Soylent's Democrat Flea Circus

Journal by fustakrakich

Watch them wrassle a pair of siamese elephants

Still too close to call...

QOTD:

...Gabbard won by not being there. The dog and pony show conducted by corporate news has adult political aspirants panting like sixth graders for teachers attention. Demeaning to all involved.

Extremely so... Looked like they were begging permission to go to the bathroom.

This has to be part of the Trump campaign. He has them doing a Keystone Cops routine, shooting at each other. What a scene!

Big 501(c) scam, all of this

    If you're not voting Sanders or Warren

    Or Trump. Third party all the way! Sorry, I consider these candidates among the worst that the Democrat Party has to offer this year - huge spending programs with hazy schemes for paying those off. Very Trumpian, if you ask me. And of course, if Congress doesn't play ball and give them what they want, they'll executive order their way out of the bag. Not a clue between them.

    Just boggles the mind how "Americans" don't see the clear fascism on display between Trump and Fox.

    So what? Show it's a problem first. Biased media has been around for centuries. We've figured out how to deal with it.

    You don't get it, there is plenty of very real fascism. Currently it gets wrapped into "corruption" since officially the fascism is mostly illegal. Mostly.

    Civil asset forfeiture, corporate lobbying, targeted harassment of minorities, systemic racism of all sorts.

    Taxes would go up a bit, society would improve, and corporate subsidies would mostly be eliminated. It is very simple to pay for the programs, just selfish assholes like you prefer the rich being able to rob the poor. Literally.

      I remember when that word, "fascism" used to mean something.

      Currently it gets wrapped into "corruption"

      For a good example.
