***Official Political Discussion Thread***



Oh, obviously, I support what Chomsky is saying. It is very easy for somebody to stand up and say, truthfully, “I disagree with what Joe Biden stands for, his politics are much too conservative.” I get that. I share that view. But not to understand what it would mean to this country, and to our children and to our grandchildren—I have seven grandchildren—and what it will mean to this planet in terms of climate change if Trump is reëlected is, to me, to miss the most important point that has to be made. Trump cannot be reëlected. And what we have got to do, if you are unhappy with Biden’s politics, if you disagree with Biden’s politics—and I certainly do—then the fight has got to take place, starting today, to make sure that he moves in as progressive a way as possible, that his Administration is as progressive as possible.

That’s what our task is. It is not to allow Donald Trump to be reëlected and to see the destruction of American democracy and the destruction of this planet

There is a myth out there that all a candidate has to say, whether it’s Bernie Sanders or anybody else, to millions of people who voted for him or her, is, “I want you to do this,” and every single person is going to fall in line. That’s just not the way it works in a democracy. In fact, that’s not the way it should work. I did everything that I could in 2016 to move the Democratic Party in a more progressive way and to see that Hillary Clinton was elected. I worked very, very hard in trying to do that, so I reject any argument that I did not try to elect Hillary Clinton. I did. I think the difference now is that, between you and me, I have a better relationship with Joe Biden than I had with Hillary Clinton, and that Biden has been much more receptive to sitting down and talking with me and other progressives than we have seen in the past.

In 2016, in fact, we sat down with Hillary Clinton’s people, and we hammered out what turned out to be the most progressive Democratic platform in the history of the country. But I think it is fair to say that our relationship with Biden is a stronger relationship. I’ve known Biden for the last fourteen years, more or less, since I’ve been in the Senate, and worked with him a little bit when he was Vice-President. I think what you’re going to see is a closer relationship.

I thought his response to defunding the police would have been more aggressive

I realize something

Delk doesn't know that Georgia's primary is for both parties. Not just Democrats :lol

And Delk doesn't know that the DNC doesn't run state primaries

Dude is a troll, but on this subject he is a ignorant troll. So let us not entertain his buffoonery on this subject

I do realize that the Georgia primary is for both parties.

I am from GA. And have actually voted in a GA primary plenty of times.

What you don't seem to realize (or at least you act like you don't realize) is that this is a primary election.

The implication that the GOP is suppressing the vote makes zero sense. What would the goal be?

To prevent Democratic voters from choosing who they want to run against the GOP candidate?

On this subject, unless you are joking, you have no idea what a primary election is.
 
What about all the House Seats that have primaries? :lol:

Even still, what would the goal of the GOP suppressing the vote be?

To prevent a bunch of people from voting for the GOP candidates for the House seats?

To what end?

The logic doesn't make sense.

Again, unless you are joking you do not understand the purpose of a primary election.

Looking at Delk trying to throw some struggle jabs :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

He feisty today

Because besides trying to rig elections, the GOP is also cruel.

So making Democratic voters stand in line and risk Covid infections is something on par with what the GOP does.
 
Yea.. go try to salvage the nonsense argument of voter suppression for a primary.

:lol:
Quote where I said this act was about voter suppression.

Your head is so far up you own *** that you confused my comment with someone else.

You're just a buffoon think he is doing it right now

Props for finding some way to make it make sense.

Now it is just Democratic voters standing in line (when you JUST thought you explained to me it was for both parties :lol: )

And your theory is the GOP is trying to get voters to stand in line...waits for it...to risk COVID (in a primary where both parties vote).

I've heard it all.

So you gonna ignore the fact you strawmaned my argument

Ok Delk, stay pathetic
 
Mother****er, quote where I said this act was about voter suppression.

You reposted two tweets that hinted at voter suppression. And said this is the type of treachery the GOP does.

I then asked about voter suppression and you responded.

And another person straight up mentioned voter suppression and I quoted both of you.

I guess you see claiming voter suppression is ridiculous so you want to do the walk back.

Cool

It's not a strawman.

Perhaps you'll be all caught up when you look at the message you liked that was posted by plansb plansb

In your own way, I appreciate you acknowledging the ridiculousness of the initial implication.

I want everyone to make note of this

"Mr. I Didn't Literally Say That", is now claiming that he deduced my argument from by some vague actions, not my actual words.

Pathetic Troll

I guess Delk is cool with me calling him a racist, and a hater of white supremacy, because I made an inference based on his behavior and posts.
 
I don’t know the details of every State’s primaries or caucuses but it seems like most primaries run through the same electoral machinery as general elections.

In Georgia, it’s not much of a stretch to assume that the Secretary of State is doing a dry run for suppressing the votes of black peoples and young adults in the general election.
