No borders? Guys the Dems aren’t that left
Also, don’t the Dems want to let girls NOT have balls? Its the Republicans who get grumpy when Trans women get gender affirming surgery.
Obama doubled the amount of border patrol agents. Which seems like a much better use of money than a wall, at least according to… the border patrol.
*The amount of border patrol doubled while Obama was in office. It might seem pedantic but it is not. Anything like this requires Congress to approve the budgetary increase which means it happened because of multiple parties not just the White House.
Under his lead. You are being pedantic. It was part of his states goals and platform. And his party overwhelmingly voted for it.
Traditionally border patrol pushes have been failures, they get more staff but generally super underqualified and often times cartel linked. Yes it’s a better use of money but training the ones we have to actually be effective is better use.
My point is more that you cannot say it is because of Obama when Congress has to sign off on it as well. It’s like blaming Reagan for the tax cuts of the 80’s when the Democrats controlled Congress and passed those bills.
Pretty sure that’s the joke - if only the dems were as progressive as the cons make them out to be…
(that’ how I took it anyway)
Don’t threaten me with a good time!
tired: truck nuts
wired: girl balls
Republicans are the ones who keep trying to make those girls still have balls
But also don’t threaten me with a good time

I normally hate the Democratics due to them being just being the lesser of two evils but I must say this makes them look great
Yeah, the Dem leadership in the minds of Republican demagogues (but I repeat myself) are many times better than the ones in reality, always have been.
That’s it, i’m moving to the US right now.
Bro you had me at no borders
I was interested at no borders, they had me at balls.
they had me by the balls at balls
It’s not really the balls I’m interested in caressing.
I actually love that I can’t tell if this is for or against the Dems
I have to assume it’s supposed to be against, because nobody who actually votes Democrat thinks that’s what they support
Dude! You already struck oil! No need to keep digging.

You got the same attitude as those guys who eventually get exposed for being a raging homo, caught in a big gay orgy…
deleted by creator
what exactly about my short comment made you assume my whole ‘attitude’?
Didn’t necessarily have to be your short comment. It was probably all the other alt-right shit in your comment history and the fact that you moderate “MakeLemmyGreatAgain” ffs
Idgaf what consenting adults do.
Everyone you vote for does, so by proxy you do as well because you’re supporting those platforms. Don’t backpedal your stance because you don’t like the taste.
“IDGAF what consenting adults do, BUT IF THEY GAY/TRANS, THEN THEYRE WRONG, NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS”

I get along with anyone independent of their beliefs
Remind me how you started this comment chain? Something about how you respect and wish to befriend people despite disagreeing?

Do you have gay friends or do you know gay people that you consider friends? Im asking this because as a bi guy I find more than a few conservatives think Im their friend when I wish they were better people and do not at all see them as friends. Friends do not support parties whose stated goals are to make their friends be less equal under the law which the GOP has explicitly stated.
Obviously I don’t know you or them but I wouldn’t be surprised to find they don’t consider you a friend

Again, your comment history is visible. Your account is only seven days old and you’ve already laid out clear political leanings with your comments. You may not be an official Republican because you can’t vote for them as a non-American but you certainly agree with all their stances which is enough for me to know you’re kind of a piece of shit. Good luck with that.

Which ones do you agree with?
Explain
A cult is defined as a small religion. There’s nothing wrong with being in a cult. Dionysus had a realy awesome cult 3000 years ago.
deleted by creator
That definition was invented by christians seeking to destroy small religions through stigma. It’s on the same tier as the witch hunters defining a witch as an evil sorceresss. Obviously made up and fake, obviously pushing a harmful agenda.

Since the 1940s, the Christian countercult movement has opposed some sects and new religious movements, labeling them “cults” because of their unorthodox beliefs. Since the 1970s, the secular anti-cult movement has opposed certain groups and, as a reaction to acts of violence, frequently charged those cults with practicing mind control. Scholars and the media have disputed some of the claims and actions of anti-cult movements, leading to further public controversy.
In the English-speaking world, the term cult often carries derogatory connotations.[14] In this sense, it has been considered a subjective term, used as an ad hominem attack against groups with differing doctrines or practices.[9][15] As such, religion scholar Megan Goodwin has defined the term cult, when it is used by the layperson, as often being shorthand for a “religion I don’t like”.[16]
Like I said, Christians invented the new definition due to hate. We shouldn’t use it.
if girls with balls is a cult consider me a cultist :3
*Vote Democratic.
Vote Democrat is just bad grammar.
Democrats are one of the two parties in the US so “vote democratic” doesn’t make sense. How else would you vote?
Democrat is a noun. Democratic is an adjective. You can say “vote for a Democrat,” but you can’t say “vote Democrat” because you’re referring to the Democratic Party where “Democratic” is the adjective. In that case, it would be “vote Democratic.”
Republicans love to use slurs like “the Democrat Party.” That’s probably where you’ve heard it.
This is just grammar nazi bullshit. Give me empirical evidence that anybody would say “Vote Democratic”. It’s a phrase I’ve never heard but I’m not American and not a native speaker. The authority lies with native speakers but not language purists who think they are better than others.
Not trying to be better than anyone, and I do agree that it may not be the biggest of deals. But I’m a native speaker, and I’m just pointing out the grammar part and making people aware that it’s a Republican epithet.
Here’s an article about it for your enjoyment: https://www.npr.org/sections/publiceditor/2010/03/26/114585414/since-when-did-it-become-the-democrat-party
First: I’m sorry for having mistaken you for a jerk. There have been a lot over on r*ddit and here I have seen them too, but you aren’t one of them and I’m sorry.
Second: I’m still not convinced either. It doesn’t say “Vote the Democrat party”, I see now how this would be wrong. Adjectives always stay before a noun (or at the end of a sentence after a form of to be). In the case of “Vote Democrats”, “vote” is the verb and “Democrats” the object and therefore a noun (in contrast to “democratic votes” were votes is a noun and democratic the adjective).
Sure, the post doesn’t say that neither. “Vote a Democrat” or “vote your local Democrat” would work but a singular without an article of any kind not so much.
Thanks for the response. I appreciate it. It’s ok to agree to disagree. Especially on a minor issue like this.
I usually do but I haven’t got my balls yet where are they
*Vote Democratic
