According to the pols, 41% of Maryland also approves of Trump. They voted for Hilary over Bernie Sanders. Right now Hogan is up 20 points in the poll. Key for Jealous will be turnout. I know a couple of people who are politically active but didn't show up for Brown because they thought he would win anyways. I hope Jealous wins but if Dems are going to support Hogan who hasn't come out strongly against Kavanaugh, been anti-refugee in the past, and sent people for Maryland to help ICE before calling them back because of how unpopular it was. Washington Post is also endorsing Hogan.

I realy wonder if Jealous can get it done, he has had trouble getting signs made and his name out there. Hogan is also kneeling out the clock by only debating Jealous once. The grasroots effort is going to have to step up for Jealous to compete.

GOC is authentic. He has sent me numerous emails. He is sharing an experience with you...and apparently from a country that your ancestors are from. Why dont you lay off? Let him post? What's he hurting?

His posts make us all better. We should be thankful he shares with us his experience.

LOL, do you really want to make me expose you?

President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election because the United States did the same in other countries

Wait so you mean there’s a more complex analysis that Glen Greenwalds one note “Any Democrat he doesn’t approve of is worse than a Republican orthodoxy?” Who woulda thought.

you guys should be nicer to GOC. I'm not GOC nor am i anyone else on here. I have had various alias through the years when SD20 was inactive and i stopped in to say hi.

For starters GOC is a foreigner and an immigrant here on some type of short term visa. His mother lives here in minnesota i beleive. They are struggling and trying to survive and just to put food on the table. You guys come off as real jerks to him. Ruzious, apparently your family is from the same village as GOC?? So, GOC might be your distant relative. Not cool, bruh.

As far as how i post, or how Nate posts. Or GOC. and now Da1. You guys attack conservatives as soon as they pop their heads up around here. And you go at them relentlessly from the same 6-7 liberal posters with the same old liberal garbage talking points. New posters are not ready to come in and be attacked like that. You put them on the defensive and make them post aggressively in return or leave altogether. Which is your weird goals. Either way you are hoping they leave or get tossed. Why??? Why is having a discussion so difficult for you guys????? Is it because you dont have any actual ideas and are incapable of compromise???

YOU guys...the liberal preach tolerence. All day long. Which i happen to believe in BTW. Tolerence and diversity of race, origin, and of thought is a good thing. We are all different. It is suppose to be a good thing. Why even talk with anyone if you all feel the exact same way??? makes no sense. Conversation would be dead. Socialization would be dead. If we agreed on everything then there would be no reason to ever talk. ever. So why shut people up with different ideas?? You know not what you are doing. It's a complete joke.

Thankfully this board has and always had the best mods on realgm. And its not their fault that libs are out of control both here and in real life. The liberal left has become ridiculously intolerant. Its the liberal posters on here that feel that if you dont see the world the way they do then you are subhuman scum bag. Like being "pro life" somehow makes you a subhuman scum bag. THink about that for a second. pause. And think about that.

If liberals could slow their roll for even half a second what you would learn is that in fact that middle class working folk conservatives are some of the best human beings on the planet. We work. We pay our taxes. We are highly educated. Which makes us successful in general and the hard work, money, and education allows us to be more patient. We cut our grass every week and pick up the trash around our houses. We dont make split second decisions. So we make good decisions more times than not. That makes us smarter. because we are NOT overwhelmed with surviving. We can be patient and wait for the right decision to present itself. Poor Liberals could learn from us and we are happy to teach you. To show you the way. We often end up coaches or mentors. Because we found our little niche in life and enjoy ourselves we like for others to also find their niche and their own personal happiness. We buy homes. we invest in our markets. We get married. We have kids. It all leads to living a pretty good life. For the most part We are not out in bars trying to pick up women or other tomfoolery. We support our churches and local businesses. we support our schools. We give people jobs to others. We are fair. We believe in fairness and equality for all. and we understand that it all starts with self love which begets self responsibility which leads to a rewarding and fulfilling life and lifestyle. We understand that free stuff leads to apathy. Ya gotta make people a little hungry to feed themselves. We dont want to give you free fish. We want to teach you how to fish for yourself. So you feel better about yourself. So you love yourself more. So you take pride in your daily catch.

