wvParticipantHow confused r Trump supporters gonna be when, 2 hrs after Trump concedes the election & Biden claims victory, 1000s of leftists r already out in the streets organizing against the Biden admin? These Trumpets can’t even fathom the nuance in our political strategies & ideologies.

wvParticipantBernie Sanders: "We need a federal minimum wage of at least $15/hr."
Joe Biden: "I beat the Socialist!"
Florida: *Votes for $15 statewide minimum wage, and *not* Joe Biden*

wvParticipantI’m so fucking stressed! Between losing some very close friends, worrying about Trump winning, arguing with my wife and dog, worried about how half the country can support Trump and they won’t go away no matter who wins, it is not a good time in the Waterfield household.
==============
You call ‘that’ stress? I am on a ledge, with my head in an oven, with a noose around my neck.
Your boy has to do it, W.
I’m not even sure I can take 3 more months of Trump. Trump can do a lot in three months.

vwvParticipantI think it’s over. I’m going to sit back and enjoy watching the results from PA come in.

Obviously, you weren’t around when the Rams were leading the Vikings 17-7, in 1969….and then Joe Kapp started hurdling defenders and very very bad things happened in Minnesota.
And Minnesota and Pennsylvania both end in ‘a.’
You cant argue with my logic, Cal.

vwvParticipantIf, god-willing, Biden wins, this Krystal thot, is what we will be subjected to for years, and years.

wvParticipantI can not take another day of this.
I feel like the Rams are playing the Vikings in the NFC Championship and we are in the 27th fucking Overtime period.
I…want….him…GONE…from my life…SOOOOO much.

vNovember 5, 2020 at 4:41 pm in reply to: My personal theory on Trump supporters (i.e. 1/2 American voters) #123896wvParticipantI think Corporate-Capitalism just destroys people’s minds and/or hearts and/or character. Mainly because the entire system is built on lies and propaganda. It could not survive withOut massive quantities of lies/propaganda.
Capitalism leads to Inequality, which means an entire Underclass is stressed, ignorant, unhealthy, depressed, angry, mis-informed, and easy prey for the worst-kind of capitalist-propaganda. Fox-News/NY-Post style propaganda.
Capitalism leads to a wealthy-class which is privileged, greedy, indifferent, in-denial, blames-the-poor, and easy prey to propaganda aimed at the wealthy. NYTimes/NPR style lies/propaganda.
Capitalism leads to a 1 Percent, super-elite who are, essentially, for all intents and purposes, smiling sociopaths who are destroying the entire biosphere, while at the same time, giving money to charities, acting as media-darlings, and ‘wise’ policy advisors.
This system has spun out of control, and its going to get very ugly. Maybe not in my lifetime, but its going to get very very ugly.

vwvParticipantI’m too nervous to watch any of this. I need something like NFL-Replay, so i could watch it all if Trump loses. I hope this is fucking over at some point today so i can breathe.

But, to truly represent the Republican party, you’d also have to set your hair on fire, and your family probably won’t like the results too much, if I can state things rather baldly.

wvParticipantReally interesting around the 15 min mark. This lady lived in Russia with Cohen. She knows her stuff. The US poured money into Yeltsins Campaign. Russian Capitalist-Oligarchs poured money into Yeltsin’s campaign. Yeltsin gets ‘elected’.
Yeltsin then sells off the country to the Oligarchs who got him elected.
Yeltsin brings in Putin. …Later Putin gives Yeltsin Immunity. Etc.Connect the dots and the US is responsible for Putin being there. The US got Yeltsin Elected. Yeltsin Brings in Putin.
wvParticipantIf you give this about ten minutes, its quite interesting. Cohen wrote a book about russian revolutionary Bukharin, which was suppressed in the USSR, but Gorbachev read an underground copy and it influenced him. Gorbachev later became friends with Cohen…
wvParticipantwvParticipantSo how are you guys keeping up with the election tomorrow? Fox News? Just gonna bounce around the internet? BBC?
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantHakim, god-bless-him. Gettin all excited about the situation in the US.
He compares the situation to 1905 in Russian, not 1917.
But i want to tell him…its never gonna be 1917 again, either. A modern corporotocracy is not the same as a 1917-Russia-system.
Still, its fun to listen to Hakim, the Iraqi.wvParticipantKen Wilber the new-agey-guru has a term regarding various kinds of religion/spirituality: “transcend but include”. I have always like his approach with that concept and I kinda think it can be applied to politics sometimes.
For example if you are a hard-left-marxist-leninist-maoist-whatever-ist, you can have those revolutionary Aspirational goals — and still work with progressive-capitalists to get M4A. You kinda ‘transcend but include’ progressive-work. At least in the short term.Its basically the same as what you are saying with “its not either/or”
The alternative is for commies to just…what? Sit around and argue theory? To wait for the collapse of Capitalism? Which never seems to come. People have been saying its going to collapse ever since i can remember. Far-left-commies need to work with reformers when its something like M4A or Raising the Min Wage. Otherwise they are just irrelevant, in my view.

vNovember 2, 2020 at 10:56 am in reply to: WV, how’s your political anthropology study going? #123726wvParticipantBtw, Twitter blocked my account because i responded to a person who wrote “Lawns should be illegal.” I tweeted back “Kill your Lawn” and i added a link about lawns.
Twitter blocked my account for “encouraging suicide”.

vAs the young kids used to say, OMG!!
I have a small lawn, and I feel guilty for mowing it. Bad for the environment. I looked seriously into getting goats to manage it. Not kidding. They have some services for that around here, and they’re supposed to do a great job. But it’s really, really expensive, and I can’t afford to go that route.
I did try to shrink it with sections of soil filling and self-sustaining greenery, but there’s still too much grass. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
————-
My twit suspension was only for 12 hours. I coulda appealed it but i didnt bother.As far as lawns, there’s a lot written about how to get rid of em. The slow, gradual approach, bit by bit, or the big single Kill.
The main thing is to plant NATIVE plants where-ever you get rid of the lawn. Native to your area. This is an example, from California.
wvParticipantI really like this vid by Hakim. Hakim is a Marxist-Commie and he’s speaking from that perspective. But his main question can be posed to Dem-Socialists, Progressives, Anti-corporate-caps, whatever. Its a good conversation-starter.
How big a tent should the ‘left’ be? When can various leftists work together and when do the differences simply divide us?wvParticipantI’m guessing everyone has seen the videos by now, of the Texas yahoos surrounding a lone Biden campaign bus on the highway, knocking cars out of the way, and slowing it down to 20 miles an hour. Trump lied about their intent at his rally, praised them, and now is denouncing the FBI for looking into it.
—————–
Yeah, its mostly in the red-states. Surreal.
Looks like there’s gonna be violence if Biden wins, for sure.

“…They outgained the Dolphins 471 to 145, had 31 first downs to Miami’s eight, averaged 5.1 yards per play compared to only 3.0 for the Dolphins, and converted on seven of their 17 third-down attempts. The Dolphins, on the other hand, were 3-for-12 on third down…”wvParticipantBtw, Twitter blocked my account because i responded to a person who wrote “Lawns should be illegal.” I tweeted back “Kill your Lawn” and i added a link about lawns.

vwvParticipantNah. It will be because FoxNews and the Evangelicals and the Corporations and Team-Trump did a more effective job than Team-Dem. And because of a startling amount of Cheating.
