So, a far-left Democrat thinks that the Republican party should be completely marginalized.

Now this is truly news, folks. When have we ever heard this before?

Your hyperbole is touching, though.

Pubs? Bill Kristol, Bret Stephens, Ana Navaro, Jeff Flake, John McCain Lindsey Graham "pubs"?



None of those above-listed cretins is any more conservative than the most left-wing of radicals.



The blood thirsty warmongers that have went on their new crusade this last week for Syria is perfect evidence for that. Strange how "republicans" and democrats align so quickly, when it serves their masters global agenda, isn't it?

...or we can all wait until more Republicans follow Paul Ryan out the door. Many others will get their butts kicked in November. Perhaps they can seek employment at the Heritage Foundation or the Hoover Institute where they can be regarded as rwnj wizards!

Yup!

They're all Pubs.

And you don't get to define what a Pub is.

No...YOU don't get to RE-DEFINE the definition of conservative to fit your left-wing abortion, gay-marriage, globalist open-borders agenda.


How about that?



Just so you know: "republicans" and conservatives are entirely different creatures.

Well, geez, that was obvious to me at least ten years ago due to the obvious liberal agenda. I'd imagine its been obvious to many for decades.

Translation: the Republican Party doesn't "rule for billionaires", at least any more than the Dems. And likely less when the sum of social effects of Dem politics likely better helps the bottom line of billionaires. Funny how propaganda eventually always reveals itself as false.

Just read the article. What a bunch of context free self soothing drivel.

And the author is definitely threatening civil war. Here alone:

Quote:
This is a civil war that can be won without firing a shot. But...
Translation: it can be won without firing a shot, but we may get to firing a shot.

To reach democrat goals. In other words, they don't see this as a democracy, but as a win at all costs situation that democracy is a roadblock to.

That's fine.

But the author is leaving out vastly pertinent data. Like the fact that California largely went "supermajority" because of illegal immigration and anchor babies. Most states don't have such a concern. Moreover, the start of the brain drain in California has begun in silicon valley, due to the fact that its a ****ty place to live for anyone but immigrants who are brought in to undercut the labor market and militant (physically violent) liberal militias who physically suppress dissent. Yes, fighting for the worker and against the billionaires indeed. The entire article is filled with this type of delusional propaganda that liberals soothe themselves with. As such, its really not worth deconstructing. It sounds scared and desperate more than anything.

The voting base absolutely gets to define who they consider to be ideologically legitimate and not.

Do you get to define who meets your standards as a progressive?

Rhetorical question. I don't really see you as a competent debater, and so you can hold your response if its easier for you. Though, you can also try to marshal a response. No matter.

My reading of it, too.

Why are some people jumping to a conclusion that the Twitter CEO is advocating for a "Civil War"? I think that says more about the people that come to that conclusion more than anything...is war always on their mind?
