Well I wouldn't go that far. It's pretty tough to actually compare negatively to Trump in my view of it.The XL wrote:

Notice the curious absence of left-of-center economic or policing policies that are mentioned.MMC copy/pasted:
Jun 20, 2018 · Mr. Bloomberg — a political independent who has championed left-of-center policies on gun control, immigration and the environment — has approved a plan to pour at least $80 million into the 2018 election, with the bulk of that money going to support Democratic congressional candidates, advisers to Mr. Bloomberg said.
Hahahahaa, I get it, because she's a woman! Hahahahahaahaaarrr!! You're such a knee-slapper, dude.jet57 wrote:
I sense a mess coming. Word is that Biden might run. Of course Sanders is going to jump in and pee on everything again. Wouldn't it be nice if the Democrats could just pick someone who knows what the hell he or she is talking about and just get behind THAT person like a title wave and unseat every Republican in both houses as well for a super majority? But noooo, Pelosi is going to kick and scream and burn her bra, the Dems are going to go Immigration and LGBT again. They're going to keep talking about this ghost called "The Middle Class" like it even exists anymore and they're going to clearly demonstrate why THEY TOO are so $#@!ed up they don't know whether to $#@! or wind their watch!
And then there's Trump.
Anyway, this radfem would like to point out that bra burning is an urban myth. There was no burning of bras. Not now. Not then. It's a fun idea, but it's a myth.
What there actually was was a small protest of the 1968 Miss America Pageant both inside and outside the event. On the outside, as part of the protest, demonstrators set up a what they called a Freedom Trash Can (these protesters were drawn from the anti-Vietnam-War movement and employed its type of rhetoric often) and dumped what they regarded as symbols of beauty culture into it. Some chose high-heeled shoes. Others girdles or Playboy magazines. Some chose bras. But there was no burning. They also brought out a sheep to symbolize the pageant participants. It was a small event that captured the often playful spirit of early radical feminism, not unlike organizations with such titles as W.I.T.C.H., shorthand for Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell, which famously cast a hex on Wall Street. (The Dow did fall a few points the next day. Draw your own conclusions.)
Nancy Pelosi is incapable both of having that much fun and of challenging the most painfully obvious forms of sexism in our society, such as our beauty culture, which is stronger today than ever before. A modern analogy to the type of action that was the 1968 Miss American Pageant protest would be the current-day phenomenon of beauty resisters in South Korea. They are awesome, IMO.

my first comment was sincere. FDR was known as the Great Socialist. And he was. Period.
and the crack about Hillary was just as sincere. She's a thief and a liar. She's even more corrupt than Bill could ever hope to be.
as for the second question: Why aren't you the president? I assume you believe you'd be a better president........the way you batter Trump must leave you with a certain air of arrogance.
oh, here's you non-existant bra burning

Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.
Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.
But, but, but, he is rich so he must be a crook and stupid!
When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.
When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.
And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
