I am home now after that one breakfast beer. May not drink for the rest of the day because I am not normal.

I hope visiting the place of my birth gave you serenity.

@Js1 drive your ass to the store, get a redbull with 5 hour energy chaser and get the fuck ready.

You need to wait until he finishes getting his ass blown out, in a locker or something like that.

It was nice, but I hope the health department cracked down on Chili's if they're birthin babies in there.

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article….   

 

What’s the point?  You aren’t going to agree with any of it.  Both have moved farther apart on almost all issues.  There’s plenty of examples out there, this isn’t news to most people.  Women’s rights and immigration fuck the Republicans for sure.  It’s the rest they keep getting farther apart on but you and plenty others don’t see it obviously.  Literally posted a poll of democrats and their stance and how it’s changed.  There is no middle anymore on anything.

Not arguing the last part at all.  But literally democrats themselves in polls say they have moved more left.  What part of that are you so angry about?  Like what’s making this visceral reaction happen?  Everything ok at home?  The fact you use fucking so many times proves you won’t listen to any logical argument of a view you don’t agree with obviously.  

The reaction is visceral becuase people keep asking you to name ONE policy, and you refuse to do it (becuase you probably fucking can't) and then you whine again and again about people not reading your fucking lame ass OPINION piece article(s). 

If you want to engage in good faith conversation, you should try acting in good faith. So name a democratic policy that is super far left. Was it  the Infrastructure Act? Was it the CHIPS act?

Look can you please just call it quits? its called shifting the overton window, I don't care about the meta or what democrats think. it is this level of incompetence where the overton window has shifted to deporting all undocumented workers (and legals, and citizens and Jack Smith) is part of the discourse.

Discourse about moving to the center is surrendering to fascism.

You haven't made a logical argument, you've made an emotional one. That's why you've cited to polls and opinion pieces. The Democrats are far to the right of where they were in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. It isn't debatable. It is cold hard fact. Every genuinely progressive policy from those times have been walked back by modern Democrats to some extent or another.  I curse because I like it and it emphasizes a point: you're being fucking dense as fucking hell. 

Thread shit over.

American Democrats, in 2024, are much further right than pretty much any major liberal party in any other first world country. I'm not even sure it's debatable. 

What a completely asinine attempt at a point.

So in poll with democrats since Clinton the stance of most democrats has changed drastically to further left….  But pointing this out is my bad somehow?  There’s no actual conversation coming from this obviously, it’s the same for both now.  Neither will admit anything.

I read it but the key is that I also understood it. I explained why self-descriptions of moderate, liberal, etc. are worthless using you as an example but I can't understand it for you.

And yet again, two references to policy areas where Republicans have gone hard right but zero ability to come up with areas where Democrats have gone far left. You're doing a tremendous job of proving everyone else right.

The 1980s broke the leftism of the Democratic Party. We are currently slowly walking it back to where it was in the 1970s.

But that is on economic issues. On social issues, of course they are more progressive today. And that is also where the Republicans go after them and try to stir up panic.

He's being purposefully obtuse, or is just an asshole right now. Distinction without a difference at this point.

Did you or someone close to you do or say something really stupid and were forced to suffer the consequences of doing or saying something stupid?

We’re not asking some random sampling of what policies the Democratic Party has shifted far to the left on. We are asking you. Do you have an answer that you are willing to share.

wow shawn fain (uaw) on fox news. ballsy. 

cavuto - well i understand your union is pro-kamala, but that seems strange considering 2/3 of teamsters are voting for trump.

fain - those numbers aren't accurate, and i can tell you at least 40,000 retired teamsters love harris and biden because they saved their pensions.

cavuto - shawn, thanks again for coming on the show.

It is wild to me that people don’t realize that the American Democrat party is to the right of most European Center Right parties.

Well, in general we aren't very smart.

I’m not freaking arguing Trump isn’t an extremist at all.  Just the fact that both parties have gone more away from center, that’s it.  

And you're 100 percent wrong. You've lost sight of what center is. 

Democrats have gone more towards the center while Republicans have gone so far off the map they're approaching Mars. 

Name Biden policies of the last 4 years that were far left of actual center. List them and explain why.

compoletely honest take. 3/10

Noodles look cold and there's way too many of them and they aren't the kind I like. The veggies look like shit, the meat looks like it's been pre-chewed and way overcooked and the broth is hella cloudy instead of clear and stock like. Would not eat.

Yeah. It looks like shit. I don't think it even qualifies as pho. Maybe 2/10.