And many conservative like me absolutely believe in redistributing wealth. But on the elites. Not the nouveau riche former working class that might just be growing out of the working class into the leisure class. <--we want those pathways to remain open!!!! To inspire. To motivate the working poor and middle class to continue to work hard. But we want 2nd,3rd, 4th, etc generation elite leisure class' wealth redistributed. For me that is estates worth over $5million. but im open to different levels of wealth. redistribute that money!!!! and give it to the working poor!! pay them more money!! Inspire the poor to become working poor!!!

That's who we are!! Thats what we believe in!! and the left is trying to convince themselves that we are bad people. Its insane!!
like i said, its a full rebuild.

Hell Independents and Republicans should be pissed at the Republicans anti Democracy hill they’ve chosen to die on. I think it was Rick Wilson had a great quote. Democracy doesn’t work in the Republicans favour, Republicans will just get rid of Democracy.

GoC is 100% an alt account.

1. It's a new account on RealGM, a community that is contracting.
2. GoC is allegedly a Wizards fan who has made < 5 Wizards posts ever.
3. GoC started off posting in a completely different style. He uzzzed to talkzz lyke dizzzz
4. His current posting style of fake broken English is obviously a joke and fools nobody
5. His early posts contradict his current ones in terms of his made-up life story
6. More generally his posting style is totally inconsistent
7. His first handful of posts on RealGM were a crusade to EXPOSE me, gtn130, despite never having interacted with him prior to that

It's an alt account. The person behind the account is a right-wing conspiracy theorist, extremely verbose and has a lot of time on his hands. Wonder who it could be! Hmmmm

The perma furious Bernie Bros who sit out elections are 100% in it for the identity politics. They don't gaf about policy outcomes - they just want to feel smart and woke and signal to everyone that they understand power structures better than all the PARTISAN HACKS and HILLARY HOES

i'll take your word for it then. i'm like 2 months back from a 10 year hiatus, so i'm just offering my opinion based on my limited interactions. if it's SD though, that's pretty insane, not just from a content perspective but also a "who has the time" perspective.

Soooo trump fans are burning Nike’s and i just burned 4 pairs of yeezys..(couldn’t destroy the red October’s tho)...because when Kanye said he had to free Hoover from an alternate universe i realized that Kanye is crazier than Trump...its just Trumps more dangerous.

But on a serious note- Trump got all of the conservative sheep falling for his Russian Manchurian candidate ploys...further evidence
https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-stop-and-frisk-crime-in-chicago-2018-10

And it begins here...stop and frisk in Chicago and New York...then we elect a liberal and the liberal uses the stop and frisk laws to confiscate guns in rural conservative areas :D the NRA has rallied hard and lobbied even harder against gun registration NOW they say NOTHING when the president says he would use the government to check American citizens to see if they are EXERCISING THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS!!!! Liberals dont vote and Conservatives shouldn’t....America is doomed...but at least we got Dwight Howard... :nonono:

If you are too stupid to see The LONG CON...then yeah...liberals are mad at Kanye being in the whitehouse...but conservatives should be just as mad that the sitting president just got dome from Kanye in the White House while the presscore watched....

I frequent a couple of Progressive websites so I know the insufferableness of Bernie Bros. But there has to be more to it. I’ve found that there’s just a defeatist attitude with some Democrats. There’s a poster on the CA board from Georgia that’s definitely not a Bernie bro but he’s from a Georgia and said he wouldn’t be voting for Abrams because of some vote she took in the state senate. I mean here’s a clear example that there’s a Republican actively trying to **** him over and implement policies that would be worse than anything Abrams could do yet he’s talking about voting doesn’t make a difference and if Abrams loses by one vote then his vote would matter. I was like what the ****?!

If or when Democrats ever get back in power they need to enforce voting as a constitutional right. Make it easier to vote for every US citizen, make Election Day a national holiday, full statehood for DC and Puerto Rico. **** the Republicans anti Democracy tactics.

I'm not familiar with this story and instance, but I don't understand the argument against needing a photo ID to vote. It defies logic than someone can go vote by simply stating your name address and one or two things that can easily be memorized. Show proof that you are who you say you are and absolutely, vote as your heart desires.
