They'd rather believe that than believe one of their's finally blew a gasket, and that the President incites violence.

Tell one lie, you can be called out as a liar. Tell a thousand lies, and no one has time to call you for last week's dozen before you've changed the conversation with the next dozen.

It almost feels like there's nothing you can do about it.

But there is. GO FUCKING VOTE!

but a democratic senator 25 years ago said that enforcing borders is important!

"GO FUCKING VOTE"

Sure. Do that, no disagreement there.

As for Nominal's driveby remark, this is part of the current democrat 'immigration reform' wording.

"Democrats will continue to work toward comprehensive immigration reform that fixes our nation’s broken immigration system, improves border security, prioritizes enforcement so we are targeting criminals – not families, keeps families together, and strengthens our economy."

https://democrats.org/issues/immigration-reform/

So you don't have to go back a quarter century to find out that the democrats are pro-border-enforcement, it's literally the party line.

and that's before you get to the (D) "centrists" who've voted in favour of much of Trump's hellishly-dumb anti-migrant policies, up to and including his idiot wall.

e.g. https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/kyrsten-sinemas-voting-record -immigration-refugees-health-care-ada-9682545

Anyway, looks like the bomber is a florida boomer MAGA chud, which should surprise absolutely no one.

Bawbag, the reply to ‘Go Vote!’ is not ‘Sure, whatever, now let me go back to dredging up everything I can find to turn liberals against each other.’ Fuck that. You can bitch about that in a month; right now you can eat shit. We need to spread courage and vote!

"let me go back to dredging up everything I can find to turn liberals against each other."

This is the dumbest take on what was written above, goddamn get your fucking vote over with already you shrill expat cunt.

People like bawbag are the kind of effective force for republicans that James O'Keefe can only hope to be.

LOL yeah it's my fault you Americans are too fucking stupid to have an electoral system that isn't a complete shambles that a con-artist like Trump can game his way to the top job.

Thanks!

All 20-30 people who read massive 2018 internet phenomenon poetv.com are for sure being conditioned by my extremely left-wing political posts to 'vote republican'!!

Looking forward to my Koch bros cheque after the midterms!

Bawbag can eat shit. GO VOTE!

Bawbag's a weird fucking racist apologist, who cares what he thinks?

""""who cares if thats what nonwhites go through"""""""

gmork the actual racist in 2018

Succeeding Aaron Burr as VP was always a bad idea.

They dropped a bomb on (him), baby

Unfortunately I doubt if that hypothesis will stand up to the test. Trump is just the hate-child homunculus of the right-wing circle jerk-off; a cyst that bubbled up as soon as our defenses were down. But the virulence has been simmering under the surface for awhile -- thanks in part to lowered standards of education paired with easy access to bias-confirming, paranoid (mis)information and people on both sides devolving into polarized caricatures.

We are truly in an info war, so now is the time for all good verbal/visual communicators to come to the aid of their country...

Yeah, I'm with Ugh's sarcasm here. The pendulum has swung very far, and it is unlikely to come to a sudden stand-still.

Absolute best case is Democrats gaining a very slim majority in the house. I predict either the senate is going to remain the same or republicans will gain a seat or two (most likely in North Dakota, Ohio, or Wisconsin).

The "blue wave" was hype for the fundraising machine. We've hit a critical point in hip to be cynical voter apathy. I have no confidence in progressives getting out the vote in 2 weeks.

Here's a better explanation of why we're fucked.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-congressional-map-is- historically-biased-toward-the-gop/

A not unrealistic chance that democrats could lose FIVE senate seats next month, and terrible long term odds that they can recapture a large majority.

The best thing we can do is forget about speculation and go vote ourselves. When all hope is lost then it’s most important to fight, because it might just be hiding!

Or think of it this way: the year is 1950. By every possible sign official segregation is going to last another thousand years, the new suburbs are going to force ever more exclusive conservatism, and McCarthy is leading the States into a reign of terror likely to end in niclear war. Well if you gave up hope and hung yourself then and there you’d have missed out on early cultural flowering like the Beatniks, Rosa Parks on the bus in 55, Civil Rights marches, anti-war protests and the incredible cultural flowering of the 60s.

Keep hope. And if you’re American the first political act of hope, love, and defiance is voting. It’s our version of communion wafers: even if not very physically effective it binds us together and encourages the soul.

Oh wow, hope and change, really inspiring stuff! Sounds vaguely familiar...

Oh that's right, the deporter-in-chief, that president who bombed 7 countries to GWB's 4!

Halcyon days, go vote everyone!

Rosa Parks would have wanted it this way!

The very fact that you can't see how fucking despicable using the black american struggle for civil rights in this way is, well that is a huge part of the problem with your average dem voter, dem candidate and the establishment itself, you will never learn.

Oh I'm definitely going out to vote and trying to encourage everyone I know to do the same. I went to vote even in the 2010 midterms when I was still registered at my hometown 60 miles away, hopped into the car right after work to drive there and back (mostly because there was a ballot question about cutting taxes that some smug Randian cunt was pushing).

I just don't see things getting better. Since 1950, we've had a crippling debt that's going to go off soon, the most partisan scorched-earth republican party ever that's entrenching itself with dirty tricks, and the most successful propaganda machine ever devising to keep them there.

"I just don't see things getting better."

On this we agree.

This is a solid reality to anyone over the age of 30, who has by now seen it multiple times, but still we insist on playing the same rigged game(s) because what else is there?

Anyway, fuck this, I'm putting bad blood and my usual schtick aside here nominal I actually hope you guys get a decent result this time, even if I think the dems aren't going to fix (or up to the task of fixing) the rotten system.

As an early christmas gift to all of you, I'm making this my last post here.

Later poetv, it's been a very long time xoxo

peace out bawbag

Stars for Hazelnut.

bawbag slowly turning into waugh

bluh, garrison makes my lizard brain howl in pain and i can't quite pinpoint why

it's not even the insane message, i think it's probably the sheer amount of precum he spills on the floor between breaths

whoa!

I honestly thought it was one of those Kelly political cartoons from The Onion it was so ridiculous.

"I guess he stopped using the crying statue of liberty."

And he's one of those "Pictures of people I'm praying for on my van" guys.

Of course they will - as you know, their credo is "right=good, left=bad".

And it's not that I agree with the Left on every issue, but what's infuriating is the transformation of the political arena into an "us vs. them" playground brawl where lying, namecalling and other disingenuous tactics count more than facts, logic, and analysis.
