We have to split up!

Thanks for the welcome. Do they really allow open racism here? I just saw a couple posts that seemed way over the top.

Yep. You can't put racist or other slurs in thread titles, but saying the n-word repeatedly seems to be okay. Misogyny and homophobia are also permitted.
 
Hello and welcome LeftTurnClyde,

Standard message for newcomers:

Please note my own rules are more strict that the site rules:

"Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well."

If you're good with that, we'll be fine. If not we probably won't be talking long.



I'm a moderate liberal Democrat who voted for Joe, voted for sane mature leadership. He was not my first choice, but I am pleased with his performance so far.

We need an opposition party to keep us in check. The Republican party is having an identity crisis. The old GOP is dying, and being replaced by radical extremists.

I never did see how they could hate government but then want to be the ones who run what they hate.

If the GOP melts down and Democrats don't have any guardrails, we would do things that would surely raise strong objections with the rest of the USA. Not good.

The country needs to drop the we/they animosity, begin ignoring the extremists, and have some mature discussions about policy.



Hi friend.


I don't give racists or fascists any quarter. if that means you will protect racists in this thread or your threads you are correct we wont be talking long. I am not sure what you mean you have your own policy or what the consequences would be for violating it but rest assured, I will stand up to fascists and racists every time. we all should.
 
It's almost impossible to run afoul of the mods here. Don't accuse any posters of pedophilia, but if you want to accuse the President of the United States of that crime, no problem. Racist, homophobic, xenophobic, all of it is a-okay, just don't put a slur in your thread title. Save it for the body. It's sublime. My hope is that eventually the Trump cult will leave and we can start having legitimate discussion again.

Thankfully since the #FailedCultCoup, we have seen a great decline in the more virulent Reichwingers' attendance here. There are still some Klingons but for the most part the level of discourse has improved, IMO.

That's disgusting. however I can respect the forum allowing disgusting people to expose themselves. seems there are a lot of disgusting people here.


Glad to meet you!
 
Aw, just wook at all the "Hello Fellow Traveler" greetings!
Is there a secret Communist handshake? LOL!

Earl has disappeared. He made such a fool of himself I guess he figured he couldn't show his face, at least under that name. I'm sure he's one of the noobies. SmarterthanYou appears to have disappeared, I am beginning to think he was involved in the capitol insurrection and has been indicted. He was easily the most likely candidate here for that. The rest of them seem to have lost their mojo. They just start thread after thread of grievances and white man's burden.
 

Good luck with that, Sister Seditionist! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

All we have to do is simply sit 22 out. Let them have it. ALL OF IT. By the time its all over the people will BEG US to take it back. Be patient.

I can not believe how crazy you are. You do not know how far down the rabbit hole you have fallen.
I don't think the people want insurrectionists in power. When Trump was speechifying near the capitol, Parlers calls for Civil War exploded 400 percent.
 
Cinnabar and I have recognized for some time that our only realistic options are to be reduced to a fifty-state violent anarchy, or to partition into nations that might actually have a measure of domestic tranquility.

If Middle America and the Deep South choose to stay together, fine.
They'll have a third world economy, but they happily won't have us "perverted communists" and "nigger lovers" to blame for it.

Coastal progressives cannot share a nation with these pathetically regressive and morally deficient people (or devolved mutants as the case may be).
We cannot live within the same borders and share the same government.
What's happening right now proves it pretty convincingly.

All arguments to the contrary fail to stand up to either fact or logic.
 
Yes, I oppose fascism everywhere. you do not? I bet your net worth would go up under communism.

You oppose The American way, and The American Dream, numbnuts.

I don't care if my "net worth" would go up under communism. Homie don't play that!

If you were smart, you'd be trying to do something about government corruption and bribery.
 
Because we clearly have consensus on what those things are, right Miss Kitty?
You only wish that you had nuts, numb or otherwise.

You don't even know what The American Dream is? Sad.

The American Dream is getting a job, house with white picket fence, supporting a wife, some kids..
and a boat or RV and taking a 2-week vacation every year.

Over some decades, the politicians have stripped some of the wealth and upward mobility from the people.
While not as easily doable as in decades past, it is still doable.
I would like to roll things back to when most people had a good shot at it.
What I was taught when I was an apprentice at 23, worked then for just about everybody but doesn't now...yet it still works for me somehow.

I was told this:
1 week's worth of work should pay for your housing. The next week's pays for bills and groceries.
The next 2 you can either save or blow, up to you. I chose/choose to save and eat cheap. (A lot of the time)

A big problem nowadays is step 1 isn't so doable these days. Insurance and municipalities and the Fed have all contributed to the cost of housing rise.

It's over. We cannot have a functioning Democracy or progress with entities so hell bent on destroying both. There are no more lines left to cross. The enemy has infiltrated the government and we need to break the fuck up already.

Are you clowns gonna be the confederacy again? How'd that work for you the last time?
 
A shit smear can be cleaned up


We need to kill the nest


Fox News must die


Then the shit smearing minions of the Republican Party will disperse

They can’t think up anything on their own


Kill fox , clean and disinfect the walls and watch the cockroaches scatter to the sewer where they belong


This is our nation


No need to give them a crumb of it

Hello LeftTurnClyde,

No way I support or defend racists or fascists. I can always be counted on to oppose hatred.

I have a feeling the two of us will be just fine. We are of similar views.

As for my policy, I simply refuse to talk to overt racists or people who disrespect me. I put them on Ignore; and I never take anyone off Ignore. Naturally, I have a large Ignore list. That is by design. I fully expected to do that when I decided certain people are not worth my time to talk to.

I prefer to seek out the polite participants for mutually respectful discussions here. As long as you don't try to make things personal with me we can have many great conversations. And you can trust that I will not do that to you either. Fair enough?
 
Sounds about right. That's why I always vote Libertarian in elections. If no Libertarian is running, I always vote for the challenger, regardless of party.

Vote the fuckers out until only good people remain in Congress.

This is childish and lame
