blotsfan 2,112 Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Because you judge Bennington for one act that was driven by a long battle with depression and other mental issues. With a clear state of mind, McCain spent decades making the world a worse place time and time again, knowing exactly what he was doing. Edit: Also, nobody said Bennington did a good thing when he killed himself. People say McCain served his country well, when the last time you could make that argument was almost 50 years ago.

It's amazing that despite all that he was still such an obvious step up from mccain and the republicans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted August 29, 2018 God that's so sad because that's our choice in a nutshell every election cycle. What made it worse with Obama was you actually want to believe the guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally. We all know these guys lie through their teeth to get elected. Obama just had so many ignoramuses fooled. You want to believe that his biggest commitment in the White House was burying women and children. What an extreme betrayal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted August 29, 2018 Well he also jailed journalists and whistle blowers and sold out country out to Wallstreet. He's now touring the country, giving speeches and collecting his payments. Having said that, he's also the only president to stand up to the crazy's in Israel and he wasn't trying to go to war with Iran OR Russia. He was better than Clinton, Reagan, both Bush's etc but think about how awful that is. If Obama is the gold standard...Jesus Christ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blotsfan 2,112 Posted August 29, 2018 But we could've built on Obama to move further to the left. Unfortunately now we're in a state where yes, someone like John McCain would look progressive compared to what we have now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted August 29, 2018 Idk if I would go that far. McCain looks like a "Maverick" because the media helped him form that image. I also think it's pretty clear that we weren't moving to the left after Obama. We didn't even get a progressive VP. We got a guy to the right of Hillary who was to the right of Obama. I would argue that actually moves us right. Remember that Hillary essentially owned the DNC at that point too so there's no debate that she then would become the face of the party and be in complete control of all of it's actions at the national level. That moves us to the right because then we just have two Republican parties. One is just less racist and crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blotsfan 2,112 Posted August 29, 2018 I mean even Bernie said Hillary was running the most progressive campaign in the history of the party (which it clearly was), and he has no problem shitting on Dems when he doesn't like them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Bernie is full of shit on that one and we both know that lol. I like Sanders but I'm not going to just agree with everything he says. I know neither one of us liked Hillary. I understand why you voted for her. I get that you would have rather Bernie won the nomination but that's an outrageous statement lol. There's a valid argument for voting for Clinton. She would have been a better president than Trump. I just think people needed to wake the fuck up. He's a fucking fool and they have a special investigation on him. They're going to turn up all kinds of shit on him and him going down for it could be really good because there's no way that Hillary or Cruz or anyone like that would have gotten caught doing this shit.

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted August 29, 2018 The Democrats rigged the election against Bernie Sanders and after he conceded they shoved a stick up his ass, strung him up and made him sing and dance at command in a sign of power and dominance. Everything after that you could tell he gave no shits about. He lost the passion and fervor he had while running. He didnt buy his own bullshit at that point .

seanbrock 1,684 Posted August 31, 2018 I can't figure out why it won't work. I just copied a link directly from huffpost. Anyone, The Republican Party Part II just not only confirmed all of Trump's federal judge picks but expedited them. Can anyone tell me what these people are actually resisting?

blotsfan 2,112 Posted August 31, 2018 They can't actually stop them from being confirmed (no filibuster for judges thanks to gorsuch), so they pushed them through so they can get back to their states to campaign. Its not the best optics (and this was a scummy move by McConnell but what's new), but there is literally nothing they can do to stop them from being appointed so...eh.
