    Many on the left can't face the truth.

    Gee I wonder how the working class would be doing if we hadn't opened the border to unlimited 3rd world immigration. Stop all low skill immigration for 5 years and watch what happens to the wages of the working class. Supply and demand is a thing, the elites who control our politicians understand this, why don't you?

    It is bizarre, is it not, that Americans elect anti-Americans to political office?

    ... my entire point is that political conditions create and influence our actions regardless of what area our. So yeah. Duh. Of course the elites control our politicians. My local pastor controls my town council by helping them out with a food distribution program.

    That's a ridiculous claim, akin to the claim Republicans support police violence.
    Unless Trump does a 180 on the virus, he's going to lose.

    No it isn't a ridiculous claim. The Dems need the black vote, hence why they're alienating BLM. The Dnc has a massive PR problem. On top of that they have guy who has signs of dementia
    Polls showed HRC was going to win too. And where is she? Not in the WH

    Not terribly surprising though. Somali migrants essentially have their own political district in Minneapolis, People who come from countries of true oppression are more passionate about civics than the average apathetic, spoiled American who take our freedoms and system of laws and protections for granted. Immigrants may simply not agree with the system we worked 244 years to develop and want to tear it down and rebuild with what they know.

    With an estimated 74,000 Somalis in Minnesota, most of whom actively exercise their voting rights, that area likely has a lot of people who don't agree with the American norms. The majority came in on asylum under the Obama administration. I think many blame America for interfering and causing Somali's Civil War.

    When we were having a lot of terrorist attacks in the U.S., Minneapolis became this country's top ISIS recruiting ground. "A few of the homeward-bound immigrants along with some American-born associates have been sought and/or prosecuted for allegedly providing material support to the Al-Shabaab and Islamic State political militant groups."

    The majority of "Notable residents" listed in Wiki among Somalis in Minneapolis are politically involved individuals, or were government officials before fleeing Somalia.

    This doesn't make sense given your claim ("They hitched their wagon to the BLM and riots.").
    They do?

    If you listen to Carlson's monologue he is correct. Duckworth is a lying pile of garbage. I am a vet and I don't have that belief that vets get special status that makes them immune to scrutiny when they are prolific liars. She sold vets out when she worked for the VA.

    VA Whistleblowers Accuse Duckworth of Ignoring Veteran Abuse, Corruption
    During a radio appearance Monday, Veterans Affairs whistleblowers Germaine Clarno and Dr. Lisa Nee claimed that Rep. Tammy Duckworth did little to respond to their claims of mistreatment of veterans and corruption within the Hines VA.

    According to their allegations, Duckworth was largely unresponsive to evidence related to veteran mistreatment and inadequate investigations conducted by the VA's inspector general.

    Clarno claimed that, although she approached Duckworth "many" times, the congresswoman did little to respond to her claims.

    Of course. From someone who went from living in a refugee camp to how she lives now because of our "oppressive" government.

    Are they living at home, rent free? Food paid for by parents? Easy to sock away wages (and good for them for doing it) when their earnings are not needed to help out with the rent and groceries.

    The US does frown on folks marrying their brothers, so perhaps she has a point. We need to burn it all down so deviant incestuous whores have a safe place in the world...

    I wonder how compatible Cultural Marxism is with Sharia Law and Islamism? Marxists typically need to destroy all religions and replace with government worship as "god".

    The idea itself is moronic at best and treasonous at worst! Make your choice!

    In a "government by the people", if enough of the people elect Marxists, Socialists, Communists to the federal legislature, the country can be completely "reimagined" by those representatives. Legally. It's a terrifying thought. "Reimagined" is a dog whistle word, commonly used by the Cultural Marxist movement.

    Fer crissake, this country isn't going to be "reimagined" by Marxists. You're either worked up over nothing or propagandizing.

    Obviously, al Qaeda and the Islamic State's anti-Semitic fangirl in the "Democratic" Party wants to replace our "oppressive" constitutional republican political system and free market-enterprise economic system with the failed authoritarian economic and political system that cost 100 million people their lives during the 20th Century and enslaved and impoverished hundreds of millions more hapless human beings behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains...

    Then again, maybe she'd rather see America turned into a rights-repressive Islamist shithole that would make her heroes Osama bin Laden and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi proud...

    Or....you're unaware of what's been going on at college campuses since the 90's, but picked up steam over the last decade.

    That's exactly what the Marxists, Anarcho-Marxists and Nihilists in this country have been doing with the Cultural Revolution they've been waging in our streets for the past month and a half with the help of their "progressive" enablers in the Democratic Party.

    It's happened before in other countries like China and Russia where Marxists "reimagined" those countries, and now it's happening here.

    He who controls the past controls the future...

    You're uber-excited about nothing.

    Of course, they do want change. They don't much care for the racism, homophobia, sexism, the "war on drugs," and so on. They also don't like getting stuck with education debt. Or face high housing costs because of policies that favor a run-up in home prices. They get that the system is rigged against them. Wanting to fix those policies doesn't make you a Marxist.

    The street protests are focused on cultural issues. Democrats will deal with the economic issues. Socialism isn't being pushed.
    No, it isn't.
