Such poor planning on their part. :bowler:

Well I'm glad you at least are safe and sound in Blighty, at least until our political classes sell us out.  :bowler:

Quote from: Razgovory on January 28, 2025, 10:42:33 PMYou have some perverse desire to see these guys as "ultra-religious", which doesn't describe the majority of them at all.  They are, however, American and English-speaking.  And that is where your have a problem.  If Trump and his crew were Francophones, you'd be onboard.  And ethic-cleansing, you really seem on board with that.  You may be big on supporting Islamic fundamentalists overseas, but you are much, much less keen on them in your own country.

Freedom of religion must not be restricted.  At all.  We have had multiple debates on this already, and that was your position.
Deal with it.  They can advocate for your murder, the murder of Jews, the murder of Muslims, as long as it's under the name of God, it's A-ok.
Canada had such a case recently.  An Imam preached for God to kill the Jews, the enemies of the people of Gaza.  No criminal accusation as it's protected religious speech under our Constitution.

It's the world you want.  We've had enough debates about religion, I know where you stand on this.  You want people like this to be free to express themselves however they want when it suits you.  Deal with it when it doesn't.  It's the price you pay when they evolve to the next step.

Same with Christian fundies.

No, it wasn't and you are getting tiresome.  
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The voters were pretty clear that they thought Trump or Harris was more of the same.

I mean, Harris did answer honestly to the question.  Even her own supporters were outraged.

You don't like the consequences of absolute religious freedom because you now see where it leads.  I told you, you wouldn't listen.  Too late.  Again, deal with it.  

Buy a gun while it's still legal for non registered Republicans, you'll at least need it for self defense soon.

There may be a typo/misplaced word in there somewhere.  I don't understand your point.

I presume viper is referring to the question of how Harris was going to be different from Joe Biden.

Anyway, I will take that as a "yes, I do support ethnic cleansing".

Voters rejected the Democrat Party at the Presidency, at the Senate and at the House elections.

During the campaign, Harris was asked if she thought Donald Trump was a fascist and she answered "Yes, I think he is".  Obviously, the Republicans were outraged at being called what they were.  But even among the Democrats, many disagreed, along the rank & file, that Kamala Harris should call Trump for what he is.

It's like the Democrats didn't campaign on many issues against the Trumpist agenda, but voters did not want to hear about it.  When told, their answer was "it's all lies.  He was president before, and he did not do any of those things".

Ok, but that does not explain why the Dems have been caught so flat footed now.  If anything your observations indicate the Dems should definitely have been better prepared with their own plan on day 1.

I disagree with this take. The Democrats gained ground in the House though. And just barely lost in the other two. Their are standing on a razors edge and great leadership here could set them up for success and scare the Republicans into retreat.

But they aren't. At least not yet. Need to kick the fossils out.

At this point they need to be aggressively pointing out and attacking every single unpopular thing Trump does and tell everybody if they don't like it to support the Democrats. At least. They might even point out how their policies actually were better.
