Progressives (Liberals)

You repeatedly called them cycles, which really irked me because they weren't cyclic. It's your tem, not mine except in reaction to your erroneous use of the term. I'm not responsible for your elective amnesia. I predict you'll be proven wrong in 2020, and I have far more evidence on my side at this point.

It was your incorrect term originally. I reacted to your repeated misuse of the term to justify your prediction. And I predict you will be proven wrong in 2020. I have some evidence, you don't. You merely have your own outlandish wish.

Here are the posts that originally used the term cycle:

None of these posts are by me.

There will be no evidence as to the winner of the 2020 election until the night of the election.

Check back with me on election night 3032 and lets see if the Republicans have just won the White House for the fifth time in a row.

There will be no need to wait until 2032. the GOP will bomb out well before then. Probably in 2020.

We'll see.

Tulsi and Buttigieg are raking in progressive bucks after strong performances at the Town Hall. Dana Bash had knives out for Tulsi, but it backfired. The lady from Hawaii did not falter.

Aye cant.

If that's accurate, it's perhaps not terribly surprising. Both Biden and Sanders have been around for a long time and in that sense, both are rather conservative choices.

Also, both are men.

Actually, I think that is right. But all the problems and complexities will arise in trying to get this done.

A legitimately democratic social contract must arise or change by the will of the majority (North Korea being a prime example of how "social contract" by authoritarianism and propaganda turns out). And as we all know, there are significant sectors of US culture, well funded and highly effective in operation, that will damn near fight to the death to prevent movement in the direction of the sorts of social contract that exist in many European states. The changing views and agreements we see in the younger generation along with the increasing role of women in civic life are absolute necessities but the future ain't clear.

When I went back to school enroute to a five year B Educ degree, I did my first semester at a local college. (It was kind of an experiment - will I loathe school again?) Not everyone will have the same experience as me but the quality of educators at that college was first rate and course choices amazingly varied. I loved that semester!

In no way is Sanders a conservative choice.

Realigning the foundation of the country will, as you imply, not be a cakewalk. I’m concerned about the safety of those, dedicated to pulling it off.

If an asteroid hits the planet, I want it to take out that family first.

I didn't mean the term in that sense. I meant it in the sense of bias in favor of the familiar.

I think the indications are that decline is inevitable. But adjusting society's expectations could make the ride down more comfortable — and more just.

If you mean their physical safety, I'm really not worried about it at all. US political culture is fucked in many ways but assassination of rivals is not a feature of that culture. The attacks are on a person's character or past. That's fair enough so long as they aren't deceitful, propagandist operations.

That's a very good way to say it.

Trump: I would win 98% of the vote if I ran in the Israeli elections

Trump also attacked the Democratic Party, saying that they "hate Jews, I don't at all understand how Jews vote for the Democratic Party."

Remember how Obama bragged about being able to win the Kenyan elections?
So classy!
