No. Bit*hy, whiny, screeching Democrats pinning their hopes on America's sense of decency gave us Trump. There was not a progressive in the race. 7 minutes ago, Deranged Rhino said: By the very nature of the "progressive" ideology, that combination does not exist. The prog fascists made being an alpha male "evil", remember. I don't play by the rules.

There was not a progressive in the race. I don't play by the rules. Progressive Obama IMO gave America Trump, the majority in the house and senate and 35+ republican governors. The before and after Obama numbers are pretty startling. Hillary, Bernie or any other had no chance of winning on the coattails of Obama. Trump merely kept it close.

You might as well wish for a unicorn to appear, that will happen faster than a progressive alpha male. You're exposing your ignorance of the philosophy you claim to wish see succeed. One of the few (maybe the only) smart strategies Democrats have used in the midterms is recruiting Veterans to run for Congress. Military veterans in Congress are down to about 20%. Down from 71% in 1971. Last I read there were 300 candidates running for Congress and the Senate who were veterans and over half were Democrats. People still long for outsider candidates and they would fit the bill. It worked for Connor Lamb although he is far from a progressive, but people like Randy Bryce is running on a progressive platform ($15 minimum wage, tuition free college) trying to take Paul Ryan's seat in Wisconsin. Bryce is a US Army Veteran, an ironworker, a cancer survivor who went bankrupt before the ACA was passed despite holding two jobs, and supports public sector unions. I'm not saying he'll win, but I think you can hold progressive views and be an "alpha male." A candidate like that may pop up in 2020 and win back the rust belt states. You never know.
OCinBuffalo Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) I love this. Back in the day, I would drop book-sized posts about Obamacare, The Surge, Obamafail, Education, Economics in general, various scandals(still waiting for an answer on how in the hell the Russians did a remote hack on the DNC server...whose metadata clearly shows that the d/l could only have been done by a local USB drive.).... ...and....(EDIT: some of you pricks, who shall remain nameless, even asked me for career advice...after reading said long posts, and then publicly...whatever) my level of being right was directly proportional to the amount of whining about long posts. The more you clowns whined, the more I wrote, the more right I was. Now, Greggy gets a pass on one book post after the next, and you kiss his ass, AFTER, he turns out to be right? Why? He has been shoving his personal collection of dildos up the asses of every poster here(but mine), since Trump got elected, and doing it in long-form prose. DC_Tom and GG are kissing his ass now, because they were Trump-haters then. Yet, when I decided that winning the Obamacare website debate was too easy, thus, I wote my replies in iambic couplets(for dolts: in poetry), just to make it harder on myself? WTF? Let's see Greg do an entire post in e e cummings, or, let's see him do anything poetic at all. F! I am an IT guy, he's supposed to be the F'ing writer...and you are all sucking his balls for doing the 1 thing he is suppsed to be good at? Lame. Edited August 2, 2018 by OCinBuffalo

None of that proves him to be an alpha and in fact joining in a group like a union could prove the opposite

If you're a progressive, you likely support the feminist agenda (which isn't about equality, but rather female dominance). That fact alone makes you a beta. As far as Bryce goes, isn't he the guy who has an arrest history a dozen pages long? Edited August 2, 2018 by joesixpack

njbuff Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 How long is this farce of a trial going to go on?

How did you go from "the point of the post" to a 10,000 word essay on past transgressions, your time as a job placement counselor, adult novelty items and ball sucking? Even for a message board that's some next generation chaotic spitballing. 1

That's why Mueller's team have a second trial on different charges scheduled. They want as many bites at the apple as they can get to either get Manafort to flip, or to try to secure a conviction on something (then leverage their sentencing recommendation for his cooperation.) 2

Yup, and if nothing else, the process is the punishment. Now Paul Manafort is nobody's idea of a choirboy or hero, so he is hard to cheer for - but Mueller is even scuzzier. There are no good guys in these trials. 2

I'm not sure what the solution is, but the government should not be able to batter private citizens into submission through the costs of defending themselves against a prosecutor with an agenda and a bottomless pit of resources funded by the tax payer. The process should not be a punishment in an of itself. 5
