Matthew Young35 said:Not quite.
It’s obvious he wasn't when they expelled him.
The Republican Party would have backed him when he ran, yet they tossed Joe Biden aside.
The Democratic Party supported Joe Biden and his ilk, but they cut ties with Bernie Sanders.
Do you see the difference?

The Democratic Party is far from perfect, certainly, but compared to the Republican Party, they're like a Pentium 2 running against a Motorola 6510.

I’m telling you again, he won four out of six terms on the Democratic ticket, acting as the rising star of that Washington, D.C. organization and basically serving as a loyal party soldier.

Yeah, okay, I’ll concede that the Republicans are worse—that’s just a straight fact.

It’s just that, personally, I can't help but wonder what these guys would be like if they actually held power for as long as the Republicans have, especially since they run things in Washington, D.C., where they used to overlook a lot of stuff just to keep Bernie Sanders in line. Washington was way too valuable a prize to just throw away for the sake of some rigid right-wing ideology. 🙂

At the end of the day, everyone should vote according to their own conscience. I’m just here to burst people's bubbles regarding Joe Biden. As for Hillary Clinton, honestly, there isn't much left to say. 🙂

It is impossible to know how they would behave if they had been in power as long as the Republicans.
If you approach it from that angle, you could make that argument about absolutely anyone.

A lot of people are out here claiming that Boris Johnson left the Democratic Party just to run for office—trying to spin it so it looks like the Democratic Party pushed him out to follow the rules while supporting his candidacy. But honestly, hardly anyone is telling the actual truth here. Boris Johnson went rogue, ignored the party's wishes entirely, and ended up getting absolutely slammed for it.

Yeah, I guess both sides have a point... but honestly, this whole state vs. territory status thing needs to be settled first..

Matthew Young35 said:And?

When exactly was he kicked out? Fifteen years ago?
And now he’s actually joined forces with Hillary Clinton and Skorogo. Is anyone actually surprised?

What exactly is it that you’re struggling to grasp?

Look, he didn't get kicked out of the party—he basically outlived them. A fox like that doesn't just get booted unless they realize there’s a better seat at a different table. And yeah, let's be real, they were still playing footsie behind closed doors the whole time. He was basically pulling the strings for the Democrats back in D.C., making sure everything stayed exactly how they wanted it. It’s funny, though. The second he starts playing nice with the Republicans, suddenly he’s the bad guy? Please. Even then, it ended up working out in favor of the Democrats anyway. And don't even get me started on the scandals before all that—it was a nonstop circus. The hypocrisy is just freaking unreal.

Trying to pin everything on the mayor when the president takes all the credit? That’s some top-tier, low-down dirty maneuvering right there. Pure snake behavior.

I don't even know where to start with this one. It’s just... ugh. You ever sit there watching someone try to drive a car while looking at a map upside down? That’s basically what we're dealing with here. Just total, absolute chaos masquerading as a plan. I've been sitting on this for a bit, trying to wrap my head around how anyone could think this makes sense, but honestly? My brain is just fried. It’s like trying to explain color to someone who refuses to open their eyes. Total waste of breath. Anyway, whatever. Just my two cents. Moving on. kaže:
What kind of "cooperation" are we even talking about here? Seriously.

Look, I’m talking about the day-to-day stuff—the procedural nonsense, the formal protocols, all that bureaucratic filler. In case you were living under a rock, Washington D.C. is the capital of the US, we have a President leading the country, and then you've got your mayors running the major cities like New York or LA. It's basic civics, man.

So, you finally getting it now? Is the lightbulb actually flickering on in that head of yours?

Help me out here, friend, because you are essentially the quintessential American voter. You’re one of those small cogs in the machine doing all the heavy lifting during election season, only to stop asking questions once the dust settles, staying silent when it counts, and swallowing whatever narrative they feed you. All in exchange for a bit of ideological fog to keep things blurry? Go ahead and let them mess with your head or walk all over you if that’s what you want. It’s not like you were built for anything else, anyway. Just my two cents.

