Democrats and Ossoff lose...............again

What do you think the liberal bias theory is?

Uh, is that a trick question? Since you think the media has a liberal bias, maybe it's best if you tell me what you think it means. It isn't exactly rocket science though. I don't even understand why you're asking this question.

 

[fskimospy]

Or that your arrogance has so deceived you that you think your words equal truth by definition. Instead of trying to understand what I'm saying you just mock and lie about it. You were the one talking about a team mentality but all you seem to want to do is win at an argument.

There's no need to take this personally, you've just shown repeatedly in the past that you have no interest in honest discussion so I treat you as you clearly want to be treated. I mock you now because I've tried engaging with you substantively in the past and you've acted like a child.

If you've changed your mind about this that's great but you've got a lot of work ahead of you to convince anyone you're interested in improving your behavior.

Facts have a liberal bias. Everybody knows this.

This is what you said.

"There's plenty in the media that is inconsistent with the liberal bias theory, and very little that is inconsistent with media sensationalism."

I thought you might have a working definition since you think there is plenty that is inconsistent with it.

Wherein woolfe helps illustrate everything I've said about the buckshot sorts he's convinced are just another explanation away from being educated.

 

[imported_tajmahal]

Yes, facts have a liberal bias.

Who said anything about "liberal" bias? I said political bias. Democratic Party bias.

 

[imported_tajmahal]

Yes, conservatives are poor victims of the liberally biased media, poor victims of liberally biased science, poor victims of liberally biased education, poor victims of liberally biased government agencies, poor victims of liberally biased message board moderation, etc, etc.

I have never seen a more pathetic group of entitled whiners than modern American conservatives. Take some personal responsibility for once.

Since you like your political bias, you can keep your political bias. Period.

 

[soundforbjt]

Who said anything about "liberal" bias? I said political bias. Democratic Party bias.

Which party is liberal? That would be the democrats, so yes, Democratic Party bias.

 

[dainthomas]

Then facts are on the democrat's side. At least as related to solutions to the health care issue.

Oh really now? Are you quite certain about what I assume? It's curious how someone who claims to be something approximating the most intelligent human being on the planet misses something so obvious as the fact that Buckshot isn't going to be the only one reading the things I write on this board. For someone whose sole approach to debate is to call all conservatives "degenerates" and "white supremacists" and claim that all liberals other than himself are idiots, I think everyone here can safely take a pass on your advice as to how to handle people like Buckshot, or pretty anything for that matter.

 

[imported_tajmahal]

Neither party is liberal, the Democrats long ago gave it up.

I think you should ask yourself "where are the real conservaties?" I don't see them around. I don't see them taking their fellows to task. I only hear silence. They are complicit as their friends roll and troll along.

 

[Jhhnn]

Neither party is liberal, the Democrats long ago gave it up.

But not nearly so conservative as to suit you, obviously.

Such a tedious troll.

At this point, the existence of these "real conservatives" is pretty much theoretical, because I don't really see them around here, at least not often. However, I was addressing Agent's comments about how he thinks conservative posters should be handled. Namely, with content free insults and nothing else.

holy fuckballs you actually posted something that is more or less accurate!

shit is it Christmas already?

And just because Dems aren't liberal enough to suit you doesn't mean they aren't liberal. Well, unless you're willing to dismiss all the Dems who voted for Bernie & the 2016 platform as well.

Appears to me the people are still giving this Trump thing a try.
At least, not quite ready to go back to the Obama days. Not just yet.
So I guess we'll have to wait and see if and how soon the people tire of this new Trump experiment, or what it takes to change their minds, for them to turn against Trump and turn against the republicans.
Let me see..........
Might it just possibly be this healthcare thing ?

Republicans are about to own healthcare lock stock and barrel as it were.
And that is in itself quite un-natural considering republicans have never cared about addressing healthcare before.
They were fine with leaving it alone in the past.
Allowing the employer-based system to churn and grind its gears, and if that left people out in the cold without any care then so be it.
They believed, either get a job and earn your healthcare, or don't come bother me with your sickie problems.

One thing you have to hand it to democrats, that democrats have somehow turned the tide and forced the republicans to catch this healthcare hot potato.
Especially when republicans had no interest in even playing the healthcare game in the first place.
Good job Nancy Pelosi! Slick move Hillary Clinton! Feel that burn Bernie!
You may have lost but.... have you really ????
Do not the democrats have these republicans just where democrats wanted them?
To take full ownership of healthcare?

Democrats have tried and tried for generations to make national healthcare a reality.
Worked to the bone to get all Americans their universal healthcare just like in Canada or in France.
However, all attempts have failed.
Even Obamacare was no wheres near universal or national healthcare, despite what republicans told us.

But now... oh now... this healthcare hot potato has landed squarely within republicans lap. And it only goes to reason that true universal healthcare for each and every American may be just around the corner.
Yes, maybe just maybe it will be the republicans that finally hand Americans universal healthcare by default.
That they will screw it up so badly that Americans will finally come around and realize universal healthcare is not only the right way to do, it may be the only alternative left once that republicans have taken full control of healthcare.

A thought that probably wake republicans like Paul Ryan up at night in a cold sweat asking, "HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?"
How did we get involved in this spiders web known as healthcare?
And to the extent where we now actually own the damn thing?
Holly Shet Mama Mia, Mama Mia let it not be so....!

Jeez, I guess even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Enjoy the one and likely only thumbs up you're ever getting from me.

 

[Indus]

And if there were a liberal party, they'd win every election for the next 50 years because millenials are liberal.

 

[yoddle]

Like OP says, the Democrates certainly lost, but like all things politics, if the wind can blow one way in one year, they can blow another way in a few years time. Not too long ago people are predicting the GOP will be a minority party, now they control all 3 branches of the government.

But who knows what will happen couple of years or even a year down the line. At the rate the Republicans are spending their political capital like the new Trumpcare that make 23 million loose insurance and make the rich that much wealthier from tax breaks, they may be in the same boat as the Democrates in a few years time.

But hey it's GOP years now, enjoy it while it's your turn to shine.

I think there is bipartisan support for agent's douchebaggery.

 

[Sea Ray]

When was the last time a republican had an actual new idea?

Why amend my comment to "new" idea? Republicans have their ideas and the Dems have theirs.

 

[Sea Ray]

If it wasn't about racism for their base, then racial resentment wouldn't be the best predictor of party affiliation, and their candidates' performance in the primaries wouldn't perfectly correlate to such a metric. It's certainly not income, in which trumpsters do remarkably well.

I mean, christ, the republicans are a white nationalist party where the elite were on the verge of trying to put a visibly hispanic guy up for election. Good thing for them Trump came along to remind the base what they really thought about those mexicans.

Keep it up. I love it! The best way to keep losing elections to Republicans is to keep calling them racists and continue down that path.

 

[soundforbjt]

Because republicans have been pushing the same ideas since St, Reagan. I've seen nothing new from them since.

 

[Azuma Hazuki]

Since the Civil Rights Act, you mean. The GOP's constituency for the last 50+ years has been people who spell--or, really, pronounce--the phrase "black folks" with two Gs in it.
