(27,835 posts)Is Hillary still walking around in a body brace due to the several diseases she's dying from? Has she murdered anyone new lately? Has Bernie recovered from the brass-knuckle beating Clinton's "thugs" gave him the night of the convention?
Just wonderin'!

Few would have benefited from Clintons plans to expand mental health facilities like they would have.

I miss your point... and alas you my point, humor. But of course that wasn't what you were going for, verses posting a thread in known space where Jackpine radicals Come to read.
The OP has intent to polarize, create argument, bait. Troll.

(12,448 posts)Now they're sucking up to Russia, too. And BTW, to Trump, who knows "a lot about hacking," which he'll reveal sometime or other.

(94,503 posts)(I took note of the criticisms upthread )
The "messengers" have not been shot, even a little. They are still very much alive and doing Putin's bidding, which is to disrupt the democratic elections of Western European nations and the USA. Putin's gotten quite good at this, and they are just two of his tools.
As for being "shot," Putin is really good at eliminating people who bother him. As his predecessor is known to have said, regarding men who gave him problems: "Death solves all problems. No man -- no problem." So far it looks like they, and Snowden, have not given Putin any problems.

(6,409 posts)We don't see many posts suggesting Russia didn't do anything. Some people think it had little or no effect on the outcome, but that's different than saying it never happened.

(3,090 posts)Of the division in the Democratic party. And in order to move forward, it's important to find common ground. Obviously there were a lot of factors in the election results but not everyone agrees on what those factors are and how to move forward. That's a huge problem.

Fiendish Thingy
(18,379 posts)Manny, for instance, seems to keep a level head, ignoring much of the rampant nonsense being spewed by posters opposing the "Deep State", claiming "Clarity" as their motive.
Unfortunately, many, many others, including some of the other mods, have fallen victim to a blind contrarianism that permeates the site rendering discussion of even the very nature of truth and reality impossible. If the MSM says the sky is blue, and some Putin sponsored "alternative journalist" says it is a green plaid, then for many, green plaid is the accepted reality.
Also, to be fair, the opposite of blind contrarianism is, of course, blind faith, and is just as dangerous. There are many here who accept the word of intelligence agencies who have repeatedly lied to us in the past, with no verifiable evidence beyond their own, often anonymous statements. There are even some who believe that the Russians hacked vote tallies, with no evidence, in fact US intelligence sources state the opposite.
Sadly, this confusion from misinformation/disinformation is a characteristic of the post-truth era, leading to either 1) blind faith when it fits one's personal narrative, 2) blind contrarianism when it doesn't, or 3) apathy out of frustration for those attemping to use critical thinking skills.
JPR could be a good progressive forum if it focused on spreading progressive values and acheiving progressive goals, instead of a lot of the nonsense that fills the site (at least the front page). There are some DU refugees there who are trying, but get drowned out.

(1,782 posts)I made the mistake of criticizing Putin there and got promptly bushwhacked by several Putinistas. My real mistake, however, was mistaking that glorified gulag for a progressive forum.

(1,151 posts)For many leftists, America is the "Great Satan" every bit as much as it is for an Al Qaeda or Daesh extremist (almost a mirror image of how America would prop up any tinpot dictatorship as long as it claimed to be fighting Communism) and thus, Putin is their ally.
Russia has been playing these types like a fiddle for a long long time, to the detriment of the leftist movement.
Ellipsis
(9,178 posts)The complexity of the fiddle playing is greater then some here appreciate.
forjusticethunders
(1,151 posts)When I say "A long long time", I mean going back to before World War II. God those "if Stalin says jump, only ask how high" years are so fucking cringe for the socialist Left.

(10,173 posts)Classic reactionary politics. If the Conservatives hate something, some on the left will like it even if it means abandoning our principles and engaging in moral relativism.
Does my head in because it makes the left look like a joke.
