US Politics

Joe Crowley was the congressman of my district, and I was rooting for him to win, more so because he recently stood up against a protected bike lane proposal on two corridors and took the side of the community. The Department of Transportation, a bunch of crazy far-left progressive activists, and the Mayor were trying to force these bike lanes down our throats despite a huge outcry, and we pushed back enough where Joe Crowley said no and our local councilman ended up not supporting the project. Now with Crowley gone, the snowflakes who demand these bike lanes might become emboldened again.
That being said, I’m not at all surprised that Ocasio-Cortez won. Her campaign posters WERE EVERYWHERE! And I mean EVERYWHERE! Every single grocery store or storefront in my neighborhood had her poster up. Even my local grocery store had her poster up, and when I went to the owner (who is a good friend) and asked him if her followers asked him permission to put it up, he said, “Yea, they told me they just wanted to put a poster on my window, and I said yes.” When I told him about her politics and that she was for the bike lanes with all the progressive crazies, he immediately ripped it up and took it down.
And the funny thing is, the poster was up on his window along with an ad for Joe Crowley. Just by walking around the neighborhood, I saw how bland Crowley’s campaign posters were. They were few and far between in number, and I had a sense for the last three months that he was woefully unprepared for the tidal wave that was going to hit him.
Many of these storeowners who put up Cortez’s posters had no idea who she was or what she stood for. Her election, in large part, was successful due to a very well-designed PR and propaganda campaign. The activists who worked for her went door to door putting up these ads, and all they had to do was ask permission from the business-owners. If that wasn’t enough, people were actively stopping pedestrians on the street and campaigning for her at my local park EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.
I don’t know where her funding came from, but big money was definitely backing her. From the T-shirts to the well-designed posters to the glossy campaign cards, something was definitely at work here.
And anyone who thinks that the racial component was not in play here is fooling themselves. Her campaign poster looked like an ad for a political candidate in a Latin American country, and I guess it worked to marvelous effect with the large Hispanic population in this area.
However, what was really bizarre for me was the fact that the overwhelmingly majority of activists who were campaigning for her like a bunch of fanatics were WHITES!
When I see stuff like this, I can’t help but think that whites, especially white liberals, have some sort of in-built suicide complex, where they want to give away their own country to non-whites. It’s absolutely mind-boggling to me. And it’s going to be hilarious watching these whites eventually be pushed out of the Democratic Party and straight into the hands of the alt-right. Ocasio-Cortez’s far-left politics are the future of the Democrats, and if they get their way, America will be well on its way to becoming a third-world banana republic (not that the Republicans are any better).
Make no mistake. This country is in big trouble. There is a lot more I can say about why I’ve come to these conclusions, but in the last three years, I’ve seen enough to believe that some sort of civil war in America is inevitable.
First, it’ll happen along political lines, and then it will morph into a conflict along racial/ethnic lines. I expect that we’ll see clashes between right-wing and left-wing groups in the streets that will be very reminiscent of the bloody left/right battles that defined Turkey in the late 70s and early 80s.
Out of this chaos, we’ll see the military step in and establish martial law. And that’ll be the end of the United States, falling apart like the Tower of Babel before it.

Bike lanes is a crazy far left plot to turn people Gay. The science is out there in the tubes.
 
Barr doing everything he can to keep Flynn out of jail - end of article even suggesting he might only get 1 year probation:

Attorneys for the Justice Department and Michael Flynn asked a federal judge Tuesday to postpone next month’s sentencing for the former Trump national security adviser until after the release of a much-anticipated inspector general report about the FBI’s Russia investigation.

I thought this forum was called RedCafe because of Manchester United, but now I see it's because it's ridden of socialists. Guess you people won't be satisfied until the world goes through a giant Holodomor.

I ain't. But you will be when the new impeachment freak show is another nothing burger and Trump is re-elected.
I know you think it's never gonna happen, but so did Brexit and Trump's first term right?
Anyway, I'd like to seize the opportunity to thank you all for a job well done:

Trump may well get reelected because the Dems can't seem to get their act together.

I know the man who put out the conspiracy theory of the 3 million "illegal" votes and I'm certain it was all bullshit. He could never truly prove it, was being coy about it when pressed on it, and rightfully made to look like a fool for doing so.

Not everyone but yes there are your usual posters there who have bought into every FB meme and believe billionaires should not exist/can sustain our economy by taxing them higher.

Of course the Europeans on here don't help who think America is a rotting wasteland with machine guns in every wallmart.

Nah, it’s totally okay when one extreme helps people and the other fecks them over for the benefit of a vast socioeconomic minority.

A lot of what I support was already being campaigned on by FDR. I guess he was extreme. He shouldn't have criticized Nazi Germany since his views were so extreme. Shamans logic, everyone.

Indeed. Him calling what you’re promoting “extreme” is another instance of his “logic” failing him.

Billionaires should not exist. Is that an extreme position now? By saying that they shouldn't exist I don't mean that we should line them up against the wall (though @Eboue might), but I am absolutely saying that any society where someone can become a billionaire is by definition flawed. No one deserves to be a billionaire. No one has earned a billion through hard work.
 
The American Dream is the greatest con in history, making wage slaves who are being fecked good and proper daily by the ruling class believe that anyone through sheer will and determination can one day be one of them. Meanwhile, society continues to go down the toilet.

Then how have they earned it? Is it a coincidence most billionaires are really smart?

Anyway what's the alternative?
