A game of "Who Said it, Jackpine Radicals or FReeperland?"

"a Hillary clone – what a surprise"
"Scamala Harris actually makes a Biden ticket WORSE."
"Another fake ‘American black’ — neither obama nor kamala spent any significant time in the US as kids."
"Biden/Harris...God help us if they actually win!"
"Yes, her personality is crap, and she is definitely not aligned with the Constitution. She's basically Holder in drag."
"A is already in the bag and she won’t deliver a single battleground state. Everyone knows Black men don’t like their own women"

It's scary how alike both sides are.

Following a successful appeal, we're back.

This was not meant to "peddle" either of these loony sides, but to show just how closely-aligned the Jill Steins and the alt-right really are.

I haven't checked JPR for years. Are there still any former high profile DUers posting there?

Lots of great DUers explained why.

As for Jackpine Radicals, there were a lot of good people there, too.

Thank you, honest.abe. Bookmarking.

Otherwise, that sounds like a blanket statement; you know, a propaganda technique.

"sounds like a blanket statement; you know, a propaganda technique."

As is the equivocation of "a lot of them were good people..." But I get why you indict others for the very thing you do, and place a reliance on non-sequitur questions such as your opening.

At the time, I asked them to vote for Hilary and explained why.

Among the nice people there were a number of people who are still DUers.

Last two are Republican.

JPR says Hillary is going to kill Biden so Kamala will be president.

The JPR-red rose people hate Obama more than the GOPers do, which is quite an achievement.

I thought that 1-2 was JPR and 3-6 was FR.

I am surprised that #3 was on JPR. I didn't realize that they were quite that disgusting.

Something about changed ownership and - dwindling participation. Guess I was wrong.

The bitterness still seems to be there.
