So why did the left change their minds

[TNHarley]

I've never seen the Democratic Party as left. There have been some left-leaning candidates like Kucinich or Saunders but most have had more central political leanings. When it comes to foreign policy, every Democratic leader has been conservative.

Apparently the OP doesn't want that level of complexity. And yet he wants to imagine what "the left" is. From what I gather "the left" had a convention somewhere. Even nominated somebody.
Doublethink lives.

hypothetically speaking, lets say I met your spec. could you comment on the OP?

I did. In every post.
Maybe go back and start again. Picture a map of the US. Got it?
Now find Tennessee. That's the DP.
Now find North Carolina. That's the RP.
Look where "the left" is.

So you wanna buy my Pacific view condo in Tennessee or what?

Ah, the moment of revelation.

So ---- where did "the left" hold this convention anyway? Martha's Vineyard? Calais Maine? Key East Florida?

Or did they dare to go wild and trundle all the way to Pittsburgh? Fuggin' extremists.

No, the left talks shit about those qualities when those are the only qualities a political party fights for.

dude, are you fuckin retarded?

The Democratic party is more diverse. Wants a higher minimum wage, raise taxes on the very wealthy, provide a strong social safety net and invest in our infrastructure there by creating jobs for those other than the super rich.

You're questions was retarded and you're doing what the right always claims the left is doing and playing identity politics.

Hillary Clinton is a goddamn corporatist, you fuckin retard.
diverse = old white socialist and old white rich corrupt neocon

Diverse = we accept all ages and races.

And histories of criminal involvement

Like Richard NIxon and Denny Hastert?

"creating jobs for those other than the super rich"

Yes. Easily one of the dumbest posts I've ever read!

so do you have an actual comment to the OP or are you just going to continue hacking it up?

Yo're implying that because Democrats chose Hillary Clinton and we are the old white party. Or that somewhere Democrats have stated they would never elect a senior citizen. That's a strawman fallacy if I ever saw one.

what a racist comment. Why do you liberals racists assume that all minorities agree with your liberal agenda? They don't. Oh I realize you think blacks are inferior and therefor can't think for themselves, but they can and many of them no longer fall for the liberal bullshit.

Same with women, they are smart enough to see through the "you should vote Dem b/c we're running a woman for God's sakes. "

See, you liberals think women are stupid and will just blindly vote for Hillary for no other reason than she is a woman , nevermind the actual qualities she possesses which would help her do the job (which she doesn't have) there is a special place in hell for all women who don't vote for Hillary, just like any person who didn't vote for Obama was a racist, according to you idiots.

Never said all minorities agree with liberals. I merely said the Democratic party is more diverse than the Republican party. And that is a fact. Your post is right wing jibberish whining.

 

[dannyboys]

and decide and old, white, rich, corrupt, neocon is their best choice? I thought those were all marks of evil and bush?

The 'left' didn't. The center and right of the Democratic party is where Hillary's support comes from.

It sure as fuck isn't coming from millennials or young women.

 

[HappyJoy]

And the GOP, the party stereotyped as the party of old, rich white men, has chosen the oldest, richest white man in the history of American politics to be their nominee

See, I get what you are saying, but my POINT is that the left actually talks shit about those qualities.
So, what about the OP?

The Left has had 16 of the last 24 years to get those things done. They've done nothing but further enrich themselves (the political leaders) except use those same tired old talking points that STILL fool you into voting for them.

16 years Democrats have had the White house and congress? Kind of bullshitty, don't ya' think?

no. I am wondering why democrats that talk shit about old, rich, white, corrupt neocons have voted for her, and now she is the presumptive nominee.

New poll:
How many forum members here believe if Bill had been a REP and won in Arkansas then went on to become the REP President that today Hillary would be running as a REP?
FUCKING GOLD STAR!!!!!!!!

No doubt. She grew up a Republican. Not that it makes a hell of a lot of difference, but I already made that point.

Because after 8 years of a black GWB, they decided "oh what the hell, why not?"

The thread premise is the mark of stupidity.

The mark of stupidity is any post by C_Clayton_Jones.

Everyone knows that.

While you Bolsheviks have chosen the oldest, richest, most corrupt. white woman in the history of American politics to be their nominee

This while spewing an unending torrent or racist hatred at white people.

 

[dannyboys]

The point is Hillary would be running for President if she was nominated as the National White Supremacist Party if she thought she had a chance to become President.
She has literally no morals.

 

[OldLady]

TWO TIMES IN A ROW the left has nominated a neocon to take their political party to the WH. The first time, they didn't know... Obama was so full of shit.. But now, they do KNOW but they don't fuckin care.

I don't know what a neocon is, in your world.

what is a neocon in your world?

C'mon, TN. Neo means new, con means conservative? What's a new conservative? That means nothing to me.
