The BlueSwan Basement of Absurd & Ignorant Posts VIII

If being pro-choice = "anti-Catholic", then Sinn Fein are more anti-Catholic than the DUP.

The idea that being opposed to a particular doctrine of a faith automatically makes you prejudiced against that faith is ridiculous. If true that would make e.g. devout Catholics anti-semites by definition, or, hell, make the majority of US Catholics who disagree with making divorce illegal anti-Catholic too.

For all practical purposes Sinn Fein are more anti-Catholic than the DUP.  They are active participants in the Quiet Revolution to diminish the role of the Catholic church in Irish society.

I don’t think Moore will be the nominee this time, and if he is not I will want the democrats to give  Jones a canteen and a pistol and set him loose, but if Moore gets the nom again, I am going to go to the mat for Jones, and I hope dems will follow. Moore has to get every last ounce of fight we got if he is the nominee.

As progressive as I am, you're not going to get much better than Doug Jones, I can admit that.

Jones campaigned as a progressive, but unfortunately he's decided to go down the Moderate Hero route with his votes in the Senate.

Well, he does still wanna try to win re-election.

It's so stupid though. Is he gonna win as an open socialist? Probably not, but he stands the same odds there as he does running a Richard Shelby circa 1992 campaign. If anything, at least the first one would help him turn out a base.

Lol at thinking that being a socialist would give Jones, a better shot at winning in Alabama!

We need a name change, OP

There was nothing absurd or ignorant about that post. Just a hot take.

He didn't say that he stood a better chance, for one. Also, having a .05% chance to win as a socialist isn't a significant change from having a .06% chance to win as a normal Democrat.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

The stupid post was the one talking about Jones winning as an "open socialist", when he never campaigned as one or claimed to be one.

[Politician]

The notion Doug Jones is a socialist is just fully nonsense. He's a moderate-to-liberal Democrat, much in the same corner than Joe Biden.

Nobody who isn't a full-fleged fascist or AnCap thinks Doug Jones is a socialist.

Every democrat is a socialist.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

Accusing leftists who don't support Biden of wanting to supress black voters is reprehensible, period.

Guess we got to bring back the white primary so some liberals can be satisfied.

[Politician]

They will swing dramatically R if
1. We nominate a non white candidate- I wish I was kidding, but sadly I'm not. And don't lecture me about how Obama won in 2012, things have changed. Obama was from the midwest and had a midwestern accent. That alone appealed to these people because they could relate to him. Also, the economy was much worse off then it was now.
2. We run culturally very far to the left- Poor white people are going to be incensed about reparations(which 99% of candidates support some form of). The candidates that heavily push abortion as an issue will also struggle, especially overturning Hyde. Abolishing ICE is just going to sound crazy and people are going to get scared that criminals will come in because they aren't as educated and more prone to fear.

Gabbard.

I kinda wished Obama, Trump, Cruz, Warren, Sanders and Gabbard were all members of the same party, while Clinton, Romney, Biden and the Bushes of the opposite party (the neoliberals). A united anti-establishment front vs neocon/neolib establishment. Things would be much more interesting.

We would love to face Harris..

Then you'll lose. She's better and more compelling at this than Obama. If you want a culture war then you'll lose. The silent majority backs liberal cosmopolitanism.

This is why I’m no longer a Christian! Instead of worshiping God, Christians seem to care more about protecting their (((rich friends)))

Republicans are the worst to make these folks run around begging for health related compensation benefits.

You just had to make this about politics, didn't you? Bush already gave compensation by hunting the guys who did this.

