Again, it's just code.

Code for "foolish, stupid, and unwise".

All we have to do is listen to what these candidates say.

And not only listen to what they say but watch what they do.

Eight days into his administration, Mamdani partnered with Gov. Kathy Hochul to launch free childcare for 2-year-olds. This marked the first step toward universal, free care.

He has taken action against predatory landlords, securing $32 million in restitution for tenants and making repairs to over 6,000 apartments.

His administration returned millions of dollars to workers and small weed businesses exploited by large corporations.

His administration filled over 100,000 potholes and invested heavily in public toilet and park infrastructure across underserved neighborhoods.

While these pledges have been fulfilled, other major platform goals remain in progress. For instance, his promise to freeze rents and establish free city bus routes requires ongoing collaboration with state officials in Albany and independent regulatory boards.

Meanwhile the DingaLing's of the world clutch their maga pearls and cry "The Horror!" "The Horror!

"What in the hell do you think DSA is?"

I would ask you that same question. As you appear to be very confused about the difference.

They are not "communists " nor do they claim to be.

The Democratic Socialists of America Are socialists.

I am ok with you being against the Democratic Socialists. Because that's the kind of maga dick you are.

But why must you always lie? Remember. You don't have to and you are under no obligation to repeat every lie you hear Trumpy make.

Code for "not us."

Yes. Which is, in Trumpy's words, foolish, stupid, and unwise.

All Mamdani is doing is kicking the can down the road (billions from State, deferred payments), looks good to people like you (uneducated), and then when it goes south you'll blame Trillionaires, or even the next GOP talking head.

#13 | Posted by oneironaut

So. Same ---- different day. The same thing we have always been doing. America has 39 trillion dollar deficit. Which is clearly just "kicking the can down the road" 39 Trillion times.

Nobody took that seriously. Why would they take this any more seriously?

No one took Joe McCarthy's red baiting seriously?

Senator Joseph McCarthy ruined the careers and reputations of thousands of Americans during the "Red Scare" of the early 1950s. While an exact number is impossible to determine, historians estimate that hundreds of people lost their jobs directly, while thousands of others faced intense questioning, blacklisting, and public shaming

What planet do you live on? This crap is as dangerous when was weaponized then as it is now. Perhaps even more so with the surveillance tech we have today.

Who is legitimately afraid of it now? What planet do you live on?

You think Americans have really changed and grown up out of it?

It was not the first time and it's obviously not going to be the last.

Not if Donald J Trump and his faithful maga followers have anything to do with it.

Obviously.

It appears America is now experiencing a "third Red Scare," though it differs from the anti-communist hunts of the 1920s and 1950s. Instead of targeting actual Soviet agents, the modern version uses terms like "socialist" or "communist" to attack liberals, democrats and social democrats and political opponents and labor organizers and even protesters.

If you were really on this planet you would already know this.

Do not question the Emperor.

Fear of communism is like the herpes virus. It is only able bubble to the surface and express itself in times of extreme national stress.

You know. Like we are experiencing right now

I wouldn't attribute it to any kind of maturity or growth.

Just that they've grown tired of the accusations and they're desensitized to it.

Brother.. we are all very tired of it. But that doesn't seem to be stopping it!

One thing I've learned about Americans.

They really don't know much about our own history. They do not learn from our history because they really don't want to know our history.

Which is why we always seem to be repeating and reliving our past mistakes.

You're just entertainment.

#36 | POSTED BY EBERLY

And you think you are somehow different and above it all?

lol

We are all just entertainment for the Gods.

"Let the adults run things."

Where are they?

As soon as I get a chance I will gladly vote for them.

Just that they've grown tired of the accusations and they're desensitized to it.

That's probably one of the biggest takeaways from the McCarthy era.

#34 | POSTED BY EBERLY

See? That's what YOU learned.

That's exactly what I mean by Americans don't know their own history and do not ever learn from it.

See? I got something entirely different from that episode in American History.

My biggest takeaway from the McCarthy era is that fear and political paranoia can easily destroy basic rights.

During the 1950s, Senator Joseph McCarthy ruined lives and jobs by accusing innocent people of being communists without any proof.

This should have taught Americans to always protect the truth and defend free speech.

But. Did Americans really learn that? Apparently not. Not on the planet I am currently sitting on.

I don't get sucked into such things the way you seem to be all the time.

Ha!

Looking at you not getting "sucked in".

Me...."nobody takes it seriously"

you..."But goddammit they should!!!!"

WTF is this nonsense ?

You definitely have a reading comprehension issue.

Or you have misquoted misunderstood me on purpose.

No. It's just that i challenge you to explain yourself when you say stupid shat and i questioned why you think no one takes this seriously and countered you with facts.

When the folks in power right now obviously do take this seriously and they want you to also.

And at first I did not take them seriously. But now after seeing them act out their worst facist fantasies on America I certainly do.

I made the mistake once of thinking there was no way America would seriously vote for Trumpy and The Great American FAFO.

Like you made the mistake of thinking the Supreme Court would never overturn Roe v Wade. Yeah. I won't ever make that mistake again.

Because I can learn.

I question whether you can.

Which is why the next jackass that comes along screaming "commie!" will get dismissed for the most part.

Right. And how many lives will be destroyed this time before it gets dismissed. Again. For the third time.

it's fun to watch.

Happy to be able to enlighten AND entertain you!

