I firmly subscribe to what Winston Churchill said.

“Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.”


All power corrupts, but at least we get a chance to throw the bums out every couple of years and put in a new set of bums.

You are right I didn't. I wasn't actually referring to your post. Note that I didn't quote you. I did mention Cambridge Analytica because I read your post.

My post was about the article I linked in the Federalist. And it is all about how Democrats would like to change the playing field when they lose.

As to Cambridge Analytica and the use of data mining, well it's a brave new world. Just ask the people over at Google, Facebook and Twitter.

Well actually if someone sees this and thinks that it is serious they have no idea how things work. I thought it was a joke, which I'm pretty sure it was intended to be. But yea if it is not a joke then sure.

The fact is - we are all totally lied to.
How should one decide there?!?
Quite simply - who spreads the greatest evil should automatically be the target of a massive resistance; if necessary with force of arms.

Unfortunately, feudalism has returned.
If they do not surrender, the fight against these parasites is inevitable.
We must use force of arms to force them to prevent this qualitatively absolutely abnormal as well as inferior build-up of capital bubbles.

If these parasites do not stop at the common good, there is only one option.

She and her unholy descendants are killed.



Fight against oppression and exploitation!!!

Eh? Who exactly are these parasites? The capitalist overlords or the welfare dependents? Exactly how are you being exploited? Specific details, please.

Of course its a joke. Besides, nothing would stop Congress from impeaching the both of them if they were to try such shenanigans. You figure if they had the votes for it once they'd sure have them a second time.

Seems people listen to Trump's incitements..

"In the last 24 hours alone, bombs have been mailed to the homes of billionaire George Soros, Hillary and Bill Clinton, and the office of Barack Obama—basically, the three biggest boogeymen in the world according to rightwing conspiracy theories and Fox News."

^ As well as CNN's New York office.

And of course, people like Alex Jones have already labeled these as false-flag operations to gather sympathy for Dems ahead of the midterms.

It's probably because that's exactly what the are. The left should be happy to know that not many will be able to read anything by Alex Jones since many conservative alternative news accounts have been removed from social media.


How do you get those addresses anyway? It's not really surprising after the Kavanaugh witch hunt showed what they're capable of in trying to get their way
