she was the conduit for this entire deal. Qatar had already paid her a fortune for her lobbying services, she would have been the first phone call they made to set up the deal.

Even she has that Pakled Homan to do the real dirty work. She just cosplays for photo ops.
