General Discussion

(26,314 posts)However, I'm not telling anyone if they are acceptable or not or if they are Democrats or not but rather observing that our goals and hopes are not the same as is often said and is precisely from listening to folks that I gathered such a perception.
I'm pretty sure that neither the Presidency nor Clinton (though it sounds like in your assessment she isn't someone who would identify with some of our point of view) were mentioned in the post.
Like the dark side cave on Dagobah, what is inside is only what you bring with you just as you took and nailed yourself upon the old rugged cross that you were being called out as unacceptable.
If you are insulted or feel a favored politician was slighted then you placed that glass slipper on your on foot.
I have no idea what you are talking about as far as being okay with profits as long as it is for gun manufacturers as I don't recall being generally against companies making profits or any special consideration either way so I'm guessing you are attempting some weak ass smear when I make no secret that I support the 2nd amendment but at no time have I suggested gun makers be exempt from any taxes or any protection that I wouldn't afford any other manufacturers of durable goods. Which widgets are you claiming I oppose profits for? Or was it that I'm some hard line communist?
What in the world are you going on about here?
I don't know where the creative speculation that I called conversations on racism and misogyny divisive is about. Maybe you are conflating that I have called some word choices ineffective communication but even that is detail not spirit. In fact, at times one would find I can be outspoken particularly as it relates to law enforcement like profiling and the drug war as it relates to minorities.
Kinda important stuff to me personally having lived it so I'm not really sure what you were intending on meandering too but it ain't going anywhere.
Don't know what you are talking about here either.
What I do actually think is we have heard quite enough from the corporate wing, security state superfriends, the bankers, the torture defenders and excusers, and "bipartisan" reachers have dominated the floor for quite long enough and have not just been heard but have controlled for a generation with a free hand and here we are.
The folks who have controlled the message for years complaining about being listened to is silly. There is nothing else to hear all the stuff is on repeat like the dumber branch of conservatives.
