Yanno, name calling isn't going to distract from the fact that the DNC is entirely corrupt.

Quote:Too bad for you that I actually know Trump defenders in reality. Their real lives make me disinclined to believe what online Trump defenders such as Signym and 6ix claim. Their real lives are a sad mess. They want someone to save them from the mess. They want a Trump.

Last week, at a Fox News town hall, former President Donald Trump called China’s despot, Xi Jinping, a “brilliant” guy who “runs 1.4 billion people with an iron fist.” Lest anyone doubt his admiration, Trump added that Xi is “smart, brilliant, everything perfect. There’s nobody in Hollywood like this guy.”
Trump is not alone. Many in the United States and around the globe see the allure of a dictator who gets things done and makes the trains run on time, no matter the rules or laws that stand in the way. According to repeated polling, roughly one in four Americans agrees with the statement that a “strong leader who doesn’t have to bother with Congress and elections” is desirable.
Authoritarians would have you think that they can do certain things better than their counterparts who have to deal with checks, balances, and public opinion. Don’t believe it.

When given examples of ACTUAL DNC corruption, at the individual, institutional, and policy level, you predictably try to turn the discussion to TRUMP! and TRUMPTARDS! or RUSSIA!
We're not as stupid as you are!

Quote:You think I care about this trivia that you think is important? Hunter Biden is a crook and therefore the Democrats are crooks? I don't care. Hunter got off easy and therefore the Democrats are at fault? I don't care. All that proves is that the court system is underfunded and slow because the GOP wants it that way, forcing prosecutors to make deals rather than go to trial. It doesn't mean Democrats are bad. The IRS doesn't collect a trillion per year in taxes, but I don't blame the Democrats because it is Republicans who are under-funding the IRS. The emissions of CO2 are growing constantly, but I don't blame the Democrats because it is Republicans who want cheap gasoline, and more coal mining, and "Climate Change is a Chinese Hoax" is a strongly held Republican belief of Texas Trumptards.

Signym, you have a case of whataboutism when writing about Democratic politicians, but all Trumptards have that condition to varying degrees. I will try to simplify this for you, one more time: Every Trump defender I know, every GOP voter I know, I knew them to be unreliable and crooked long before Trump came along. Sadly, some Democrats are the same, but not all of them. I am Democrat because the people who vote for Republicans or defend Trump are all crooks in my experience. I don't know every Republican and every Trump supporter, but I know a large enough sample to decide that the entire GOP is a bunch of extremely defective people.

A program that’s saved 25 million lives is at risk of losing its congressional authorization for the first time.
By Zack Beauchamp, Jul 28, 2023
You may not have heard of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). But you should: It has saved more lives than any other US government policy in the 21st century. And now, for the first time in the program’s history, it is at risk of losing a critical vote in Congress — for reasons that say a lot about today’s Republican Party.
First passed in 2003 under President George W. Bush, PEPFAR is a vehicle for distributing HIV/AIDS drugs to people in poor countries who wouldn’t otherwise have access to them. It has been astonishingly effective: The most recent US government estimates suggest it has saved as many as 25 million lives since its enactment. It is currently supporting treatment for over 20 million people who depend on the program for continued access to medication.
Given its success, PEPFAR has historically enjoyed bipartisan support. In 2018, Congress reauthorized PEPFAR for another five years without a fuss. But this time around, things look different. Some House Republicans, prodded by an array of influential groups, are threatening to block another five-year reauthorization. Their argument is pure culture war: that PEPFAR has become a vehicle for promoting abortion.
In reality, PEPFAR is legally prohibited from funding abortion services, and the argument against the program on anti-abortion grounds is very thin. But in today’s political climate, where the culture war reigns supreme on the right, this is enough to jeopardize the continued good functioning of a program that the Republican Party used to champion.

"We Shouldn't Have Done It": Facebook Exec Admitted They Censored For Biden Regime
Update (1440ET): A leaked Facebook email from 2021 written by Nick Clegg, the company's president of Global Affairs, to colleagues, reads: "We were under pressure from the administration and others to do more," adding "We shouldn't have done it."
As Matt Taibbi of Racket News writes:
In yesterday’s Facebook Files release, it came out that Facebook, in its desperation to cool down these White House apes, promised to reduce traffic to Carlson’s video by 50% while it was “in the queue to be fact-checked”!
Hunter Biden didn't order that!

How you do anything is how you do everything.
This Sunday, it will be 58 years since July 30, 1965 — the day LBJ signed Medicare and Medicaid into law. Two days before, it had passed the Senate 70-24. Seventeen Republicans voted against it.
The Republicans who voted for it — mainly liberal Northeast Senators like Jacob Javits of New York — would no doubt be Democrats today.
Ronald Reagan spoke out against Medicare and Medicaid, calling them “socialized medicine,” and saying they would “supplant private savings and curtail Americans’ freedom.”
Instead, Medicare and Medicaid have expanded Americans’ freedom. The freedom to get medical care when they need it. The freedom to live a longer, healthier life. Yet, to this day, the majority of Republicans remain hostile to everything they deem “socialized medicine.”
When we passed the Affordable Care Act in 2010, we got not one Republican vote. And they fell just one vote short of repealing the ACA in 2017.
When Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, it included a provision giving Medicare the power to negotiate the price of pharmaceuticals. Not one Republican voted for it. Even though Americans pay two to three times as much as Europeans do for the same pharmaceuticals.
At first, in the lead-up to the debt ceiling crisis, Republicans said they wanted to make cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. They backed down only when they heard the outcry from millions of Americans, including Republicans.
But make no mistake. If Republicans take the White House and one or both houses of Congress after the 2024 election, Americans will see drastic cuts in these programs.
