Q: Is "Drumpf" the new "Killary?"
Because no matter how elequent and convincing the discussion, once one of those two terms is played, it's impossible to take the author seriously.

Drumpf, Fuckface Von Clowstick, or Cheeto-Jesus are the only names I am going to use. I'll switch them up so they stay fresh, just for you.Q: Is "Drumpf" the new "Killary?"

Of course it's totally your right to express yourself on the same plane as those who latched on to Killary if it pleases you, but it just doesn't seem to suit your intelligence level though.Drumpf, Fuckface Von Clowstick, or Cheeto-Jesus are the only names I am going to use.

Bummer.

Fine. You know what, I was thinking about it while walking the dogs and on the drive in to work, and you're right. Three times in one week.Of course it's totally your right to express yourself on the same plane as those who latched on to Killary if it pleases you, but it just doesn't seem to suit your intelligence level though.

Since $tinkle is gone, I guess it's your job to hold up the mirror in the liberal circle jerk that PaWN usually is. No matter how warped and distorted that mirror may be. Imma grown ass man and I suppose I should act like one.
What pisses me off most is all the "We have to work together, we are all 'murikans and he is our President..." rhetoric being floated now by moron right wingers. BULLSHIT. Where was that during the past 8 fucking years? As Bernie said-
“Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics and the establishment media. People are tired of working longer hours for lower wages, of seeing decent paying jobs go to China and other low-wage countries, of billionaires not paying any federal income taxes and of not being able to afford a college education for their kids - all while the very rich become much richer.
“To the degree that Mr. Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him. To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him.”
I STILL stand with Bernie.
And you want some lefty rage? Here ya go...and a bit of truth thrown in for good measure-

The fact is that they didnt so much vote FOR Drumpf as they voted AGAINST (S)Hillary...especially those disenfranchised Sanders supporters who were gutted by what Wasserman-Schultz and Podesta did to our man Bernie...the Democrats deserve what they get, because they are responsible for this.
it was between continuing obama's legacy with clinton or winning a election with bernie...our party made their choice.
Was Bernie too far outside the entrenched DNC hierarchy that if he won, he'd be a threat to the leadership establishment - was that one of the reasons that made it so easy for Hillary to have him fragged?
the dnc isn't ready to be that progressive yet...
the crazy uncle who sits at the kids table at the holidays...

I'm sure that was part of it. The fact that he's never even attempted to anchor a (D) to his name prior to running for president must have perturbed the DNC. Then, when he stared stealing a lot of her thunder and actually building support they had to have been pissed. If he could upset the Clinton apple cart, imagine what he could do to the rest of them?
Talking about you Debbie.
I don't think he's done upsetting the apple cart actually. Given the shit show the DNC has become the last three days, there may be a lot more party heads on the gate before the dust settles.
Already hearing this which is followed by a vigorous denial of accusations that Trump is a racist, misogynistic xenophobe despite the overwhelming evidence. It's absolutely appalling to me to be told to get behind him because he's the president. This bullshit about now is the time for healing and coming together that Trump is now selling is demonstrative of a classic bully. He has exploited the hatred and fear of a small percentage of the population with aggressive and divisive tactics. He has insulted countless minorities, religions, the disabled, veterans, and incited violence towards those who oppose him. This is what domestic abusers do to their victims; inflict harm then "help heal" the very wounds they inflicted.
So sad that some otherwise good people are blind to this.
Do you so easily forget the great unity rallies after Obama's election, freedom hater?
bernie won't get a second chance to run as a dem if he is still alive....the dnc will shut that shit down.
Well, I meant more currently with the DNC and the democratic caucus's in the senate and congress than running again. His age will be a real issue. I honestly thought it was a bit of an issue during this election cycle.
False equivalence. Trump's family name historically was actually DrumpfQ: Is "Drumpf" the new "Killary?"

So you hate real modern democracies then? Don't forget only white male landowners.
Australia has compulsory voting for their former penal colony and they've managed to do things like stop mass shootings.
i think they will treat him like the kid who is 8 years old and still shits himself regularly.
They've also got a really nasty fucked up right wing government...
I'm really tired of both the Republicans and the Democrats at this point. Some combination of Bernie and Elizabeth representing a viable third party would be delicious, but is very improbable.
"Opposed to" and "hatred" are two different things. Freedom is freedom even if you choose to let other's decide elections - which is what many people do. So yeah, I'm good with it.
Anyhow your hyperbole is very FOX News'ish, as is your right.
I got a six pack of cold ones that says Trump won't be as fucked up as his campaign led us to believe.
If there's one thing that's been consistent about every president that I've heard over the years is, they're mostly full of shit.

Care to provide another good example? I am quite sure there aren't mass shootings in North Korea either but I suspect it has little to do with compulsory voting.
So those developed democratic countries that don't disfranchise are less free and democratic than America? Who is towing Fox News nonsense again?
I have never made a statement on any other form democracy or country or form of government - you are reading something into my post that just isn't there. Very FOX of you.
I didn't claim whores and pimps shouldn't be voting. That's more fox news of you, not me.
Neither did I, I simply said that their poor judgement needn't be perpetuated through compulsory voting; I never said they shouldn't vote - they just shouldn't be forced to vote. Fox on!
Agree
Voting is a right much like the Second Amendent right to own guns, but just because everyone who's eligible to exercise their right can - it certainly doesn't mean everyone should. I'm no way in favor of compulsory voting nor gun ownership in the US.
Not so much that he was "outside the entrenched DNC hierarchy" but that he was blatantly a Democrat of convenience.
He only joined the party for his run at the presidency, much like Trump did.
Both were extremist ends of the respective parties political spectrum and both only joined the party as a short term means to go for the top job.
The Republican hierarchy rolled over for the faux party member the Dem's didn't.
You specifically said you didn't want less informed voters to vote (which includes a good portion of Trump AND Hillary voters, not just less desirable to you disfranchrised voters). That's not democracy:
" I only want input from safer, better drivers with tires that grip in the wet."
Our choice of candidates was diarea or vomit in two years the best people need to get voted in and hopefully in four years our candidate choice will only be heart burn and gas

I would use extremist to describe Mr. Trump, but not Mr. Sanders, who is a solidly grounded pragmatist.

Anyone interested in how the Nazis & Hitler came to power in post WWI Germany, I recommend this well researched 10 part TV series:
Well shit, I screwed that up some how. The whole point of posting that was to include this interview on NPR I heard this morning. You don't have to get even two minutes into it to hear "but he doesn't really mean it".
