"Do as I say, not as I do" is kinda like the Republican mantra
Guilty by association. I'm an okie, so I've seen this for years. It's like the Masshole. NOT Everyone, but way too damn many. Just have to keep on being the ideological counterweight when you can.texan really? smh
The problem with what “you’re saying” is the implication that there is “the left” currently operating. Provide one example of a left political issue being implemented in the USA.The worst part is the representative part of our republic is out of balance. There needs to be more senate votes for states with larger populations. Gerrymandered districts need to be eliminated at lower levels.
The problem with "the right" is they are too dumb and mean to want anything good. They will stick together.
The problem with "the left" is letting the perfect be the enemy the good.

You are the person I was referring to apparently. We have a left and an even more left. The left has support and can win some elections. The more left is pie in the sky and too idealistic. Which is admirable, just impractical. The more left doesn't have enough support for its ideas to win elections. It is called impotence. We have Biden as pres. That is the left. The more left has a few mayors and maybe a state rep or three. No senate votes even. Wait....bernie? A shill. Same as trump, but working the other side for his grifting. Now if the more left can gather support, then maybe the left could feel easier about voting more left. Until it gets to that point, however, a vote outside the Dem party is a vote that helps the right win. A la Herr trumpf winning bc of votes being split on the left. The right sticks together. Idiot-illogical cement.The problem with what “you’re saying” is the implication that there is “the left” currently operating.

No. There is no “even more left”. It is a fever dream of Repugs. You are describing center politics. Our entire political stage has been dragged two full clicks to the right over the past 50 years.You are the person I was referring to apparently. We have a left and an even more left.

I am from OK. Here, I am a flaming liberal. In other places I am a moderate. In other circles, I am quite conservative. Life is funny.
Examples of left politics today? Biden is in office. The Jl voting act, freedom to vote act. We aren't declaring open hunting season on black and Hispanic people. Vaccine mandates. There would be more with a more accurate representation of the left voting power. The right has fewer voting people, but the same amount of federal votes. It is lopsided representation.
he's also wanted by the Jan 6 commission tooTexas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), who used his office to fight Covid mandates, has tested positive for Covid-19.
it's already here...all eyes are watching ercot right nowI hear Texas might get another deep freeze, don't worry tho I'm sure the GOP has fixed everything so you won't be in another energy black out.
247 died as a result of freeze.........Did you ever get a real death toll on the last freeze, I heard the GOP were covering it up.
only 10, that's still horrible but Michigan is more prepared for things like that. Texas's wasn't....the really screwed up part was Ercot and the Govonor knew bout this was gonna happen weeks before it hit, and they did nothing to prepare for it...everyone basically just sat on they're hands and waiting it out.......even fuck nut Cruz left the state....that prick...We only had 10 deaths from the last polar vortex here in Michigan.
That's probably because only poor people and minorities died, they don't matter to the GOP.only 10, that's still horrible but Michigan is more prepared for things like that.

There is, they just don't have many votes. Many have been arrested of a felony and are being punished for far too long relative to crime with being unable to vote, others are jaded/burnt out/non believers and unwilling to vote.No. There is no “even more left”. It is a fever dream of Repugs. You are describing center politics. Our entire political stage has been dragged two full clicks to the right over the past 50 years.
It impresses me that here, social democrats are being called socialists or, even less hilariously, Communists.There is, they just don't have many votes. Many have been arrested of a felony and are being punished for far too long relative to crime with being unable to vote, others are jaded/burnt out/non believers and unwilling to vote.
Center is relative. This is a dynamic process.
I agree with you on the latter. Nothing happens in a vacuum. I think it has been reactionary. We are not in as much control of our minds and behaviors as we like to believe. I question free will at all. Maybe we feel like we do without a choice.
The politics of us monkeys is really fun to watch. Here we are, there we go. No one else gives a shit about what we thought. Probably thought we were idiots. And with enough time, question our very ability to have cognitive thought. Time conquers all. We are chewed up and our bones ground to dust.
We all suck in our own way. I don't think we have to worry about it for too much longer anyway.
Love you. Hope we all have a good one while we still can.
true, i don't know the break down of exactly who as far as minorities and suchThat's probably because only poor people and minorities died, they don't matter to the GOP.
Sorry, but those aren’t “left”, political or otherwise.Examples of left politics today? Biden is in office. The Jl voting act, freedom to vote act. We aren't declaring open hunting season on black and Hispanic people. Vaccine mandates. There would be more with a more accurate representation of the left voting power.

It’s good for the soul.Buck is taking a self induced time out. He's fine.
