    You do realize both parties are made up of people, right?
    And if the Democratic Party in the 1960s decided to change and the *people* in that party didn't like that change and those *people* moved to the other party that was willing to take up those same ideologies that previously were part of the Democratic party, then those *people* change the Republican party to be like the old Democratic Party, then guess what? It's no longer the Democratic Party that favors all the things you think are part of the Democratic Party.

    Is that clear enough for you?

    Physical activities have judges.
    Message boards have rep, and posters agreeing.
    My track record of putting your face in the mud is consistent.

    He'll never accept that.
    Never.
    His identity is tied up in it, so it's not about processing a body of facts, it's whether or not he's a bad person, and his self-narrative won't allow for that.

    They don’t care about you, they care about your vote. Don’t be delusional.

    So if UA, Paladin, OF, Ryan and Chaos Descending all agree with me, that means I stomped your ass?

    I mean, you're threading the needle there.
    That'd be quit a get for you to get all of them.
    And no one in leftforge helps me out?
    And you only pull it off once?
    You've got a bigger mountain to climb than that.

    So the Squad isn’t calling for equality of outcome and Sanders didn’t praise communist Cuba, I’m just imagining that?

    Find me a link that isn't Fox or Brietbart.
    Cuz I'd actually be entertained to see them say that.

    You could award yourself full marks in reading comprehension and figure it out.

    The squad and Bernie Sanders don't have enough power or support to implement what they want to implement

    They're pretty close to irrelevant

    You're focusing on the little things that annoy you and not looking at the big picture

    LOL, you're kidding no-one. You use third-party/Independent status to claim plausible deniability, but we can all smell the GOP stench on you. No matter how hard you scrub or how coconut-scented you THINK Ron Paul or whoever is the Independent smell-of-the-month is.

    Adults know how to communicate with brevity. Kids prattle on.

    But if you want it explained slowly - as one would to a child - then I could do that.

    Just be aware you're further proving the point I was making.

    I don't know what you are trying to say. I know what "the Squad" and Sanders have discussed. But, it's not anything like "equality of outcome". Which is why I asked *you* as it seems to me to be how you have interpreted what has been said. I'm asking what is it that you are interpreting to mean 'equality of outcome".

    I mean, it IS just plausible that he has the brain of a parrot and would LIKE to be independent but just has to squawk out any old shite he sees on TV.

    His track record with YouTube might lend support to that hypothesis.
