I do not need to look at a playbook. You are too pessimistic and narrow minded for me to care what you think.
Bernie Sanders is the driving ideological force in the Dem Party. That is unquestionably the case. He lost because TWICE the Dem party organization held their thumb on the scale. Again not debatable. Super Delegates all for Hillary. Giving her the debate questions. And 2019 the same thing. But in the end Bernie is the driving force with getting the young voters and energy that Biden never has had.
Back to the topic at hand, I have my own personal case of Calipari fatigue. I believe he had earned the right to fix this mess, but the question is, can he or will he?
I believe in personal responsibility...what % of abortions come from rape and incest? Very , very minute I'm guessing and the mother's health is a totally different topic. I don't like it as a form of birth control. Be responsible . Doesn't PP birth control and condoms for free.
As I don't give shiSs what you think...if you can live with the blood of little babies on your hands...GOD help you@

I have no idea what you are talking about. You must be responding to someone else. But, by the way, Aunt Lydia, you misspelled ****.
Ok. Done reading this thread without responding to this point of view.
On BLM: Were your ancestors enslaved? Were any of them lynched? We’re they denied voting rights YEARS after it was guaranteed to them by the Constitution? We’re they denied access to Levitowns and other suburbs because of their race? Were they denied loans based on their race backed up by Federal Policy?
Quick accurate recap of our history vis a vis the African American experience (the fact that I feel compelled to mention that I am a white male age 52 only strengthens my points).
Enslaved them
Disenfranchised them
Worked hard to keep them out of good schools
Worked hard to keep them out of colleges (and pro sports)
Segregated them in material ways (housing, employment etc.)
In short, we made it nearly impossible for them to succeed, THEN blame them for their lack of success.
That’s not all I got, but it’s a start.
On communism/Socialism. You can’t even define the terms so why bother?
I actually agree with you for the most part. What bothers me is that Republicans stir up their base constantly calling Dems baby killers knowing full well it will Never be completely outlawed, nor should it be for reasons we both agree on.
Bernie lost the primary vote period. He didn't get as many votes as Hillary or Joe. Of course the Dem party did all they could to promote the more moderate candidates as they should. The country is center right and the Dem party knows it can't win a national election with a far left candidate. That's also the reason Trump lost....he moved waaaaaay too far right into My Pillow land.
Remember what Clinton said about abortion...I'm paraphrasing, but I believe he said for it to be safe , legal and RARE. Guess 2 out of 3 ain't bad, huh? Margaret Sanger would be proud of the CDP.

