This is the real story. The shooter got played like us. Democrats would do little more than Republicans to solve our problems. This was actually an unemployed guy going after the elite ruling class. Let Them Eat Cake: Members of Congress 14 Times More Wealthy Than Average American
politicians are more wealthy because they are more successful at their work and have greater skill sets. People wouldn't vote for someone who sucks at their job and has no skills. Would you vote for someone who couldn't hold down a job in the real world?
Use some common sense logic once in a while. Read the Portland shooter's tweets. All of his support for Bernie was economical. He was in support for Bernie's populist banking reform. His SOCIAL ISSUES which were a direct result of the actual murder are aligned with right wing extremism. Why is this such a difficult concept for you to grasp?
Did you actually state this with a straight face. Its obvious by now that ON BOTH SIDES, individual merit has little to do with elected office.
It doesnt matter what political party an extremist supports. Its an ignorant perspective trying to label BLM violent protesters into the general Democrat populace. Its ignorant to label alt-right extremist into the Republican populace. Its ignorant to label extremist Muslims into the general Islamic populace. The reality is extremists have much more in common with each other, regardless of the cause, than the vast majority of the world who want peace. We need to spend less time pointing fingers at each other and start forcing our politicians and leaders to be much more vocal against the violence instead of using it to fan the flames of division.

Because alt righters to the best of my knowledge do not support Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders. secondly, being a loon and holding nazi views didn't seem to stop him from becoming another in the line of radicalized Bernie People. One of which just shot up congress. This is the real story. The antifa thugs have several nazi views and tactics, calling them alt right seems misguided.
The Portland guy followed Bernie about the pipeline, then dropped him for racist Trump - the guy is a loon. But he is not a Bernie supporter, no matter how many times you say "Mission accomplished" people are still dying. DD
Hear Hear - now what do you think about Trump? Why does he only come out and say things against people like yesterday and ignores other acts from his supporters? DD
Nothing you state makes any rational sense. Antifa also is known to support Muslims and mass migration. They have literally the opposite ideology of nationalism. The Portland shooter would be ideologically on the opposite spectrum of Antifa when it comes to migrants and non white people in general.
I think I was pretty rational and explained the problem with Bernie People clearly. I think saying the percentage of alt righters who support jill stein are the ones who are nazis makes no sense by pretty much everyone's definition of alt right.
Crazy guy was crazy. All over the map. He's more a pure neo-Nazi that alt right. He made references to swearing "by Odin" and creepy s**t like that. He is definitely not a traditional fiscal conservative in any sense. He doesn't align with liberals on any social issues. If you only read his tweets about Hillary Clinton and muslims, you'd think he was Dei. He wanted to eject every Muslim from the country. He was batty for Bernie, but imagine someone who talked like Dei posts, and supported Bernie... I'm not sure he really would have been happy with what he got from Bernie. I certainly don't think Bernie Sanders would have taken anything like his stated position on Muslims. He had a really creepy obsession with circumcision - he tried in tweets to equate circumcision and abortion. To me the most damning thing was the attempt by a certain subset of the right wing media to sell him to their readers as a prototypical leftists by selectively quoting his pro-Bernie tweets. If you believe the meme (meme in the Richard Dawkins sense, not the "I can has cheeseburger?" internet sense) that the "liberal media" is lying to you and the conservative media is honest - if you take what the conservative media says as gospel truth, you'd be sure that he was a typical socialist liberal conservative-hating Mother Jones reading liberal. Because the truth is, that "honest" conservative media made a conscious decision to deceive their readers early on to make the narrative sound better to them. When I see a couple of hardcore conservatives around here still trying to sell that, I assume they are still eating what their media masters have been feeding them as unvarnished absolute truth. They are doing exactly what they accuse everybody who watches the "lying liberal media" of doing. They deserve your pity, not your anger. "There are none so blind as those who will not see."
Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Right wing posters are blaming the 'left' wing' and liberal posters are arguing that premise. I guess that means you changed your mind and now agree with RL that one of use is capable of terrorism.
It was directed more at the Let Them Eat Cake post but I knew you wouldnt pass up a shot to knock my intelligence. My peace offering of a beer from a few pages back is still available.
Of course the political climate that Trump has set has a lot to do with this, the negative legislation against the poor of this country is causing frustration. There is a reason that more of this violence will happen, people are frustrated that the elected officials are lining their own pockets at their expense, and they are at a breaking point. And yes, that is the RIGHT'S side of the equation. DD
Oh were you responding to my post? I wasn't aware it said anything about "the right." I even think the terms "left" and "right" are largely undefined and meaningless. So, care to elaborate on how I blamed the right?
