Democratic Nominee in 2020

Quote: Gandler

The first point is pure speculation which is disputed by "her boss".

As for VP pick, maybe her main qualification was being one of the top Democrats candidates for many months? She also shares a lot of views with Biden compared to most of the other candidates… She is a pretty moderate Democrat, very similar to Biden.... She will be a fine VP just as Biden was....

You are aware she was so weak a candidate she dropped out before the first vote was taken are you not?

She attacked Biden many times.

She is radical left, not moderate.

She got the nod based on skin color. Biden admitted he was only looking at women with the right skin tone.

Half the time I pointed out Sex scandals on the right because their own standards used to hypocritically support “family values.” Which they seem to have forgotten about with Trump. It’s not inconsistent to point out when people violate their own supposed standards. I don’t care if a republican male is banging other men, just when he’s had a Public anti-gay stance. Wide stance indeed.

By this are you talking about how feminists ignore harassment by men as long as they love abortion?

Has this literally ever been a thing?

It is always a thing. Made most famous with Bill Clinton.

So we have just got down to the usual answer "but Trump". I had hoped you would actually address the issue.

Nah, he's pretty young and just wants to score some points instead of debating the actual issue. (I assume it's because he knows he would lose bad?)

Honest question: has Shrek ever attempted to actually “debate an issue” on this board?

Seems like he waits for another rightie to say something and then just responds with a gif or a +100.

No no no. Their minds immediately snap
to a comparison of Trump to EVERYTHING.
It's the easiest argument in a debate and
one that's frowned on in a real debate. You
can't turn every argument back on your
opponent.

1st Debater: Your candidate holds position A. What is his reason for this.

2nd Debater: Well, YOUR candidate held that position in college 40 years ago, what were HIS reasons.

It's a cheap ineffective trick, takes
no thought and tells the audience
nothing about your candidates
position. It's a child's defense.

Johnny, why did you eat the cookies?
His defense: Sally eats them too!!

Haven't you read the book? The policies of the far left are no less likely to get us to Brave New World than those of the far right.

Basically, it's just about systematic and absolute control of the populace...which both sides (far fringes) support, just in different ways.

One of the main concepts of the book is the re-writing of history by the 'Ministry of Truth'. That has been in full force and driven by the left for years. First under the guise of political correctness now it is totally in the open with removing statues, flags, control of media, rewriting books and eliminating from the history books actual events.

Freedoms of all kinds are under attack now and not by the right. The far left is almost indistinguishable from Fascists now.

I think the American MSM have done a much better job at sowing sowing division with four years of publishing extreme Trump hatred.

I'm gonna have to reread 1984 this weekend. 👍👍

And while I'm at it, I think I'll reread Brave New World as well. 👏👏
