Trump needs a newer Harry and Louise to promote the threat left wing rioters pose...on account of he’s a Churchill level reassuring and calming mofo.
“At a Michigan rally on Friday, Trump mused about a mass exodus of wealthy families from the suburbs if “residents of Antifa,” an ill-defined group of left-wing and anarchist activists, were to move there, telling supporters that if Biden wins, “the rioters, anarchists, arsonists and flag burners win."

The Trump campaign has embraced the “Antifa” narrative as well, most recently through a text message with the subject “(1) ANTIFA ALERT,” which told supporters “they’ll attack your homes if Joe’s elected. Pres Trump needs you to become a Diamond Club Member.”

Baldy, you're projecting ... :mrgreen:
I keep trying to tell you guys that Biden is center right.

:coffee:
He could very well be, but the knock against Biden, as you know, is that he's a puppet at this point and does not have the energy or intellectual wherewithal to lead, and hence he will defer governing to his handlers. And even if that ends up not being true, there's certainly a lot of valid concern for it to be true.

Oh it’s much worse than that. Just like Obama he’s also a marxist. (Never mind that fascists hate Marxists). Nothing worse than a nationalistic Marxist.

I agree with ending fear politics.

From my vantage point, I hear much more of it from the left than the right, although both sides indulge in the practice.

My guess is 72%from the left and 28% from the right.

72/28? Those are some interesting numbers. It's probably closer to 50/50. Both sides are guilty of it. Doesn't matter HOW much more bad one side is than the other. :twocents:

How did Sanders characterize Biden’s voting record as a senator?

Btw, where is the center in your opinion? Does it ever move?

If I’m not mistaken, Biden’s voting was rated one of the farthest left in the Senate when he was there.

Please list the OECD countries:
- with sanctuary cities.
- that have provided amnesty for 11 million illegals.
- that have de facto open non-EU borders.
- that have no travel bans.

I don’t know about sanctuary cities.

Reagan provided amnesty.

Wasn’t that an issue with Muslim refugees?

I don’t know.

Your point?

That opinion piece in the WP is one of the most poorly argued, I thought it was satire.

"Trump is terrible and demonstrably damaged the country in all these ways, but Biden may be a progressive-commie-socialist figurehead, contrary to his well-established positions in a decades long career as a centrist. Oh, I also hate the coasts and multiple positions that an overwhelming majority of Americans agree with. So in conclusion: fascism is bad, but Americans having healthcare is worse."

If you can't support super-centrist Biden, just admit you'd never vote for a donk and save us the time.

ps. The author of the opinion piece works for a far-right institute.
