Well Blacklab really lays down the law on the recruiting threads.

Probably not the one who has the power of 1 out of 435 versus POTUS.

But you knew that. 

You're just an idiot. 

I think we should discuss authoritarianism in the context of socialism. Let's start by defining our terms.

Anybody want to take a stab at socialism?

A president can be authoritarian insofar as he has the ability to issue orders, control the military, and act unilaterally when Congress has ceded power to the executive.

I have no idea how a member of Congress can be authoritarian. The individual power of a United States Representative  is extremely limited. Even if AOC were an authoritarian, there's not much she can do about it.

Pretty sure Surly polls are required to have a 'EABOD/DIAF' option. Why not done???

Same with the GOT no bookfags thread, which I've always appreciated. Back in the early days the bookfags were the worst.

That's a low blow, bro.

 

According to Alex Jones, the Trump administration has multiple black sites in the US and are detaining political dissidents.   Guess Trump stopped returning his calls.  

Why did y’all bump this smishsmortion?

The idea that AOC is in anyway remotely near the freaking neighborhood of “authoritarian” is comically stupid.

AOC wants to ban 25% of the economy and force everyone to bike to work, that's not authoritarian?

As he should; this place is a shithole though so he’s better off leaving it alone.

That bug-eyed bitch is a statist bootlicker, but she’ll never have power because she’s a complete fucking lunatic.

A., but by the slimmest of margins. C. would be anyone who uses the term "statist" unironically.

Just so we're working from the same frame of reference, please define, "statist bootlicker."

She’s an authoritarian bitch that is obedient to the pseudoscientific know-it-all leftist cunt class.  Simple enough for you?

I work in manufacturing, so I’m all for Trump getting 4 more years.  We’re stacking paper, buddy.  Why would I want more establishment cuntiness in charge to wreck the country again!?  I’ll hang up and listen...

He made a simple, declarative statement. Your inability to comprehend the meaning doesn't render it gibberish. It's more of a statement regarding your ability to understand the written word.

She aspires to be Nicolas Maduro. It's not really a complex idea. I think people are smart enough to understand it, they are just unwilling to understand it.

There are two key issues on this planet moving forward and climate change is one of them.  It's science.  Phrenology is pseudoscience.  Climate change is pretty simple.  

Not sure what "cunt class" is.

You don't know she's a socialist? What have you been doing for the last six months? Where have you been and what business do you have posting on a thread about AOC if you have no idea who she is?

What SPECIFICALLY is your problem with her position on climate change?  I don't think Maduro is doing much about climate change.  Does that mean you like Maduro?

 

Seems like there's a problem with broad brush labeling.
