Just deeper in the gutter than they already are.Speaking about shitting in one' nest, what's going on in the scumlican's nest?????? Where's Trumpism going?????
Disagreed. He's smart, experienced and educated, but he's also suffering some form of mental cognitive decline. Like most such conditions, this often comes with paranoia and the inability to process new information. It could be dementia, like many of JPP's older MAGAts, but he's a bit young for that. A TBI or stroke could explain it.Gardner is extremely naive.
He's been on a consistent decline over the past few years. Not a way I want to go.Gardner is just not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Adding "Democratic" to socialism amounts to:Denying the definition doesn't change what they actually support.
I'm not the one pushing for socialism when history shows with conclusive evidence that it always ends up failing and the society it is imposed on is worse off for it.Gardner is extremely naive.
"Socialism" is a broad economic ideology advocating for social ownership or control of the means of production, distribution, and exchange, while "democratic socialism" is a specific branch that seeks to achieve this goal through democratic processes rather than revolution or an authoritarian state.Adding "Democratic" to socialism amounts to:

MAGAts believe in extremism: Either you are a fascist or you are a communist/socialist/marxist. Yes, weird."Socialism" is a broad economic ideology advocating for social ownership or control of the means of production, distribution, and exchange, while "democratic socialism" is a specific branch that seeks to achieve this goal through democratic processes rather than revolution or an authoritarian state.
Core Differences
Feature Socialism (Classic/Traditional)Democratic Socialism
Approach to PowerOften associated with revolution or a centralized, one-party state to seize control of the economy (as seen in historical Marxist-Leninist states like the Soviet Union).Achieves goals through established democratic institutions, free and fair elections, and gradual reforms (using the "ballot box" rather than force).
Economic ModelTraditionally advocates for a centrally planned economy with the complete abolition of private ownership.Favors a mixed economy with a combination of public and private ownership, significant government regulation, strong social welfare programs, and worker self-management (workplace democracy).
Political SystemIn practice, has often resulted in authoritarian or bureaucratic systems with limited individual liberties and political freedoms.Explicitly values and protects political democracy, civil liberties, and individual rights as fundamental components of society.
View on CapitalismSeeks the complete overthrow of the capitalist system.Aims to transform capitalism, often starting with reforms to curb its excesses and eventually transitioning to a post-capitalist system where the working class democratically runs the economy.

I suspect that the report shows that the party is controlled by the oligarchs, and that the party does not give a flying fuck what you and me think/want/need.Maybe. But most Democrats know what the problem is. It is the Party.
Suicide is for cowards. Face death like a man and go out the right way. God gave you life,...he will take it back in his timeframe. Plus you leave behind a whole lot of mental scars on your loved ones when you take your own life. It really is the cowards way for people who do not care about others.He's been on a consistent decline over the past few years. Not a way I want to go.
My Plan B is a hike in the mountains with a pocketful of fentanyl, some pot and a .45 for backup. I'd really hate for a loved one to find my body. Too traumatic. Those who do it are clearly irrational if they've proved to be loving people over their lives. My plan is for my body to never be found. Critters can eat the meat, but the bones would still exist.
So far, my idea is a fold up shovel to find a depression and then enhance it. Yes, I'm smart but also lazy. Enhance the hole, it has to be facing West so I can watch the Sun set, take the drugs and keep the .45 handy. The time of year is important too in order to enhance hypothermia...itself not a bad way to good albeit shivering from cold....that's where the drugs help.
All JPP MAGAts are too cowardly to do the right thing for their families. This is the proof they are scum. Selfish people. UnAmerican. Sad.
ABSOLUTELY.I suspect that the report shows that the party is controlled by the oligarchs, and that the party does not give a flying fuck what you and me think/want/need.
That is why the people in charge are trying to bury it.
^^^^^^^^^^ This post will make a lot of LWers SEETHE. Know why? Because they more than just about anybody know just how true it is.....Want to know what's REALLY wrong within the Democrat party? I tell you,...and even someone like Hume will most likely agree with me. A lot of the younger, dumber, and more naive younger Democrats want a lot more democratic Socialism, if not outright socialism. Problem is......the vast majority of the old heads in leadership positions within the Democrat party are full on capitalists that would make DJT blush. Those fuckers became outright wealthy with almost no skills whatsoever other than LYING and throwing out JUST ENUFF table scraps to the beggars to keep them in line and voting for them. They LOVE unbridled capitalism,...it made them RICH,...why wouldn't they? And the dumbasses who keep voting for them keep falling for it decade after decade. Don't you assholes get it yet? They aren't ever going to give you SHIT except maybe a few little token handouts that are not enuff to raise a rabbit on. You are nothing more than a SLAVE to them. JOIN US where if you are hard working and industrious you too can live the dream. Stay with them and you will ALWAYS beg for the table scraps and the leavings. Smarten up.....IDIOTS.
Let’s be honest… democratic socialists want a European style socialism, which was indirectly propped up by American defense spending, and that continent is dying.Denying the definition doesn't change what they actually support.

Yep.......he is in a lot of pain and suffering. Most of it mental and spiritual. Hopefully he finds peace.This looks like a suicide manifesto
To his credit he tried by not responding. I know my rebuttals only reminded him of his failed military career, alcoholism and addiction to benzodiazepines (by his own admission).Yep.......he is in a lot of pain and suffering. Most of it mental and spiritual. Hopefully he finds peace.
