"Race" is always at the forefront of a liberal's mind, as most of them are racist. However, to a lib, being called "racist" is worse than being a pedophile or axe murderer.

Dems really do not care if their community is burning, crime is rampant, and businesses are looted, as long as they feel they are not a "racist".

Dems may have reached peak insanity.

Maybe you should research what "Democratic Socialism" means because the US has some of it already.
As for supporting BLM they are supporting the main cause of police brutality and not their entire political agenda but you knew that already.

I've never voted blue in my life (I'm pushing 47) but at least back in the day I could at least agree with some of the things the democratic party was putting out. Can't agree with nothing nowadays because it's Marxism. Are new yorkers really gonna vote in for a continuation of debozo and fredo's brother next time around all because fredo told you orange man bad?

Bad jokes aside, I'm interested at taking a peak at how your leftist brains work and the reasoning for voting blue. What's your most important issue and does that issue alone swing you left? What would you like to see from your next local leader, mayor, govornor regardless of party affiliation?
I tell myself that Trump is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. My most important issue is to not have him as president again. BTW, I was a Republican until about 15 years ago. I used to think the Republican party wasn't so bad, even up through Obama. Now, I don't recognize it. Everybody lets Trump get away with everything, from the Congress to the Supreme Court. We are no longer a government with three branches. It's all the Trump branch and he is running roughshod over everybody. He's good at fooling his supporters though. I gotta give him that. They think he gives a rat's ass about them, but he's only concerned about himself.

Ah, yes. The so-called "conservative" Republicans. The party of sanity and their candidate, Donald "Bone Spurs" Trump.

I call BS. If the Republican party supported, say, a racist group solely because they also happened to support one hot-button cause unrelated to their overall mission statement, you'd ignore the racist connection?

I didn't think so.

I'm genuinely curious how you are NOT worried about Marxism. I'm also concerned about the Democrats lack of concern for the rioting and their support of BLM (with its disturbing list of policies).Can you give me any reasons to feel good about Biden-Harris?
You know what, I'm 65 years old and and I've watched folks worry about Marxism for over 55 years.

If it's going to get here, it sure is taking its sweet ass time. You'll excuse me if I find a different Boogeyman to worry about.

Tonight I'm going to tell myself "Only 58 more days until we get rid of the Suckers and Losers problem!"

Show me a person who blindly votes democrat or republican no matter what, and I'll show you a person who isn't intelligent. Look at specific candidates and their viewpoints. If they happen to be republican, vote republican. If they happen to be democrat, vote democrat. People who vote party lines, regardless of the candidate are showing their ignorance.

Sometimes, voting against an abhorrent candidate is the prudent path to take.

One who denigrates our military as "Suckers and Losers", for instance. Anyone who would vote for such a candidate certainly is on or the other or both.
