I also went about 10 months without logging in.

I think Dore is toxic and your post attempting to drive me away over criticism of Dore is an example of why I wouldn’t want him as President. He would be like Trump but admittedly better.

I will consider it though. I don’t spend a lot of time here.

She had no chance to win so I doubt Sanders entered the race to stop her. Controlled opposition and deep state tool sounds like a conspiracy theory.

You would think that, with a month of advance warning about how the Supreme Court was going to rule, Democrats would have been better prepared for the day that Roe v. Wade finally fell. And yet, when it happened, Democrats did what Democrats do best: make memes, get mad at each other, and do little of consequence.

There was a bit of private…[Read more]

I was thinking of the people over at SV where young bashing is common. I don’t know what David the Gnome said that brought up millennials but I was just giving my perspective on how the usage of the word evolved and now used mainly as an insult by Republicans— I see it in campaign ads all the time.

I didn’t say that is how I took it but other…[Read more]

Is something Boomers of both parties do. The Democratic boomers have mostly stopped because Republicans use the word for everything. Madison Cawthorn accused Zelensky of pushing “woke ideologies”.

The young voters bailed out the Democrats because Republicans tend to do better with older voters.

When it comes to Biden approval ratings he has fallen faster with young voters. Voting him over Trump isn’t a bad thing. In the primary Sanders won young voters in 2016 & 2020 but they didn’t turn out as well.

Is I see debunked conspiracy theories on this forum all the time. One of the things that make JPR different than most websites is you can discuss a conspiracy theory on the front page.

Especially the Soros stuff.

He did talk about capitalism in Colombia so he sounded a bit like Elizabeth Warren but I think this is good news considering how right wing Colombia is.

She was the only one that voted against the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. She has a consistent record on defense spending.

In the case of Ukraine she feels Putin is the aggressor who launched an invasion so she made an exception there for Ukraine weapons to defend themselves.

When your posts are serious or sarcasm.

She is not even a moderate. She is very conservative and she is just trying to give neocons control back to their party.

I also can’t forgive her for her attacks on Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
