I have to or else the cheer squad for the establishment democrats will disagree? Did she accomplish anything? Other than failing to go after enbridge in other ways, failing to protect citizens in any way, failure to launch popular campaigns in any way, prosecuting israel protesters personally under false pretense because she is a super fan. Personally, also failing in that. Failing to help citizens that make complaints about being violated by state officials, and being rude to them in the process, lying to them.
It really is pathetic people still trusting and defending these democrats when the only hope is to get rid of them and get popular reform candidates.
I just gave you a half dozen examples and you didn't refute a single one. I understand why, as the cheer squad you can't use reason because you would lose every argument. If you want to respond to my points I might respond, but bandying words with someone lobbing slander to obscure the issue is a waste of time.
People that start sentences with sigh are uniformly insufferable, incorrect, dishonest, and lack comprehension. Good piss off, you addressed one of my points, falsely. She tried to prosecute protesters of Israel for exercising their first amendment rights and you are lying for her, as if it wasn't public her deep connections to Israel.
No one should give anything you say any credence, you either can't be honest or are incapable of judging the credibility of sources. No wonder we are losing. Go Team! /s
It was a bit of a rant. I see the prosecuting Israel protestors one. I'm guessing that's the core of it? I don't know what failing to launch a popular campaign means.
You don't know how to play politics you are saying. No shit.
Hector, my man. You gots the angers. Your keyboard is gettin all smushed.
If you are not angry something is wrong with you.
I mean, yeah, but also I like things.
I don't see how liking things is applicable to being ok with politicians throwing the government to fascists openly planning on fixing elections and unleashing a reign of terror on the citizenry. To be ok with them failing to champion popular reform, and instead actively hurt us for the plutocracy. Really that answer doesn't make any sense in context I don't need to recount that much of the situation you should already know.
Liking things should lead you to want to protect them from those that will destroy them. You either really haven't thought anything through, and or have no (even less than very little,) idea what is going on with all due respect.
I will add it's astounding to me, in our situation, that you don't know what launching a popular campaign means. Just, wow. For a state attorney general, you can't identify a popular campaign. People probably listen to you to, jesus christ dude.
I know what those words mean, but not why failing to do so would make an AG a cynical fucking cunt.
You wanted her to launch a popular campaign? I mean, many AGs are appointed.
You don't know why failing to be popular is a problem? Or why betraying her constituents for the powerful. Or for only launching perfunctionary attacks on big money. Or by attacking the first amendment under false pretenses in defense of the worst people in the world.
And I'm the asshole, got it. Hard to see why the other party won with all that understanding you got there.
If she’s a cynical fucking cunt, why would you want her to be popular? More to the point, why would you fault her for not campaigning to be popular? Wouldn’t you benefit from her unpopularity? It doesn’t make sense.
Prosecuting anti-Israel protestors, or whatever the story is there - that’s understandable. That’s a common story we’ve seen many times for a few years now.
Perfunctory attacks on Big Money seems like a good thing though. Why is that bad? You’re saying the attacks are for show and she has no intention to do anything but hold a press conference about it? If so, also understandable, but just needed a little more detail there.
