I am NOT freaking voting for this!!

https://theintercept.com/2017/07/17/with-new-d-c-policy-group-dems-conti...

Must read article from Glen Greenwald--of whom I am not normally a fan, BTW--in the Intercept about neo-con Democrat warmongering alliance.

Iran. Because..Israel doesn't like Iran, I guess.

Russia..because who knows?? Let me be very clear about something. I don't give a #$%^&*()>+ about what atrocities were committed a century and a half ago in someone's great great great grandmother's village by what half-starved, illiterate, never been away from home before, brutalized teenaged Czarist soldier.

GET OVER IT

Old world ancestral hatreds are not my problem.

High cost of rents and housing here in the USA is my problem.
Chemical and GMO contamination of our food supply, not to mention soil, air and water, is my problem.
No health care is my problem.
Also inadequate mass transit.
I could go on. All right here, right now quality of life issues on which the Democrats are either Out To Lunch or On the Wrong Side (GMOs and farm issues in general).

But GMOs are SCIENCE!! Are you anti-Science? /snark

My point: try posting the paragraph I cited over at The Other Place (Daily Kos), or any other traditionally Dem site, and see how long Mr. Bojo stays away!

Seriously: I agree with you on all these issues. And I remember a time when Democrats did, too (continuously-loyal States in the 1970s). Long gone, alas!

Sad

@thanatokephaloides you'd be accused of every 'ism' that would apply to your comment. And every person would jump all over your comment just in case you didn't get the message after the first person jumped your shit Smile

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

I was telling people before the election that if I was compelled to choose between Trump & Hillary I would have voted Trump because Hillary was too bloodthirsty.

I've been second guessing that analysis recently. This article confirms that Dem Neoliberals are just as bloodthirsty as Neocons.

Thx for the heads-up.

@Meteor Man except the Greens are getting a little nutty now here in NY. I just went to their NY Green website and had a look at some of their candidates. Yikes! Oh. My. God. ID politics worked so well for the Dems, the Greens (in NY) are trying it now.

That the Democrats are now fully embracing their goal of becoming "Republicans, now with less crazy®"

Except they are just as crazy when it comes to war and financial policy so effectively our Two party system consists of a Republican Party and a Republican Nut Job Party.

Getting kinda hard to tell which is which...
