It should happen more often in both parties

being a member of congress was never meant to be a lifetime job

Wanting to kill babies isn’t the sign of lunacy?

such an interesting question. got any other questions?

 

[Lakhota]

Time to ax the Blue Dog Democrats.

The Dems are the Party of Lunatics.

And you are the party of the Rump.

 

[shockedcanadian]

The impeachment process told the Dem voters which way the party was being run behind the scenes. Pelosi, at the very least, created this push further left.

It's also why Bernie could survive against so many competitors and if they didn't leave the race he would have won.

Now Biden carries the torch for the "moderate" Democrats.

Biden is the equiv of the Ham Sandwich that it takes to defeat Rump.

I don't know what that means, but I don't see any Dem beating Trump in 2020. The China issue alone is enough to ensure his success. Now you have border concerns with this virus which only Trump addressed.

Are Americans really thinking that reverting back to China First and Open Borders is appealing at this moment? Maybe some of the Hollywood elite who don't read news outside their Bubbles, but average Americans know the differences between these governments.

Rump reacted too slowly. His speech was forced as if someone else was dictating it. he's now doing what needs to be done AFTER the fact. His lack of direction made it worse and now it's pretty damned bad. We are now on par with Italy. China is starting to wake back up and it started there. In the US, it went from needing only about 30 days of select isolation to an entire country in isolation. The US was unprepared for it and now it's gone pandemic and nation wide. So, let's do give Rump credit where credit is due.

No, it's neither.

 

[Snouter]

Soros probably financed both Lipinski and Newman. Neither democrat has any expertise or experience in anything of value to an American citizen.

Is this to say that American military action is lunacy?

 

[Snouter]

Even Neocon military action does not target the infant religious savages! Although it is an interesting ethical debate. The Bible for example indicates it was common practice in the Middle East for Yahweh, the main deity of the Old Testament, to request the slaughter of infants (even farm animals) of enemy tribes! Very savage!

You're probably reading more into this than is there.

I grew up in that district, and I actually went to Grammar School with Dan Lipinski's sister.

Here's why Dan lost. First, Covid-19 depressed the older vote.

But the bigger problem wasn't that Dan was too moderate, the problem was that he's kind of a nutty Catholic who thinks women shouldn't control their own bodies.

the other big problem he has is the map of the third district and how it's changed over the years. It used to be that most of it was in Chicago. This is how his Dad, a loyal Machine Alderman to the First Mayor Daley, got the job. (Bill is still the Ward Committeeman for the 23rd Ward)

Over the years, as the City became less and less White, they added more and more Suburban areas to the District, to the point where it's only a little tiny sliver of Chicago. In order to maintain 3 black districts and one Hispanic district, they've pretty much had to divide Chicago up between those four districts.

Now here in lies the problem. Most minorities vote Democratic because the Republican Party is as racist as shit. They actually skew more conservative than the Democratic Party in the main. This is why Biden is winning right now.

Most white people vote Republican, but those of us who DO vote Democratic tend to skew more liberal than the party in the main. It's why Bernie's supporters are overwhelmingly white.

So this is why Danny was in a weak position to start with. Add on his Crazy positions on abortion, plus the fact that the district was just HANDED to him. (His father won the primary in 2004 and then just handed him the nomination.)

That and the GOP has never really challenged Danny or his Dad for something like 40 years, Danny really never developed good campaigning chops. He just counted on the Machine to carry him over, again.

It didn't this time.

 

[Snouter]

Most non-Whites are racist, ignorant and stupid and vote for candidates that look closest to them. Simpleton Blacks for example are told by Black pastors, Muslim leaders, Whitey is the "devil," not to mention what is taught at Jewish facilities. This is why all religious services should be recorded and reviewed for all the "Bible" based cults. Anyhoo, imagine Crazy Bernie running for office in an African country.

Crazy Bernie supporters are overwhelming self-hating, racist, stupid, ignorant douchebags.

 

[JoeB131]

Time to ax the Blue Dog Democrats.

I'm not sure that's a good idea, either. Lots of working class whites who should vote Democratic who don't because the DNC is so far off on social issues.

Some Democrats are pro life. The crack hos who get extra government money for having extra kids keep popping them out. Of course the kid never benefits from that money because momma spends it all on her habit.
