Stockholmer

@ohiobarbarian

Yes, your post is a strawman response, given that I have never said that the Democrats are never at fault for anything.  In fact, in the very post you respond to, I criticized the DNC.

As for changing the subject, the subject of this thread, as I understand it, is the assertion that “the Democrats”  have no excuse not to pass w…[Read more]

@stockholmer has been proven correct. By saying they’re something they’re really not, both Bernie and AOC have made it more difficult to see what they really are. They’re both Social Democrats, not socialists. Bernie’s definition of socialism, which is anything that is taxpayer-funded, is only a narrow slice of what socialism means.

It means that…[Read more]

You can also add the video where Biden brags about breaking the Geneva Convention non-intervention protocol to get the Prosecutor-General of Ukraine fired by withholding a billion…[Read more]

Merely from this artful ‘storyboard’ (?) @stockholmer, I’m taken back to elementary school in the 70’s, when I believe we watched that cinematic adaptation of this short story, on an old 16mm film projector. Quite a while back now, considering all the oligarchic crap that has been foisted on us since.

@stockholmer

And one of the best, most faithful cinematic adaptations of a short story that I’ve ever seen.

@stockholmer Gun sales in the swing states have gone up 80%. People who have either never owned guns or haven’t for many years are buying them now. For a thousand bucks, one can get a perfectly good new firearm and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. People who had an extra thousand–many who through economic class or the luck of having a decently…[Read more]

@stockholmer

I can’t blame him, as it’s not smart to demonstrate the ignorance of the person interviewing you, nor to waste your limited time in doing so.

He explained that they were different, but then he said he was OK with being labeled a Democratic Socialist, and I guess by doing that he was wisely refusing to paint Democratic Socialists as…[Read more]

@stockholmer It’s called the Defense Department. Most of the rest is controlled by a few supercorporate cartels. It’s beyond me why some thing a few “private” individuals and families should control over half the economy in the name of free enterprise or capitalism.

Besides, most American socialists don’t want the old Soviet model, no matter what…[Read more]

Anything to derail Biden, eh, @stockholmer ?

He’s saying that Bernie Sanders’ description of what is happening now, socialism for the corporations and dog-eat-dog capitalism for the rest of us, isn’t really socialism at all, but a uniquely American type of fascism, which is the merger of government and corporate power. The government enables many capitalist businesses to exist and profit by…[Read more]

@stockholmer He may still win our antiquated and antidemocratic electoral college while losing the national popular vote. He could still win enough states to legitimately win. My feeling is that whoever wins, he may go down in history as the last President of the United States.

Things are bad and getting worse. The whiff of revolution is in the…[Read more]

@stockholmer

@stockholmer What are Biden’s people going to do? Have Dubya nominate her for VP via Zoom at the Democratic convention? Yippee-yee-hah! How classy!

Barf.

@stockholmer It won’t be Stacey Abrams; she’s too fat and too pushy. Downright uppity, in fact. Maybe Scamala, though; she sends the right message to the secretly racist white liberals because she locked up LOTS of black people, including those horrible single mothers who let their kids skip school while they were at work. Education must be…[Read more]

Here’s reality… You all are entitled to you opinions, @stockholmer @bazukhov @hasslecat…

but I think a paragraph from MistaP’s linked article above says it best, so that I can jump right in here and remind you that just because you blow off sexual harassment or worse, certainly situations of extreme cruelty, the ultimate bullshit meter…[Read more]

@stockholmer predicted this one some time ago.

@stockholmer

Or it doesn’t haven’t to have any spin or narrative to it all. They just do the internal polling and crunch the numbers.

And maybe the insiders really understand that if Biden is allowed to stay as the presumptive nominee, and then become the nominee, that it will be absolutely essential that his running mate is seen as utterly…[Read more]

I  have nothing to say @stockholmer

@stockholmer I visited there many years ago. Great people, great food(Danish beef is the best in this Texan’s opinion), the beer’s good, and the Danes make the most fantastic sandwiches. They also mostly speak English, which would help a lot.

And other assorted weapons. It’s just that those of us who aren’t right wing wackos don’t go around showing them off. Because we’re not crazy and we don’t want some damned fool cop panicking and shooting us. @stockholmer

But if these stupid rednecks think they can just go on shooting rampages without being shot back at, they’ve got another thing…[Read more]
