Is someone on here saying the working class in America has it better than the republic of Ireland’s?

Tbf he did say you had to behave yourself lol

Not just VP; RNC chair and other top RNC officials. It is now mainstream GOP

It's just so dangerous to even entertain this stuff. And I literally mean "entertain", not "consider it to be a worthwhile thought worth considering". It's like the party knows they aren't going to win anything going forward legitimately so they are just lighting everything on fire like Sherman's Retreat.

If that was Sherman retreating, I sure wouldn’t have wanted to see him on the offensive.

We live in a hellscape Jay, I didn't realise it either. Get your flamethrower guitar and I'll pick you up at Heuston Station in 20 minutes

Oddly enough, doesn't happen in Ireland. Other things that don't happen here include mass shootings in schools, police blasting unarmed people to kingdom come, mass protests, federal agents teargassing crowds of disaffected people, you know, things like that. America pays for their "opportunity", you're just one of the lucky ones that doesn't see the tax

Or people going bankrupt if god forbid they get sick or have a sick/disabled child. Or just having a child for that matter.

The most backwards 'developed' country in the west.

Oh man, I messed that up. For some reason could have sworn it was a "if I can't have it, nobody can" idea from the Confederates, not the Union. My bad..

General Sherman was the only one who treated the Confederacy the way it should have been treated. I'd name every fort after him.

This Woodward book is so sad. Mostly because there isn't a single thing that will make these Trump people vote against him.

That thing doesn't exist to begin with. You could post up a video of Trump sexually molesting a child and one of his cultists would post the gif of Biden with his hands on that girl's shoulders in response. He is simply beyond criticism for them

The thing is, Cuban Americans have a very different relationship to the US compared to most countries. A lot of them are descendants from the crooks who benefitted from US rule and annexation of Cuba. It's a very different dynamic. It's a challenge for Biden, and most democrats in Florida, but other than Florida things are going well for Biden. The message about him being a socialist is cutting through their, but at the expense of other regions.

Yes, that's obviously true, but it is the much larger swing toward Trump among non-Cuban Latinos that should be concerning, especially if it holds true elsewhere.

It really will not take many Latinos and African-Americans either shifting their votes or staying home (which polls don't detect) to tip the balance. Democrats have taken both for granted for decades, at their peril.

For the good of the U.S. the establishment there need to be stepping in and make ballot boxes from Trump stronghold precincts and districts in swing states 'go missing'.

Just get the loony out, or there'll be civil war and 4 million dead from Covid19. By any means necessary.

Thought this is interesting, as it has bearing here too. Just despicable all around. "I got mine, screw you" even tho MANY of the ones they would be hurting would be their base. Which would make them hate Democrats more should they win because "the Democrats ain't doing nothing to help me and my kin!"
