    Something I read recently that made me pause for reflection. Probably harsh, but real talk.

    "It's not all of them. But it's always them."


    GOOD DAY

    you really struggle with the definition of communism. The word you are looking for is socialist.

    and i disagree with the government taking a stake in private companies.

    Nadler, Pillar of Democratic Party’s Old Guard, Will Retire Next Year
    Representative Jerrold Nadler, the ex-House Judiciary chairman who helped lead President Trump’s impeachments, will not seek re-election in New York.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/nyregion/jerrold-nadler-congress-retires.html

    excerpt:

    “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Mr. Nadler said, adding that a younger successor “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”

    You really think so?

    I don't think Trump being assassinated would be beneficial to the democratic party cause, amongst other things.

    Oh you know I love going back and forth with you, hold on let me look him up


    all wiki sourced for you big guy


    He has donated $140 exclusively to Democrats and to Tulsi Gabbard

    Routh also supported Bernie Sanders in 2020, criticizing Joe Biden as "Sleepy Joe". In 2024, he expressed concern over democracy in a post tagging Biden, and telling him his campaign slogan should be "Keep America Democratic and Free".[78] In 2020, he also supported Tulsi Gabbard, calling for an executive order on police misconduct[79]

    By early 2024, he suggested a Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy ticket for the Republican primary.

    He registered in North Carolina as an independent voter in 2012.[19][21]

    Routh said he made Donald Trump his "choice" in 2016, but by 2020, he voiced his dissatisfaction, stating, "I will be glad when you are gone."


    Doesn't sound like a standard democratic party guy. Supported Trump/Bernie/Tulsi/Haley/Ramaswamy, definitely a strong populist independent to right leaning grouping of names to me.

    Is there a "downfall of America" thread, or a "mental health monitoring" thread, or a "general crackhead activities" thread? Those could work

    I agree but unfortunately I'm not important or cool enough to start threads, all my threads are exclusively duds. I'll leave it to the professionals

    That bird flies too high for me. I'm looking for more of an ostrich type leader. Do you know any Ostrich's?
