Welp.. JackpineRussians

are barley talking about Trump's war mongering and posturing. Can you imagine if Hillary spoke a tenth of the way Trump does regarding all these bomb throwing war crap? Trump on the other hand is getting praise.

"emoprogs" and I looked it up.. and that seemed to describe them to a T.. they need to add a paragraph on Russia, though..

snip//

"Emoprogs dislike Republicans but reserve their greatest disdain for Democratic presidents, whom they relentlessly attack for not meeting a set of ideological goal posts that are constantly adjusted to ensure that the president will be deemed a disappointment, "not progressive enough" or "just like a Republican" no matter what policy achievements are made.

Emoprogs routinely dismiss or ignore congress' role in making or impeding policy, believing presidents can simply "use the bully pulpit" and "fight" in order to overcome constitutional or legislative obstacles.

Emoprogs have a strong affinity for 3rd party politics as a way to punish Democratic presidents. They are especially hostile to President Obama and deem anyone who expresses a lack of ill will toward him to be "Obamabots" and enemies of liberalism.

That was stupid greenwald's big thing.. "Obamabots"..

Look @ him.. he's a pawn for putin.

I know he doesn't like trump but I couldn't help notice how fixated he was on tearing her down, right up to the end. Oh well, guess he got what he wanted... Hillary's not the president now.

line as the German Communist Party in 1932 which saw Hitler as the "icebreaker" who would "sharpen the contradictions" and lead to proletarian revolution.

It's a line that failed to take into account the singular evil of Hitler and the Nazis. Many KPD supporters were in concentration camps within a year of Hitler's ascent to power.

This is the second time you've only met me with aggression.

To explain some of that since you want to make a public display of my reputation, I really don't recall saying I'm going to vote third party. I might have had discussions about it and considered it but I never settled on it.

Trashing DU? I don't really recall that either. I might have trashed some of the more acidic Hillary supporters of DU but not the site itself. DU has saved my families lives thanks to donations and also me because of the support. DU is great but it's not perfect.

And yep, I'm still energized by opposition. Hope you are too! After all, it takes energy to resist. And I'm no Susan sarandon. I said nothing about revolution because of my "excited energy". But it was a kick in the pants to work harder, not to feel defeated which of course was the whole point of the post you were referencing.

My hatchet was buried, why isn't yours?

Also, since we're going public: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1018&pid=940405

That's your first aggression towards me since I emptied my ignore list. This is your second. Please, stop.
