its funny how there's a distinction some times, but also president kamala will ruin america and make it venezuala.


Even funnier was privileged lefties telling us all they were going to leave America back in 2016 cause their privileged world was surely gonna end with fascist Trump as president.

The sad part is none actually left and now they're cheering for crooked Joe Biden Corleone. Idiots

Can you show me in the Bogie quote I responded to where this distinction was made by him?


Whether you are a good person is not fundamentally decided by ideology. I know many leftists who are, in my estimation, fundamentally decent people.

The ideology itself, though, especially as expressed in recent years, is toxic. It replaces truth with ideology in a way that we haven't seen since the rise of Communism. And as we know, every thesis gives rise to an antithesis. What will the antithesis of the modern left be?

My biased perception is that you're referring to a small minority of the left in the same way that leftists tend to overestimate what is a minority within the right. Both extreme ends of the spectrum are toxic in their own way, but they are ultimately minority positions.

Most Americans, including most people here in PaRD, don't exist at either extreme and are quite centrist. But, centrists are rather dull and boring from an entertainment perspective, so we'll see representations of the left being third-gender antifa rioters who demand veganism and the right being white supremacist Proud Boys who want to force women to be incubators.

Some 130 million people voted in this election. If either of those extreme examples were actually representative of the modern left or right we'd be in for a world of trouble.

socially, i guess.

but we're calling the party wanting to throw piles of cash at mentally ill people, homeless people, bankrupt people, and the impoverished generally by redistributing it from people with a yacht that fits inside their yacht following a fundamentally indecent ideology.

not much face validity there.

Crooked Joe is probably better than Crooked Don though, with all that money he borrowed from China on his real estate.
