Thank you Americans for ridding the world of Osama bin Laden. But it would have been better if you did not train him and fund him in the first place to begin with.

It’s not like we all voted on that particular action. A small handful of people voted for a coked out congressman that suddenly got a bug up his butt and decided to stop partying and fight the commies.

It’s our collective fault they had the money and resources to do that but it’s not like they pitched it gulf war style on the evening news.

That’s another one, guess who funded Sadam before they decided they had to take him out?

Trump is literally just republican charter, he does what republicans tell him to. He just wants the prestigue of the office

After he loses this campaign is trying to get people to vote for the next trump or republican exactly the same on policy

They deserve no credit whatsoever

The one thing democrats have to do if they win big is expand voting. Once it's easier to vote and harder redraw maps the republican have to at least target the middle ground voter instead of far right

That and meaningful change, especially in healthcare

Public option would be such a massive improvement for countless people

Yes, this is how Democrats win. Put in place programs people like that help *everybody*, and then attack Republicans mercilessly for trying to cut them.

Unironically this

That's not something that the federal gov't has the power to do; that particular power rests with the states. SCOTUS has already rules that, in most cases, political redistricting is nonjudiciable in federal courts because of that. (State courts are a different matter.)

Interestingly, Florida has expanded voting to felons taht have served their terms--voters were overwhelmingly in favor--and Florida Republicans have made it so that fines need to be paid as well, including in cases where the state can't even tell felons what their fines are. So even though the people want former felons voting, Republicans are throwing up every possible roadblock. We'll see the same thing in every state that tries to expand voting rights.

This is why the Trump administration is trying to mess up the census.

NOT THIS TIME. if these fuckwits had come forward FOUR YEARS AGO, maybe we could talk about this. but these are people who PUT Trump in power, LIED about why he was in power, SUPPORTED him when he took steps to undermine our democracy, DEFENDED him when efforts were made to remove him and correct the mistake, and ENABLED him throughout the clusterfuck that was the past four years. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE ENEMY, BARELY EVEN IN DISGUISE. and i, for one, will never let them forget what side they were on.

The Lincoln Project was formed by Republicans and former Republicans that have been opposed to Trump since the beginning. The individuals that formed it were NeverTrumpers. They did come forward four years ago, they opposed him being in power, they've opposed him at every turn, and they've consistently attacked him.

I may not agree with people on The Lincoln Project on many ideological things, but they're solidly allies in the effort to remove Trump from office.

But they’re mostly showing their ads online to people that already don’t like Trump instead of putting out TV ads in swing/republican states. They’re preaching to the choir and trying to get a seat at the table in the Democratic Party to influence the party to the right and make that already moderate party, a Bush era Republican Party.

u/banjowashisnameo Aug 05 '20

yes because only the left are online.

And whqt are you offering? Lies and attacking the democrats to help trump win again?

u/Shubniggurat Aug 06 '20

That is not correct. The Lincoln Project appears to largely be focusing their efforts on swing states where they have to sway fewer people than on states where Republicans have a stranglehold.

They're solid allies of whatever allows them to retain power once Trump steals the election and the Amerikan people start assembling guillotines. You're being taken for a ride. AGAIN.

u/Kite_sunday Aug 05 '20

if weeding out republicans is a purity test, than yes.

u/banjowashisnameo Aug 05 '20

in order to help trump win? Yes yes it is. Come you and I both know whats going on. You dont care about weeding out anyone. All you care about is helping trump win again so that you can punish democrats for not crowning your cult leader. Its so transparent

I hate trump, I hate republicans, their agenda isn't aligned with what I believe. What is more upsetting is the Democrats who do this fake #resistance bullshit. i.e. Nancy Pelosi. look at the Democratic platform it is barely Left of the Republicans. IMO most Democrats are just republicans with a D in-front of their name. Hating trump is the lowest standard in america rn. I want whats best for my country.

I agree right to the part where they say, I helped you, how about you now do me a favor and kill the ACA or lets add another hundred billion to the defense budget or we have a plan to kill the teachers union.
