2020 Presidential election

It’s fun that your **** argument got called out and you backpedalled being like “of COURSE the contras were worse” when you denied saying this when I pressed you initially.

It's even more fun reading you write revisionist history of this conversation. Go on, find any quote in this thread where I denied the contras were worse. I'll wait. You'll fail, and because you're not mature enough to acknowledge that failure, you'll make up something else instead, or just stick to this same lie, or just disappear.

My dog in this fight was to dunk on you for false-equivocating the Contras with the Sandinistas.

I never made an equivalence between them, outside of saying that I didn't support either side. Go on, try to find where I did. When you fail, you won't have the maturity to acknowledge it, unfortunately.

We’ll ignore the pathetic “how is one to choose between two kinds of oppression— no matter the stark difference!” smooth brained liberal defence because this is obviously something that has to, and continues to happen every ****ing day on the history of the planet.

Should we ignore your support of cold-blooded killers and oppressors of minorities and the press, because they are not as cold-blooded and oppressive as some other group?

Not gonna apologize for my tone when someone spends multiple posts criticizing my personhood and not my arguments. xoxo.

No one asked you to apologize, and I would never expect you to apologize. You seem to feel justified in your lying, and I expect nothing else.

Nor did I criticize your personhood, just your take that "less bad" = "good". By contrast, the actual name calling has been on your part. I suppose it is always easier to see our faults in other people.

I want to thank you for copying in all the posts you were discussing following this. Now, please point out the passage that equates to me denying the contras were worse, or making an equivalence between the contras and Sandinistas.

The part you really object to is, AFACT, saying the contras being worse doesn't make the Sandinistas good. I mean, if you take just a moment to think about the implications of "So, that makes supporting the Sandinistas good?", that is already acknowledging they are less bad than the contras; how else could they be considered good by comparison? You've engaged in an extended pout because you failed to see the implied comparison.

For emphasis, no one is expecting you to apologize. My expectation is that you will try to justify yourself with another self-righteous post. I look forward to it.
 
99.9% in on Biden for the general (if that's the case), I think the only thing he could do to turn me off enough would be picking Bloomberg as a running mate.


Willing to bet it's Mayor Pete as VEEP. He'd have been a fool to drop out and endorse Biden the day before Super Tuesday with a major perk coming back to him.

Plus Pete as VEEP makes the average age of the dem ticket a very respectable 57.5 years old!
 
How old is dalamon?

From the times I sail on through these here parts of the interwebs his default mode seems to be "pointlessly antagonistic to everyone - especially natural allies"

I think you're a lot more likely to see Pete in the cabinet. Two white guys is a bad look for the Dems. That said, I personally think it's in the interests of the party to beef up Pete's resume over the next few years.

Hmm, I'd have to see the odds on that bet. Pete would be a decent choice imo, and I imagine he got a big promise to drop, not sure if that big though.

Tammy Duckworth from IL would be the strongest pick imo.
 
Of course it would have been clear to support the Sandinistas over Somoza and against the Contra counter-revolution. But that was 30 years ago. Since then the FSLN has fragmented numerous times and Sandinismo is no longer recognizable. Daniel Ortega has become what he was fighting against, a corrupt politician and virtual dictator.

Agreed with this, if I saw Sanders/anyone offering more recent support/praise for Ortega and his groups I would be much more troubled.
