Bloomberg registered as a Democrat today, people speculating if he'll make a run in 2020. Personally hope he does, I liked him as mayor.

He's one of the few people I think can beat Trump. Gracie Mansion vs. Trump Tower FIGHT.

There are a lot of people that can beat Trump. Anyone but Clinton can cruise, he needed the FBI to narrowly defeat her.

Democrats have nothing to sell but hatred, incivility, and the dissolving the constitution. They have stood in the way of all this exemplary economic progress, and they want to replace the population with 3rd world commie loving illegal immigrants.

That is not a winning platform.

3D Model showing the 2016 election results

https://blueshift.io/election-2016-county-map.html

County level 2016 election results

http://i0.wp.com/metrocosm.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/election-2016-county-map.png

Hillary owned the urban metro centers while Donald owned everything else.

This is probably the greatest argument for the EC and why the founders created it in the first place. Without it ten cities would run the entry country and have permanent complete control over the government. Those not associated with those cities would be relegated to second class citizen serfs. Hell the Democrats already treat rural Americans as non-citizens who don't deserve the right to vote, unless their an illegal immigrant.

To the progressives, including the ones in this threat, Jose and Maria who broke federal law and illegally entered the USA without inspection are more important the Sue and Joe six-pack working taxpayers in rural America. And as long as the Democrats are broadcasting that message loud and clear, Sue, Joe and everyone they know is going to vote Republican.

I think the mere fact that the country as a whole bounces back and forth between red and blue control in all branches of the federal government shows just how well the system is working with regards to not allowing the coastal metropolitans nor the inland states to assume all the power.

That being said, where are the all of the calls coming from to destroy that balance? Who wants to stack the Supreme Court? Who wants to destroy the electoral college? Who is the most ticked off that every state is allowed to have two senators? That tells who which side is the most hungry for unfettered power, and is thus the most dangerous.

Thats why we are a union of states. There is literally no reason liberals cannot implement their very own socialist paradise in whatever state they want. Federal power is supposed to be limited by the very founding of the country.

Democrats have abandoned the rule of law in favor of mob rule.

They are not a political party, they are a mob, and they are incredibly dangerous.

Too bad the socialist paradise thing is failing in every state that attempts it.

Nope. No equivalence. There is no underlying right wing mob problem, only left wong mobs.

To state otherwise is probably 1) an attempt to avoid putting blame where it belongs, and/or 2) an attempt to place it where it doesn’t belong.

Leftists have ***the bed and are now insisting someone elese did it.

Plenty of people take me seriously, as is evidenced by the +s i get. Which are more numerous than yours I might add.

Is there anyhing more pathetic than your weak attempt to fabricate a new “social construct” that people don’t like what I say?

Leftism at its finest.

What's dangerous right now is both sides are being pulled toward extremes.
Agreed.

I agree with you that he is wrong about both sides not having mobs. BUt just dismissing everything someone says because you don't agree with them fundamentally isn't helping. You typically just "insert insult" and move on, ignoring him. Do you WANT Nausi to become the new Trump? Because that's how you get a new Trump. =P (trying my best to pull an Archer meme there)

A good Picture
I agree with you, but one gathering of "right sided" people afraid of their culture and rights being erased vs how multitude of "left sided" people afraid of losing their rights and wearing vaginas/afraid of guns/afraid of freedom/afraid of how America works instead of listening to them/shouting at whatever their shepherds riles them up for.

So, I said ONE gathering, as I recall that one with the torches, was a peaceful gathering. Another gathering in the area did not end up so peaceful, with many people to blame, more so with the anti-protesters than the original group protesting. If the anti protesters didn't go to it, could have been peaceful. If they stayed away from the original group, could have been peaceful. If police kept the groups apart, could have been peaceful. Lots of "Could have" but things done to prevent things getting out of hand, were not done.

And Yes yes, anti-protesting is still a right. Does not give the OK to clash with people and start brawls all over the streets, like Antifa does. How many freaking gawd damn protests do the LEFT have that the RIGHT goes and protests and starts ***at???

Know what happens when I see a protest nearby that I don't agree with? I leave them the hell alone and go along with my daily business since they are exercising their protected right to protest. Yes, I leave them the hell alone.

But oh no, a group of two dozen people want to pray in a park, omg, lets mob them with 3,000 antifa thugs that where masks over their faces so THEY don't get outted and found out. Ya, REALLY BALANCED.

My favorite is, group of people so hurt and anguished, they protest at NRA headquarters, to more or less ban guns (all or certain types, who knows with these clowns), but they are protected by armed guards.

Anyways, both sides have issues, Nausi HAS a point the left has Mobs, but wrong the right side has none, Vic HAS No point cuz all he does is troll him with "neener neener boo boo you smell like doo doo" (paraphrasing and well, it rhymes), and Chanti is right, posting a good counter.

Score: Nausi +1, Vic 0, Chanti +2.

Bonus points to Nik when he tells me to get off his lawn for ranting so much.
