johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025A common belief that is just not true. 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025I read him too, but the videos (12 hours.) Gave him a chance and agreed with some points. Unlike your intellectual habits. 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Then don’t disguise yourself with ridiculous arguments. 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Gotta go pick up my KKK whites for the meeting on how we’re gonna colonize the solar system! 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Sure I am. All of us who disagree with your sick worldview are. 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Name one society, past or present, that you would be okay with. 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Au contraire. Listening to the left has brought us defeat. Nixon, Reagan,Trump. 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Well then stop wasting the time of real Americans!!!! 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Oh Please. You have no idea who I am, what I tell my kids, and how grateful I am at the advantages I was given. That’s why I’m a Democrat. My kids are Bernie people. I would be too, if he could win. 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Your literary style betrays ignorance. Clean it up. 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Jesus. Why toss in “Imperialistic?” Now I’m an Imperialist?? 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Your arguments are like puzzle pieces on a table. I see unconnected islands that seem sensible but then are connected to nonsensical ways and means. I believe in Utopian Socialism. But I don’t waste time pining for it. Today is for protecting our gains. And there have been many. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025More than you, I’ll bet. Additionally, I watched three different lengthy videos featuring him. I was open-minded until the very end, when he started supporting Putin. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025No I am not. Just center-left. I wish for progressive things but I take what’s in our grasp. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Well then we have nothing to discuss. Chomsky is an asshole. Are you aware that he tacitly supports Putin in regard to Ukraine? 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025No it isn’t, and that’s where you should be focused. You honestly think single-payer is currently possible? Or a wealth-tax? That’s nuts. We are trying to get a simple majority. If Democrats manage to destroy Trumpism perhaps. 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025I never said any such thing, although I see it now. I rather imagined you as a die-hard upper-class NYC-type leftist, until you got nasty and dirty. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Conservatism is a living political philosophy that I don’t share. Making up definitions to suit your beliefs? 200
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025You just don’t grasp the dynamic, do ya. The ACA was an incremental change leading to Trumpism? I, a lifelong Democrat, suck MAGA dick? Jesus. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025You are disgustingly ignorant by and I regret the time I spent giving you respect. I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution and I risked my life in furtherance of that conviction. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025You think that being in the center is a slovenly choice. But the center is dynamic. If it moves further left, the fight is there. Please quit the ad hominem shit as it is the hallmark of weak arguments at all times and places. Plus, I come from a family of proud Union Democratic workers. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025That comment makes no sense. And I am far from ignorant, darling. Your complaint was against the Democratic Party. Now you say that individuals make up the “Establishment.” If you disapprove of the Party as well as Democrats who are not supporting Mamdani, who is left to listen to you. 200
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025No. It is one by everyone pulling in the same direction at once. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Oh, OK. I see. You want this country dismantled? For what? A socialist Utopia? We cannot discuss this because I am a Veteran and a Patriot. You should have admitted your creed and saved us the breath. 200
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Oh screw you. You will engage in ineffective hectoring as usual and then blame the actual fighters for the loss. I am behind Newsom, Buttigieg, Hochul, Whitmer and Shapiro. Whom are you behind. Noam Chomsky? 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025The Democratic Party is backing Mandami. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025My memory is excellent. You look it up. 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025That was a winning argument legally but a political impossibility. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025All fighting is in the center. Both parties are willing to fight for the same territory. Try preserving the Voting Rights Act from the Left. 000
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025James Carville pushed him to fucking WIN! Carville insists that the ONLY purpose for a political party is to win. Did you not enjoy 8 years of getting some things done? Some SCOTUS justices perhaps? It looks like we are the same because we are both fighting for the center. And for our lives. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025My sainted ghost of FDR! I didn’t know you were responsible for the Republican oligarchy! 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025I see incremental change working. Right now we are on serious defense for the life of the Democracy. I see McGovern and Dukakis getting slaughtered . And fuck your ageist sentiment. 200
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 07/08/2025You are completely deluded. As I said, centrism is a product of what is possible, not what you think should be the case. But go ahead and support the currently impossible. Or vote for Jill Stein, as so many leftists are wont to do. Yeah baby! Refuse to condemn genocide. I saw the video. 110
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 06/08/2025The fighting has always been in the center, dearest flower child. That you think otherwise betrays a failure to understand the history of elections. I supported McGovern. Never again. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 06/08/2025So, go live in a place you would be okay with, or join the real fight, for your own imperatives, in the center. By the way, I am not okay with a “centrist” America. But you can’t just wait until what’s possible is more to your liking. Or hold your breath until FDR and Lincoln come back. 200
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 06/08/2025I wish someone would collect the details of all of these Republican criminals’ acts in one place and publish it. 000

johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 06/08/2025The Fascists are calling in bomb threats to flush out fleeing Texas State representatives from their hotels. But privileged leftists whined on national TV because the Columbia protests weren’t “catered.” Incalculable damage to both causes. 100
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 06/08/2025Correct. But who is “The Establishment?” I hope you don’t mean, say, Newsom or Buttigieg. MAGA has moved the Window to the right, not Democrats. Unfortunately, we have been forced rightward in order to engage. 200
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 06/08/2025What solutions? Personal purity at the expense of the working class? 030
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 06/08/2025Contemplate the concept of the Overton Window. 200
johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 06/08/2025The actual fighting is in the center. Leftists avoid that inconvenient truth in favor of demanding things that realistically are not on the table and are aspirational at best. We ignored the center and allowed a Fascist takeover. Thanks much. 200

johnnymac17.bsky.social @johnnymac17.bsky.social · 05/08/2025And you don’t see a big difference in the respective motives for these actions? Sheesh! 010
