Trouble on the Democrat Plantation (Kanye got Woke)

It would be great to see some realistic opposition to Trump and the Republicans in general. A balanced system will help the most people. However, Democrats are failing in every way. They have a loser leadership with no direction, and only a record of embarrassing defeat. Yet, they refuse to fire the old croons and geezers at the top. They refuse to acknowledge the young peoples’ concerns, driving these voters to splinter into a radical leftist wing.

They don’t even have a unified theme for the upcoming elections, other than “not Trump the Nazi” or “meToo”, which either make them seem even more like just whiny losers or is something that people claim to care about but really don’t. (To be fair, Trump has claimed a lot of traditional Democratic themes, especially protectionism as his own, which does put the opposition in a tough spot).

Democrats are turning what should be the easiest political win into another blunder. How can anyone say that they are doing a good job. It really is Sad!

To be fair, that’s exactly how everyone viewed the Republicans a few years ago so I wouldn’t count the Democrats out yet.

The ‘republicans’ came back by nominating the 2 party system destroyer. establishment republicans aren’t fighting it because they know they are also finished. they got lucky though and are able to bow out without much attention. the list of those resigning or not seeking re-election is pretty staggering. that was their best option, believe me.

Yes, GOP basically got destroyed when their own voters chose Trump over all their internal candidates. No one can say that Trump represents the Republican old platform. I would have vomited in disgust if another Bush was elected President. Either Democrats wipe the slate clean somehow, or (most likely) just self implode because they are more interested in entrenching their old parasitic leaders than changing their party.

Dwayne “the candidate” Johnson for president!

big time satanist.

LMFAO. A+ delivery.

Woo hoo, a “balanced” corporatocracy! :neutral_face:

In honor of my Pinker vs Taleb project I am going to say this about political tribalism and where political victory should ultimately fall:

I am interested in Taleb’s idea of taking “scalability” into account. In Skin in the Game he quotes a similar mind saying:

“I am at the fed level at Libertarian, at the state level a republican, at the local level democrat and at the family and friends level a socialist.”

But I also agree with Pinker in his sentiment that political tribalism on all sides is making everyone the opposite of woke!

I find this odd, because at the federal level, with massive societies like US and CN, it can never be any other way than authoritarianism (Corporatism, Maoism, whatever). There’s simply no other way be organize hundreds of millions of people without top-down authoritarianism. The US just talks about “bla bla liberties” a lot, because those liberties are gone.

In small countries where we don’t have top-down authoritarianism, we don’t talk about liberties. :bulb:

It is not organizing hundreds of millions of people though. It is organizing the interest of a hand full of municipalities bottom up. :bulb:

I think I understand what you are saying (that regions have autonomy, and federal gov only needs to manage them, not individuals).

But in reality top-down control doesn’t stop there. American Corporatism uses gov propaganda, federal laws, federally-funded universities, and a nationally networked corporate media oligopoly, to reach down into the very family unit, and socially engineer everyone to the form which the state sees as moving society “forward.” Same with Maoist China, Modern China, Stalinist Russia, Nazi Germany, Modern Germany, etc. It’s tight top-down control, yes control of government/institutional tiers underneath, but also down to the individual tribal units. And as economic times get worse (now) the tyranny increases.

If it were not so, these mega societies wouldn’t achieve the size (and economic results) they do. They can’t have autonomous regions just doing what they want…the state falls apart! And to prevent autonomous regions, you brainwash everyone bottom-up (what propaganda accomplishes).

Totally not Russian bots, lol

get a load of this old koot. denial ain’t just a river in south america.

BOOOO, why’d you delete those gems?

The #walkaway movement, a campaign highlighting alleged discord among the left, got a boost this week from accounts linked to Russian influence operations. The first use of the #walkaway hashtag from accounts monitored on Hamilton 68 was noted in early June (a few weeks after the grassroots campaign began), but engagement remained relatively low throughout the month. Activity spiked on July 2, when Hamilton 68 noted 73 unique tweets using #walkaway, and roughly another 50 using related campaign hashtags (e.g. #walkawaymovement). The late engagement suggests Kremlin-oriented accounts are trailers rather than leaders of the campaign, but the high-level of current engagement indicates an effort to astroturf support for the movement and hijack the narrative. This includes several monitored accounts that have changed their handles to include the hashtag, or that have shared their own supposed walkaway moments. The campaign also received a direct boost from Russian propaganda outlets RT and Sputnik, both of which ran stories on the movement.

you willing to put your $ where this propaganda tells you to? Blue wave’s a comin’???

but dont worry guys turd will ignore numbers and facts from a nonpartisan organization set up to monitor russian propaganda and instead he will post many articles from the sites the russian propaganda bots post (notice breitbart, gateway pundit, etc etc) and post links from conservative websites that push the same agenda. strange how far right rags & russian propaganda push the same narrative

i have no clue who will win these next elections and i dont pretend to. but you are either an idiot who believes the russian propaganda they are being sold, or intentionally deceptive and morally bankrupt.

but oh i forgot some guy who says they are Q and know everything says you are the good guys and true PATRIOTS so it doesnt matter

(1) too little too late

(2) yo yayy, why is the DNC chairman apologizing to a bunch of Russian bots? Sooner or later you’ll get it. Until then you’ll be wrong on just about everything.

Another Russian bot pumping the #WalkAway farce. It’s comical, if you look on youtube there are literally thousands of these Russian Robots posting videos (granted they look like humans, but don’t be fooled – Turd knows, believe me).

Youtube really needs to put a stop to this Putin Propaganda.
