    Actually it’s all true.

    There's a difference between something being untrue and someone refusing to believe the truth.

    I’ll just leave it at that because trying to convince someone of something they are unwilling to believe is a fool’s mission.

    Lol! The strategy was to sell the Democrat party as conservative, to conservatives.

    "...reduce taxes on the middle class...", "...border security", "...reign in inflation...".

    LMAO!

    They campaigned like Trump was the incumbent, proposing solutions to existing problems.

    2 problemos though:

    1. As per uge... libs promising gov solutions to problems they created...through government...

    2. They're FOS from top to bottom. They're going to spend spend spend, and blow up the debt even more, thereby aggravating inflation even more; they're going to continue deteriorating the middle class, in order to make more ppl dependent on gov--so they can play hero to the dependents they creste; and they're hoping to continue to flood the country with new Democrat socialist voters by keeping the border nice and porous...

    ...and all we can do is cast our measly little vote, in hopes of stifling Beijing's plan to for us to carry out our own national suicide, to clear the path for a world run from Beijing.

    ^^^and that's aside from the bs sales pitch with the cowboy hats, football coach bs, and feel good pretend patriotism they were using to target middle America, whom they heretofore disdained as racist redneck rabble...

    Personally, I'm quite shocked you didn't like what was said at the DNC . It's almost like you just watched so you can get upset

    We have two conservative parties in this country, are you just finding this out? Almost everything at the DNC would not be out of place in a Republican convention in the early 90s lol. Except the gay stuff, and that's what gets you guys the most fired up. This is the party advertising to its most reliable partisans and when you have it in your mind they are a bunch of communists, you have to make up weird things to cope.

    We have to pretend conservative parties--one far less conservative and than the other.

    Yes, the Republicans are less (lower case) conservative. They are basically right-wing Bolsheviks lol.

    Say you haven't watched her speech without saying you haven't watched her speech.

    Idk. Same reason I frequent this place. Guess im the proverbial glutton for punishment.

    Politics is an addiction. Ruins you from the inside, yet ppl continue to consume it.

    ...and here we ALL are...

    Cest la vie.

    I'll at least take my authoritarianism with a touch of social freedoms. Thus I continue to vote Dem until further notice.

    Well, I guess I am jaded, because I don't really believe anything that is written or shown on Television or in print. I go by what I experience as a fellow American. If that makes me wrong I guess I am wrong. It's hard to decipher what is truth and what is not. Then I have really bad memory and cognitive issues among other things. For example, I can't remember the Gators players names and who we play when I have to look it up week to week. So I apologize.

    Like its not "conservative" when you think most of the US government, schools, corporations, institutions etc. need to be "de-wokeified" for your ideology to flourish.

    My friend, I understand your conundrum, but Jan 6th should be an automatic disqualifier. You just can’t have that.
