Circle jerk of virtue signaling Pander Bears. An elbow thrown in from time to time so the Alphas could get more eucalyptus leaves.

It is the overall lack of reality that scares the living daylights out of me. These asshats live in a fantasy land where everything is black n white!

The problem is not even in the policy positions they stake out. The problem is their hopeless dependence on fantastical idealism. They honestly believe in what they're saying like Miss American Contestants used to believe it when they said they want world peace. Yeah, okay. Great. World peace would be good. But, how are you going to do it AND maintain sovereignty of countries? Or, let's go global with it? Where are the lines drawn? What is Iran going to do when our new world order says they can't continue to violate human rights? What are bad people going to do with laws that say they can't be bad people? Oh yeah, the ignore it. Bad people hold world peace in their hands--not good people. What good people hold is violence of the threat of violence, and that's not going away under ANY system. This is what the left can't accept. They're done dealing with reality. They're ready to stick tape over the whole thing and label it Utopia and pretend like it's Utopia. This culture war is first and foremost. That's what they were all talking about. At that level, the whole thing gets really simple. You're on this side or you're on that side. That's why those fools get up there and say ridiculous things and the crowd applauds like it has meaning, not even considering that they're up there selling fantasy. None of this is politics. Politics are down the road. Whoever wins the culture war will see their worldview trickle into policy. That process was already happening. Trump voters disrupted what was happening, but who will Trump voters vote for next? He's the only one that even remotely looks like he's working for what we want. Anybody else on the scene currently will cede ground back to the Globalists.

True, but this is not atypical in primaries. Both parties' primary candidates target their bases. To your point, what is amazing is how far Left the Democrats must go to pander to their now Leftist base.

B. H. Obama called it " the fudamental transformation of the United States of America". A process the modern democrat party is wedded to. It means a demographic transformation. A governmental transformation. An economic transformation and a redefinition of individual rights by negating the Constitutional protections of the bill of rights. Open borders, socialist giveaways, confiscatory taxes all crowned with a putrid set of rigged human rights and international controls that eliminates our constitutional individual liberties.

This process is nearly half complete with a deep state so entrenched that our highest court will not allow us to ask about citizenship when accessing representation in the federal legislature. Meaning that alien invaders have the same weight and right to a vote in congress as a native or naturalized citizen. At some sad point this will not be tolerable and Patriots will have to rise up to protect the Constitution and true citizens. This is what the democrat party is working towards and they and it sicken me!

I thought it was strikingly ironic watching Rachel Maddow make the case for charging a president after his term, just as the investigation into Obama is winding up.
It’s almost like Trump uses some mind trick to have them sweep his path before he walks all over them.

It seems these politicians have been in government for a years and now saying what problems we have and will address with government control and unions leading to socialism, but with time in office have not addressed or solved any problems.

I seriously can't see any Democrat winning at all; and what's worse is as each of them lurches left of Looney Toons there's no way they'll ever be able to rescind such radical statements. They've essentially taken themselves out of consideration for 2024 with their drunken promises. I'm confident in at least 2 more Republican terms. Three if a star ascends...someone like Mark Meadows or Jim Jordan or Nikki Haley. But also, I'd like to see Condoleeza Rice, Charlie Kirk, or Candace Owens jockey for position.

It just seems the Republicans have more adults in their tent.

@JimbobNE Crazier the Democrats gets, the more moderate votes they are going to lose. And I don't think they can reliably get those juicy minorities vote anymore because:

-Asians are mad that the left is openly discriminating agains them in academia and in the working force in the name of "social justice".
-Blacks are becoming more and more aware that the ghettos they are living in are all ruled by the democrats.
-Latinos legal immigrants don't want illegals to skip the rank and get all the benefice that they worked so hard to obtain.
-And most of all, many immigrants know how precious and great the US is and do not want it to become a third world socialist shithole.

This doesn't mean that they will vote republican, but you only need a few disenchanted moderates lefties who decide to stay home to tip the balance in Trump's favor.

I can't figure out if the far left agenda appears to be on the brink of winning this time or if they know that the next election it will sound more moderate and reasonable. The left knows if they push the agenda hard enough, enough Americans to make it reality will eventually materialize. Trump lost the popular election last time and his harsh rhetoric may make just enough people in just the right states to vote for the most popular marxists. Everyone on the right seems to think the good economy is gonna give Trump the victory, but it is very close and just like 2016 nobody should take anything for granted. Google has been working since 2016 to make sure trump loses. Watch out, 2020 will be scary until the winner is declared.

My middle finger leans to the left

I admire everyone who can stand watching that virtue signalling bunch of one uppers without irking. Not a smidgen of respect between em. Not even to let eachother finish talking.

There was literally zero surprise in my humble opinion.

Why are they assuming that the majority of this country is going to support extreme left ideology?

U.S. voters are too intelligent to give control of government to the Democrats while they continue to pursue their regressive leftist goals. Until the Dems re-embrace classical liberalism, DJT and the GOP will be chosen as the lesser of the evils.

My ears perked when I heard Tulsi Gabbard speak. For me, she was the outstanding one. Apparently the same was true for Google Searchers. She’s the Democrat’s saving grace. The Democrats should revisit grace. Comparing her to her opponents is injustice to her! Any ten minutes of her Joe Rogan interview is gold. I picture her Democrat colleagues doing their best to silence her. If Trump is re-elected, it would do us well if he (effectively) enrolls Gabard in that 2020 administration. She’s worth keeping around.

There are hopeful signs, I think that more and more centrist/moderate/apolitical peoples is starting to see just how crazy the Democratic party have become and their crazy messages during the debate will only confirm this view.

Did you notice how Harris is in the center of the photo? Any significance?

Lmao when Tim Ryan basically insinuated that the Taliban did 9/11 I fell out of my chair laughing

Feel free to tell me to fk off because I am a foreign scum and all that, but it seems to me that ordinary hard-working people not just in the US, but also Australia and the UK, really need to reconsider the way the power is allocated and representatives voted in, i.e. how the whole system is set up.

Something is very wrong here; it seems to me that with every election we are all much worse off, no matter who is voted in, and those who own us are much better off.

With every election, we are just more divided and more miserable.

I won't resort to any Latin proverbs here or theories of how those in power rule, but if an ordinary person thinks that choosing a Democrat or a Republican, a Liberal or Conservative, Labor or whatever else will somehow make his/her life better, then that ordinary person is deluded.

I also won't resort to any newer quotes about definitions of insanity and correlation between doing same things and expecting different results, and here I might be in the minority, but I do think the whole political system is rotten.

Put them all in wooden shacks until they shut up and protect our rights.

Reminiscent of the Hunger Games.
