The BlueSwan Basement of Absurd & Ignorant Posts VIII

Tulsi Gabbard is the only Democrat in the United States I've seen be praised by Libertarians and the Trump right since George Wallace and Strom Thurmond.

She's by far the most electable. Her military experience and socially libertarian but progressive views will win over a large number of independents and even drag some away from Trump.

The world without any caucuses...

2016: Hillary wins IA (instead of tying), Bernie is just a gadfly getting 20% the rest of the way.

2008: Hillary wins IA and NH, Obama is just a blip on Super Tuesday (polling shows that southern blacks weren't for him originally since they didnt think he had a chance), Hillary rolls to victory (and probably blows the general election, but thats another discussion)

2004: Dean is just a blip, and Edwards doesn't amount to much other than the token southerner. Kerry wins, but picks Gephardt for veep.

2000: Not much different from reality.

1992:No candidate had strength outside his region though Bill Clinton successfully spun his NH loss into being a comeback kid. Brown was the caucus candidate, and would have been more insignificant. Clinton still wins just because the primary calendar is stacked for the south and its also a bigger region.

1988: This one is tough, but I think Gephardt just for name recognition, but maybe still Dukakis.

1984: still Mondale

1976: No Carter. Tight contest between Wallace, Udall, Bayh, Scoop Jackson, with each appealing to different groups?

I suspect Democrats (at least the activists) will regret this anti-caucus movement as future nominations become a name recognition contest.

What makes you think that Clinton would lose 2008? I'm not a fan of hers but literally any competent Democrat would win on the back of the economy that year

2008 hypothetical Clinton vs. McCain polling.

McCain leading MI and IL being tossup is all you have to know. Hillary was as much of a turnoff in 2008 as she was in 2016.

Emphasis mine:

I do enjoy certain people's use of 'illegal' as a noun, and other de-humanizing terms like 'crash our borders'.  This must be what they imagine our southern border must look like:

That's exactly what they are doing.  They have entered the country in violation of our laws and they have done so by permeating our borders illegally.

That's not OK.  Doing nothing about it isn't OK either because such a policy does nothing to deter more to violate our laws.

I don't think you care as to the burden American taxpayers shoulder in this matter.

Compassionate conservatism.

This thread went exactly how I expected. Deflections, calling it neoliberal propaganda, and pretending it’s not a big deal. Y’all act just like Trump supporters.

Democrats like you are worse than the batsh**t crazy Republicans who yelled BENGHAZI for 4 years.

Um.... people are actually being indicted and going to prison for Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. You are clearly not living in reality if you think this is comparable to Benghazi which resulted in none of that. And I’m not a bitter Hillary bot either. I just don’t blow smoke up Bernie’s ass and do not think he’s all that great. Y’all can’t debunk or defend so you call it propaganda, deflect, or plug your wars and ignore it. Just like Trumpers.

No, they are going to prison for tax evasion. Israel did more to interfere with the 2016 election than Russia. And the hypocrite Clintons interfered for the guy who chose Putin as his successor in 1996. This whole Russia thing was invented to deflect from the Democratic party sucking, go after progressives,  and to start a new cold war to benefit the military industrial complex.

An auspicious debut from another one of our maroon avatars.

Democrats will cave soon and accept the wall over some package of priorities, after all, they looked at 2016 and said they need to get more racist to win.

White boy did nothing wrong. He just stood there and smiled while Native guy tried to intimidate him. Still, liberals on this site freak out like he did something. They hate white people just for existing.

Whites are some of the most oppressed groups in western society.

I've just discovered these two posters' entire contributions to the forum distilled into one sentence each within the same quote chain:

it's amazing how the Democratic and Republican bases have become so divided over this incident.

I am grateful for President Trump weighing in on this.

Whenever you put one of my posts here, I am ever more convinced that I am on the right track.

Let’s not ignore who put such poisonous ideas in these children’s heads. After all, would one have found Catholic boys saying these things a hundred years? Perish the thought! But the liberals’ cherished sexual revolution has infected these children’s minds (as it has infected so much else in our once great civilization), and now those same liberals have the arrogance to blame these boys for being victims of social decay. Sad! What else can one say?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Can we just put the entire posting history of Jeffster here and leave it at that?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Actually if Hillary were President, Maduro would be dead already.

Has anyone observed that jfern's posts have crossed the line from irrelevant and non-sequitur to bona fide surrealistic?

Who is this guy and why should we care about his conspiracy theories?

You know, former DNC chair Ed Rendell said he would support an independent Bloomberg run if Bernie got the nomination?

[Landslide Lyndon]

That would be a great ad if anyone not named Tulsi Gabbard was in it.

Can someone explain to me the animosity towards Gabbard on this board? Is it literally just because establishment supporters fear the threat of the anti-establishment moderate?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Well, it is Bill Clinton's party.

Better Bill Clinton's party than George W. Bush's or Donald Trump's party.

As if there's any substantive difference between the three

[Landslide Lyndon]

Obama was a fraud. He was about as real as Justin Fairfax's claims of innocence

Wikipedia proved the primaries were rigged.

Wikipedia proved the primaries were rigged.

Except you’re purposefully posting something he quickly said was a mistake, but sure, expected of you.

His "correction" is arguably even more ridiculous.

Blaming the people rather than the system has to be peak neoliberalism.

The system is built and supported by the people....

It's almost as untrue in America as it is in Russia.

Lol no , Russia’s is a dictatorship, America is a democracy .

No it isn't.

See 2000 and 2016, gerrymandering, voter suppression, the electoral college, the U.S Senate, the number of U.S House seats each state gets, etc.

No Democracy in the world is pure lmao


Parliamentary systems are less Democratic than the EC

"White nationalism" is just a extreme reaction to SJW anti-whitism and open-borderism, led by such horrible institutions attacking freedom of speech like the SPLC.

He's right.

White nationalism has been around far longer than muh s jay dubyas.

Modern US white nationalism is just a reaction to racist hicks having less influence in this country.

No, it's an adverse reaction to that minorities now wanting to become the oppressors and blame everything on white people.  Now it's their time to be cruel! 

Thanks for posting directly into the appropriate thread.

[Landslide Lyndon]

this is inconsistent.  They ban white nationalism but black, asian, jewish, latino ethnic nationalism, ect are allowed. 

[Landslide Lyndon]

Hillary supporters essentially elected Trump by knowingly supporting an unelectable candidate whose policies caused millions to die.

In a way they are closet racists or atleast responsible for most of Trump's policies. At the very least they should apologize for enabling murder & racism.

[Landslide Lyndon]

In true bipartisan fashion I propose this thread to be renamed the Fuzzy Shadows Graveyard.

[Landslide Lyndon]

The signing of the heartbeat bill is much more reprehensible than blackface, not that either's okay.

Simple truths thread that way.

I got a good laugh out of these:

I'm confident that Mexico will reimburse the US for the Wall once it is completed.

It'll probably be done by November 2020.

This must be some parody account, like CoburnIn2012. No effing way this is a real person.

I don't want any conservative to lecture us on states' rights ever again:

EPA to revoke California’s power to limit vehicle emissions

The federal government sometimes needs to intervene when rogue states with dictatorial governments such as California are abusing their power to pursue tyrannical policy initiatives.

When the Right talks about states' rights, we're usually talking about states granting greater freedom to their citizens or protecting freedoms that the Federal government is infringing. Not states taking away freedom and oppressing their citizens as California does.
