That's not true. He wrote a book, made millions, stopped demonizing millionaires and focused on billionaires and his peace de resistance - unsuccessfully run for President twice. To be fair, I don't believe he's authored much legislation for all his years in Congress though.

He's like a Kardashian, famous for being famous.
That’s a criticism of him made by establishment Dems. He did co- author the Fed audit along with Ron Paul which was nice. He also helped move an entire political party to the economic left and has highlighted the corruption in campaign finance. Both positives for the country.
Wait, I thought you were claiming we are center right? :? :lol:

It’s been that way for quite awhile across multiple polls and subjects. People like their weed, hate their health insurance company, want sensible gun laws, are tired of wars abroad, etc.

The trend will continue whixch is a good thing.

I haven't heard of this site before, American Greatness, but they have some interesting articles:
https://amgreatness.com/2021/03/29/the- ... al-temper/
Liberalism is no longer a philosophy. It’s a personality: flexible, situational, attuned to prevailing winds.
It’s embarrassing. We have liberal mayors who in summer 2020 wouldn’t defend their own cities, college presidents who denounce their own colleges at the command of leftist protesters, and a parade of liberal figureheads apologizing dramatically for a slip or a foible that deserves barely any notice at all.

Liberals have the power, but they won’t save us. They can’t save us—it’s not in them anymore. It does us no good to accuse them of hypocrisy, either. Double standards don’t bother them, they’ve made their peace.
:ohno: :ohno: :ohno:

Liberalism has jumped the shark.

Trump is bad for the country and bad for the Republican Party in the long term.

Wealth inequality leads to massive change and often revolution.

Gun violence if unchecked will eventually lead to new restrictions.

Corporations are legal fictions, not people.

Money is not speech.

Trade imbalances suck and we need to leverage our markets and resources for the betterment of all Americans rather than just a select few. China is our adversary.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is the most underrated book in American literature.

I don't disagree with any of that. Well maybe the Zen part but the rest is good. We don't need to throw the baby out with the bathwater to make meaningful change that leverages the advantages of what we have without sending us down the road to the American Cultural Revolution and misery.

It's good to see a non-buggy post from you. Maybe you can get that glitchy code overwritten in the next release of Kalm.

That is bound to happen when you throw a mixture of Basic, Forth, Speakeasy, C++, and Java, into a compiler and then try to update it to modern programming language like Scratch, Groovy, Rust, Dart, Swift, Red, or Ballerina. That old hardware just doesn't have the processing power it used to and when things get too jumbled one is bound to return a errno.h header file. :ohno:

It was required reading by my boss when I took my current job.


And your comment about Gun Violence is a symptom of something deeper in our current cultural psychic. ;)

Zen can go stick it where the sun don’t shine. Take out the middle 200 pages of the book where he attempts to define the word “quality”, and the remaining 100 pages might be ok. I would have just as soon had ice picks jammed under my fingernails than read that book. :ohno: :ohno:

Ask the question the same way over and over and you’ll get the same answer. Add in caveats and the polling can drastically change. We’ve been over this before.

Honest question - why is she a "fat bitch?" and not just Stacey Abrams? You seem to have a real hatred for her.


And before you say some nonsense - I can't stand Abrams. My record is clear that I think she is awful.
