Trump actually got arrested too. That's where the mug shots came from. He's been arrested, tried, and convicted. Now we just have to hope he gets imprisoned.

You must have watched a different debate than I did. Despite knowing that every word out of Cruz was a disgusting lie, Cruz kicked his ass through the entire debate. Allred's performance was a textbook example of exactly why establishment Democrats frequently lose what should be easy races.

Cruz might still be hated enough to lose, but not because of that debate. I finished watching the debate and thought "thank God nobody watches Senatorial debates!"

You decline, but at least putting "leftists" in quotes is an improvement.

If you can't be distinguished from the bad faith posts other bots make purporting to be liberals, I guess you'll just save them the trouble of doing it themselves.

Oh, I agree. Every time Hillary pops her head up this is what she does, and Obama is only better because he knows how to be subtle.

On the other hand, right wing trolls are also driving this message, and being even more obnoxious than Hillary.

The pattern through all of modern history is one of liberals failing to address rising fascism because socialism is what scares them more. Then the fascists win, the system implodes because fascists are incompetent, maybe a few million people die, then the liberals return to start the cycle over. It's pathetic that liberals can't stop repeating this tragedy over and over again.

Dude, it was you who claimed I "missed the point" and explained what your point was. Had you not originally buried your point in sarcasm that was indistinguishable from Democratic establishment douchebagery this might have been a very different conversation.

Right wing operatives are trying to drive wedges and your playing right into their strategy. Most of the "undecided" rhetoric comes from or is amplified by right wing bots, as does the worst of the establishment scolding. I'm all for calling out the trolls, as long as your not doing their work by not making it clear who your attacking.

We want the same thing in November, but I don't think your attitude is helping us get there.

I think you nailed it with "leftists". The comment I responded to didn't bother with the quotes.

The whole point of this obvious right wing psy-op is to drive a wedge between liberals and leftists. When liberals don't distinguish between "leftists" and leftists, it plays right into their hands.

These operatives are running a two pronged attack. They aren't just impersonating leftists, they also imitate liberals preaching from their high horses like Hillary Clinton on steroids. Liberals should take care not to do that work for them.

Read your comment that I responded to. There is no indication whatsoever that you aren't among the large contingency that actually thinks these freaks are leftists. When you mimic idiotic Democratic establishment talking points, you will get treated like a Democratic establishment idiot.

Way to fail to make the point.

It's almost like we've seen it before.

Bring back? It never went away. The 13th amendment still explicitly allows slavery of prisoners, and that has been exploited to the fullest.

Countries have no right to exist. They exist because they can. An apartheid ethnostate certainly has no right to exist or right to our support. If Israel has a right to exist, what about Palestine?
