I watched the entire Nevada Democratic candidates debate. All were 100% negative about everything. Not one had anything favorable, positive or optimistic about anything - not about the future (we are doomed), not about the country (it is the most evil greedy country in the world), about Americans (racists, desperately poor, all are suffering), or economic system (except Bloomberg, capitalism is evil)...

Nothing but prophets of doom, of victimhood, or hate, fear, negativity. The thought of being stuck in a van with them on a road trip - with the exception of maybe Bloomberg - would be pure misery. At least with Bloomberg there could be some non-PC jokes.

BTW, why is it ok to incessantly attack Trump personally including for being fat, physically repulsive, balding, using makeup/spray tan etc - but if you do the same towards a woman you are pure sexist scum? The Democratic Party exists for total hypocrisy and completely depressingly negative and paranoid on nearly everything.
 
The OP is a 100% negative on the Dems, yet the Dems are the ones who are offering a positive future.

Anyone who is defending Trump's physical and mental attribute from attack in light of how he attacks others is such manner is a twit.
 
This after 8 years of trashing Obama.

Nope. Dems were positive about the country, about economic system and capitalism (except Bernie), about Americans (lots of talk of uniting). They were arguing on which one is best and attacking each other as is normal in all primaries, Dems and Republicans, and will be the norm in general election.

Trump attacks 90% of people he speaks about whether in election period or not (unless they are a dictator).

Provide a SINGLE example clip from Nevada debate where this happened. I did not watch all of it but I don't recall any instances of your claim.
 
The candidates spent most of their time explaining to us why we shouldn't vote for them.

So, IOW, you're openly admitting that you didn't actually watch any of it.

Since that's the case, why bother posting about it?

What liberals? Progressives. Progressives aren't liberals. They are the antithesis of liberals. Progressivism is fascism.

Many Democrats always claim that the Democratic Party didn't even exist until this very moment. Thus, principles and practices, history and actions, all are 100% irrelevant. It is only words said at the moment that matter. Everything else irrelevant.

I was referring to the OMG! about what Bloomberg - as a non-politician -allegedly said about the appearance of some women, while Democrats - non-politicians - make extreme attacks against Trump's appearance as a man. Thus, I point out the hypocrisy. If a man can be insulted for his appearance, so can a woman.

So candidates who never insulted Trump based on looks are upset that Bloomberg insulted women based on looks and you find it hypocritical. Got it.

1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
10. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition." It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

Saul Alinsky's 13 Tried-and-True Rules for Creating Meaningful Social Change | Open Culture

Democrats are risking a Rule #7 violation but only because they are wallowing around in Rule#6 as applies to a rather small percentage of their base.
 
I watched it too. It was delightful. Iv'e never seen such a bloodbath on a debate stage.

We made popcorn!! :popcorn2:


Their defeat in November will be a self-fulfilling prophesy.
 
blah blah blah China blah blah blah socialismn Talk sense, please.

Whoever is talking AlinskyRules, just stop, because you have no idea about what you are saying.

The smashing Dem victory in November, grinding Trump and the Republicans into the mud, is so satisfying to happen on a daily basis right to election day.

Thought bubble floating over Bloomberg during the debate:

"I spent $400 million to be here?"

Nope.

Progressivism is a political philosophy in support of social reform. It is based on the idea of progress in which advancements in science, technology, economic development and social organization are vital to the improvement of the human condition.

What part of actual progressivism do you oppose?

It's OK to attack Trump because he's always the one to throw the first punch. He gives it out royally, and that's what he gets back. That's how it works.

Most females don't deserve to be belittled for being themselves. Most females are defending themselves from the male birds of prey.

Thank you for proving my point.
