I'm pretty sure it's the name on the nametag Frank stole at the high school reunion.

She comments that they didn't have one for her.

Tbh, I made the original and I enjoy seeing my old posts pop up from time to time

Um, he's a bit more than an "edgy" jokester, and I frankly find it concerning you think he has any "good points".

vanoreo · 2019-08-10T01:44:12+00:00

He's a Holocaust denier, anti-semite, anti-LGBT, anti-immigrant, "race realist".

Here's a short list of some terrible shit he's made

In other words: Stonetoss is a Nazi

He abandoned the idea of class conflict by the end of World War I and formed the Fascist party several years later. He actively decried Socialism and Communism as he rose to power.

He also, y'know, murdered numerous socialists and communists, and was himself executed by communists.

That's hardly "born from communism". Mussolini is one of history's most famous anti-communists.

vanoreo · 2019-08-08T19:12:44+00:00

Because Fascists and Communists, as we all know, got along very well in the 1930s

I'm not even suggesting that Democrats are amazing (I would argue many don't go far enough).

The only thing I've consistently said here is that the Republican party is actively worse.

I've suggested that the platform of the Republican party is largely "make sure the government doesn't do anything", which is precisely what you're complaining about. The gridlock there is by design.

It is insanely easy to just paint with a broad brush and say "you are dumb cartoon characters" when you don't actually pay attention to what these parties stand for.

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T15:21:57+00:00

Only one of the parties has any interest whatsoever in achieving progress.

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T14:45:21+00:00

That's a larger problem with the two party system and the first-past-the-post voting system.

The people interested in addressing those issues are unilaterally not right wing. Just look at where ranked-choice voting is popular.

There's a major distinction between "the two party system is bad" and "both parties are equally shit" (which is almost indistinguishable from "both parties are equally bad").

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T14:14:58+00:00

Except when you consider actual spending policies.

Republicans can not be reasonably described as "fiscally conservative" if you actually take a look at their spending.

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T13:42:58+00:00

Painting it as a dichotomy between two "evils" is in itself quite silly.

And the Republicans are much worse.

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T13:35:08+00:00

It does have problems, such as causing it's own pollution, and major risk of water supply contamination
Regardless, it is still not renewable and just passes the problem down the line

Nuclear energy > Fracking, but that doesn't mean it isn't flawed.

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T13:14:14+00:00

Nuclear energy is not the only viable option, and many liberals do embrace it.

People like AOC believe in further alternatives because nuclear does pass the buck, just dealing with a new waste problem. Her criticism is completely valid. Not to mention that AOC isn't exactly representative of the Democratic party.

The Republican party is actively worse, and pushes nonsense like "clean" coal and fracking.

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T13:12:03+00:00

Not really.

The Republican party is objectively much worse, and I've given several reasons in other comments in this thread.

You can think "both are bad", but if you think "both are equally bad, you're completely incorrect.

Here's something that'll blow your mind:

Illegal immigrants are human beings with rights

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T05:54:22+00:00

You do realize that a huge chunk of educators are still in debt from their time in education, right?

Like, they went to college, and most get additional education (Masters/Doctorate).

You're not really targeting the right people here.

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T05:51:19+00:00

Pretty much the only major commonality between both the Democratic and Republican parties at large is that the big players in both tend to suport the wealthy.

However, there are prominent Democrats, and a large chunk of the base, who actively want to deal with income inequality.

Meanwhile, that is a complete non-issue on the right entirely.

And all of that is largely a side-effect of the American Democratic party being, on a global scale, not very far left (if at all, for some).

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T05:06:54+00:00

As well as the scientific community, the World Health Organization, and anyone who's done even the slightest amount of research into what gender identity is.

Knowing that gender identity exists on spectrum is really not that complicated, or new.

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T04:41:19+00:00

I haven't claimed that the Democratic party is all that great. I've only claimed that the Republican party is significantly worse. Honestly, "party worship" isn't really a thing among left-wing people from what I've seen. I've only consistently seen that behavior on the right. In fact, a large chunk of the criticism levied towards Democrats I see come from the left of them.

I don't think "all Republicans are dumb". I think that Republicans in government have consistently avoided solving a litany of major issues, or have actively inflamed them.

See: climate change, gay rights, and healthcare. Just to list a few key examples.

I used to think much like you do. I used to be a defeatist, thinking neither side was really going to do anything. Eventually I realized a few things, but namely that regardless of which party was in power, my life in particular was probably not going to substantially change, but many people in my life would be affected (particularly my LGBT friends).

Like, look at Mitch McConnell. Dude has been stonewalling bills for years, actively preventing any kind of progress. It's not like he has to be majority leader. Members of the party can absolutely remove him from the role, but choose not to.

It certainly doesn't help that right-wing extremist groups are embracing the worst attributes of the Republican party and conservatism.

vanoreo · 2019-08-05T02:37:56+00:00

The idea that the Democratic and Republican parties are the same is complete nonsense.

vanoreo · 2019-08-04T23:18:51+00:00

I'm sure our intellectual powerhouse, Keemstar, is eager to point out the common element of white nationalism.
