    No matter how correct you are.

    Does that mean they switched again before voting for or against the 1964 Civil Rights Act?

    Just because you keep repeating something over and over doesn't make it true...only in Democratland!

    Wish I had today off.  This move doesn’t affect my life one way or the other.

     There's probably not one issue we discuss argue over or fight about on this board that has any effect on our lives on a day-to-day basis. If we didn't have Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow to tell us how wonderful or fucked up our lives are we wouldn't know.

    Honest question- did anyone on this forum hear of Juneteenth more than a few years ago? Now it's a National Holiday.  I guess MLK Day and Black History Month weren't enough.  To make it fair- let's make March 17th- Saint Patrick's Day a national Holiday- it is in Ireland.  How about May 5th Cinco de Mayo for our Mexican friends?  Kościuszko day in August for our Polish immigrants...

    OMG- straight out of the Right Wing rabbit hole, only in MAGA alternate reality.   You have a former president repeating something over and over- 30,000 lies (and counting)- beating the drum about election fraud. The lemmings believe it without question.  😁 😁 😁 Show your proof in court (that's been an epic FAIL to date) or STFU!!!!

    So what you're saying is FDR was a republican. That pretty much erases your only decent President. 

  • By the way republicans and Democrats never ever switched platforms. That's simply a weak attempt to cover their terrible history of everything.

    Did you notice only the Democrats make this claim?

  • Even if republicans gradually moved to a smaller government platform and Democrats gradually adopted a big government that is only one thing. Thats not some ubiquitous "Lincoln was actually a democrat!"

    That is an incredibly weak attempt to cover up the skeletons in their closet by claiming they sold that house a long long time ago. 

    They didn't.

    And yelling about Lincoln being a republican is an incredibly weak way to say something positive about republicans now. There's little, if any, relevancy. And if someone is trying to use this argument then the history of the parties in the 150+ years since then should absolutely be brought up.

    Yup, that's exacty what happens when you keep drinking the Trump Koolaid. 😁

    Bro, whatever you want to say about modern republicans is your prerogative. 

    Progressive Democrats will be the death of this country and our descent into outright and obvious villainy.

    Bro, I'm just responding to what your previous post said. I'm not trying to cheerlead for either side (regardless of your other post).

    I'm much less inclined to think trans rights and Juneteenth will be the "death of the country" opposed to our willingness to accept anti expert and anti science rhetoric.

    My problem with "modern Republicans" is there's two factions of them...  those who have drunk the Trump Kool-Aid (Space Lasers, I'm coming back by August!!) and want to follow a wannabe dictator right off of a cliff. Or those (apparently few) Republicans who haven't lost their fucking minds or souls- like Liz Cheney and Ben Sasse who still have a grip on reality.  Count me in the latter group.  

    For the record Cysko- you can think Trump belongs in a nut house, and not be a "Progressive Democrat"... It's a concept lost on the vast majority of posters here.
