My non "P" word thread for Moksha

Post by Hound of Heaven »

I’m initiating this thread to create a space for sharing information from common sense democrats. Additionally, I will attempt to avoid using the "P" word in this discussion, as the poster Moksha is struggling with my assertions regarding the far-left radicals who have dominated my party.

In my observations over the past few months of posting on this board, I've found that even those who identify as independents or claim not to align with either the Democratic or Republican parties tend to consistently support the perspectives of the radical left. I believe the situation on this board regarding political issues mirrors what occurred during Trump's address to the American people this week. Whenever Trump is brought up in conversation, the response tends to be a blanket condemnation of Republicans as bad, racist, fascist, and white supremacist.

My point is that, as a moderate democrat, I feel fortunate not to have succumbed to the mental decline that often accompanies the pressure to accept everything from the far left. I have never felt compelled to regard their words as absolute truth. I find it perplexing that numerous democrats and independents hesitate to challenge the far left, especially when it is their perspectives and ambitions that seem to be leading to electoral losses for the democrats.

The current situation we are observing, characterized by a significant breakdown from the far left, stems from a collective that has become used to consistently having their desires fulfilled. They have also grown familiar with a lack of opposition from those they consider to be on their side.

With Republicans gaining backing from conservative and moderate Democrats, as well as independents, in their efforts to counter the extreme views of the far left, it seems the far left is reacting with a display of frustration, seeking sympathy from others.

In this thread, I will share some politicians and influencers who are not aligned with the far left but are actively challenging the radical ideas emerging from that side. My hope is that someone here will find the courage to stand up against the narratives coming from the far left. Is there anyone present who has the bravery to voice their opposition to the far left? Am I the only Democrat here who recognizes that the extreme ideas of the far left are a significant factor in Trump's rise to power?

I'll begin with some words from John Fetterman. This is a man who continues to battle the effects of a stroke yet articulates thoughts that surpass those of nearly all elected Democrats put together. I'm curious, what is the reason for that? I believe there is just one reason for this. He remains unbothered by the far left and the outbursts they display when things don't go their way. I believe he shares my passion for the Democratic Party and is determined not to passively observe as the far left undermines it.

The whole ‘auctioneer paddle’ thing was pretty dumb, but you’re ranting about the ‘far left’ while using the example of the whole lot participating in this stunt. I’m not sure that holding up auctioneer paddles is very ‘far leftist’.

It would have been much more interesting if they were all holding Molotov cocktails.

Hound, have you had any threads lauding Regressive politics and Regressive policies?

What about Trump's newest push to end the Department of Education?

In 2028, the Republican Party will present presidential candidates such as Pete Hegseth, an Army veteran honored with a Bronze Star, and JD Vance, a Marine who has a captivating narrative of overcoming challenging beginnings, along with a wife who will resonate with many American women. Additionally, there is Tulsi Gabbard, an Army veteran who will bring significant experience to the race in four years.

On our side, we still lack a compelling leader, and we have influencers who provide us with videos like this one. Here are our warriors! https://youtu.be/MnhAD5cdpyM?si=WCQN5xH_dgIZDbfd These are the Democrats who might be competing against Army and Marine veterans in 2028. This video provides valuable insights into the current challenges faced by the Democratic Party. Can you at least agree with me that this video is damaging to the Democratic Party?

Hold up; you’re not all in for the Trump 2028 push?

I am also disturbed by your lack of faith in Vance to automatically ascend to the MAGA throne if Trump decides that he no longer wishes to be The King.

You lie out of habit. No wonder you're willing to sell out to Trump.

It's common for Trump morons like you to misinterpret being against Trump as aligned with "the radical left." But that's because you're a moron. Regular, normal people find Trump to be a massive piece of crap. Either his fans have chosen to ignore that simple fact or are pieces of crap themselves and can't see it, so they latch on to the idiotic idea that a normal response to Trump is actually a condition of derangement.

Hard not to consider Trump fans damned idiots.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

It would be interesting if Hound gave some examples of the claim, but discussion and facts are anathema to propagandists. ; )
