"...creating a vision of the sort of society you want to have in miniature"
Gotta give him credit for not toppling Saddam when the rest of his party wanted to. Might have been one of the things that ended up costing him the presidency.

Also for being willing to raise taxes, which is another thing that cost him the presidency. (Though he never should have made that stupid pledge)

quote:

Voting HOPING they do something and getting disappointed when they side with the dems and gently caress us over again
-
Anyone who stands up is taken out. Maybe if we win the presidency things will change right? No. Ok lets give them the Senate! No. Let's give them the House! No nothing changed...things are worse? How the gently caress has it come to the only way we have to stand up for our selves is a group of guys called the proud boys? Then they are arrested for defending themselves, while going out and standing up for us. Slowly but surly they are stripping the will to fight back away from us all and no matter how much power the conservatives have nothing happens. You fuckers understand we control the entire government? This was probably the last time that we would control all three because of the flood of migrants across the boarder. I live in a small town that went from 10% Hispanic to 70% in ten freaking years! It went from all white city counsel to majority Hispanic city council and the first thing they did was start building soccer fields...they seriously built 30 soccer fields in two years! Then my small town of 100K built a bus system that cost us millions to operate? We had to borrow money to pay for it and run it. They don't charge to ride it. My town has been total wrecked and I live in TEXAS! Oh P.s. They changed the city law to allow lovely mobile homes in the town and now their everywhere.
-
We lost almost 30 house seats from California alone!
Why has no one challenged this in court!? Judges are slapping down the President's Executive Orders left and right, they surely have the power to do that to a Governor.
-
Too little too late. Wont matter in January. The GOP and Trump dropped the ball hard this adminstration and could have made big revelations but instead allowed Dems to walk all over them. And with WI, PA, and MI trending solid blue, FL felons voting and AZ lost forever we have zero chance of winning reelection 2020 even with miracles.
-
Our loving gop house and Senate has done so little in 2 years. What a bunch of disappointments.
-
When the Democrats had Congress and the White House, they passed Obamacare. What did the Republicans do?
-
Get on it.
I am pissed off how SLOW we move. Ive seen blind fat old dogs that are more aggressive. Its a game and we are the pawns.
-
I loving hate losing the house. God drat vote farming bastards.
-
I’ve lost hope. The Clintons will be protected no matter the cost. They raided the flipping whistleblowers home, for god sake. I realize now Jeff Sessions is a mf traitor for being a part of this coverup. They can all go to hell.
-
I feel like I'm Bill Murray in Ground Hot Day. I'm seeing the same stories over and over again. Then I go to sleep expecting something to finally change the next day, only to live the day again, and again, and again, and again.
-
We simply can't win over minority voters faster than they can import straight-to-welfare-for-votes voters. Look at voting maps of Texas, they're BRIGHT blue on the border with Mexico. They have a ton of people in FL that came up from the hurricanes that will be perma-blue as well. It's only a matter of time, we've lost the long game (in large part because some many Republicans for so many years at that level are uniparty RINOs).

Once EITHER of those states flips from to being reliably blue, say goodbye to winning another federal election. After they win another trifecta (white house, senate, house of reps), they can slam through another amnesty and flip both of those states blue permanently. Flip enough blue and the National Popular Vote Interstate Compactcan kick in, ensuring they never lose again because they can just stuff ballot boxes in non-voter-ID places like CA / Chicago / etc.

Once that happens, all we'll be able to do is wait out the Greece / Venezuela-like collapse and rebuild. All of their new straight-to-welfare voters will want their payoffs and that money has to come from somewhere. Make sure you have enough offshore investments for the collapse of the US dollar (like the Venezuelan Bolivar is doing right now). There will be no coming back before that.
-
Look what just happened with the midterms. A whole bunch of memes and a whole lot of bitching. No end gain. We got played like chumps and still show up for another round. We seriously need to get more active and stop LARPing on Reddit. It really isn't helping any more
-
no amount of activism is going to save us. The Democrats played the long game with immigration since 1965 and the political will to reverse the mass replacement they started doesn't exist. America as we knew it is gone forever. Trump delayed the collapse but it's still inevitable. Maybe we can make something new from the pieces.

GHWB was shot down in WW2 in the Pacific, near an island called Chichi Jima. Japanese were actually getting a boat out to him but a submarine was able to rescue him first. Chichi Jima was an island where the Japanese officers would eat the livers of shot down airmen for strength.

What I’m saying is now those Japanese soldiers once again have a chance.
