No matter how extreme they appear to be they always end up supporting scuzzbag Democrats. Biden is clearly an imbecile, and about the only thing going for him over Hillary and the Arkansas gang is the lower body count and fewer bank accounts.

Tony EH wrote: » None of you rail against on here is the left, "new" or otherwise. BLM is not the left, gay rights activists are not the left, transgender organisations are not the left, feminists are not the left...ad nauseam. They are all separate groups looking for vastly different things and probably wouldn't have a single clue about what a left wing position is about anything. Especially in America where there isn't any left. There reason for existence is to push an extremely limited agenda that's of a very small scope. There are many on the left who are just as critical of the likes of BLM or as bemused with some of the more extreme trans activist issues as anyone else and these issues are not the proclivity of a particular wing of politics. "The Left" tag is just a convenient strawman for the simple minded on here to erect, put things they dislike into and burn down, and every time it's used it just sounds appallingly stupid. Any points that might be made come a cropper because the poster cannot resist their petty little dig. It has long since become utterly tiresome.

Ah standard right vs right stuff in America. If only they had more leftism they'd be alright. I think there is an easy test for this kind of stuff. Some people get offended by the truth: These people are generally on the left. Other people get offended by lies: These people are generally on the right.

He will post anything whether it makes sense or not, just to add pages to it in the hope that his racist ones will get lost in the ether.

Protestors have occupied that month since. Turner was with her family turning into the lot across the street, they were confronted by a “group of armed individuals” who had blocked the entrance and it was then someone in that group opened fire on the vehicle, striking it multiple times and striking the kid who was inside. The BLM movement continues to get out of hand and shows the hypocrisy of the movement day by day. I see a lot cases like this but this one, in particular, was worse because even at the protest location where Rashard Brooks died and the message of the demonstration, even black people are not safe. Its sad.https://twitter.com/wsbtv/status/1279901929942941702

Tony EH wrote: » There ISN'T any left in American politics. Both parties are wedded to corporate interests and big business. They are essentially a neo-liberal mush and merely separated by hair's breadth on most things. In most other developed countries, the likes of Joe Biden or the Clintons are the Conservative options. To look at those people and consider them "left" just shows that someone doesn't know what they're talking about and has probably spent too much time listening to American arseholes on YouTube. The Democrats are no more left wing than Mickey bleedin Mouse. In addition, you're simplistic rendering of left and right is wholly indicative of the schoolyard mentality of a lot of people on here who can only reduce everything down "I hAtE the lEft" in every topic they enter. The political world is a far more complex machine than that.
