Cuomo and Spitzer are 2 awesome examples of how the left shoots itself... it wasn't even close to Weiner level... Cuomo wasn't even as bad as sniffer Biden, just a simple hatchet job... you call it "politically convenient", I call it stupid... Idiots... taken out by the very media that you say "rule the airwaves".

It's really dramatic to say "weaponize" and "rig", it's straight out of the right's messaging... it's amazing how many will play the victim... I just don't get how this messaging makes any sense and keeps being parroted... it's like some kid looking for sympathy because "life isn't fair"... boo ducking hoo.

Both parties have special dysfunction... left has plenty you can have panic attacks about... the right keeps playing the victim and letting itself be hijacked by the whackos, getting absolutely nothing done.
Oh stop with the "both parties" nonsense. Yes, the GOP is entirely dysfunctional. A clown show, filled with idiots and the occasional bright bulb that joined #MAGA. I'd vote to clear out most of them if it didn't mean handing the reigns of power to the Democrats. If we still had a functioning system. As it is, Santos is nothing more than a bit of gum stuck in the leaking dyke, preventing Biden's puppeteers from advancing their radical left agenda.

See, that's the thing. The Democrats may have some reasonable policies - in fact, until relatively recently, I was one of them. And then the mask slipped off and we realized they were only reasonable because they didn't have the power they needed to advance their true agenda. In case you weren't keeping score, that's the agenda of neoliberalism: open borders, Soros DAs, globalism, eco-terrorism, and somehow, married with the worst part of the right, endless foreign wars to waste away our lives and treasure.

I've said this before, but the Democrats are a damaged brand. I couldn't care less about culture war issues like abortion or gay marriage, even if I'm on their side with that. They stink like rotten meat. I know that along with that "right to choose" and possibly-maybe a better healthcare system, I get anti-white racism, tranny story hour, and mandated ineffective "vaccines".

Quite sure there were some people who voted for the Nazis because they embraced socialized health care. But you got world war and genocide as a package deal. No thanks.

Sounds more like you fell down the rabbit hole of far-right conspiracy theories. Do you believe in the cabal of pedophiles executing people on behalf of Hillary Clinton as well?

Or maybe the media you consume is portraying all democrats that way and you're incapable of understanding nuance?

The surest sign of an uneducated person is one who claims the Nazis were actually socialist. Maybe you should stop talking about things you know nothing about.

Yep he didn’t make a single logical argument against what you said. Typical leftist. That’s what they do when they have no real arguments to make, they just yell “conspiracy!” “Qua-non!” “Racist!”. It’s like trying to talk to a brick wall. Pointless.

Just to take the lowest hanging fruit here, I wasn't saying the Nazis were "socialist" but they did have socialized healthcare.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation...le%27s_Welfare

Quote:
The NSV restricted its assistance from the very beginning to individuals of "Aryan descent" who met a range of conditions to be deemed worthy of support, officially stating that its aim was to promote "the living, healthy forces of the German people."[9] The list of those excluded from NSV benefits was composed of "alcoholics, tramps, homosexuals, prostitutes, the 'work-shy' or the 'asocial', habitual criminals, the hereditarily ill (a widely defined category) and members of races other than the Aryan."[9]
Mind you, anything Nazi has to come with disclaimers like this.

Quote:
Within these limitations, 17 million Germans received assistance under the auspices of NSV by 1939, and the agency operated 8,000 day-nurseries, funded holiday homes for mothers, distributed additional food for large families and was involved with a wide variety of other facilities.[9] It "projected a powerful image of caring and support" for those who were seen as full members of the German racial community, while also inspiring fear through its intrusive questioning and the threat of opening a Gestapo investigation on those who did not fulfill the criteria for support.[10]
Yeah so like they provided healthcare to most Germans but excluded freaks and foreigners. Not "socialist" at all but my point stands.

What was there to even argue against? Powell has already made up his mind based on his biased perceptions of reality. No amount of evidence is going to change that. The right will ignore any evidence that doesn't fit their narrative and dismiss it as "mainstream media propaganda" in favor of whatever far-right conspiracy blog they read. Very much like trying to talk to a brick wall. People on the right stopped arguing in good faith a long time ago and decided to demonize their political opponents as the enemy. It's a waste of energy trying to debate them. They are too far gone.

I would love to see you argue any one of these points I made:

Don't the Democrats stand for that stuff right now? I don't mean individual democratic voters. I mean the party writ large. Are those things not part of the platform? Don't blame the "right wing" because you were a giant wuss that found Trump offensive and voted for a corpse reanimated by lunatics.

No. And as the person making the accusation, the burden of proof lies with you, not me.

Also didn’t you say you were done with this thread?

I remember when the right kept dismissing Trump Russia Collusion despite two years of bombshell(!) evidence the Dems and their media presented.

And then they dismissed the notion that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. Even after 50 (fifty!) experts said it was. And every Dem imaginable And all the social media sites.

And then they insisted there had no be an alternative to the Fauci/media/Dem explanation of the Origen of the Covid virus.

Science deniers.

And talk about blockheads regarding the narrative on BLM.

Racists!

And they question Biden’s mental fitness.

Outrageous.

No idea why they are suspicious of media and Democratic (but I repeat myself) narratives . No idea at all.
