2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI just did my part to run those Confederates out of the State of Georgia
Hopefully this vote stops the bleeding until we can REALLY get progress going in this state.
Know this everybody.
Everything you want out of this government ain't NEVER gonna happen UNTIL the Republican Party is DESTROYED.
The Southern Confederacy is the command center of all the Regression this country has always dealt with.
This Southern Confederacy is the ROOT of all what's wrong in this country.
These Yosemite Sams walking around here talking about "gun rights".
All the Xenophobia expressed in Ferguson, Missouri & Sanford, Florida with the Militarization of Police & Self-Appointed Vigilantes (George Zimmerman).
All that mess with Cliven Bundy in Nevada with his militia boys.
All the blockage of Gay Rights, Women's Rights, Labor Rights.
All the resistance to keeping Church & State separate.
All the Thirst for Never-Ending Wars of Conquest.
All the blockage of Universal Health Care.
Everything you can think of & THEN some, it all stems from the Southern Confederacy.
They used to be the embodiment of the Democratic Party until certain Democrats desegregated the Military (Truman for Frank Roosevelt, 1948) & ended Jim Crow (Johnson for Kennedy, 1964/1965).
Ever since these changes this contingent has IRONICALLY taken shelter under the party which once fought against these Confederates 150 years ago.
The Republican Party was desperate for numbers, desperate for voting blocks & took in these lowlifes a half century ago.
For that decision & the resulting aftermath of that decision, they must be DESTROYED.
Once the Republican Party is destroyed, the Confederates will have no viable political body to organize under anymore.
Without that organization, they won't be able to influence policy in this country anymore.
ONLY THEN will you see any reasonable chance for real progress in this country.
The Confederacy has NEVER believed in the UNITED States from the very beginning!
Since the 1770s! NEVER.
They only begrudgingly cooperated due to numerous compromises that let them continue their exploitative ways.
The biggest mistake this country ever made was not finishing the job once they defeated them.
And since then like mold they fester & grow.
We have a chance to defeat them starting today.
I did my part. How about you?

Love debating his lack of facts.

(1,250 posts)They're scared & you don't win fights when you're scared.
We put our all behind Obama in 2008 & I was hoping beyond hope that he could put some bite into this sorry party.
That didn't quite happen & we had to squeeze out what little bit we could get (Affordable Care Act).
We tried again in 2012 hoping Obama could reignite that spark.
Maybe just maybe this time we can get back to the promise of 2008.
And then that didn't quite happen either.
So he's weak & the party stays weak & we get these results today.
No heart. No courage. No conviction. No strength.
Now they're gonna try to impeach him & stonewall him & reverse what little progress we got out of the past 6 years.
The end result? 2016, your President is Jeb Bush, brother of Dubya.
By that time the Republican Party should have been ready for the Smithsonian.
But the Democrats in all their weakness made sure to waste this golden opportunity at every turn.
Oh well.
Shoulder shrug.
Time to find something that works 'cause this outfit just ain't cuttin' it.

(1,250 posts)It's time for the people who want to make the world a better place to strongarm these useless jabronies out of this political body called the Democratic Party.
Time to purge the weaklings.
No compromise. It's time to take over this thing wholesale.
UNDERGROUND over DEMOCRATIC.
Time for the cheerleaders to take a backseat while the lone wolves fix this machine.
The Democratic label does not matter.
A strong fierce fighter is what matters.
It might have to be torn down to rebuilt back up but it must be done.
You don't have a chance in 2016 with the Democratic Party as you know it today.
We need somebody who is committed to the ANNIHILATION of the Republican Machine & nobody else.
Then & ONLY then will we have a chance.

(1,250 posts)Obama & the Democrats have wasted their chance to change this country permanently.
Too much milquetoast & half-measure nonsense.
Now those jackasses have them right where they want them.
And we're all gonna suffer for it.
2014 was the opportunity to finish these guys & this weak party wasted it.
Can't get people enthused to come out to the polls when you keep coming off as weaksauce.
Get ready for endless impeachment hearings & war lust & the erosion of what little good we have left.
You had your chance, Barack.
2008. You coulda REALLY ended the Confederacy.
By 2012, they should have been barreling to the exit.
By 2016, their implosions would have been there for all to see.
Now, these fools will bring us to an era EVEN WORSE than George W. Bush.
Yes. WORSE.
But hey I did my part.
Too bad the Democratic Party didn't do theirs.
