It's one logical conclusion based on the Democratic Party offering these things in election cycle after election cycle with loss after loss.

Republicans hate government. It’s a losing proposition for Democrats to say “the government will fix your problems”. They will never believe it, just like I will never believe in God.

Many of them have internalized the idea that any government is evil. It's not a rational position, purely emotional, and they readily accept all the good things governments do for them, many times not believing that the government does those things.

I haven't been to a game or even on campus in years, and I don't have any interest in meeting a bunch of old dudes from the internet just to prove a point to one of them.

Also, Bud Light is trash and I would be offended if you offered me one. Absolute piss, that stuff.

Dwags I would like to come to your tailgate one day but I have two children now and tailgating is not possible for several more years please stay alive until then

That’s not the point, and you pretty much know that. I told you I am an open book and as proof of that I gave you people from this very board that ventured over to my Tailgate  ask them.


You claimed that somehow I am different than what I am on this message board.  

What’s funny? Is you trying to defend yourself and actually saying that you aren’t as big of an ass in person as you are on this board.   Son, if you can’t figure out what you think about yourself, nobody is going to be able to help you.

So your contention is that you behave online, here, Twitter, and everywhere else, exactly as you do in person? Am I understanding you correctly? I hope that's not your contention, because there is virtually no way that's true, and it would reflect very poorly on your ability to self-evaluate if you actually believe it.

I have a very good handle on what I think of myself, I'm not sure what has given you the impression that I don't. I am a massive asshole on the Internet. I have asshole thoughts and tendencies, and I indulge them pretty freely online. I have the same thoughts in person, but I keep the dickish ones to myself most of the time because of course I do. It is much easier to ignore the humanity of another person when they are just words on a screen and their big dumb face isn't staring you in the eyes while you berate them for their stupidity. This is not a novel concept, and I am not its discoverer, nor the lone sufferer of the affliction.

Republican/libertarians elected a guy president with a criminal history that couldn't get a job stocking shelves at Meijer.

But I'm supposed to blame Democrats?

Honest to fucking god (sorry republican/libertarians), but make it make sense why I'm supposed to blame Democrats.

Also, I realize that this is rhetorical and that nobody will have a legitimate explanation that satisfies my simple-minded, non-mainstream media influenced self.

Em, ok.

You are so great and wise and have so much to teach me about how to use social media, guy who is several decades older than me and gets in internet fights all the fucking time.

You are crushing it. So much self awareness. It is truly awe inspiring.

You should blame Democrats for losing to the most transparently awful candidate ever to run for public office in the history of our once great nation on two separate occasions. It is an almost impressive display of long term ineptitude.

You might want to get out of this liberal bubble occasionally Bob, and read the MSM you hate so much. It will give you some insight to what is going on.

You are correct. But we didn’t have much help from Dearborn.

I'm just a kid who grew up in rural Appalachia who remembers washing clothes in a creek with my grandmother. I attended Hazelwood Elementary School, Waynesville Junior High, Tuscola High School and a few state schools and earned degrees that are rooted in my upbringing and the people who shaped me.

but, please, explain to me why I should listen to the pointy-headed, intellectual elitists in the corporate media who clearly know more about 'right and wrong' than I do and why I should understand where republican/libertarians are coming from, in terms of crime, corruption, rape, moral and ethical deprivation.

On second thought, you shouldn’t. Enjoy the next four years.

as I've been saying, I'm an upper middle class white guy - I'll be fine.

I'm just stricken with the empathy gene who closely identifies with the more marginalized members of our society. So I'll never get/understand the republican/libertarian and mainstream media commitment to crime, corruption, moral and ethical depravity.

but, I'll move forward as I've always done and keep working with folks less fortunate than I am.

You as well. Using your philosophy of courting bush era neo-cons instead of progressives got her about 12 million less votes than her boss against the same opponent.

Progressives fail every election. They talk shit but never deliver at the national level. Biden won BECAUSE he was moderate. Bernie and Warren couldn’t even win the nomination. Twice. Harris the Progressive just lost. I honestly hope AOC is the Democratic nominee next time. It is time for libs like her to shit or get off the pot.

Biden won because Covid/child separation/BLM/etc. Not because he was "moderate". All the horrors of the first Trump admin were fresh in people's minds. 4 years is plenty of time to forget those horrors. But the reminders will be coming fast and furious very soon.

And he still had what was left of that Obama smell.

People voted what they believe are their pocket books. Only the weirdos care about gender id issues
