Members DRW50 Posted January 28, 2020 Members Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) Jerry Falwell Jr is throwing a fit and threatening to move Liberty to West Virginia. Apparently Ralph Northam wants to cut the funding for online education, which means trash like Liberty is going to be losing a lot of cash. Good.

Members Khan Posted January 28, 2020 Members Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) I, for one, am not entirely sold on the concept of "online education." I'm sure it presents a ton of benefits to those who participate, but to me, it still feels largely like a scam and a cash-grab. Is Buttigieg gaining ground with voters of color? Is that why the NYT has published this article? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/28/us/politics/buttigieg-campaign-black-hispanic-staff.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage Edited January 28, 2020 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 28, 2020 Members Share Posted January 28, 2020 A bunch of Berners decided to push their way into a Biden campaign office in Iowa and harass his volunteers. These folks have gone completely off the rails. This is not the behavior of people who think their campaign is winning. It's the behavior of nihilists who think they have nothing left to lose. I'm just waiting for the inevitable moment when they try this stunt somewhere else and get their asses beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 29, 2020 Members Share Posted January 29, 2020 I shouldn't have laughed at that footage, but I did. That [!@#$%^&*] was OTT even for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted January 29, 2020 Members Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) ^ Good lord. It truly is like a strange cult. They need everyone to be true believers or they try to punish them. Yeah, let's put these people in charge. Please register in order to view this content [!@#$%^&*]'em. Did you point out that you are nearly 30 years younger than Bernie? A Bernie supporter who bring up age in an argument. What a dimwit.

Members Khan Posted January 29, 2020 Members Share Posted January 29, 2020 The sad thing is, if Senate Republicans (and Berners) get their way, and Joe and/or Hunter Biden end up testifying at the impeachment trial, then Bernie is a near-lock for the nomination. Because, even though all the Biden-related conspiracy theories have been debunked many times over, there's no way that family would be able to emerge unscathed by their testimonies. In 2016, people talked about holding their noses and voting for Hillary Clinton. Lord knows what we'll have to hold to vote for Bernie Sanders.

Members marceline Posted January 30, 2020 Members Share Posted January 30, 2020 Oh hon, I disagree completely. I honestly think that the Biden's testifying would be terrible for Republicans. Joe Biden is very well liked among every constituency Dems need to win in 2020: black people, suburban women, moderates, newborn independents driven from the GOP, blue collar voters, and midwestern voters. Video of Biden being attacked and his last surviving child being attacked doesn't win them any votes. And few of those people would move from Biden to Sanders. Warren and Pete perhaps but not Sanders. Sanders hit his ceiling in 2016 and right now he is HATED by a portion of the Dem base. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 30, 2020 Members Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think this is why Sanders' campaign is now directly pivoting toward Joe Rogan and his voters - dumb, bigoted white men. The idea seems to be they are some kind of silent majority and that any Democrat who is hesitant about being in a bloc with them needs to just shut up or they will be seen as a hypocrite and not wanting to actually win. It's a twofer - either Bernie and his cult win and then do whatever they want without any repercussions from the party, or they lose and say the system was against them and everyone gets what they deserves with Trump. I think they really do want to lose and know they would be much better off financially and in popularity if he does. It's probably only his huge ego that is keeping him in. He truly is Trump. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted January 30, 2020 Members Share Posted January 30, 2020 So many of Sanders' supporters are not and have never been Democrats. They are fringe people with ideologies that are nonsensical and who vote for anyone who promises massive changes or revolution. Plenty of Ron Paul supporters are now supporting Sanders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 30, 2020 Members Share Posted January 30, 2020 The irony is that Joe Rogan fans aren't Dem primary voters. The Rogan endorsement gets Bernie nothing in the primary. In fact it drives away voters he needs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 30, 2020 Members Share Posted January 30, 2020 That's why his cultists are amping up the shaming sessions - the main one I keep seeing is you care more about supporting war criminals than about what's right if you criticize the touting of this endorsement. It's all about shaming and subjugation. Never mind that St. Bernie supported wars too, and is happy to enable dictators. This is a pretty decent article from a trans perspective. https://www.advocate.com/commentary/2020/1/29/take-it-trans-woman-sanderss-embrace-rogan-terrible Meanwhile, some of his brain dead brigades are trying to primary Nancy Pelosi. Good luck with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted January 31, 2020 Members Share Posted January 31, 2020 It really peeves me how homophobes always believe the LGBTQ community is out to convert young men and women into "God-hating fags," as it were. "Ruin Christianity"? Please. Homophobic people are doing just that, every damn day, whenever they preach The Gospel According to Trump. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
