Well democratic votvers are not republican voters. YOu see Iknow you'd like to be a republican, but you can't treat democratic voters like poo poo then expect votes.

Perhaps you should be a Republican. That way you can read all of Breitbart, not just the parts about Hillary, Obama and the dem leadership that is totally trustworthy and you feel the need to keep spreading.

Until then, shut the gently caress up you nazi propaganda spewing little poo poo.

Average right-wing people don't care about foreign policy. Calling the left wing "soft on Russia" is just a useful bludgeon to attack politicians they already don't like.

And when have you ever not quoted Breitbart about how the primary was rigged, Hillary is corrupt and evil, Dem leadership doesn't care about working people and hates their base?

So wait Hillary wasn't being corrupt by allowing poor Haitians to suffer by preventing them from getting minimum wage? Is wanting Haitians to get a minimum wage make someone a Nazi? Also why did what Ellison once did along time ago mean you hated him? That frankly is racist.

The idea that not all politicians or parties have as much contempt for their own voters as elite liberals do for theirs, or that maybe such contempt is a bad strategy in purely electoral terms, is utterly alien to some people

I mean, Republicans definitely do have contempt for every Republican voter making under $250,000 a year, that's obvious. But they're* smart enough to tell them what they want to hear and promise to do whatever they want instead of just calling their voters stupid babies.

"Gay marriage is impossible you babies, how about a separate institution that's totally equal just you know special and set apart and segregated just for you."
"LGB and T workplace protections? Nah."
"The same UHC system that a dozen countries operate successfully, that's pie-in-the-sky nonsense, we'll give you the Republican plan because Republicans know better than you."

Yes, it was quite bad that the totally for real order on 100% open service by gay soldiers was overturned for DADT. All those gay soldiers who had 100% protection from getting discharged just for being gay sure was a thing.

Or are you saying it's bad that lgbt people were allowed to serve at all, and we should have not made any progress?

But "the truth" about gay people is "gay people are the same as everyone else and deserve the same treatment and the same rights and privileges as anyone else".

So liberal Democrats didn't tell the truth. They told lies about how marriage is a special institution for straight people only instead of standing up for the truth.

You know, you can keep pretending Republicans don't exist, but that doesn't mean were going to forget about them.

You keep confusing "this is the best that we can give you right now" with "this is exactly what we always intended to give you and we don't think you deserve any better". You aren't acknowledging any of the things that exist that form any form of blockade against these ideas, just acting as if Dems can magically wave a wand and enact anything they want instantly, and the only reason they don't is cause they're big meanies who hate you.

It's almost as bad as the way icantfindaname is a disingenuous piece of poo poo who refuses to acknowledge anything of the reality about the protections for gay soldiers before DADT (I. E. loving none of any description whatsoever) and pretends that the military was a nonstop pride parade beforehand.
