Politics Thread

[X-man]

Hilarious that "Common Man of the People" Joe Biden was propped up by $74 million dolllars in donations from Wall Street- much more than Trump.
Funny how the Elite runs to the support of the Elite. Meanwhile, the proletariat worker gets dismissed.

But Joe proclaimed: "We'll make sure Wall Street and the big earners pay their fair share!" Ha!! No, who will be paying a bigger part of their unfair share are little investors who are trying to make a buck on the stock that they bought and have to pay a much higher Capital Gains tax, not the brokers who sold them the stock.

The Wall Street elite know this, and that's why they and Biden could give a sheet about the "little guy" while they're drinking their fancy drinks in lower Manhattan bars.

At various times on this thread, you have claimed that Biden is part of the "radical left", a radical Socialist. Now he's in Wall Street's pocket??? How can he be both? Are you saying that Wall Street love radical socialists? I don't understand.

Don’t forget this part

That part actually went on for much longer than that clip, too. I watched about 1/2 of the Press Conference last night - holy moly! It really didn't look/seem real. Apparently according to Tucker Carlson they were planning to have that Syndey Powell lady in this show, but when they asked her to produce some evidence to support her claims she became angry and told them to stop contacting her.

But the best part was the hair dye running down Guiliani's cheeks while he sweated and bathed himself in his own mucus. These people are ostensibly dropping the biggest bombshell in American History - A successful plot to steel the election involving (but not limited to) Chavez's Ghost, China, and George Soros. Tens of millions of votes changed or stolen! The biggest bombshell in American history! They are doing it from what looks like a basement room in the RNC led by Rudy Giuliani who apparently can't afford sweat proof hair dye, and a couple of 3rd rate conspiracy theorist lawyers. With no evidence.

We really do seem to be sinking into a shit hole. We have too many Americans who think...

-COVID isn't real or dangerous

-The election was stolen

-Yelling at people who are eating lunch is a an acceptable and effective method of social change

-Aren't at all suspicious of a group of people who "have all this evidence!" yet when asked to produce it never do so

-Fear that socialism is a threat to our democracy, yet are more spooked by the EU than they are by Russia (this has actually puzzled me for years, BTW)

-STILL believe that Trump rigged the last election. I mean if the last two weeks have shown us anything it's that he clearly isn't capable of doing something like that. If he's this bad at stealing an election while he's president, then there is no way he stole the 2016 Election before he even became president.

-Who view political opponents as domestic terrorists to the point to where differing political opinions have ended friendships and split families apart

-Who have their views of reality shaped by social media instead of realizing that most of it is total fucking nonsense. I think the pandemic has actually made this worse because more people spend more time staring at a screen and believing more and more of the bullshit that's on it


I remember being astounded at how stupid I thought people who believed pro wrestling was real were. By comparison, that actually wasn't so bad. Some of the shit that people believe now is far less believable than pro wrestling, and at the same time is far more harmful. I've got no problems with wrestling. I don't watch it all that often, but when I do I admit that I find it to be entertaining. But that's also in large part because I understand the context of it. The bullshit that people are alllowing themselves to believe right now is going to puzzle historians for the next thousand years.

Proof? You Trumpists keep braying about this, along with all your other conspiracy theories, but have nada to support these allegations. I suppose that the deep state could include everyone but the Trumpists but at that point, the deep state becomes the majority of this country which is still (and hopefully remains in spite of Trump's best efforts) a democracy.

The proof is plain to see. Do your own research.

This country isn’t a democracy but thanks for playing.

"Plain to see"??? Sort of like Trump's fraud evidence? Generally it's a good idea to have some evidence when you level such charges. Trump's problem, and yours by extension, is that there isn't any. And as far as this country not being a democracy, only someone (Trump, and you by extension?) determined to overturn an election result by ignoring the clear voting outcome in choosing electors for the Electoral College vote is working to make that statement true. Fortunately, the corruption destroying the Republican Party seems limited to the partisans in Washington, along with you by extension. But as you like to say...Thanks for playing.

Welp, Biden DID pick the most leftist and Socialist Democratic Senator to be his running mate- the same one who supports Police Defunding, Bailing out Rioters through a Fund, the Green New Deal and Supreme Court Packing. There's that. Plus he did get ridiculous jack from Wall Street. Seems to me that either you, or he or both are the ones that talk out of both sides of their mouth and are 'confused". I have no clue what Wall Street likes, but Biden sure isn't thye common man he portrays himself to be. Doubt he'll be out there "Occupying Wall Street" anytime soon, unless its to line his pocket.
