Why call out TBoy ?

I get it he/she has a different position than others, but your post could stand on it's own rather than posting something many will agree with and not read.

What I would like for them to answer is this simple question:

"Would you still be in favor of allowing non-citizens to vote IF every morsel of the rigged election voting to date went 100% Republican in lieu of 100% Democrat?"

We all know this answer, yet no one is on record asking the guilty corrupted "elected officials" this question.

I'm not a Democrat but feel I can generally speak on this subject:

Boomer and GenX dems are not a fan.
Millenials and GenZ dems love this shite.

Bottom line, if it's not Constitutional, it won't see the light of day. So, I kind of like it taking over the Dems.

If they continue down this path, their party will eventually get taken over by another party who is more moderate.

You can only swing so far one way or the other until the zeitgeist is ok with it. We're still a LONG way from that.

I think it has become imperative to call a spade a spade at this juncture in time.

If they're supporting today's modern leftist party, they aren't Democrats. They're DINOs. The true label they wear is pinko commie.

And fwiw, I'm a solidly staunch conservative and I'm a registered Independent because I recognize that the vast majority of the GOPe are RINOs that use their honeyed words to speak a conservative agenda but in practice they only advance the Uniparty agenda.

Older millennials are in their 40s. It is not like you are talking about a demographic that is far away from power.

You mean the establishment. People are tired of it. MAGA are people are are pro- America and support Trump's populist positions. The Dems' turn is bringing socialism, It's never worked anywhere. It brings on misery. So, one side if for America and the other is for bringing it down,

My question is as a democrat, how do you feel about this perceived takeover of your party?


I hate it, but this is what happens when voters become disenfranchised with their party and have seen nothing but a downhill trajectory for most of their lifetimes. People start looking for radical alternatives when the status quo is not and has not been working

Well, they used to be heavily into "the workin' man" vote. They started losing those voters about 10-15 years ago and it's getting worse. The commie movement is making it worse because when people like Mamdami attack 'the billionaires' those are rich people who hire a lot of workers.

You don't know much about politics I see.

Go watch a Clinton/Gore campaign speech. Those guys would be labeled far-right by today's standards.

MAGA is a coalition of many ex-Democrats(the Walk Away Movement), old neo-cons who got tired of the GOP inacting Democratic policies, small "l" libertarians(yay to me), classic liberals and others.

It is definitely center of the American political spectrum.

Of course, I must ask this;
What exactly is wrong with being far right when far right represents capitalism and far left represents communism?
The far right equals free markets and the far left equals state control. Sorry, call me far right. At least the far right didn't slaughter over 200 million citizens in the 20th century alone. That was the left.

Oh, and I know you will try to say the far right is fascists. Little do you realize that is revisionism. Fascism relied on the same exact economic mechanism socialism and communism rely on. Basically all three equal differing levels of state capitalism, where the state has total control over means of production and then dole it back out as they see fit.

So, I am not ashamed to be right-wing. You should be very embarrassed to be left-wing.

I think most of the younger people are very happy with this. This is what they want. I think it’s more of the old school democratics who are not happy. This takeover is unfortunately bringing in a lot of excitement for them much like Trump did for us. I think they’re quiet about it because they would have to admit to all of the things they ignore. Like Muslim terrorism, etc. But they see those things as a necessary evil for what they perceive to be oppression.

The line in the sand has been drawn and it’s not changing. The ones in between have to choose one side or the other or they will get nothing. That’s the situation we’re in.

They're not far from power. But just because they're in power doesn't mean they'll get to put their plans in place.

How does closing off the Persian Gulf and bombing oil-transporting vessels in the Red Sea maintain free markets? You have countries all over the world unable to get the supplies they need to maintain a stable economy, thanks to Trump's crazy right-wing war, from Australia having only 2-3 weeks supply of oil reserves, to farmers in Richland Parish, LA unable to obtain their supply of urea from the Middle East, to grow healthy crops of corn and soybeans.

Yikes. What in the world is "centrist" about a lunatic octogenarian warmonger lobbing bombs without any remorse halfway across the world, destroying any alliances we had formed with countries in the region and with European allies? That warmonger thinks he's some wrath-wreaking Odin or Zeus in opposition to anyone who's ever crossed him.
