Thanks pileus. Corporate Democrat Madness Syndrome (CDMS) is a great assessment of sidd's biased reporting.
On the other hand, sidd doesn't live in a bubble surrounded with people who have the same tastes and opinions as him.
And he does not seem to be the only one on this forum.
Somehow these guys are determined to destroy the Democratic Party, apologize for Putin and have not one bad word to say about the alt-right.
Again, I would like to see the Democratic Party saved (I can't save it myself, being non-American), because it's the only way meaningful change can come about. A third party is too difficult to set up and most of the Republicans are corrupt sociopaths. The only thing that stands in the way of making the Democratic Party a vehicle for meaningful change, is Corporate Democrats, their consultant buddies and their corrupt system, geared towards keeping progressives and people who want to represent the people out of positions of power.
I don't apologize for Putin - even though western media paint an exaggerated picture of him to promote the new red scare -, but try to make a rational assessment of what it would take to force Putin to do what I want him to do. Risking a nuclear war for the 'truth' doesn't seem like a rational course of action, especially as it plays right into the hands of forces that want war and conflict to keep control over the peoples of the world.
The alt-right is largely irrelevant, but even if it wasn't, there'd be not much use discussing it on a forum where everyone agrees about what the alt-right is. Obsessing over the alt-right is a distraction, meant to divide and polarize.
You know, Rob, resistance isn't about being against something, but actually about being
for something. The latter is more difficult, as it requires introspection and a world view based on universal morals and principles, regardless of tribe. It's always easy to find an enemy if you want one. But you yourself are your biggest enemy.
