a thank you
If it wasn't for people like him we wouldn't soon have our 1st female president. Insult him all you want, but at the end of the day you all of MAGA a hug and thank you for giving you Trump as her opponent. I know he's mean sometimes, but take it easy on him. He's got some rough times coming.

He's got some rough times coming. Oh, it's WAY more than just a female president they've given us. We're seeing more liberalism and progressivism now than I thought I would ever see in my lifetime. #MeToo, BLM, Republicans Against Trump. In trying to move our country back in time, they have accelerated it forward in all the ways they most feared. Wealthy Christian white men finally being held accountable for crimes ranging from rape to fraud to campaign finance violations. Police forces around the country finally being held accountable for mistreatment of minorities, and getting the training they need to actually work WITH the populace, instead of against it. Abortion likely to be engrained in the Constitution in the next few presidential cycles. Greater access to voting through mail-in ballots being adopted across the country. Exposure of Far Right media for the propaganda it is, including the metaphorical castration of Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson. The hardening of government institutions, making them more transparent and less susceptible to manipulation by politicians. The list goes on and on. And all of this, because the far right made the absolute WORST possible choice in 2016. I don't believe Harris is merely going to win this election. She's going to crush Donald, and that will mark a referendum where the country is saying it rejects all things Donald. So thank you, thank you, stu. Your gullibility and complete inability to select quality leaders made this possible. Freon |

Perhaps more than any city in the us San Francisco represents what we end up with when self labeled “progressives” run the show. There is no opposition to their policies. They get to implement whatever they wish. And here is what we end up with. And in 50 years the history books will be claiming San Francisco was actually a hard right place run by conservatives. www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/10/23/what-happened-to-san-francisco-reallyIsn’t an election all about deciding which policies we want to “make things better”. Why don’t people look to the areas where a party has complete control, like San Francisco. See what you end up with. It’s like listening to someone who is 5’ tall and weighs 440 pounds telling you to trust them with their diet advice over the advice of a world class Olympic athlete. |

Are you counting on another theft of the election to get her over the top? Biden and Clinton were both many points ahead of Trump at this stage before the election; Kamala is not.

Dear Poor Johnny B Dumb,  .. you could NOT be more wr,wr,wr,wr'..wrong. 
Once again, .. Johnny thinking he is clever, but, .. as usual he isn't, and he is wrong yet again! 
Kamala will NOT be Potus, and you and Greggy, Fiddler, and Freon, .. and a bunch of the rest of the dirty Marxist demoncraps ARE going to be ENRAGED when Trump easily DEFEATS Harris! 
Johnny, .. you keep f-ing up, instead of taking care of things down on your pig farm, and you should know that the filthy left does NOT give one shit about you, but, you ARE only a USELESS tool for them, .. notice I did NOT say ''USEFUL'', .. I said a 'USELESS' tool!   |

It’s like listening to someone who is 5’ tall and weighs 440 pounds telling you to trust them with their diet advice over the advice of a world class Olympic athlete. Fine, fine, let's look at places where the far RIGHT has complete control. They are shitholes, and there are a LOT of them. The poorest parts of our country are far right. The least educated are far right. The areas with the least opportunity are far right. The areas with the most crime are far right. With the least diversity, are far right. If San Fran is your example of the left having unfettered control, what is your example of the far right having control, where things are so much better? I'd like to understand what city you want the whole country to look like, so we can make a true comparison. Because San Fran, with all its problems, happens to have the most expensive properties in the nation. Has several of our best schools. Is an epicenter for culture, art, music, and theatre. Is ground zero for computer and bio technology. In fact, the list of POSITIVES regarding San Fran is pretty long, and I see you are not mentioning any of them. So show me what the right can do, and let's make a true comparison. And to be fair, they need to be about the same population size. Freon |

The outlier on your list is Oklahoma City. The rest, to me, are towns. Even Wallethub's 'best run cities' page, they say, 'Even during less difficult times, running a city is a tall order. The larger the city, the more complex it becomes to manage. Local leaders must balance the public’s diverse interests with the city’s limited resources. Leaders must carefully consider which services are most essential, which agencies’ budgets to cut or boost, and how much to charge in local taxes, among other decisions.' Also, I see Wallethub has other categories of 'best city', and you ONLY chose the one that has to do purely with resource management. What about crime? Opportunity? Happiness? It's not just about money. Did you know San Fran is ranked #7 for Happiness? How does that mesh with your poorly run cities narrative? Point is you are cherry picking. I see that most of our large cities choose Dems to run them. Why? If Dems are as awful as you say, why do they continually get chosen, even in predominately red states? The answer is that Repubs tend to do WORSE in these large population centers compared to Dems. Freon |

They thrive in populations of people with a low internal locus of control. These studies are well documented. People who believe that “external” factors are responsible for failures vote democrat. People with high internal locus of control believe most of where they are is a result of choices they have made tend to vote republican. Larger cities tend to have more people who are susceptible to the Democrat messaging. It’s always someone else’s fault. Vote for me and I’ll rob peter to pay you. Chicago has lots of murders not because there are bad people in Chicago. It’s because there is a neighbor red state that has lax gun laws and it makes robbing these homes too easy for Chicago criminals. Wisconsin needs a gun ban like us. Heck just look at the messaging from each campaign. It’s clear who each campaign is appealing to. This is all well documented and known.

a thank you If it wasn't for people like him we wouldn't soon have our 1st female president. Insult him all you want, but at the end of the day you all of MAGA a hug and thank you for giving you Trump as her opponent. I know he's mean sometimes, but take it easy on him. He's got some rough times coming. Seriously, you guys are not out of the wood, yet. Remember this: The American voters are fickle. Don't make the Brexit mistake. Vote. It's obvious one choice is rational, & t'other absurd? So obviously the right side will win? So no need to vote? Yeah. Around 1/3 of people are fucking maniacs, & they ALL vote. The 2/3 need to get out there. Assume nothing. |
