Bronz stop.

Don't hold your breath.

3rd option because whataboutery is stupid.

Leftists just don't want to admit that they have flaws as the rightists. Stop playing the moral high ground.

I think Sanchez's personal...problems are enough of a punishment for him.

You're glad my brother is autistic? Whatever dickbag.

Was that caused by the same undesirable, inbred genes that caused you to become a neo-Nazi alt-rightist?

People who say "COULD care less" instead of "COULDN'T care less" sound dumb.

It's terribly annoying.

I could care less about prople saying "could care less" and probably should.

Hell no.

Marxism is stat-ism.

Any Marxist should not buy or enjoy commerce, as they are totalitarians.

"Agree with me or you're a Nazi sympathizer"

     There are comments like this floating out there and people wonder why political discourse in this country isn't worth the tissue going down the toilet with it.

Apparently declaring counter-protesters equally bad to the white supremacists (one of which murdered someone) they're speaking out isn't a sign of sympathy.

Honestly PiT really should learn to give a damn about civil rights issues. He seems more annoyed at the leftists pissed at white supremacists then the white supremacists themselves.

Hell no.

So... You're a "Marxist" and support Stacey Evans and Beto O'Rourke?

I would think even Jealous and Sanders would be too right wing for anyone who is really a Marxist.

George Pataki thinks Kid Rock is "exactly the kind of candidate" republicans need? Has his head been up his butt since his campaign ended? Is it so hard to see that kid rock will be a trump clone in the senate? How can this not be an endorsement of the trump wing of the party?

Reminder: Pataki is dumb, and thought 2016, over a decade after he left the Governorship of New York as an unpopular failure, was the time to run for President. Even when he was Governor he never overshadowed Giuliani.

the part about how he left the governorship as an unpopular failure. a 3 term governor who had a 52% approval rating in his last poll. Its asinine.

Sure, it's a bit hyperbolic, but honestly, I would say Obama left office an unpopular failure even if he left office with an approval rating in the high 50s.

you cant call someone an unpopular failure if they are popular. its ridiculous revisionist polemicist crap

It didn't seem like an apartheid state when I was there in November 2015.  The Chinese tend to be a bit wealthier despite the affirmative action Malays benefit from, then again I am not an expert on the internal politics.  In terms of segregation, no more so than many Western countries in terms of ethnic enclaves although not living there cannot comment on what opportunities are like for each group as that is an important factor to consider.  One thing I did notice is Malaysia has a much higher standard of living than most Southeast Asian countries (Brunei and Singapore are the only higher) and seemed quite modern and developed compared to the other countries I visited in that part of the world.

Right, if someone breaks into your home you have to WAIT until he/she does a level of violence before you do that level of violence.  That's clearly moronic.

Different country different values.  I don't think too many Canadians are overly upset by this but could be wrong.  Canada tends to be quite a bit more communitarian and socialistic compared to the US although this might be a bridge too far, but I am not sure castle doctrines would sell well here either.

I'm actually quite disappointed by this. Bannon, unscrupulous and raw as he may be, is a genuine intellectual. The empire he built at Breitbart is utterly deplorable, but he as an individual offered an ideologically articulate form of populism -- albeit, a variety I disapprove of -- which was going to be absolutely central to maintaining even the slightest fantasy that Trump is a populist. Maybe they never were really going to drain the swamp, but we'll never know. Without Bannon, it's now certain that it's not happening.

Long-term, this was a very bad decision for the stability of the White House.

I'm glad, the less populist and less stable the republican party is, the better my favored causes and strategies would do.

Oh, I'm certainly not upset that the Republicans will suffer as a result of this. I'm just regretful that Steve Bannon wasn't on our side to begin with. If it weren't for his extreme social views, he could have been very valuable in a Democratic administration.

The best thing Steve Bannon could do for the country right now would be to go into hiding for a few months and then reappear in the media as an outspoken, populist Blue Dog Democrat. Ideally, that would mean a genuine change of heart on a few things and general acceptance from the Democratic party -- a situation which is way too much to ask for.

