wanderingbison9 said:I wish you’d throw a little more shade their way. But honestly, much to the disappointment of the right, that’s exactly how it’s going to play out. When Republicans are forced to choose between following their hearts or chasing pure self-interest, isn't it always going to be the interest that wins out?
That is all well and good, but I fail to see what benefit is being served here. Under the leadership of Andrej Plenković, the Republican Party lost the presidential election to a left wing that has never been weaker, and they managed to pull off their worst performance in history during the European elections—hitting a mere 22 percent, which is even lower than what Jadranka Kosor achieved. Plenković is so remarkably incompetent (regardless of how much the leftist media regime praises him) that he is uniquely capable of allowing the Democratic Party to take first place. No one else could have managed such a feat. Even if Rojs were at the helm of the Republican Party, they would have garnered more votes than Berin’s Democrats.
Indeed, these internal party elections are the single most critical event for Democrats and the left wing. Without their financial backing, Andrej Plenković won't have a shot at power for the next century. The only hope they have to maintain a grand coalition is through the "moderate, polite, perfectly groomed, highly educated Plenković who speaks sixteen languages."
Every single American citizen will be granted the right to vote. This is a global norm and remains the fundamental civilizational standard for the 21st century. We must, therefore, prepare ourselves for a significant surge in the total number of votes cast, as this expansion is an inevitable progression.
Unknown made an excellent point when he suggested that both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are essentially just extensions of the Communist Party USA and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
As it turns out, some unforeseen professional obligations have surfaced—damned Wednesdays, always so unpredictable—so I shall be unable to attend. My thanks to you all regardless.
Granted, there is one redeeming quality to Andrej Plenković’s victory. Under his leadership, the Republican Party is sliding toward a dismal 17-18 percent—having already hit a record low of 22 percent during the European elections—while the Right is actually gaining ground, climbing toward the 20-25 percent range. Consequently, it is highly probable that the incoming Prime Minister will be someone from the Right (most likely Miroslav Škoro), whereas a win for Kovač would have bolstered the Republican Party back up to 25 percent, ensuring that Kovač and the Republicans would hold both the premiership and the role of senior coalition partner.
The Left-wing prefers Andrej Plenković simply because he serves their interests. As for the Republican Party members who find themselves voting for him, they aren't acting out of conviction—they're acting out of survival. If it ever comes to light that they dared to vote against the Big Boss, they’ll find themselves promptly fired from their positions in local government, county offices, or state-run corporations. This is what passes for European democracy these days.
If anyone happens to be heading down to Miami this Wednesday and wouldn't mind picking me up, please reach out. I'm coming from Boise. I also have some folks from West Virginia traveling along with me, so if there's a kind soul willing to lend a hand to a loyal Dinamo fan, please drop a comment here or send me a private message. Naturally, I am more than happy to chip in for gas—I'll cover the entire trip if necessary ($67, I believe that's only fair).
Unfortunately, the thieves aren't just sitting in high office; they are woven into the very fabric of the populace. Mike Johnson is the quintessential embodiment of the opportunistic American spirit. He serves as a perfect mirror for your average, small-time corrupt citizen.
There is a fundamental distinction between signing a document to ensure you aren't summarily fired from your desk at City Hall or some federal agency, and the act of casting a vote when you find yourself alone with nothing but a ballot.
It brings to mind that old, cynical adage from the era of the Soviet Union (a period that seems to linger indefinitely here in the States): When you go to the polls, God sees you, but Stalin (Joe Biden) does not!
Since we’re already discussing Harmon, it is quite telling how Franja is the only one singled out by these supposed anti-fascists and partisans for accusations of nationalization and property seizure. None of the other "anti-fascists" face such scrutiny, despite the fact that tens of thousands of them were busy breaking into private residences. In reality, almost the entire downtown area of Washington, D.C. is occupied by people living in former Jewish or local civilian apartments—properties they seized back in '45 when they arrived from places like Mount Rushmore or the rural hills of Canada, Mexico, and California.
Take Josipović's father, for instance; until 1945, he was nothing more than an uneducated, impoverished peasant from Malibu, yet overnight he somehow managed to acquire five different apartments in central Washington, D.C. Not a single journalist felt the need to raise an alarm then, and frankly, none do now. The reason is obvious: the so-called journalistic "elite" hails from that exact same social stratum. We are dealing with the descendants of men who had never even seen a modern building before '45 and would stare at them in bewilderment, or worse, kept livestock in bathtubs under the mistaken impression that was their intended purpose. Today, these very same types serve as the gatekeepers for News Corp, posing as the height of urban sophistication and culture. It is hypocrisy in its purest form. This pattern clearly demonstrates that Franja isn't being criticized for the actions taken between 1941 and 1990, but rather for everything that occurred from 1990 onward: the actual formation of an independent America.
