    Another Pragur U graduate? You don't think the parties switched as a result of Barry Goldwater's southern strategy?

    There is a reason why I don’t stand with the Natives at Standing Rock. They are sellouts who have forgotten their past and have become pawns to the Democrat agenda, much like what BLM is doing now.

    https://mwalliancenow.org/blog/myths-facts-behind-standing-rock-sioux-tribe-claims/

    I too, marveled at the amount of white liberals present at the Standing Rock protests, much like the amount of white liberals who were present at BLM protests. Malcolm X had a lot to say about these types of white liberals. 101E94B5-4095-4D56-A321-12D5FAD3A96A.jpeg

    Uh, whether she conceded or not was the issue in dispute. She did not. I was correct on that.

    This is really beating a dead horse. You were wrong on this issue, so give it up.

    Yes, but she still acknowledged the winner after only about 14 days and then proceeded to put her money where her mouth is and re-register those purged voters and many more. So you can focus on a commonality, but the differences show a stark contrast..

    It's too early to know if there are, or isn't commonalities.

    At least you guys are finally recognizing that she didn't concede, so some progress is being made, but I didn't make any claims about her beyond that so your "points" about Abrams are irrelevant to me.

    There was never a “switch”. Some Democrats defected to the Republican Party long after Manifest Destiny was completed, but you are acting as though the Democrat Party never existed or.no longer exists. Read a history book and get back to me when you’ve learned something that hasn’t been spoonfed to you by the Democrat playbook.

    All that's saying is that they get paid for expenses. You said it yourself.

    "They CAN use the money for personal expense related to “political events”"

    No it isn't. What is this nonsense? Hass Stacy Abrams said there was widespread vote fraud, or sent signals to supporters to be violent? has she said our entire, national election system has been taken over and is full of fraud? Nope. Now go ahead, sidestep.

    Could you explain what this has to do with Abrams still not conceding?

    Yep! "Abrams not conceding", while an offtopic red herring brought up by a desperate righty, is still on the table. As it was brought up to show a commonality, it is important then to note the differences. Thanks for asking!

    Sorry, LM.

    You are Dead WRONG on that one.

    Hillary formally Conceded on Nov. 9th. The day after the Election.

    Do you know why we are discussing Abrams in this thread? It was about whether she conceded or not.

    spoiler alert: She didn't.

    There was never a possibility that a 5 to 3 votes conservative SCOTUS (+1 waffler) was going to entertain the notion that one sovereign American State has any business meddling in the fundamental democratic processes of another. Most especially not when all nine of those justices cannot help but be keenly aware that every issue brought forward in some five dozen lawsuits have already been adjudicated within the States in question, by their own judiciaries. With all those suits having lost and none having provided any evidence to support the stated reasons for the lawsuits.

    So here we had Texas and some joiners-on claiming a right to interfere in the foundations of representative democracy within other states.

    That is an insane fantasy. To believe in it requires either complete ignorance of the American concept of State Sovereignty, Federalism and Representative Democracy. Or, it requires a partisan form of political hucksterism that has not been witnessed since the Confederacy attacked the Union after the Republican Party was itself formed to save the Union, and was then elected to do so.

    That was the War of Southern Aggression. What is being talked about today is a War of Sore Loser Crackpottery Aggression. It too shall be defeated, if it ever truly begins.

    What is being done now is as much Sedition and Treason as was done then, with the singular exception that the complainants have not raised up in organized, armed rebellion.

    Biden was elected. Fair and square and by a substantial margin in the popular vote and the exact same margin as Trump in the Electoral vote. These are facts, arrived at via the most trustworthy system of representative democracy on the planet.

    This is all why Trump lost and shall continue to lose, because he fundamentally does not comprehend our Republic and desires it to be something else, he knows not what.

    Because you didn't know who we were talking about, I actually am welcome that your uninformed comment tracks so well with the other uninformed comments here from your side, so...thank you!

    Yes, it was brought up by a desperate righty in a thread about trump not conceding in a laughable attempt to present equivalence where none exists. Thanks for asking!

    Setting aside your patronizing comment, modern liberalism doesn't rebuke classic liberalism, it embraces it and and explands on it, noting that at the time, there were disagreements on a number of policies, it just modern liberalism recognizes that societies grow and become more complex over time, and thus classic liberalism has to have additions and modifications to accommodate a vastly larger and complex society which no founding father could have imagined at the time. Noam Chomsky often reveals how conservatives misinterpret classic liberalism, ie., Adam Smith and others (such as the misunderstood 'invisible hand' metaphor). but, the subject is beyond the scope of a comment on a forum such as this. In fact, so-called 'conservatives' today, are a pale shadow of their former selves, and have reduced their broader philosophy of the past to a parochial 'neoliberalism' philosophy today.

    Chomsky comments on classic liberalism.

    Sorry, LM.

    I thought this Topic was About PRESIDENTIAL Politics.

    Isn't that what the OP is about?

    I hadn't realized that this thread had been hijacked into an off-topic discussion involving an insignificant Governor's Race from 2 years ago.

    Off-topic, Much?:bored:

    In any event, since thread has veered wildly off-topic, who do yoh like in the CFP?
    Alabama or Clemson?
    Any early Oscar Predictions?

    Carry on.:salute:

    I don't understand. Are there whites whose support you appreciate, or would you rather "go it alone"?

    I would rather do without the white liberal. I have had too many of them come up to me over the years saying that we are “allies,” I’m assuming based on my appearance, only to receive the cold shoulder from them when they found out that I was not a Clinton or Obama supporter, and then later on when they found out that I supported President Trump. They are only an “ally” to the minority person of color until they discover that the person of color can think for themselves, are off the plantation, and do not do what is expected of them like a proper slave is supposed to do.

    I care about your well being because you are a human. We can see the contrast between your contrived rhetoric and humanism.
