New Year's Resolutions Pertaining to Politics.

It's been done. Can be done again with less divisive mentalities but go ahead, keep perpetuating your bullshit.

That's a pretty mundane analysis. Like counting tree rings.

Misses the "why". "why" there is division stems from divergence of basic views on democracy.

The fascist minority will not recognize the results of an election if they lose. They lost in a perfectly run election and want to reject our vote. We can't compromise on this issue. If they competed on ideas and tried to win votes from people who are skeptical of them, then we can talk. They reject elections. So antifascists must reject them.

The parties could compromise, as long as black people were thrown under the bus, the parties are polarized now. Black people and other minorities are strong in the democratic party these days and things are coming to a head. It's a fight for the soul of the nation, will it be a liberal democracy or an oligarchy riding herd on a bunch of racist morons in a fascist illiberal state. This cold second civil war is just a continuation of the first one, the issue is the same, human rights for African Americans, everything else is smoke and mirrors. Racism, bigotry and tribalism are the forces that jerk republicans chains so hard their heads pop off, the culture wars are bullshit.

The republicans never even had a platform in 2020, just whatever Trump pulled out of his ass, not to mention they went to bed with the Russians and not just Trump either. Russia is a hostile foreign power that has thousands of nukes pointed at you FFS. That's literal treason, even if it is not legal treason because there is no war declared, but we might be fighting Russia in the Ukraine soon. Stay tuned to Foxnews, they will give you the Russian side, since most of their material seems to be written there. This is not politics as usual, the republicans don't want to play politics, they are practicing cold civil war, politics requires goodwill on both sides and that is not possible with the GOP.

to lull into complacency.

breaking the sentence down into little pieces may help you in the future.
He might need to take a time out after reading something and re-read after he clears his anger hormones. He clearly did not understand my post. Wasn't the best wording, I agree. I didn't think I had to explain but turns out, I did.

Yep. Democrats compromised the shit out of black and brown people's rights in the 80's and 90's. But times and demographics have changed.

You’re the one who, when rationally cornered, posts frivolities.
They're not friviolities, they're fascinating and humorous memes.

I do that to amuse myself when I'm done mentally masturbating and bathing in the self riteous afterglow. I guess it's cuz I don't smoke cigarettes.

To say it’s been done, then not to say when, where and how, with link, is trolling. I have not heard of any successful program to rehabilitate the traitriots who have taken over one of the two parties but not the other. Your video did not address the issue.
There's datestamps on that link, genius. Watch it.

Again no rooster in this fight but it seems that to compromise with a group that actually tried to silence the majority (well yes, tried but seriously failed) by lies, and when that failed, then force, would not be compromise but more of a surrender :(.
Their only hope is to gain enough of a majority in the house and senate that will allow them to exterminate the republicans politically. This will be done through voting rights and fair elections legislation, regulating media to get rid of divisive elements and alternative realities, and a terrorist watch list and laws to take care of their violent wing. They are really in a minority already and heading south fast. The fact that the republicans know they need to cheat to win says a lot about their confidence, in spite of bluster and bravado.

There is no conservative movement in this country. What was once a right of center conservative movement has shifted so far right in authoritarian ideology that they are now fascist. Almost all US fascists are white and middle aged or more. The gender split among fascists is 60% male, 40% female. So, nearly all are white, older, male and deeply religious. It is a dwindling demographic.
Almost 40% of those older white male republicans are unvaxxed and eschew masks. Covid might not kill enough of them, but there will be plenty fucked over by election day! :lol:

I'm not hoping to win this way. I don't want to win this way. Doesn't matter what I want. Enough are going to die in contested districts to flip a few districts blue. I wish everybody who could took the vaccine so that we can argue about politics with them. They didn't. Unless Republicans manage to get a "Dead Republican can vote" bill passed, they will lose a few seats due to the recent spike in deaths due to Covid.

There's nothing we can do about it but watch, they knew and we helped to tell them of the danger, pleaded in some cases. You can only take advantage of their folly because they are dangerous to themselves, others and their country. Trump poisoned the well early and once the bullshit got rolling it took on a momentum of it's own, now not even the republicans can stop it and have given up trying, they were trying for awhile, when the realized they screwed themselves. Not even Trump can stop it, as was demonstrated at one of his recent rallies where he got booed.

Best advice is if your enemy is digging his own grave, get out of the way. IMHO saving the country is more important than some kamikaze republicans who are literally dying to own the libs. The hospitals are now full of them and the staff are getting harassed, threatened and spat upon by them and their relative's, we are seeing it in the news daily, as the go out in style.

It's not.

The relevance is, our Govt bodies used to work together. Now, they're clearly separate. Very relevant. And mentalities like yours continue to drive that wedge.
I don't understand how capitulation to fascists is a solution. Propose a different alternative, please.