Not worthy of a response if you are listing stuff that ended in 1864, then again in 1964.
Do you deny that the ideological center of the Dems are Bernie, AOC and their ilk? Be honest. Biden was the electable candidate. You must win to then allow AOC and Bernie to have their agenda moved forward.
I hate him as the coach. Hate his condescending attitude to the fans. Hate the way he treats certain players.
So take it as you will
There is obviously a good chunk of the Dem party that believes in Bernie's ideology but it is not the majority. Just like there is a sizable chunk of the Republican party that believes in conspiracy theories and QANonsense but not the majority.
I do think both parties are more and more driven by the lunatic fringes which is terrible for our country.
Ah, so as you've pointed out the Dems are going to do the following: raise taxes, allow more ILLEGAL immigrants in to suck our country dry, higher gas prices, groceries and retail food costs will be going up.....wow, sounds like a veritable Utopia.....NOT.
But, according to you, "you doubt we will see much else". Well kiss my ***, I think that's enough damage from the lunatic Democrats for one term. Good grief.
*Taxes should be raised on people like Trump that pay almost nothing in taxes.
*We need immigrants...have you seen all the help wanted signs at fast food restaurants, grocery stores, construction and distribution centers? Take taxes out of their checks like all of us.
*Gas prices will rise because of supply/demand and people getting back to normal after the vaccine.
*Minimum wage hike will likely bring a slight increase in fast food and grocery prices.
None of that is nearly as dire as you say.
Btw...most of the world now sees the national GOP as the lunatic party with all their whacked out conspiracy theories, attacks on our democracy and nut jobs like Trump and MTG.
The Dems are now seen as the sane adults running things.
this thread was painting a dark portrait of KY and UK fans.......sam just turned on the light.
I never cheer for the Cats to lose although I have realized for sometime that this season is a lost cause. But, I'll be watching tonight and hoping they beat the Vols and beat them badly. Will that happen? Probably not but I'm not ever going against them.
Where we disagree is your belief that a 'sizable chunk" of tjw GOP believes Qnonsense while in comparison a "good chunk" of tje Dems believe in Bernie Socialism. You could be playing word games giving you the ability to claim that you never actually quantified either. I am not going to let you do that. So please on an actual percentage basis....give me your estimation. Just so I am clear...I have been GOP and politically active and aware for a very long time. Until this last election season I had never even heard of Q and some connection of it to GOP beliefs. Bernie and the Socialist agenda has garnered millions of votes nationwide. So the comparison you make is apples-oranges. IMO. But please quantify for me.
I believe you watch blazing saddles all day and think that's how people really are.
I'd say about 5 percent of Republicans truly believe in a secret Q figure working within the government to save them. It's a much larger group than you may realize. Many don't believe all the QANonsense like Democrats being pedophile canibals, but a good chunk believes enough to elect a lunatic like MTG down in Ga.
Until recently, over 50 percent of Republicans believed the lie that Trump won the election, it was stolen by rigged voting machines and other nonsense, but that number is dropping quickly as Fox News and NewsMax have started firing the liars and stopped spreading that lie to cover their asses from billions in lawsuits now rolling their way.
Obviously, less than half of Dems identify with Bernie's ideology or he would have been the one running against Trump. But you are correct...it is a good chunk of Dems.
The big difference I see between the extremes of both parties is that the far left is driven much more by a political ideology (movement toward socialist ideas/redistribution of wealth) while the far right is currently living in a bizarre alternate reality grounded in lies. Enough that thousands were driven to attack our Capitol and attempt to overturn a democratic election.
Not really saying one extreme is better than the other but I guess a case could be made for reality vs fantasy even if the results of either ideology are bad for America.
It's real frustrating trying to debate someone living in an alternate reality devoid of factual information.
I'm definitely much more comfortable in the slightly left or right of center zone.....
It is unfair and wrong to say that MTG's district voted for her BECAUSE of her Social media posting or supporting the Qnonsense. She is in a very GOPsafe district just like the equally crazy Squad are Demwise. Do we need to share the litany of awful things believed and shared by Illhan Omar for example? AOSmolette? Mad Maxine Waters? Only the media protection and double standards save them. MTG is not the willing supported face of the GOP like AOC is for the left. Though MTG is promoted by the left as being it in order to marginalize. AOC receives glowing coverage...even as it is revealed that she is a marvelous farceur.
Do you ignore now that nearly 50% and maybe more of the Dems believed that Putin and Russia directly colluded to rig the 2016 election? That lead to 4 years of investigations and tearing apart any possibility that this nation would embrace or believe that elections are free. The nation saw the Dems for 4 years saying Russia tampered so why do you think it is wrong that 50% of the GOP believed the same was possible here? Reap meet sow.
Be careful for what you wish. The censorship and cancelling that the left is foisting on the right....well if it goes around it comes around.
Russia did tamper with the last election...and probably this one as well. They tampered via spreading false social media memes and by trying nonstop to hack into our systems. This is a verifiable fact. The Trump run FBI and the GOP controlled Senate panel both found that Russia absolutely did try to interfere on Trump's behalf in the 2016 election.
We need to separate the election tampering charge from the collusion charge because they are two very different things.

As far as collusion....that is definitely much harder to prove and a case the Dems probably should have never made unless they had damn good evidence which they did not. Same goes for the GOP with respect to election fraud claims. The Dems had a lot of smoke but no gun. Trump is a lot of things but stupid is not one of them. He is too smart to get caught on tape or otherwise colluding with the Russians if he even was colluding. Bottom line....just not enough evidence to charge him with this.
That said, Trump didn't help himself by publicly asking Russia to find damaging Hillary Clinton emails and having his son meet privately with a Kremlin connected lawyer and a Russian spy..... as well as Trump meeting with high level Russians with no certified recorders or state department personnel present.
As far as AOC, Omar and Maxine Waters goes....I agree with you completely and don't support them any more than someone like MTG.
I'll throw in my dislike for Nancy Pelosi as well but more for her divisiveness than her far left policies or insanity. I would much rather have Joe Manchin as the face of the Dem party than Nancy Pelosi.
As much as I am against the kneeling during the anthem, I won’t ever enjoy or pull for the Cats to lose. I just can’t do it!
I would prefer they protest before the anthem and after the anthem not during the anthem. They do have the right to do it, and I have the right to not like it. I still hope they play well and realize their dreams!
Man you are totally brain washed...Trump was kicking a$$ till the China virus and ALL boats were rising. Do a little research who does the most tax paying in the country. Damn, what is in that CDP water?
Even when my parents were at UK, it was norm to not have black players on team. And that’s crazy to me. If you read this thread in full, I would appear provocative. But my only point is that racism is ********. And if I offend people stating that, I don’t care. It’s just right.
