When I popped my head in there during the peak of the primaries it didn't seem that bad. There was some :tinfoil: over Bill stopping people from voting or something, but that was the worst of it. Maybe it got worse after that?


Mitt Romney?



I should rephrase, they mostly made it really easy to find some questionable poo poo if you went looking. They were such a contrast to the rest of the thing that they were easy to pick out. I think it got worse after the primary itself when Hillary became the person to focus on and setting Sanders folks against her became more of a goal.

And he might have been. Boy did that dude just disappear.

lmao he quoted himself on an inspirational quote thing

what a piece of poo poo

like i said earlier. thats all the centrists have now, inspirational quotes and hoping the IDpolitics wagon starts up again.

The primary had people on edge. Establishment Democrats were threatened by Bernie winning as he would be too radical for the American public and thus lose to the Republican Nominee. The Left Wing Goldwater so to speak. it was THE argument they always used.


To be fair to them. I had the same believes, I liked bernie alot but i was worried because i had talked to various people(mostly moderate GOP or independents) saying they would vote for anyone else if Bernie won because they were afraid of socialism and all that. i still voted for him in the primary though.

Houston, we're Havana problem.
Corey Booker is the subject of one of the best political documentaries of this century and it went to his head and he definitely wants to be Obama II but he isn't as smart as Obama nor as charismatic and he has baggage.

I would like to see him bend the knee to the progressive cause and do good in the Senate but his star should remain exactly where it is.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
Booker comes off to me as the male DWS for some reason. At least policy wise. Tries to come off as firmly on the left but is actually a centrist beholding to banks and corps.

A lot of them just simply disappeared. Sites like Something Awful and the like were known for being hard left in discourse for some time. Then out of no where centrist and establishment Dems began invading during the primaries shouting down everyone who disagreed with them. Then after their ideology and strategy went up in flames they disappeared back to the jungles in the internet where they came.

As Trump and Sanders show, the reality is that growth in populist candidates within a party is usually correlated to a populist feeling in the country. It's best to let things just play their natural coarse.

the way he engaged with people was really strange. he'd only come in to link something negative about sanders, or quote someone and state a talking point, and then never respond again.

also the date thing i pointed out lol

he was the only person i actually suspected of astroturfing tho.