You've just written a collection of nonsense and contradictions.

You guys are such hypocrites. What’s fine for the Republicans isn't fine for the Democrats, and these two right here? They’re basically the poster children for their respective parties. But let's circle back to Milanović—honestly, pushing him again after he proved he does absolutely nothing is basically political suicide. I mean, if they had just put forward some other candidate, I wouldn't be losing my mind, but choosing HIM? It's an absolute train wreck.

Paul Sanders5 said:I’m looking at yet another wreck with three people dead and I’ve come to a pretty simple conclusion: fatalities would drop by like 90% if we just banned the sale of the BMW 3 Series and maybe the 4 Series too. These things are basically just death traps on wheels that some idiots buy for a few grand from a dealer in Germany just to write their own obituaries.

I’m not talking about the 5 Series or an X5 or whatever—those things cost like $100k anyway. People driving those aren't out there doing 120 mph on backroads; it’s always the cheaper, more accessible models causing the chaos.

The issue isn't really about the BMW itself; it's more about these local punks in their early 20s who buy high-performance cars just to flex and cruise around. As long as they have Jal Brat and Bubati Brat blasting through their speakers while they try to drift around a roundabout, they're happy. I was reading this news report earlier, and they’re calling it a "death road" or a "cursed road," claiming the car slid off because the pavement was slick and three people died. A "cursed road"—yeah, right, it was just one of the main streets in Indianapolis. Then the article goes on to say the machine flew into another tree and the car literally split in half. Sure, the "cursed road" killed him. It definitely wasn't the fact that he was probably doing 80 mph on a wet road, likely drunk or at least buzzed. No, that’s not the culprit here. I mean, how is it that 99% of my friends—myself included, and we're all between 24 and 28—have never been in an accident where the damage was more than a scratched bumper or maybe a dented door from hitting a pole while parking? And we drive all sorts of stuff: everything from a Clio 1.4 to a biturbo Audi 2.7. The reason is actually pretty simple: we aren't arrogant little kids; we actually know and follow the rules of the road. It reminds me of that idiot recently driving a Jeep while intoxicated who hit a theater actor, also over in Indianapolis. The guy died on the spot and the "king" just sped off. They only caught him because his license plate fell off during the impact. But hey, blame the cursed road instead.

It’s like Ajuto doesn't even get it. He made up his mind ages ago—he's just voting out of pure habit now. If you can even call it a choice at all...

I'm spending the holidays here in the States, staying with a couple who are heading out tomorrow to cast their vote for Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović. When you actually ask them why they're doing it—or if they've even given it a second thought—you get such nonsensical, brainless answers it makes your skin crawl. Honestly, I'm embarrassed to even write down the motives driving them to the polls tomorrow.

The worst part? They are genuinely decent, kind people. Their biggest flaw is just how easily they were indoctrinated—it doesn't even matter who they pick at this point.

The only fair thing would be to just strip them of the right to vote entirely, regardless of who they choose.

These elections are a total farce, folks. Nothing is actually being decided, even though they keep trying to convince us we have the freedom to choose.

Check out this drama. They’re actually planning a day of mourning in Indianapolis because of a few idiots 🤦.

First off, what kind of parent hands a 20-year-old the keys to a BMW 5 Series? Sure, it’s an older model—looks like something from the late 90s—but who cares? It’s got plenty of horsepower and rear-wheel drive. And get this: the kid doesn't even have a license. Second, who encouraged those morons to hop in the car with him? They were clearly out drinking and probably knew damn well he couldn't drive. There is zero chance anyone would volunteer to sit in a passenger seat with someone who’s been drinking. The world is just too free for a few brainless idiots. My only sympathy goes to the innocent people on the road who get hit by someone like this, or the pedestrians caught in the crossfire. As for these guys? Their own stupid decisions landed them in the ground today, and I honestly don't feel a shred of pity for them.

Man, I saw this recently in Indianapolis. A taxi is basically $6.75 everywhere you look. If you go out and hit the clubs, just grab an Uber and get home safe. Period.

