I thought it was going to be all the 'BiDeN JeNoSiDez' people from here. Even though they would have been turned away at the door. Well, they would have enjoyed it anyway.
You're a lot angrier at people who don't love genocide than you are at those actually in attendance.
Nope. Evil right-wing Earthkilling nutjobs and those who choose to allow them unfettered free rein are both awful.
Yes, Republicans and centrist Democrats are both awful.
Because they both support genocide.
How do centrist Democrats (who I agree, are awful) give republiQans free rein to do what they want? That doesn’t make sense. Are we just saying words now?
Gorbachev Sings Tractors! Buttocks!
If you think centrist Democrats are ever gonna meaningfully oppose Republicans, you shouldn't be mocking me as being unrealistic.
I mean, you’d have to define “meaningfully” as you’re using it, but centrist Dems oppose republiQan legislation and political moves all the time. You want vote counts or news articles as proof? Some other kind of proof? You’re just wrong.
Sure.
Examples? Names? Or are we just hand-waving.
No, just dismissing your evidence-free ridiculous statement with greater attention than it will ever deserve.
"evidence free" huh. What evidence would you like? Hey, let's assume for funsies that you're actually arguing in good faith and that you don't believe a centrist democrat "ever" opposes republiQan legislation. Is that what you think is "evidence free"? Because I'll go get it. Just say the word.
WHO is the "centrist Democrat" in question?
This thread is 4 days old. If you're gonna wait a whole day between comments just to see how long you can keep this going, I'm not going to continue.
So you took the time to answer without answering. Cool. Good talk. Okay then, have fun storming the castle.