You know this is just going to lead to more back alley abortions, right?

Some people want go back to those dark days where some women would die in those back alleys or have serious medical complications...

The whole "back alley" line is like saying we should legalize rape because then it would occur out in the open where the public would eventually intervene, rather than making it illegal so it is done in more concealed places. The problem with this line of argument is that it assumes that the action performed (abortion, rape, etc.) is inherently good or at least unavoidable. I don't believe that abortion is good or unavoidable (in a situation where it is illegal, I believe that everyone is capable of following the law), and the harder it is to get an abortion, the less abortions occur. While I get those who are really adamant will go to the back alley, those who are on the fence, or those who want an abortion but don't feel they want it enough to go through walls of steel (so to speak) to get it, will likely forgo the abortion if their local abortion center closes, and that is where unborn lives are saved.

Yes, let us cheer for reduced funding for cancer screenings and STD treatment. Huzzah indeed. 

Community Health Centers do far more of those than Planned Parenthood, and if funding that once went to PP is instead redirected to them (as these defunding bills generally do), they can definitely pick up the extra "labor" from the closing of the local PP. Also, with its recent surge in donations, PP can probably mostly survive w/out government funds anyways. Furthermore, I have no reason to believe PP actually abides by the hyde amendment, and even if it does, receiving funding to help pay for its other services frees up money from private donations to help pay for abortion, thus allowing PP to lower the cost of an abortion and thus make the murderous procedure more avaliable.

Comparing abortion to rape

[Coraxion]

I happened to notice that counties such as Fairfax and Loudoun have turnout around 80% whereas the rural couties in western Virginia have around 50%.  Considering that this is an off year and Stewart has a home county advantage, he could very well pull it off if he turns out the rural areas and gains support in Prince William county as well as Loudoun.  It also depends on what Tim Kaine says or does over the next two years.  Even northern Virginians are VERY protective of the confederate monuments.  It is very unwise for any democrat to go against them as Northam and McAuliffe already have.

Ah yes, Corey Stewart will make big gains in prince William due to home advantage, just like how trump did very well in New York City..../s

Considering Obama got 63% percent and Hillary got 59%, I'd say Trump improved in NY.  Also, remember that Virginia has not had a majority winner for governor or senator since 2012. All the wins since then have been pluralities. Also, this is likely to play out like the Georgia special election with max turnout everywhere. As for Northern Virginia not caring ablut confederate monuments, I live up here and even the liberal minorities here stand up for them. We all went into election night thinking Warner was going to win by 20 points or so. Kaine is not nearly as popular as Warner.  Warner won all but 6 out of hundreds of localities in VA, Kaine only won The typical democrat localities plus VA Beach.

Am I a Marxist? Hell no. You are correct in saying that those people would be too moderate for a Marxist. Sanders is a left-populist social democrat, Jealous is a social democrat with an emphasis on civil rights, Evans is a standard New Deal liberal, and O'Rourke is a New Democrat ffs.

It's just a comically stupid to say. Saying that all Marxists are totalitarians is just factually wrong, and displays immense ignorance of Marxist analysis. To give an example, it was Marx who said that "Democracy is the road to communism". The other point about the fact that Marxists shouldn't use modern-day devices is an ad hominem cliche that just needs to die. It would be like saying to an 11th-century peasant, "you shouldn't use farm tools if you bring up the issues with feudalism because those farm tools were developed under feudalism". Also it dismisses the fact that technology such as the modern-day computer would have not existed without government research in the 40s and 50s, the Space Race of the 60s, and government subsidies after that, which, according to the same people, is "socialism".

You really shouldn't assume that the world is so black-and-white; just because I find a criticism of Marxism to be painfully stupid, doesn't mean I'm a Marxist. Even my nickname clarifies this.

I poorly phrased my response to his post. Steve Bannon is scum and I would not accept him in the democratic party, it's just his firing fits my ideological goals in that particular moment.