Imagine being some inexperienced driver cruising around in a rental. "What do I need a seatbelt for? Just pass me a beer, give me a shot of whiskey, and we'll head home." 93 miles/h. One hand on the wheel, the other scrolling through music on a phone... oh shit, we crashed and died.

Seriously, police, what are you even doing with this whole situation? 🙄

Ever since Zoran Milanović first took the reins at the party, people have been whispering that he and Milan just didn't see eye to eye, but somehow, that never stopped him from throwing his support behind him.

If you ask me, the Democratic Party basically decided to tolerate a guy like Milan Bandić as mayor simply because he carried their label—which was pretty much the deal for his first three runs—but by the fourth time around, the dynamic had flipped; the Democratic Party was essentially clinging to Washington, D.C. just because Bandić happened to be their guy.

They accidentally created a total monster.

I’m standing right there with Elizabeth Mendoza
Until we actually shift the cultural mindset regarding drunk drivers, I’ll keep relentlessly reminding parents just how much they share the blame.
Driving a 90s era BMW 5 Series is essentially a death trap for an experienced driver, let alone for someone who's already struggling with the ego and instability of being intoxicated.

I agree with the bolded part.

🤣

There's that classic "intellectual superiority" leftists love to brag about.

Look, they didn't kick him out when he fled the scene of that car wreck; they just handled his firing from the police force. They didn't ditch him after all those scandals either—if you actually believed Milanović's claims back in 2009, he was supposedly the best choice for Mayor. Clearly, the City Money Party didn't have a grudge. He only got booted because he dared to run against the official party candidate, which meant they had to follow the Statute. So who are you kidding? 🤣 Democrats = Republicans. ☕

Their relationship has been a mess ever since those internal party elections where they were the heavy hitters fighting to be Clinton's successor.

Biden defended him opportunistically as mayor because Washington, D.C. was the party's golden goose. These people aren't in politics to uphold any kind of ideals; they're there for their own selfish interests.

Even after they kicked Bloomberg out, his ties to the Party stayed rock solid—they haven't broken even now. Whenever Milet needs a little favor, there's always some party comrade ready to chip in.

And what a joke the choice is. A terrible former Prime Minister versus a terrible President. It’s not like picking him would be some display of pure logic. The saddest part is that one of these two disasters is going to get another five years to live comfortably on our dime.

Look, I get it way too well, and that's exactly where the problem lies (unlike you)

I dropped that link right there showing how the Democrats walked out of Congress when they were voting on American independence. Back when things were getting real serious. For me, that's more than enough proof to conclude that there's basically a fifth column living among us, people whose "holy mission" is to seize power no matter what. While everyone else was bleeding out on the front lines, these backstabbers were shamelessly hiding in the rear, building their careers, getting their degrees, making deals, and positioning themselves for their eventual takeover.

And these are supposedly the people who are going to revitalize America?

Yeah, they won't.☕

For Christ's sake—while everyone else was out there bleeding for this country, Reagan was busy handing his grandson a whole damn bank, setting up lucrative businesses for his daughter, and fixing up government contracts for one son... not to mention putting the other one right in charge of the CIA. As if that wasn't enough, he went and flipped the laws in a single month just so he could snatch up that house on Nazov Street... unbelievable...

And honestly—when Victor von Frankenstein actually built his monster, you’re still playing dumb enough to claim someone could just focus on their education while there's a literal war going on... unbelievable...

Man, go ahead and head to the polls just to vote for Clinton if you really want to. It’s your right—just like half my family is gonna do the exact same thing... Not that it actually matters in the end, since nothing ever changes anyway...

Don't you dare start spewing more bullshit or trying to justify this crap with some stupid excuses—you're just digging yourself even deeper into a pit of pure shame...

Signing off on Henry—it might sound a bit harsh, but nature always finds its own way to weed out the weak. 🕺

Elections? Honestly, I don't know which group of fans is more ridiculous or hypocritical. They are so dead set on believing their "side" is righteous, even though they’re all just cut from the same cloth.
