i love that "gaggle" is a formal jargon term now

what it means is not the big official briefing in the famous briefing room, but a smaller informal group meeting between reporters and the press sec, usually in the press sec's office, or whatever small space might be available if on the road

I am a congenital optimist.

It`s ironic to the point of absolute stupidity that I have to post this message in the Republican Presidents thread just to be heard. And yet, that is the sad reality.

Because we are lost.

The left is a loving joke.

I`ve been called a racist, sexist xenophobe because I supported free speech of those I disagreed with. Is that our loving position?

I've seen facebook, twitter, google and reddit ban and silence the voices they disagree with. Is that how we win a loving debate?

I've been called a fascist for conceding that Trump told the truth. I've been called a conspiracy theorist for disagreeing with the demonstrably false fake news narrative.

I've been labeled and dismissed by the people who I honest to god thought we're on my own loving side for doing research and admitting that Trump's many supporters and spokespeople might just have a point on some of these issues. Is that our loving strategy for victory?

Let me get this straight...

Our position is SO loving WEAK that we SILENCE, SMEAR, BAN and CENSOR alternative voices to continue our narrative??

I say bullshit.

I believe in universal healthcare and a social safety net. I believe in regulation and socialism to the degree that they protect the environment and the disenfranchised.

But I don't see anything resembling a reasonable respectable debate on these ideas. I see a bunch of closed-minded assholes living in an echo-chamber of fake news and eating corporatism propaganda like it's bacon.

90% of the submissions I've ever made to this website have been removed by some dick mod for some stupid reason. In 10 loving years on this website all my support came from THIS DOMFORUM in the last six months.

Screech racism/sexism/xenophobia all you like but that won't change the fact that THIS is the philosophy of being inclusive. Out there in the fact-free fake news bubble is the cold isolation of victim badges and virtue signals.

Here in the conservative, libertarian, right-wing Trump tent it is warm and welcoming.

I say this to the left with love: Our message is currently a joke.

If we don't get our poo poo together and kick out the corporatists, the toxic violent anarchists, the holier-than-thou SJW's and most importantly admit WHY WE LOST than this political faction is dead.

And no offense, but I won't shed a tear.

Let's start by seeing if we can win a policy debate without using any of the following absolutely obvious bullshit narratives: Racist, Fascist, Russia.

If we can't, then I say I gently caress it. Let the party die. It serves no purpose for anyone besides the corrupt power elite.

so much for the tolerant left :munch:

Wisconsin doesn't seem to be doing as badly as Kansas, is it headed in a similar direction?

wisconsin had the advantage over kansas of a long progressive tradition that started our slide down the mississippi river of state rankings from much further over to the left but trust me yeah were apparently trying hard to make up for kansas headstart

now minnesotas not returning our calls anymore because our face broke out in a scorching case of gop thats going to leave lifelong scars and shes so dreamy we just want to hear the sound of her voice

heres some more good poo poo from 2011 when protesters were sleeping in the capitol after we all got kicked out and new security rules were put into place some bright bulb chained the doors of the capitol from the outside with a padlock to make sure no one could get in after hours

we got in anyway and the fire chief here had a loving aneurysm over the doors padlocked from the outside i mean how dumb can people actually be

turns out that if theyre elected republican representatives pretty goddamned stupid

also those protests were when everyone found out about the state capitols secret escape tunnel that came out on the other side of the inner loop in i couldnt make this up if i tried an actual banks underground parking structure

im scared that if you scratch the surface of our government deep enough well find that its not the us constitution underneath everything but just powerful people doing whatever they want to the rest of us with a thin coat of constitution paint to justify their actions

maybe, maybe not

if america as a whole turns on trump hard (beyond just dislike/distaste) then they'll be much more protective and supportive of their news organizations because they'll be seen as the only check on trump's power (because congress will do nothing)
