Somehow your view of leftists is wrong.

A) Maybe you talk about the most left of the left, maybe 5% of the population. Yes, those might be those gender study idiots.

B) If you consider anybody left of center, maybe about 50% of the population, you should be able to find out that they don't have much to do with what you describe above.

 

Maybe you noticed that some of the left, especially the once with the big mouth, claim that anybody in the right is a nazi and a racist and all that.

Are you a nazi and a racist? I guess not. Are you right of the center? I guess yes. 

 

There is not just radical left and radical right. 

 

 

 

Tell that to the far left then.

Well, you're essentially saying that it's a European standard that defines the term, which is obviously flawed.  "Why argue" the second point?  I'll argue your second point because it's equally, obviously flawed and comes from contempt for America.  Fair enough, plenty of Americans have similar contempt for Europe.

Despite it being where millions of them came from. Where they get their political theory from. Their religion. Their language. No, I'm saying that the term "lefty" is nursery level; "leftist" is just a vague insult unrelated to anything remotely political; and the concept of left wing doesn't really exist in reality in the US. But if you insist on your own Americanised definitions, go ahead, enlighten us. But without using the word "woke", as this is not a political doctrine, just a way of gaslighting your opponent. Nor "liberal", "snowdrop", "libtard", "mangina" etc etc. the vocabulary of the rightist factions.

You are right - technically. But all the reports I have followed and the speeches I have heard from her and Trump - there is every likelihood that Kamala with be the official nominee 100% at their Convention.

 

I admit, they are "salivating" but there is a difference between a nice juicy steak and a bowl of noodles so the choice is easy to make and support!

 

Kamala's taking a ride in a trial balloon before the DNC convention.  If she polls well, she'll get the nomination.  If she polls badly, they'll jerk her out and claim that the voters have spoken.  But make no mistake, the Dem elite don't care what the voters want and the country needs.  They just want to stay in power.

The WMD BS was more than 20 years ago.  Not sure how it's relevant now.  And one striking point about the New Right/Trump Party is how much they hate Republicans of previous days and Gulf War 2.  Part of their platform (we'll see how they do when Trump is re-elected) is no more wars like that, which dovetails neatly for their support of Russia, in cutting off aid to Ukraine.

 know it was 20 years ago. Tell it to the poster who mentioned it. I also know about the new MAGA orientation (well, so far).

I was just highlighting the irony of old Republican voters criticizing the WDM B.S. and blaming the liberal media for it,  as they massively supported the WDM BS at that time.

Yeah, why am I not surprised that you are not familiar with the concept of facts.

But maybe that makes life easier for you. Wear a MAGA hat, prey, shout hurray and all will be fine in your mind. 😉

So he exaggerated the size about the size of his penthouse.

Oh dear, such a difficult decision.

The Trumpers were saying Biden's age mattered. Trump's didn't, because he can have rallies. The fact he is a fat slob who wears diapers, can't mask his body odor, and is in cognitive decline gets swept under the rug. If he was in aged care, he'd be the guy carers would be drawing straws to avoid.

 

MAGA supporters don't matter. What matters are non-aligned voters, who actually decide who goes to the White House.

 

The GOP knows it has a couple of own goals already. The age issue has boomeranged on them. Non-aligned voters are not impressed by Roe vs Wade being overturned, nor are they likely to be persuaded by the argument Trump's felony convictions are political.

 

It's going to get nasty, but that is Trump and MAGA to a T.

 

 

 

It was the Democrats who were inreasingly worried about Biden's age-related cognitive deteriorationand who eventually forced him out. But all you do is attack Trump - not them - within your fairy tales.

Out of Trump's entire White House staff all but four refuse to endorse him for President. They're the one who know him best.

 

Others who have come to know him well are his secret service detail, and it appears they collectively decided to let that kid get off a few rounds first before taking him down.

But what is a convention? If not function where the delegates convene to nominate a candidate, and if a candidate is nominated  beforehand, what then is the purpose of a convention? A place to make speeches?

For the left it’s just a dog and donkey show, given the fact that they’re autocrats and dictate their nominees and their constituencies have no say, but who freaking cares, it’s what their constituents want since they can’t think for themselves, they need autocrats to do the thinking for them and that’s precisely why they vote for them.

That is a rather enormous bit of deflection and nonsense, he did have a plan to debate with Biden, Biden was the presidential candidate, so it makes total sense that the debate commitment would continue, with the current dem candidate. 

 

However he is simply showing us how much of a coward he is, and we all know how poorly he does against intelligent women. He would have been humiliated badly.

It's funny how hated Trump is overseas, so it's difficult to imagine how I'll be better off with him as lotus. But I like to keep an open mind, and am very intrigued to know, if he wins, how he will pick up with Xi and the Big Poot. I think 3 is definitely better than two when it comes to superpowers slugging it out. It's the only reason I'm interested in the result. American domestic politics don't interest me. It's where the nastiest and most bitter clashes occur it seems, from a stranger's perspective. I only wish all Americans the best of luck. I have immense respect for them, despite what I might say on this forum, where it can get extremely provocative. I have American friends I met out here. Nothing but total respect. The best of the best!
