Not a bad strategy because I'm sick of Bernie at this point.

Yup they're purposely trying to hang kiss of death Bernie round the brother's neck it's shameful.

I've been sick of Bernie & his bots since 2016. When the DNC amended the superdelegate rules to placate unreliable non-Democrats, I was out. Still haven't decided if I'll even bother voting in the midterms. Last time I voted (D) I ended up with Trump

Ahh......two of my favorite tactics for defending and deflecting dog whistle racism. Ignore context and feign ignorance of racism's history in our society.

How silly of us black people for not realizing that Bernie Sanders saying "monkey around" when referring to interest rates, is exactly the same thing as a Trump Republican using the term while referring to the dangers of Floridians electing their first black governor.

I don't know how we ever could have thought Mr. DeSantis might be racist when he was so nice by calling his black opponent "articulate".

But thats not what he said. Stop injecting your own bias. You are the one actually ignoring context. You are personally adding a whole sinister narrative that doesn't exist because your "progessive" policies are a detriment to every city and community that's ever implemented them.
In fact, you're calling his comment "racist" is a racist dog whistle itself. His skin color has nothing to do with this. The fact is, your socialist policies are simply ruiness. Therefore, it's easier just to deflect with your dog whistles of "he's racist!!"- what else do you have, to try to gain votes for socialism?
I mean, promising a 40%Corporate tax? In what universe do you think a Corporation will stay in FL if he wins? None.
Desantis is correct. Don't fuck it up with your liberal failings.

I still have Bliss blocked but I'm seeing the responses to her posts. You'd think a near-death experience would have knocked some sense into her but some people are just plain stuck on stupid.

Thanos, please take out their half of America, thank you

She's a troll and these dudes keep responding, so why wouldn't she keep running the same play?

Who lives in an echo chamber?? The Right lies, lies some more, then hopes no one is paying attention while they screw over the poor and working class.

Gillum never said he wanted to raise the corporate tax in FLA to 40%.
He said he wants to raise the corporate tax rate BY 40%, from 5.5%, one of the lowest in the country, to 7.7%, still a huge corporate tax break and lower than California's.

Socialism as it's used by progressives means using our tax dollars to pay for those priorities that matter most to all of us, not just the one-percent and giving them hundreds of billions in tax cuts they don't need.

Nearly all Americans agree with the platform Gillum ran on. DeSantis is just another status quo Trump republican.

The right isn't going to be able to turn progressive ideals into a bogeyman to scare people into voting against their own best interests.

Once more Americans begin to realize the economy is coasting along based on Obama era economic policies and not a single thing Trump has done, more politicians like Gillum are going to win elected office.

BTW pointing out racism isn't racism. Again, even Fox News disavowed DeSantis' comments, which is all the proof anyone should need when a Republican is saying racist shit.

Just admit you're arguing with a troll at this point. You're not stupid.

lol

And there it is, my third favorite defense of dog whistle racism. Accusing the accuser of being the actual racist. You're really playing the greatest-hits today Bliss.

I'm telling you, it's only a matter of time before we get to the whole "The Civil War wasn't about slavery at all!" type of mental gymnastics. I got her blocked and I'll never see it...but I can promise you that it's coming lol.
 
Thump said:
Yeah, but it's not real drama. Everything Bliss says is just her opinion, and it has no real bearing on me other than entertainment. So I chose to respond or not according to how fun it is to talk about.

That's the thing tho. If she's trolling, it's not necessarly her opinion, just bullshit to toss around just for responses.

I guess I can't believe there are still rational, thinking people who are Trump supporters, or support candidates who claim to be just like Trump.

Whose trolling? Oh that's rich. Because l don't agree with your P.O.V?
You can't even have an honest discussion.
"Troll" "Troll". That's all that small-minded people can muster.

I dont support Desantis one way or another. What l won't support is BS claims of racism. All that alt-liberals did (and their activist MSM) was take a very common expression and then abused their base by dog whistling them to "get outraged"... all because Desantis said mucking it up would make Florida toast. He was stingingly on the money, and the alt-Dems knew it. Ain't nothing wrong with Florida's economy...it's doing just fine.

They don't need a Socialist running it into the ground. Especially since he's under FBI investigation for fraud.

But you are being the actual racist, and guilty of dog whistle racism with your initial post.

You are saying because Desantis used an expression (to describe his opinion of ridiculous policies) that has been used for eons (the world over), as well as by many politicians - including Obama..that Desantis is racist. How? He didn't call his opponent anything.

It is in fqct YOU who hit all bases when you continue to insist people with White skin are racist for using it.
You look for racism when it's not there. You can't keep condeming White people non-stop, day in day out because you suddenly decide you don't like an innocent expression, of which you had not one problem with when used previously. (l have provided names and politicans, including Socialist, Bernie Sandals).

Well l think you nailed how the alt-Left operate. They revel in un-real drama to distract their base. They don't believe half of the shit they throw out. Take the Russia collusion farce for example - it was all manufactured by them... they know it's really BS.
