That's OK as long as they are making the "idiotic choices" for themselves. They're not. They're making them for us.
Shirley you jest.
Let's reverse the tables. Until Trump, it would be perfectly reasonable to assume most Republicans are idiots. Look at the pre-Trump "leaders" of the party: Ryan, McCain, Romney, Bohner, Michael Steele, Graham, etc. It was a cornucopia of dolts, yes-men, and appeasement monkeys.
We all know Democrats. Many of them are decent people, and probably empathize with conservative/rational thought...they don't like ISIS, they don't like guttural entertainment, and probably have a shotgun or two in their home. They may have had parents who were Dems and haven't changed registration. They probably despise one or two conservative policies (taxes, regulation, abortion) and that keeps them pulling "D" (no jokes).
But... they don't like where their party leadership is taking them and like Republicans in 2012, they feel there isn't much that can be done except for not give money to the DNC.
The time is now to strike, to win back these Americans who aren't part of the 12-16% vocal left that give money to Pacifica radio. But calling them idiots isn't a good start....
Yes.
There are two types of Democrats: (1) idiots and (2) crooks.
Democrat politicians are crooks who recognize that they can take advantage of the idiots.
Cal Assemblyman Rudy Salas has a 28% ACU rating.
Nothing to write home about, but it implies they are capable of occasionally voting the right way.
The actual title of the article is:
“Is it possible to be a democrat and not be an a$$hole?”
Although this is an intirely different question, many of the same answers will still apply.
” Tom Steyer, who made his fortune in oil and gas, called Donald Trump’s action a “traitorous act of war.” “
Some of these leftist f**%%ers had better start watch their mouths because their anger issues seem to command their words more than their brain.

In todays age ... if you are a leftist you are either a total imbecile ... a whitey hating freeloader ... an America hating traitor ... or a wanna be despot elitist or some combination of these.
Steve Glazer, who is my State Senator, has continuously tweaked Governor Moonbeam and the Union thugs that own the State Government in Sacramento, lock, stock and barrel.
He was forced to resign the chairmanship of the committee he headed (what it was is neither important or relevant) a month or so ago. His crime? He refused to vote for an increase in gasoline tax (aka the 2017 Moonbeam Slush Fund) because he wanted a rider on the bill that would make it illegal for BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) unions to strike. Sort of like unions at all the other public transportation systems state-wide currently have in place.
I imagine that he will be targeted by the left and the unions in 2020, when he is up for re-election. Until then, we might just have a Democrat in Sacramento that listens to ALL of his constituents, not just the ones waiving mega-bucks at them.
I love your Sam Adams quote, but if we sat down at social clubs with Leftists, they would argue that a lack of Leftist paternalism at the Federal (and now Global) level will result in grievous abuses of both people (and the planet) at the local/state level.
To rephrase it, Right-wing tyrannies would develop at the state/local level if Leftist tyranny were not a counter-weight to it at the national and global level. This is the essence of how all my Leftist colleagues think.
Difficult if not impossible.
some dims spew irrational emotionalism intentionally just as a way to gain power in their neck of the woods
Just wander around the “inner city” sometime and the question will be answered.
“Not after the 1970s. That was the last hurrah for sanity in the dem party.”
The Democrats of the early 1970’s would be middle of the road Republicans today. The political center is drifting left due to the Overton Window.

Certainly, look at Bill Clinton. He uses drugs, he rapes women, he has traveled at taxpayer expense to play hundreds of rounds of golf with the course deserted for his use, he has supplied himself with security for the rest of his life that the taxpayer is paying for where he wishes to live, and makes millions telling people how to live their lives, and he’s nothing more than a dishonest idiot that did what he was told by people like George Soros under the guise of Saul Alynski leading to his just as idiotic and dishonest wife to being a senator and living where she wants with the same financial situation and opportunities not caring for or about anyone but themselves, and not really about each other. They are idiots, but other idiots are supporting them.

I registered as a Democrat so I could vote against Hitlery in the primary.>>>> very funny. i have done that mostly in the past as i live in philly. This year however i registered republican so i could vote for trump. i enjoy voting for the democrat nutcases here.
Nope.
A requirement for democratism is leftism. The requirement for leftism is an inability to relate cause to effect over time.