Be sure and tip the waitress on your way out and don't forget to subscribe to my channel. lol

What exactly is you're afraid of this time, Donner?

#49 | POSTED BY EBERLY

Me? Nada. I don't even carry a gun.

Some of us are actually more concerned for the welfare of others.

"over what? calling you a commie? calling me one?"

Are you living in a cave? How many Americans have been traumatized and careers destroyed by this administration already?

Destroyed because of their ideology!

Whats a few more. Gotta catch em all!

And you really don't think Trumpy or his acolytes would not have someone he accuses as a "communist" fired or otherwise harassed if he can? A few hundred thousand more won't matter and you won't even complain about that either I guess.

-And how many lives will be destroyed this time before it gets dismissed

"probably a lot to be honest."

Wow honesty! Very refreshing.

Now that there is a real difference between me and you.

I don't accept that even one life should destroyed by this nonsense. Not one.

Much less hundreds or thousands of upended lives before it is finally "dismissed". Again. For the third time.

That literally sounds like communism.

#57 | Posted by oneironaut

I guess you should know about communism.

Didnt you say YOU were a communist? A Commie Spyboy wannabe? Or are you a reformed communist who is a capitalist wannabe?

Hard to say what kind of wannabe you really are but you don't seem to know much about communism that's for sure.

FYI - many different types of governments use severe surveillance techniques to try and control their people.

those had to generate a lot of commie accusations.

#64 | POSTED BY EBERLY

Because the point of this is to win elections...not lock up suspected "commies"

Being as the word "commies" can mean anything to a maga maroon ...

Why can't it be both? I suspect it is. Trumpy says it is. MAGA believes it is. They will try and make it true if they possibly can. I could be wrong! (After all I was wrong once!)

But if YOU think this is all just another big nothing burger you need to ask yourself ...

Where are these accusations of "Communism" coming from and do those accusers have the power to do anything about it?

And do they have an history of doing anything similar in the recent past?

We agreed on that. I'm honest. You're not.

lol

We agreed you were "honest" once. Not always. Definitely not always.

Damn your reading comprehension sucks bro.

I may not know what "communism" you were taught; I have only lived it.

#71 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

So you are a communist from a communist country and you know all about it!

So why on Gods Green Earth would you come here and try to lie about it to us and pretend like a democratic socialist is even remotely the same as a communist?

And btw- what You just described doesn't sound like communism it sounds like a facist authoritarian dictatorship. China may say it's officially a communist state, but in reality, it operates as an authoritarian, state-capitalist dictatorship.

People like Donner don't give a flying fuck about communism. He cares about elections and winning them.
#76 | POSTED BY EBERLY

"People like Donner". What kind of People am I Beverly?

And look at you pretending to know what I think.

I am quite sure we all know who doesn't give a flying duck around here.

If you think I'm lying then prove it or move on.

I said you are not always honest.

You really do either suck at reading comprehension or you are not good at being honest.

Like do you really believe Americans are not capable of another Red Scare ? Or did you just chose to take the opposing view for shats and giggles? Like you sometimes do.

Much like "Nazi". It can mean anything to someone who simply wants to denigrate their opposition.

#79 | POSTED BY EBERLY

And you honestly think that?

Everyone (but you apparently) can easily recognize when someone acting or dressing like a Nazi. I would think you have to display some Nazi tendencies or at least a tattoo.

If only the commies would get tats so we could recognize them more easily.

at the moment they are coming from opportunists that are staring a polling data that doesn't look good for them and they're trying to gin up voters for the mid-terms.

#77 | POSTED BY EBERLY

Almost honest. But really that is just a weak deflection. Beating around the bush as it were.

It's coming from Trumpy and is trickling down to his minions and cult followers. Some of whom are in positions of power over American lives.

And if the past is prologue the "gin-up" has just begun.

I am just being honest!

Think YOU can be "honest" about that?

All you have to do to be called a Nazi is hurt the wrong person's feelings.

#83 | POSTED BY EBERLY

Yeah nope. No honesty there.

Yes sure "Nazi" can be used as an insult.

Pretty sure that's not how Trumpy is trying to use it. As JUST AN INSULT. He is trying to use it to label certain groups and justify whatever future evil shit he has planned.

Can't believe how far off the mark you are DonorBot.

#85 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

Really commie spyboy wannabe?

I am not for or against that guy. I don't know if he is a Nazi or not.

I generally with these kinds of things wait and see what happens.

But that guy actually has a Nazi tattoo as i understand it. So suppose that does justify some calling him a Nazi.

Communism? Doesn't seem all that likely to me.

Yeah. Sure. That observation and 5 bucks will get me a cup of coffee. Maybe.

The Supreme Court overturning 50 years of precedent didn't seem very likely to you.

But look where at where we are!

They recently only voted 5-4 that the constitution was actually constitutional!

Nobody cares that you have unrealistic expectations for Americans.

#88 | POSTED BY EBERLY

Nobody has any unrealistic expectations of you being honest either.

Unless it's you being an honest asshole to someone who disagrees with you.

Only five year olds, DonorBot and TruthnLies feel this way.

#90 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

Blah blah blah.

Someday you may actually say something significant.

But it will probably be by accident.

To Donner, what he believes is the truth, even if it's clearly proven otherwise.

Prove otherwise or STFU.

No one here cares what either of you think I think.

They mostly dont even care about what I think I think. Much less what you think I think.
