You see more cohesiveness on the left than you do the right imo.


i agreed fully until 2016

TDS and the Bernie angle have created a real home for the extreme/alt-Left

but even earlier on, you had the Ryan v. Pelosi battle for the progressive v. moderate DEM philosphy

when they ran a professed moderate last year in that GA election and pumped in like $30M for a loss, the cry the following day was "you see? we can't run moderates!"

just look at all the media publicity for Cortez and the DSA (Along with their growing membership rolls)

but they are growing and the media is aiding heavily in that growth

i doubt they sustain this growth, but they're forcing the non-DSA DEMS to go WAY to the left (esp on the coasts)

Not according to BamaAtl.

And the same could be said of Ross Perot if we want to open this Pandora’s box.

just says nope, you're wrong, and exits the thread with no rebuttal, no links, no facts, no nothing.

he/she wants so badly to retort but hasn't gotten the approved talking points yet. it'll hit CNN, then permeate to the forums, and by the end of the day, they'll all be replying in unison until the next outrage breaks.

Studies have shown its best not to reply to BamaAtl, she becomes dumber with each subsequent post. You're wasting your time replying.



Right. SlowFlowPro takes all that time and thought for a very reasonable and correct post, and Bamaalt just says "That ain't right, and you stupid." Then another page of thought by SlowFlowPro. It is like arguing wit a drunk schizophrenic. There needs to be a common reply for such trolling. "Too stupid for reply, or TSFR."

Your in depth answer is indeed a reflection of your in depth knowledge.

Sorry I used so many words to call you ignorant.

so the far left isn't mad at the Green party after last night?

the Green party hasn't been an established far-Left party for decades?

Ralph Nader didn't run for President as a Green Party candidate in 2000?

the DSA is not riding the Sanders/Cortez fame to become relevant for once?

Cortez isn't the face of the socialist wing of the left currently?

those promoting the DSA aren't running as Democrats?

the DSA-endorsed candidates didn't come away empty-handed last night?

the DEM candidate in OH12 wasn't a moderate?

Russia didn't buy a bunch of pro-leftist ads on FB during the 2016 election?


frick.

You could’ve posted HALF of that and it would’ve been a mushroom-stamping for the ages.

That was an absolutely BRUTAL takedown.

the funniest/saddest part is i'm 100% confident that Bama is still following this thread and laughing at us for being a circle jerk/echo chamber who is stupid...and if she admits she's wrong, then she's just "trolling"

Straight troll on his part. He must not have gotten the memo, don't argue facts with a lawyer who has the facts on his side.

Argue nuance, subtext, context, policy, 2nd/3rd order effects, but for frick's sake, don't deny irrefutable facts. Conceding them at the beginning of an argument makes you at least appear reasonable and unbiased.
