She obviously misses the point that in a "police state," she could not publish this kind of a rant.

[Mik]

She should be in jail for her threats against the mayor at his home.

“Let’s have a national conversation about how much of a evil bigot you are, and how all of your thoughts, words, and deeds is rooted in sexist racist extremism, and any effort to rebut, defend, or counter me is proof of your intolerant hate, which is just one thing you must change."

"She threatens to seize control of the Fortune 500 and overthrow the "racist, sexist, violent, utterly bankrupt system of capitalism."

And you're worried that these jamokes will endure???

Yes, because there will be uninformed people who will tell us we are silly for thinking these people are a threat...

So when does Bezos become a conservative?

Jon implied that in his "last time I pull a lever for a Democrat" comment in another thread.

[Larry]

Jon said that??? This I gotta see for myself!!!

I sometimes wonder to what degree was his wapo purchase a preemptive defense against the leftist mob.

@George-K If idiots like this girl had ever had a chance of prevailing, we would never have made it as far as we have.

You think Wall Street wouldn't have something to say about this? Only the braindead could imagine such an ambition with the remotest chance of success. At best their progress would come to a screeching halt when the Jack Daniels started disappearing from the shelves.

[Horace]

You are watching a steady decades long rise and normalization of left wing nuttery and pointing to an important politician’s voicing of it to a national audience and claiming that there is just no way it could ever catch on.

Five years ago the Left was denying they were Socialists. If you said they were you were laughed at and told you were silly to think that would ever happen. HERE we are just 5 years later, the Left is now openly embracing Socialism, and a few uninformed people want me to shut up about the progression into Communism. Shoving ones head in the sand makes one blind.

[Catseye3]

Fine. Maybe y'all are right. Maybe the fraction of the 300-some-odd million people who are venture capitalists and entrepreneurs and other prime movers, will just sit with their thumbs up their asses and go, "Welp, I guess we're screwed now! It was fun while it lasted!"

[Larry]

Jesus.

Those people’s publicly espoused politics have been hard left for quite some time now.

@Catseye3 4 years ago Bernie Sanders was essentially cheated out of the nomination by “establishment” democrats, and the socialist wing still made significant gains in representation in AOC and her friends. This year, it took a last minute all hands on deck come to Jesus moment to bring together all of the “establishment” democrats to rally behind Joe and even that may have failed if he would have had to keep campaigning against Bernie. Frankly, if Bernie was to come back and run as an independent, I think he would now beat Joe, but would likely toss the election to Trump, so I don’t think it will happen. The Democrat party is dying right before our eyes. Unfortunately, so is the Republican...

Nah, Hillary won the Democratic primary of 2016 by getting more votes, more than Bernie, more than any other candidate.

"The Democrat party is dying right before our eyes. Unfortunately, so is the Republican..."

I agree.

Both suffer from a similar malaise; their respective membership and base are divided against themselves. The Democrats have been dying their slow death since the 1970's. The terminal illness of the Republicans is more recent only becoming apparent during the post Reagan era and corresponding to the influence of strategists like the late Lee Atwater and legislators such as Newt Gingrich.

It won't really matter in the long run, the Trump era will fade and a new Republican movement will arise and prevail. It will have broad appeal and command almost total support.

One has to be 7 kinds of a fool to believe that.
