Millionaire Donor Threatens Democratic Party: “If They Go Far Left, I’m Out”

[ttystikk]

oh, i thought it was all due to elitist corporate democrats taking donations, not gerrymandering.

i'll give you some time to get your story straight.

This is another example of your hate filled bloviating.

'All of the above' fits the facts but you're far too invested in your team to admit they might be imperfect in any way. That kind of juvenile silliness just makes you look bad, not intelligent.

You give no fucks who loses as long as you get your way. It's people like you who are currently tearing out country apart, when rapprochement is so badly needed to make the lives of millions of poor people- in America, FFS!- even a little bit better.

Next time you visit your oh so exclusive country club for yet another round of golf, you should think about that... not that you ever would, of course.

Why didn't you vote for the Chump? You sure act like him.

 

[ttystikk]

if democrats just stop accepting large donations then the people who vote based on their hatred of muslims and gays will vote democrat

This is either word salad or you've gone right 'round the bend.

 

[ttystikk]

That's not formal. Reread, maybe?

Why don't you explain all the Bernie epithets you throw around?

 

[ttystikk]

Democrats turned to corporate cash with Bill Clinton, after being dominated by Republicans in presidential elections since 1980. The Clinton administration got rid of the banking regulations enacted after the Great Depression that ensured a more stable economy for the 60+ years until the crash in 08 by signing the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act in 1999.

Many establishment Democrats acknowledge the way campaigns are funded is bad, but they have to utilize corporate donors in order to be competitive against Republicans, which is a false premise. I've heard Barney Frank, who was the cosponsor on the 'Dodd-Frank' banking regulation enacted after the crash in 2008, that didn't actually solve the problem.. support money in politics for this reason.

I think that if you highlight the fact that one entire political party is taking 100% of the funding from giant multinational corporations and billionaires seeking to influence political policy and the other one is only accepting money from individual American donors, it would be an absolute bloodbath at the polls in favor of Democrats. No race would even be close. I'm sure most Americans would agree..

So why don't they do it?

Because they have their hands in the till, of course.

Ok, I don't mean to be a dick but here it goes...

I've a job that pays nearly $100k a year in which I primarily work from home at my own hours.

I've a wife and kids and a 5 bedroom house that I own outright...in my 30's.

If I'm so brainless, then how come I'm successful and you're here moaning about getting a better minimum wage and can't even get a second date with a woman even after paying for expensive shit on the first?

Post some YouTube videos and melt down, your tears will sustain me

For all that you seem to spend a suspiciously large amount of your time here.

My advice to you is to back away and spend time with your family while you still have the chance.

Next time you visit your oh so exclusive country club for yet another round of golf

you mean my $19 round of twilight golf at riverdale with my golf clubs that haven't been re-gripped since i was in college?

 

[UncleBuck]

i don't even splurge for a cart and bring $0.50 beers from home. i fish all of my golf balls out of the long rough on the first few holes.

but elitist.

No, the times you've bragged about golf at a multi-million dollar country club.

Thou doth protest too much.

I spend plenty of time with them, hence why I'm here in the early hours of the morning, retard.

Still single?

I bet you've really hairy palms, the hairiest palms in the world. Tremendously hairy, believe me.

Your words, actions and avowed priorities seem to have trouble matching up.

 

[ginjawarrior]

Yes, I am pushing my own agenda.

Maybe you should stop jumping to conclusions and start thinking about what people say.

Is it okay to teach a right wing, oil corporation sponsored curriculum, just because Republicans run the State and don't want to bother paying for a decent education for their resident's children?

And don't think Exxon is being totally selfless; not only is every dime of that 'alternative education' tax deductible, but the deducted cost (you know; to us, the actual taxpayers) is higher than if the school system was doing the job they're there for.

Sooooo what's your point? Maybe you don't like Republicans being called out?

Get used to it, snowflake.

wow didnt take you long to disregard your own advice, buttercup...

i personally find the republican/ conservative attitude to education, science and facts in general to be abhorrent

i also feel that the best way to combat the creep from republicans is to have a united democratic party.

im guessing now though that you grew up in a deep red state?

Plenty of people will tell you that Republicans are 'bad'- what they don't tell you is that the Democratic Party is just as complicit in the current state of our country and that the Progressive Movement is not only a viable alternative but that voters are flicking to its cause in rapidly growing numbers.

funnily enough i've been told quite a few times that the progressive movement is viable alternative...

unfortunatley though the people telling me this are ferverent ideologue's like your self, pada, and that crazy cat lady that keeps stinking up the place here

and your way of trying to convince us is to show really bad quality alt fact websites. im just waiting for you guys to start screaming "911 was an inside job"!!!!

so yeah how ever compelling the policies you want are, I have no interest at all of joining this "progressive CULT"

What?

Dude, how are you going to deny the fact that I've cited respected sources members of your own exclusive club have cited yourselves to support your own points against conservatives, like Public Policy Institute, Pew Research, Real Clear Politics, 538, Gallup, etc...

You simply disagree with the objective findings, so you label it as "alt fact"

this thread is a case in point....

you posted a youtube opinion piece by some nobody that distorts what was actually said in the interview...

you then carried on pushing the false narative put forward even though it was pointed out it was false

Did you hear how he would stop donating to the Democratic party if they move any farther left on economic issues?

you then ignored my request to show where he said that

no i heard how he would stop donating to the party if the kept demonising people because they were rich

perhaps we heard something different.. got a timestamp??

just because you have posted links to "
Public Policy Institute, Pew Research, Real Clear Politics, 538, Gallup, etc..."

doesnt mean that your capable of treating the information honestly and not disengenously sticking your pet ideology opinion where it doesnt belong

Explain how Doel distorted what was actually said in the clip

Yeah, forgive me for ignoring this bullshit. If you want a real reply, don't act like a dumbass.

I've cited polls with exact headlines verbatim to which the club has dismissed as "alt-facts". You guys simply disagree with anything that disproves the things you believe, regardless of where it might come from, even if it's a well respected, legitimate source that you yourselves have cited before.

so no time stamp on the interview?

this is actually really pathetic now pada

i have already stated what i think was said in the interview mulitple times now.

be intellectually honest enough to go back watch the interveiw and find a timestamp where the "millionaire" talks about economic polices rather than the demonising of the rich just for being rich

or just admit that your a ferverent ideologue member of the bernie cult

Cool. Keep voting for candidates out up by the donors of a party that doesn't give one single fuck about anything you might want or need from your government.

In short, you're defending the insanity of doing the same thing and expecting different results.

Colorado is a swing state and tends to be substantially more politically active than the national average.

But confirmation bias makes them feel all smug n cozy.
