View original postDon't they need to actually win first? Eating your allies for ideological purity reasons is part of a logical progression that sort of makes sense if you cross your eyes and squint while you consider it, and has historical examples as you point out.


View original postDoing it while the other side has control over all three branches of government and most of the state governments is nuts.

I don't imagine it happens on purpose. Sounds fairly unpleasant.

It doesn't surprise me, unfortunately. Too much idealism/Utopianism/etc on one side. That's part of the issue I have with Corbyn (UK) as well.

The funny thing about violence is you can't control it. Tom - 14/06/2017 04:31:35 PM 1281 Views
So you thought that would scare me Tom? Roland00 - 14/06/2017 09:30:34 PM 1240 Views
The aim was not to scare anyone. It was to show that violence is not controllable. Tom - 15/06/2017 04:24:12 AM 1264 Views
I thought everyone already understood that? I was wrong? Roland00 - 15/06/2017 10:26:04 PM 1334 Views

I think the gunman has more in common with people who beat their wives than Bernie Sanders Roland00 - 14/06/2017 09:08:54 PM 1167 Views
Do we know conclusively Bernie doesn't beat his wife? *NM* Tom - 15/06/2017 04:24:54 AM 666 Views

That's not correct. Tom - 15/06/2017 04:19:06 AM 1265 Views

It's only nuts if you see the left as a single group that can be led and controlled. Legolas - 15/06/2017 09:04:05 PM 1134 Views
