Tennis great Martina Navratilova until recently had long been coronated as a social justice trailblazer. She was one of the first marquee celebrity athletes to come out as gay, and then to advocate lesbian issues in and out of sports. But suddenly the icon seems out of step with her progressive legend status.

That Bernie wants to take things away from rich people and redistribute them to the poor in his view should negate the now bothersome fact that, in the new leftist lexicon, he is otherwise just an old white, and rather affluent career politician, still barking at the class-struggle moon.

Once, a politician took us to the moon.

The lovely “Revolution Eats It’s Own” stage is here.

I believe that a lot of good stuff is going on behind the scenes. But, for the general public, President Trump and the GOP are doing “nothing”. They are “not fighting back”. There seems to be virtually no one standing up for the “normals” who make up most of society.

And yet I think the Left is virtually self-destructing. Media companies are failing, celebrities get in trouble doing stupid stuff when they “join the struggle”. The new crop of Democrat firebrands are laughable.

It’s not over yet — many people still think OrangeManBad.

But I think, very soon, Mueller will be old news and Trump will go on the offensive. The Left is about out of bullets and they are bleeding from self-inflicted wounds. On my optimistic days, I don’t think the DNC will even exist in 2021.

Normal people will not support the sickness that is the Left. We just need to turn the lights on, and people will see who we’re dealing with.

“Normal people will not support the sickness that is the Left. We just need to turn the lights on, and people will see who we’re dealing with.”

In the America of my youth, today’s Democrats couldn’t get elected dog catcher.

But, the effects of indoctrination, and a openly leftist biased media is taking it’s toll.

Democrats are still viable, much to my amazement.

I'm seriously considering making a change in how I refer to the Dems and the DNC and the like here on Good Old FR. "Democrats" and the "Democrat Party" clearly no longer fit.

In the long run we will have to go with the "Marxist Party" or the "Communist Party" but, while accurate, is a bit too big a step for me.

The "Socialist Party" would work as well. That's getting closer. In the end I think "Socialist Democrat Party", so popular with failed regimes worldwide, is the correct reference.

Thank you Bernie and Alexandria and the MSM and countless others for helping me make this big decision.

Long Live the "Socialist Democrat Party". Your new motto is "We know we're on the right side of history even though we have lost 10 Presidential Elections in a Row".

“The reprehensible Confederate idea of the whitest...”

Where on earth did he get that? He must have lost his concentration for a moment.

The concept of the “whitest” can not be found in any formal Confederate documents.

The $10,000 question of this insane communist cult of guilt passing, is will the sheeple be willing to pay for the sins of all the crazies with pink hair and of the new self identifying pseudo minorities and of endless spending corrupt government without a peep? - All within an insulting rhetoric of the average guy needing to pay for his sins of privileges he took from said imaginary minorities in an imaginary yesteryear?

I simply do not understand how people are willing to take it from the media and keep slapping themselves in the face for these insane people demanding free sexual organ mutilation procedures and killing babies they blame us for them having them?

Some how some way this psychosis is going to have to go to its term, but sadly, in psychoanalysis, there is no salvation proposed once a patient has gone absolutely nuts and expressed his craziness that way. So it will not end well. We are at a point that either people are going to walk like jews to a death train with these nuts spitting on them on the way there, or there will be a violent push back.

35-year old uncorroborated rumors and allegations.

They were NOT 35 yo rumors. They were newly manufactured allegations regarding a newly concocted fiction.
