"I do not think that liberals understand the difference between influence and power, and the liberals get confused seeking influence rather than power. The conservatives on the right wing, or the fascists, understand power, though, and they move to consolidate power while the liberal pushes for influence."
Thanks for sharing that link. It unfortunately still shows to be true even today. :(
I fully expect it especially if they plan on doing things that will ensure they never lose power again.
It's fucked up in a way, for the last decade "the left" has been saying the Republican party is dead Soon™ but I actually think the Democratic party just died. I don't see them recovering from this and their obstinate "leader" has signaled that they have no intention on learning a lesson. If that holds true then no matter what Republicans do, they'll retain power indefinitely so axing the filibuster would have no downsides for them.
I wish I had something more comforting to say, but all I'm left with is rage towards the people that put you in this situation. So many people have so much more unnecessary anxiety now just so already disgustingly wealthy people can be more disgustingly wealthy.
I wish all the calls for guillotines weren't just empty words. :(
If we wanted to be Republicans we'd be Republicans for fucks sake...
We can't have 2 parties fighting to be the most hateful party of the billionaires. I mean I guess we can but only one gets to win.
Looks like I'll be cancelling my already stupidly expensive Internet service... I hate these fucking people...
Back to the stone age with all of their fucked up "policies."
I'm more of a bone apple tea myself, but I hear liber tea keeps the bugs away!
Once they kill the provision that protects people with pre-existing conditions I'm dropping my health insurance completely. I refuse to pay them through my lost potential income for a "service" that they will just deny as soon as possible. Medical insurance companies can go fuck themselves.
I wonder how many good people are out there that just won't get into politics because they're "children of the Internet."
I'm not saying I'm worth a shit, but my Internet footprint over my life would have me destroyed if I got into politics. I try to leave as little as I can truly public of myself, but back in the Myspace days and early Facebook I was very very ignorant.
"We have the perfect candidate lined up for 2028! We've recruited Dr.Frankenstein and in a world first we've resurrected both Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, stitched them together, and they will be the new face of the Democratic party! Vote for us or you're racist and just want Donald Trump to win!"
There’s a cost associated with media more concerned with profits than the public interest.
Media: good thing we're not the ones paying the price! Continue current heading, profits ho!
"Remember Giuliani just keep mentioning political persecution like the rest of us so when we actually do it people will feel it is justified. Liberals will complain and we can call them hypocrites."
True enough. I honestly want this to be the death of the party, let a party actually worth voting for come up, but that's just a fantasy.
