What do we call this form of government? A cuntocracy?
You two are rank amateurs; when I'm banned, it's from the entire forum! None of this half-measure stuff for me :-)I have been banned and often Fog perhaps for poor humour (LOL) on many a thread even the City threads and I would strongly object to you being banned from this thread and any thread you chose to post in if your views which are always considered ( not that I concur with some ) are considered worthy of banning.
I think you put it well when you said agree to disagree or be critical of the point to put your view across and challenge the poster accordingly but if you go for the man with threats and crass and inane personal abuse you deserved to be looked at by the MODS.
We need a challenge of ideas and views no matter the political spectrum but shutting them down is pointless IMO.
if I am banned from the music threads then its time to pack it in as I reckon on a number of levels our tastes are similar.
The primary results from Georgia suggest some of Trump’s endorsees fell flat on their faces. And that fucking doorknob Cawthorn is out.The Right is veering so far afield of center one can only hope that it hurts them in upcoming elections. I heard on NPR that some Republican State has even gone so far as to introduce state legislation banning contraceptives. Amazing.
So if Trump doesn’t win the nomination because he can’t/won’t run, and it’s De Santis, do you think they run the narrative for him, and do you think he contests like Trump or abides by the outcome?As I predicted, Republicans are now busy replacing honest election officials with officials endorsing "The Big Lie."
In numerous Republican-controlled states, honest overseers of elections are being replaced by unethical officials who state that they would not have certified the 2020 Presidential Election results in favor of Biden.
Which leads me to this... there are numerous influential public figures and politicians who still cling to the Republican party... in hopes that it can be salvaged.
Really? I think the current party is beyond repair.
De Santis, IMO, is even worse than Trump. He desires power above all, like Trump, but he's a cold, calculating politician - turning on a dime to court votes. Should he lose an election, he'll explore every avenue to overturn results.So if Trump doesn’t win the nomination because he can’t/won’t run, and it’s De Santis, do you think they run the narrative for him, and do you think he contests like Trump or abides by the outcome?
I mean he is utter scum, but I don't know if he'd go that far . . . and I doubt he'd have a cult like Trump that would be supportive of such a move. I don't see him as as bad as Trump, who is IMO uniquely bad.De Santis, IMO, is even worse than Trump.

Success and media coverage breeds support. I think De Santis will do whatever is required to gain and to remain in power.I mean he is utter scum, but I don't know if he'd go that far . . . and I doubt he'd have a cult like Trump that would be supportive of such a move.

This disappoints me as you have some conviction and you express it without offending and in my case while some of your posts are with respect a tad naive that's no valid reason to ban you from posting.You two are rank amateurs; when I'm banned, it's from the entire forum! None of this half-measure stuff for me :-)
I was banned mostly from posts made in other Bluemoon forums - try, for example, stating anything positive about Liverpool - for example that Jurgen Klopp is a top manager - and you're fucked. Or posting in defense of LGBGQ rights in any forum other than this. Again you're fucked.This disappoints me as you have some conviction and you express it without offending and in my case while some of your posts are with respect a tad naive that's no valid reason to ban you from posting.
All politicians do.De Santis, IMO, is even worse than Trump. He desires power above all,
Can you give an example of him turning to court votes. I'm not saying you are writing. Just wondering what constitutes 'turning'like Trump, but he's a cold, calculating politician - turning on a dime to court votes.
What if he wins :)Should he lose an election, he'll explore every avenue to overturn results.
You mean the Party is not a Trump cult like you told us it was? Shocking!!!The primary results from Georgia suggest some of Trump’s endorsees fell flat on their faces. And that fucking doorknob Cawthorn is out.
There is hope. Not much but a little.
It is not a Trump cult per se - it's a cult of extremist, unreasoning beliefs regardless of logic, in support of extreme Right wing positions, to the extent that the Right in America no longer believe in Democracy.You mean the Party is not a Trump cult like you told us it was? Shocking!!!
Why is he utter scum?I mean he is utter scum, but I don't know if he'd go that far . . . and I doubt he'd have a cult like Trump that would be supportive of such a move. I don't see him as as bad as Trump, who is IMO uniquely bad.
Why are you defending ultra-right politicians?Why is he utter scum?
Does he smell little girls hair? Get unnecessary close to women in photos. Make inappropriate comments about children? What exactly is it that warrants this 'scum' appellation.
Wait, perhaps he gives eulogies at the funerals of KKK members? Or perhaps he reminisces about the good old days jocking and jiving with avowed Racists. Oh wait... That's all Biden... Funny I've never seen a post of yours calling him scum.
SO whatever it is that Desantis is doing, certainly is worse than any of the above right?????
Because I don't believe Democrats winning is what defines Democracy. Doesn't mean I don't believe in Democracy. Desantis won fair and square in Florida. What about that is undemocratic.It is not a Trump cult per se - it's a cult of extremist, unreasoning beliefs regardless of logic, in support of extreme Right wing positions, to the extent that the Right in America no longer believe in Democracy.
Should you, Dax, actually believe in Democracy (which I actually think that you do) - then it's beyond me why you would continue to support/defend Republicans.
I believe in the vote too.Because I don't believe Democrats winning is what defines Democracy. Doesn't mean I don't believe in Democracy. Desantis won fair and square in Florida. What about that is undemocratic.
Labels arenr useful. They are simply a cudgel used to beat back legitimate opposition. What Ultra Right Wing simply means a Racist. I.e a race essentialist of the White Racist type.Why are you defending ultra-right politicians?
FFS! How long are you gonna milk that? Who gives a fuck what Trump thinks about his lost election. We are talking about 2024.I get that you favor conservative policies - but are you really on board with "The Big Lie" and all that this implies? I suspect that you are not on board - as you claim not to have voted for Trump in 2020.
Evidence. Provide evidence?????The current crop of Republicans are fascists by-in-large. They don't believe in Democracy at all.
1. You need evidence not left leaning claims. Again I'll repeat Georgia is having a record turnout of voters despite all the 'suppression fear mongering" that went on all through the last two years. Including Black turn out.And they're busy making sure that votes don't matter - appointing election officials who publicly state that they would not have certified the 2020 election results in favor of Biden in spite of absolutely no evidence of fraud.
Historically speaking, Democrats have been the ones who more often than not challenged the legitimacy of elections.I believe in the vote too.
That's Democracy.
Republicans, writ large, do not believe in Democracy. They believe that any result not in their favor is obviously wrong - and must be over-turned.
Cowards? You know what's cowardly, being a clueless follower of what's trendy. There is no 'Big Lie.' Politicians, have been denying losing elections for ages. The rest of us just move on and let them stew in their idiocy.This is the "Big Lie." You, unfortunately, are part of the Lie - as you do nothing whatsoever to oppose this horrid viewpoint. Fucking Nazi's are about to take over America - in no small part due to the likes of cowards/sheep like you who won't oppose what's obviously going on.
Mississippi governor Tate Reeves is considering doing exactly that.The Right is veering so far afield of center one can only hope that it hurts them in upcoming elections. I heard on NPR that some Republican State has even gone so far as to introduce state legislation banning contraceptives. Amazing.
