Why racism is MORE important than income inequality or wealth disparity in America.

And how you can easily prove the GOP is defined by racism above all other issues.

Why did the "dixiecrats" leave the Democratic Party?


Why were they Democrats in the first place?

Uh huh, so the reasons to BE Democrats were not strong enough to keep them Democrats once the party was no longer the official party of racism but the GOP was, so off they went.


Extend this out to the logical end, EVERYTHING in this country is first and foremost about racism or white supremacy.

Be wary of headlines or stories that can cause sympathy for

anyone in that group of Nazi's that have stolen the WH.

Just sayin...

Dont believe a FUCKING THING said or claimed by ANYONE on that side.

NOT ONE!

Beware of conversations about how Democrats have to do this or that to win

elections.

It will usually be a way to INSULT democrats by listing allegations of what they are doing now that they have to stop doing.

Should be easy to spot, easy to refute, and if not that easy then just remember how we GOT HERE in the first place!

For instance, I know what one could do, one could VOTE for ANY Democrat in November as if ONE'S life fucking DEPENDED on it!

Now dont get me wrong, I like Bradley Cooper, I do.

But I do not fucking CARE if he has been a lifelong suffering Eagles fan nor do I need to see the camera go to him every 2 minutes during a 4 hour game.

Please DENOUNCE any polls brought to DU that are NOT from reliable

sources or pollsters.

I think I saw one here over the weekend saying the "blue wave" is in doubt now, so as a trusting liberal I got worried, depressed (sadly knowing how easy it is to talk Americans into doing something stupid) and then I think one of us/you pointed out the poll was RASMUSSEN.

Now I am not sure if that was the case, I am not going to go look for it.

If you want to win an election one way is to LIE about leading in that election so as to convince the other side there is no point in voting and your side to vote to make sure you win, etc.

ANY polls or nonsense like that brought here to DU whether the one I am remember was or not, PLEASE people, SMASH it down with vengeance!

Thank you.

This next election is about whether or not the nation survives and possibly YOU too!
