You of course, are not even slightly partisan.

Not to mention your fav argument is often personal attacks.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

Dems have generally been ahead on the issue, and those I know who call themselves Liberal have consistently been way ahead. The 'Moderate' Democrats though have not. Biden in particular has been notably behind the times. And while he says the right things in the White House, it's not like there has been a massive Federal push to decriminalize it and release prisoners whose sole 'crime' was weed. Proud of Maryland for joining the ranks of States who are doing it, even in this patchwork piece by piece way.

Well because you’re a partisan clown, you assume I vote republican, which shows how ignorant people like you and most Americans are when it comes to politics.

Idgaf about this antiquated two party system. You’re the one that goes into the voting booth and vote down line like a partisan fool. When I vote, I vote for the policies that matter to me and I vote for ballot initiatives. I don’t vote for a party. That’s what stupid brainwashed muppets do.


No actually you've said you don't vote Republican, that's why I said "Republican/Independent"

Reading is fundamental.

Look, it's a free country. You can insult me if you want. It's pathetic and sad for you to pretend to be all edgy and independent and then just regurgitate insults I've heard a thousand times before. You're just a voice in the buzzing crowd man, a conformist who thinks he's standing out by copying ideas from a different textbook. Boring. A little disappointing, if I cared that much. For some reason you hate my guts and hey, with someone as boring and bland as you I wear that as a badge of honor, that my needling you to be more interesting really gets under your skin. Here's to my needling in the future really sending you over the edge.

I don't know if this is a secret desire of yours or what but if you want to really impress me with how racist I am, present to me an original thought, an argument I haven't heard before. I challenge you not to bore the hell out of me.
I've been taught all my life to value service to the weak and powerless.

Yes

Fear used to assimilate power.

Activate the amygdala and higher aspects of cognition disappear.
Propagandists have taken advantage of that probably since the dawn
of civilization.

Virtually every bit of social progress that happened in the last sixty years
has been led by libs/Dems (not the old Dixie Dems). I cant think of
a single aspect of progress that wasn’t opposed by cons and advocated
for by libs.

What a complete ****. She knew she’d get destroyed in her primary but finds a way to screw the Democrats one last time. Biden needs to make her ambassador of Greenland or some ****.

Rat-f**ked again, there should be a rule that any party switcher must resign in office regardless of party affliction, can't wait to see her gone.

Do you know where "lock her up" originated? Your sources have been badly compromised and use the both sides argument with impunity.

Sir, you openly spread misinformation in this very thread. So why would I care what you have to say when it comes to misinformation? Again, you liberals expose just how hypocritical you are on damn near every topic.

Democrats are absolutely clueless.
They think it's ok that the husband of the biggest hag in the US drives drunk
They preach gun control then release the "Merchant of death"
And they happily put the US into a recession

Anecdotal

and false, you don't have near to 3% growth in Q3 and add jobs and call it a recession. And then compare it to the rest of the world and we are absolutely killing it.

Come on comrade Bonscott, you and your Russian cronies can do better propaganda than that...

Bonscott won't actually engage in a back and forth any more than a certain
other board malcontent will. Note than Bonscott cannot describe the GOP
plan for getting us out of the recession he claims, without evidence, that
we are in. There is a simple reason for that, there is no GOP plan for that.
There are only plans to investigate Hunter Biden, Fauci, Garland...
The ridiculous thing is that from inside their bubble, they think this
makes them seem like they are good at their jobs.