HPs! The Republican Party stands for freedom while the Democratic Party stands for big government. Democrats love illegal aliens but hate America and Americans! They also hate all our allies, especially Israel. There’s also a deep anti semitism problem in the Democratic Party. For some reason according to the democrats racism against black people is a real problem, but anti semitism isn’t a real problem and shouldn’t be taken seriously. Democrats hate Jews so much. Republicans do everything they can to protect the Jewish people and make sure they have a safe place to go in the world. Democratic president FDR not only set up Jewish quotas at Harvard, but he is also responsible for turning away Jewish refugees and leaving them to die in the Holocaust. Democrats have apologized for their racism against black people, but not for their anti semitism, and on top of all this, Dems attack white Christians as well. The Republican Party doesn’t only support white Christians. They support all Americans of all races and backgrounds. That’s why I support the Republican candidates in most cases, with the exception of 2016.

Never participated in one but I was absolutely disgusted when I saw a pride parade last year in NYC. We need to ban them to prevent further degeneracy.

There were people handing out socialism pamphlets

Absolutely this. My city of Chicago had it's pride parade today and it was completely disgusting, and it was all at the expense of the taxpayers too. Luckily it got rained out.

Good Lord.
And then people wonder why we label some blue avatars as "Deplorables."
Excellent example above.
Just wow .... unbelievable.

Hey Im just making an anti socialist comment here.

And i'm just saying that least don't do this stuff with municipal dollars. Have some company run these events.

And for your information, this is a pretty mainstream viewpoint in the real world, even if it isn't in your internet bubble.

That's nice ...
You are saying and acknowledging that the "real world" finds pride parades to be "absolutely and totally disgusting." That bigotry towards the LBGT community is a "pretty mainstream viewpoint."
How can anyone possibly see that your comment is not full of hate, and makes it "Deplorable" in every way, shape and form.

Deplorable or not, the world is waking up. Every parade, every corporate pander, every child exploited, just creates more and more negative reactions. The community needs to reform it's message or get thrown into the trashbin of history.

There is nothing extreme about supporting conversion therapy- it’s despicable to try to withhold the psychological treatment that sufferers of homosexuality need..

Pence is the only sane person in the White House.

Thank you Mike for that.

EMILY's Li$t follows the money, chooses the more corporate woman again.

I cannot wait until this blight on the progressive movement is dismantled.

My favorite part is how they're picking and choosing in this primary between two women, but haven't endorsed Maggie Toulouse Oliver in NM over noted grifter, establishment candidate, and male Ben Ray Lujan.

Just call these scumbags a front group for the establishment already.

Dude you really have a hate boner over Emily's list.  Guess someone doesn't like that their fav women don't get picked and have to dunk on a womens organization to feel better.

Also strange you want to call the hispanic man a grifter when the white woman you support does the same things he does.  Hmm I wonder why bro.

I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of an ostensibly "pro-women's organization" deciding to pick and choose which woman is the most qualified, but not supporting a pro-choice Democratic woman who's actually running against a man. Considering this and their non-endorsement of Kara Eastman in NE-2, I think I've justified my issues with them.

I'm also fairly sure Maggie Toulouse Oliver didn't throw Ilhan Omar under the bus, and she certainly didn't come out in "support" of her hours after ripping her on national TV like Lujan did.

Fake allies like you are the reason why racism and sexism aren't taken seriously. You don't care about stopping racism and sexism in politics. You are the white male savior personified: your accusations are to protect politicians you agree with. You've taken up the mantle of fighting for women, even if some of the women on Greater Atlas agree with me. Your "crusade" is self-serving, paternalistic, and in bad faith.

Then again, considering all that, it's no wonder why you support these bull**** artists.

Ask Lucy Flores, Jess King, or AOC if I'm wrong.

But of course, why rebut a post made with clear, strong examples you don't agree with when you can post it in the Deluge instead?

(also shoutout to backing a guy calling me a virulent racist/misogynist, I thought we were friends enough to where you wouldn't do that but apparently not)

I don't know what Stonewall was. I'd have to google it. I would probably dislike both events. I always found the right to protest just, but quite idiotic. Best case, nothing happens. Worse case, you're hurt or arrested.

It's like a child having a picket sign to protest their parents feeding them vegetables for dinner.
