SECOND, you refuse to learn from reality.

Democrats had been losing ground for decades, until all they had left was a token presidency - and then Hillary lost, when by all your thinking, she was a shoe-in to win.

It didn't matter how MANY posts pointed out Hillary's MANY flaws, or the MANY flaws of the democratic party in general, you refused to even respond to them. You probably didn't even read them.

If you don't act on facts or the past, you are just like Trump. But you're even worse. He at least knows what he's rejecting. You actively REFUSE to even consider anything that doesn't conform to your Pavlovian conditioning.

And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

Thanks for the standard Russian trolling.

Convincing voters that both sides are equally corrupt causes political chaos, exactly what Russia wants, and it doesn't even need to go to war or get its troops killed if they can do their fighting from their keyboards located east of Moscow.

And the Republicans I know are certainly good at throwing around false accusations about Democrats. From personal experience I know Republicans are prone to gossip and slander. But I've made it pretty clear I don't like certain people and the funny thing about that dislike is that the people I dislike and can't trust and are crooks in their real lives, far away from politics, are also the same people who vote for Trump.

I think somebody should do a study of how people vote compared to how they secretively live their actual day-to-day lives and see which direction the causality runs. Does secretly being an untrustworthy and hypocritical tax-cheater make you vote for Trump? Or is it the other way around? It is very difficult to collect data. Yes, I have surreptitiously copied people's hard drives to discover who they really are. But the first time was a computer my father-in-law gave me in 1990, which he did not properly erase. It was very enlightening to give his tax returns over to a forensic accountant and see how he cheated. My opinion of Republican voters began changing.

Every time I collect more data surreptitiously from a target it reaffirms what I learned that first time. Maybe I should publish a academic paper? But there would be trouble for me from all those crooked Trump voters I know if I put my name on the paper. What is really funny is how the Democrats are pathologically honest. That does not work in their favor when their Trump voting competitors habitually cheat on taxes.

Later I realize that Trump's tax returns would be a treasure for a scholarly paper on voter behavior. He is the Ultimate-Trump-Voter. If my experience counts, he'd be the most extreme tax cheater in the Universe. "Tax Fraud By The Numbers: The Trump Timeline Updated: Oct. 6, 2019"

Yep second, comrade kiki's post is right out of Putins playbook, which is, why bother? Everyone else is just as bad. Then follow that up with all the bullshit reasons you can make up to sell that.

That is why I think Trump, and GOP politicians in general, should be tax audited by an independent agency beyond political control. It no longer becomes about differences in opinions on illegal aliens and trade and civil rights and religion. You know, the whole gamut of things Republicans disagree with Democrats on. It comes down to a number and accountants presenting politicians with a bill for back taxes. I am fairly sure that most, but not all, Trump voters would be angry at Trump and other GOP politicians who cheated on taxes. And I am positive that the GOP politicians cheat on their taxes, except for Mitt Romney.

While I am talking political fantasy, I might as well mention tax auditing Federal judges, including the Supreme Court. I think that would ruin the careers of most GOP judges. "Trump’s Sister Retires Rather Than Face Ethics Probe" It was about her tax cheating.

". . . Trump's sister participated in a decades-long multimillion-dollar tax fraud. That should be an impeachable offense. She gets her full salary. I think it’s appalling that we’re continuing to pay this criminal and that she now has completely avoided consequence. It’s ridiculous.”

Thank you for mentioning this tactic. Gary Kasparov (Russian troll insults in 3... 2... 1... ), pointed out this tactic back in 2016. As a Russian he's lived through it and continues to see it at work not just in the US - he knows first hand in other words.

Also, nice to see Susan Rice mention it. "Get us fighting each other is their tactic. They don't have to fire a shot to bring us down." I'm less optimistic about her solution, "we have to vote," and you could almost see Maddow flinch when she suggested it. "That's it? That's not enough!"

I never really thought much of Rice or much about her - this interview paints her in a more positive light imho (cue derisive comments in 3... 2... 1...):



Whatever, this bickering and division is the point, even here.

ALL politicians should be tax audited by an independent agency beyond political control.

The only problem is, show me a single institution that is without bias, or free from outside monetary influences that could change the way they operate.

I look at the news media and I don't see a single one.

You're going to need to qualify that statement and back it up.

Please, think it out, take your time, write it up, and get back to us with a response to back up that claim.




BTW, just for your information, there is no plural for inaction.
