Deal With It: Which Side Are You On?

Which Side Are You On?

[riversedge]

1. k and r.

[Kalidurga]

2. I am on the side that will fight for those that have to work for a living.

So, that would be the 99%.

[malaise]

3. It's that simple WillyT

so I'll be holding on to my ideological purity and not selling out the working class, middle class and those who can't work.

[hobbit709]

4. I'm not on the side of the 1% or any of their ass kissers.

And that includes any DINOs no matter how many supporters those DINOs have here.

[woo me with science]

20. +1000000 The Third Way is a corporate infiltration.

So is its propaganda machine.

[hobbit709]

5. Kick.

[UglyGreed]

6. RIP my good man

rest in peace

[MrMickeysMom]

7. It's pretty amazing who's side is represented in Washington, D.C., WillyT...

And it's hard to tell the difference within the United States Congress.

[baldguy]

8. Either vote for Democrats, or allow Republicans to win.

To people who claim to be liberals, yet spend their time & energy doing nothing but trash Democrats, Democratic candidates & the Democratic party: Which Side Are You On?

[hobbit709]

11. I wonder which side YOU are on.

Since you are constantly bashing those of us who believe in the ideals of the Democratic party of supporting the working class.

[baldguy]

12. I'm going to vote for the Democratic nominee for President in 2016.

To ensure the defeat of the Republicans. Can you say the same? I doubt it. You're ready & eager to hand over half the party to the GOP.

[hobbit709]

13. I may have to hold my nose, carry a barf bag and clench the stylus with my teeth but I'm voting D

But I'm not as eager to hand the other half of the party to the corporations as you seem to be.

[baldguy]

14. Why do you think the minority party has been so successful in maintaining power of of these years?

Yours is exactly the type of attitude that the GOP capitalizes on. President Cruz thanks you for your support. He couldn't have done it without you.

[hobbit709]

15. What I really want to say in my response would get this hidden

So I'll be polite "SHOVE IT".
I was never a blind follower even 45 years ago in the Air Force and I'm certainly not now.

[baldguy]

16. You're only confirming my suspicions further.

So quick to lob accusations, but when challenged with facts you go all "doth protesting too much" on us.

[hobbit709]

17. Goody, goody, gumdrops! You've confirmed my suspicions about you a long time ago.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

28. Whereas you're ready and willing to have the party simply take over GOP ideology

in the name of 'winning!!!'. Here's a hint. If 'winning!' means turning into the evils you supposedly oppose, you're not winning.

I'd say you're trying to ensure the victory of Republican ideology, by making sure that no matter who 'wins', both parties support the rich and corporations against the rest of us.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

23. +1

[840high]

26. I'm on the side of my

father's old democrats. Our present democrats leave me cold.

[TBF]

9. Solidarity

English Internationale (with lyrics)

[LWolf]

10. I was born on, and raised on, and have lived my life on,

Pete Seeger's side, lol. I've been listening to him since I was in the womb, and have loved him all of my 54 years.

When it comes to labor, I'm always on the side of labor.

[Octafish]

18. Integrity

Since the invention of money, a concept growing ever more alien with each passing day.

[woo me with science]

19. Absolutely it's that simple.

Always watch the policies being defended.

The policies.

Thank you.

[Andy823]

21. The side

That wants to go ahead, not backwards. The side that want to make damn sure we get a democrat in the WH come 2016 to appoint new justices to the SC. The side that will continue to help "all" of this country gain access to affordable health care no matter how long it will take. The side that will work to get things accomplished and not play the "my way or the highway" tactic that gets us nothing. The side that does not try and purge everyone who does not think the same as they do. The side that will "NOT" divide the party because they believe every member has to pass some kind of purity test in order to be a "real" liberal, progressive or democrat.

[Thinkingabout]

27. Good post, thanks

Facts do not change even though they are twisted beyond belief. Democrats will not be fooled by the likes of Rush and FOX and we will not be fooled here. In negotiating union contracts all which was ask was not given but you tried another time and did not abandon the union.

[Snarkoleptic]

22. Seeger is sorely missed.

He sure knew how to work that 12-string!

[TheKentuckian]

24. "I will fuck you over less than that guy would given the chance" is not taking my side.

It is being a less hostile enemy that is tactically forced to deal with me later when their attention can be more focused.

Hey, I understand every friend is not your best winding all the way down to associates but you get on the shit list when all you have to offer is "You see that hateful fucking dumpsterfire over there that has been trying to kill you from jump?" "I won't fuck over as much as they will so I hope I can consider you a friend".

Net negative is net negative. You can go deeper in the hole but at a certain point, it is too deep to get out of either way.

25. I'm on the side of the miners.

They were doing good and honest work, until some know-it-alls came along to tell them their work was evil, and cut the legs out from under the miners.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

29. What, you mean the guys who developed modern mining practices,

thus reducing by 90% or more the number of 'miners' needed to operate a mine?

The 'war on coal' is not a 'war on miners'. The owners of the mines already 'cut the legs out from under miners' with things like mountaintop removal.

What has been lacking, though, is a substantive jobs program from the left, to rehire on people who live in traditional coal mining areas to build wind mills, solar arrays, and other cleaner energy collectors. Society should not simply abandon workers whose jobs are lost as society evolves. They should be eased into work that society still requires.

[BKH70041]

30. Modernization is part of life.

The miners are aware of that. They're the one's using the tools.

Are you willing to go to Harlan County, KY and tell the miners that "The 'war on coal' is not a 'war on miners'"? I'm willing for you to do so. In fact, I strongly encourage you to do so, and the sooner the better. Just you and the miners; no witnesses. I'll be more willing to lend you an ear, provided you make it back. But until you take that risk....

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

31. Oh, I see, so it's me getting beat up because of a bunch of Republican lies you want?

Good to see you've swallowed the Republican message hook line and sinker.

Heck, you've internalized it so well, you're looking forward to violence, as well.

Showing which side you're on, and it's not the side of poor people of any stripe, including miners. You're supporting the Don Blankenships of America.

[BKH70041]

32. You aren't going to Harlan Co., KY, are you?

Yeah, you're on their side, but if you said the things you said to me, they wouldn't view you as being on their side and you fear they'd beat you up?

Have I got that right?

But you're on their side.
But they'd beat you up.
But you're on their side.
But they'd beat you up.

So confusing.

Something tells me people who view you as being on their side wouldn't beat you up. They would welcome you with open arms.

You need to rethink this visit to Harlan Co. You are definitely making a mistake by not going and telling them the war on coal is not a war on their jobs. I think you got them all wrong. I think they'd like to meet you. And 'like' isn't really expressive enough. I think they'd LOVE to meet you.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

33. Are you going to pay for my trip?

I've been below the poverty line for the last 4 or 5 years, and I don't know that my 20 year old pickup would even last the trip.

And YOU are the one implying they would beat me up.

Don't pretend that whole 'no witnesses' thing was anything less than an expectation of violence on YOUR part. Or that it's not on plain display in your second comment either.

And you know what? I'm sure some few of them actually believe the same Republican line of BS you're spouting. But I don't expect them to be the thugs you're accusing them of being. No matter what Glenn Beck assures you union members are like.
