Here's the real crisis of democracy and a crisis that was not caused by only Republicans. In fact, this core crisis is being propagandized by you Thom Hartmann, Joe Biden, the liberal media and the Democratic Party. Oh, and in this clip there is one of your lies dispelled when you were shouting me down as spreading Putin's propaganda. Sad to see you become a part of American Empire in order to save Biden's presidency and cover for the militarism and poor judgment of Democrats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fTxHIVUjRc

I'm sure you won't look at the link. And personal attacks are all I hear from Biden liberals, just like the Trumpers. Are you able to address the issues that I am trying to bring to the fore, or like Thom Hartmann will you accuse me of being a propagandist for Putin? As for "bitchin'," I have spent countless hours canvassing and phonebanking for Democratic Party candidates who do not take corporate PAC money as that is the only answer to the corporate alignment of both political parties that is destroying our government and nations around the world.

It's tit-for-tat bitching, blogging on a blog that bitches about Republicans. The trouble is that one bitch is mired in truth, the other in lies. It's up to the voters to figure out which is which by employing common sense, in short supply these days.

If you look at the link the truth is that the Democratic Party is the McCarthy Party, blindly supporting a proxy war with Russia, direct confrontation with China, and destruction of sovereign nations around the world with no room in that party for any dissent or critical thinking. And a liberal base that thinks that losing the House against a degenerate political party is some sort of great accomplishment. What is wrong with this picture of "democracy?"

What is wrong with THIS "picture of 'democracy'" is selective "critical thinking."

Not certain about this but one thing is for sure - democrats are part of 2 party system, which means they dont support any voting, candidates, primaries, etc that arent in the interest if their party having control over candidates.

Here in Ground Zero of the democratic failure - New York State - we have traded in ny-17 a black gay green-new-deal supporting member of Congress for a corrupt Republican head of the republican machinery in New York State. And sean p maloney barely campaigned here, had no discussion of issues, no get out the vote drive at all.

For some reason I can't "like" your honesty but unlike the vast majority of "team blue" members on this board you have hit the nail on the head. They refuse to see it because...well...evil Republicans, Putin and Trump are all that matters.

Hit what nail on the head, that Democrats are evil, bad, no good, out of touch with the base, bad for Democracy, yada, yada?

One thing is certain though: As a lifelong member of "team blue," I for one refuse to see "it" -- YOUR interpretation of OUR party, almost like through the lens of "team red" -- the party of traitors and prophets of false religion and fake democracy, actively destroying real democracy with outright lies. But only a token nod to all of that wingnut bullshit from the good doctor in long screeds against the Democratic Party.

Selective critical thinking is no thinking at all.

Well my friend I'll continue my work for Democratic Party candidates who do not take corporate PAC money and to implement a national health care system, which Democrats continue to actively work against, and you continue your work from your end. Hopefully we will have some time before the health care system collapses and our coasts are underwater before those who leave no room for dissent lead us to World War III.

Oh, so now Democrats are responsible for starting WWIII?! Jesus F. Christ, gimme a fckng break!

Today's Ukraine-Putin disaster was the direct result of the truly idiotic actions of one Donald John Trump, the COVID mass murderer, and the shameless, boot-licking acquiescence and huge failure to act by the Trump-owned Republican Party when it was their time to step into the breach and do the right thing and impeach the rotten sonofabitch! Twice they had their chance and twice they failed the American people and failed the world.

Not a peep, which was a big green light for Trump's BFF to do whatever the fck he wanted in Ukraine. And so he did.

But in the selective re-reading of history by the haters of truth, it's all on the evil Democrats for not abandoning a whole continent of allies to the tender mercies of the world's worst dictator just because he rattles his rusty sabers.

Weak. Very weak! In the eyes of Putin who only backs down when forced, trump was a godsend. Giving into bullies is one way to guarantee WWIII.

But yeah, keep trying to change the history of who's responsible for what. That's always helpful for a serious discussion in the search of a real solution. The crisis in Ukraine was a 100 percent joint operation between Trump, Republicans, and Putin from the get-go.

But they lost the election "bigly" and handed the whole shit show to Biden, blaming him and the Democratic Party for the predictable consequences of the Republicans' own gross stupidity and negligence and shocking foreign policy naivete.

Thank God for Biden in repairing the damage Trump did to our NATO alliance and for mobilizing the rest of the world in opposition, stopping a murderous dictator from overrunning Eastern Europe. Can you imagine the utter carnage had our own murderous dictator stolen the election as planned? Thank God for Democrats whipping up their voters.
