    Hmmm… So you’re telling me the president that followed the “let’s cater to the conservatives to woo them over” turned out to be devastating to the Democratic party…

    Let’s see what the Democrats are doing now as they obviously learned that lesson…

    …wait… They learned that lesson right?

      So very smart!

          I’m just proving both sides are the same so you should vote R.

          I want the progressives to win. It is the only way to stop blue maga

        I’m not sure how you got that out of my comment.

        If Dems didn’t move to the right under Clinton we’d have had a better shot at avoiding this. They still have this obsession with catering to “moderate conservatives” as opposed to the left wing of their support group.

          Absolutely right. We had three candidates Clinton, Perot, and Bush. Bush lost because Perot split the conservative vote. We absolutely should have run the most left wing candidate possible.

          I’m having a hard time remembering all of the democratic socialists we had in the house, senate, or as governor but it was like 86.78% of them or something. Just too many names to remember. They were everywhere and in almost all positions until blue maga came along. Anyway, they went with the absolute most conservative democrat, Bill Clinton, whom is essentially a political mix between Hitler and Mussolini to RATCHET toward conservatives.

          If you didn’t know RATCHET theory is when a fascist pretends to be nurse ratchet by making blue maga more magaee and killing all human rights for billionaires to protect pedophiles. Basically, all the stuff you see in this thread about Clinton and how he is exactly the same as Bush but also worse because DEI, woke, and blue MAGA.

      I can’t believe Clinton wrote and passed that legislation. He also wrote a lot of blue MAGA pro Trump stuff and expanded global warming with his climate change hoax!

        I can’t believe Clinton wrote and passed that legislation.

        40 Senate Democrats and 97 House Democrats seemed happy enough to put their signatures on it.

        He also wrote a lot of blue MAGA pro Trump stuff

        Unironically.

        Former United States President Bill Clinton asserted that the legislation strengthened “the rule of law by cracking down on illegal immigration at the border, in the workplace, and in the criminal justice system—without punishing those living in the United States legally”. However, IIRAIRA has been criticized as overly punitive and intensifying border militarization. With IIRAIRA, all aliens, regardless of legal status, were liable to removal and it expanded types of transgressions that could lead to removal.

        Hardly a secret that the 80s/90s was the peak of “Both Sides” politics, given that both parties seemed to be marching in lockstep to send the whole country over a cliff.

          Yes, agreed, they are the same.

          Don’t pretend that Clinton didn’t write this behind closed doors with his billionaire buddies and blue maga.

          it is all meant to harm true progressives.

          Please vote R to support Bernie and the real progressives.

          It is the only way to stop the wrong kind of dummyrats and get the right dummyrats as kings!

            I doubt Clinton wrote it. Why would he need to when Congress had an army of lobbyists to write it for them?

            Please vote R to support Bernie

            I mean, you say this, but if the hard left turn in NYC is any indication, it really does seem to help the Socialist cause when you’ve got fascists running things. Neoliberals like Clinton, Obama, and Biden can tread water for a minute and keep the lights on. But it takes a failson reactionary like Bush or Trump to really fuck up the imperial core hard enough to spur a revolution.

    Clinton did a lot of stupid shit, but he didn’t “end welfare”. For one, welfare still fucking exists, so…

    Dude was an orator and he said we were going to end it as we know it. Are people this dense?

    There’s a lot to criticize Clinton for, so let’s not just make shit up

    You bet he did. Encouraged child rapists and made sure the #1 government policy is protect the pedophiles over a certain income.

    Clinton “paved the way” for MAGA 16 years before it happened. Got it.

    Also he “ended” welfare which continues to exist.

    Lemmy gold.

    Fucking stop. The heritage foundation was formed in the 70s to “pave the way” to what we have now. Look at how many policies of theirs the presidents since then have supported.

    The entire government and media apparatus have been inching us back toward fascism ever since they missed their first chance in the 1930s. Socialist upwelling was so strong that the powers that be allowed FDR to win 4 terms versus the alternative, actual dismantling of the capitalist system. Looks like history is repeating, but like with fucking losers

    Let’s not forget that before trump came onto the political scene america was a bubbling cauldron of corruption, just not so much blatant and out in the open as it is nowadays. It’s greed and capitalism that makes america what it is.

    idiots continue to blame dems for reps make their own bad adult choices as if dems are some sort of palliative nurse that keeps losing their unrestrained patient.

    i wonder if these be the same idiots that yell about how voting lesser evil is not a choice.

    still not as idiotic as the both-sides crowd. close tho.

    anything but hold the voters responsible for voting for this stupid shit to happen.

      With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?

      the both-sides crowd

      There’s two sides, alright. But it’s not a partisan split. John Fetterman has more in common with Donald Trump than nearly any of his constituents.

        I only want to see progressives that are literally being screamed at by everyone around them that are democrats and republicans. That proves that unpopularity that progressive isn’t blue maga or red maga.

        Anyway, vote R if you want this type of rage inducing progressive to ascend to our ultimate leadership. In Bernies name amen.
