    Demonstrating Overheals point above, inspiring video here, could reassure some of the more reasonable GOP supporters that it is time to dump Trump.

    Yep - I should mention that the DNC has also courted the McCain wing of the GOP party. Probably the Romneys also.

    the Dems are not a left wing party. i have no idea what you think you are doing by repeating it.

    Of course they are left wing ,all liberal parties are.

    Perhaps you meant to say that they are not far left wing ?

    People are trying to say AOC doesn't endorse Biden.

    It takes a very special misunderstanding of what happened at the convention to conclude that. 2 people each officially nominate the candidates who filed the paperwork for nomination - Joe Biden, and Bernie Sanders. She was one of the 2 people to formally introduce the nomination for Bernie. The delegate roll call also counted the amount of delegates that Bernie Sanders received.

    Here's the full roll call - you can see AOC's Bernie nomination therein. If you watch the whole thing you will see a whole lot, including the most bizarre plug for fried calamari I have ever seen in my life



    Skip to 31:45 for the calamari. AOC is the 2nd person to speak in the video after the chairman.

    DNC crushed it with the roll call.

    The Liberal Democrats weren't left wing.

    In that case I suggest you read a book on politics.

    They are centre to centre left,they certainly aren't right wing.

    It does however show the republicans to be closer to far right than centre right or even right wing, which is what many have been saying for a while now.

    CONPLAN 3501-08 already exists to allow the Military to augment the postal service during a crisis, it is only inaction from POTUS and SecDef for why it is not activated. This would certainly clear out any postal backlog and ensure the speedy delivery of lawful ballots.

    the GOP are right wing but nowhere near far right. the Dems are centre right by European standards but Obama started the shift from left of centre to left by American standards and being solidly left is the ticket that Hillary ran on and Biden will continue to run on. The far left (us standards) / moderate left (Europe standards) section like AOC and Bernie have certainly gained traction and the party has moved increasingly left to keep those votes in the centre.

    Lumping moderate right policies and actions into the 'far right' is probably the most dangerous thing to do in politics, it gives the actual far right an avenue to creep up.

    From the same link shared above to call Democrats Left Wing:

    I am literally repeating what the article Mister Anarchy linked to said.

    Now back to the fake news article you posted of the video opposition to Susan B Anthony's pardoning being in opposition to Trump (when it was actually from Nov 2018), were you duped by that or just intentionally spreading something you knew to be false?

    Trump isnt a typical Republican though ,his policies are much more central.

    very true, much less interested in war and god than other republicans.

    the video was finding historic racism and holding it to modern standards, I failed to see it was an earlier timestamp.

    Susan B Anthony was and is still a hero of womens rights in America. That video and other posts asserting her as a racist are only re-occuring now because of who pardoned her. That video is fake news, along with most of 'nowthis' shock value anti trump content.

    How is it fake? Everything thing in it is true. The #IMPOTUS pardoning her was just a dogwhistle, laughable with his assault on voting rights (and the census FFS, he even blurted something about redistricting recently)

    the video was nothing to do with trump. can you at least admit that?

    Trump cancel culture.
    Imagine any other president calling for a boycott of a huge American company.

    His complaint is that they have banned MAGA hats , but a BLM or Pride t-shirt etc is still ok.

    The Goodyear position is - Supporting Social Justice issues ok , explicit support for a specific Politician or Party , not ok.

    What he doesn't say is that equally someone can't wear a BIDEN 2020 t-shirt either.

    And just like that, trump supporters are filling Goodyear’s media pages with vitriol.

    “Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is an American tire manufacturing company founded in 1898 and based in Akron,Ohio. They employ about 69,000 people including at least a thousand veterans.”

    Is Ohio a swing state?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,101 ✭✭✭✭Leroy42


    He did the same with Harley Davidson at the start of his term.

    It completely exposes he line that he is all about MAGA and America 1st.

    He is only interested in Trump 1st.

    sort of but not one of the really close ones.

    It is, and it's where Gym Jordan hails from. Not his district, though, Akron.
