#471874 — Democrats Blowing it Again

Editorial from the New York Times (of all places) written by a man who hates 
Trump.

~~
Democrats Are Blowing It, Again

Liberals have become Donald Trump’s unwitting allies.

By Bret Stephens — Opinion Columnist

Michael Kelly, the legendary journalist who died covering the invasion of 
Iraq in 2003, once wrote that the “animating impulse” of modern liberalism 
was to “marginalize itself and then enjoy its own company. And to make 
itself as unattractive to as many as possible.”

“If it were a person,” he added, “it would pierce its tongue.”

I thought of that line while reading a tweet from Nate Cohn, The Times’s 
polling guru: “Take everything together, and, on balance, it’s been a good 
10 days of state/cd polling for the GOP in a lot of important 
battlegrounds.”

The “cd” refers to congressional districts, where Republicans now have at 
least a fighting chance of holding on to a majority despite the widely 
anticipated blue wave. Even better are Republican chances of holding the 
Senate. On Sept. 30, RealClearPolitics gave the G.O.P. a lock on 47 seats, 
with 9 tossups. Now it’s 50 and 6, with races in Tennessee, Texas, and North 
Dakota increasingly leaning right. Donald Trump’s approval rating is also up 
from a month ago.

This wasn’t supposed to happen. Not during a midterm when the opposition 
party almost always gains seats. Not after 21 months of Trumpian chaos. Not 
after a year of #MeToo. Not after Christine Blasey Ford’s emotional 
testimony and Brett Kavanaugh’s angry retort.

And yet it is. Predictably. Once again, American liberalism has pierced its 
own tongue.

It pierced its tongue on CNN this week, when Hillary Clinton told Christiane 
Amanpour that “you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to 
destroy what you stand for, what you care about.” And when former Attorney 
General Eric Holder said Sunday, “When they go low, we kick ’em.”

It pierced its tongue last week when New York’s Representative Jerrold 
Nadler pledged to use a Democratic House majority to open an investigation 
into Kavanaugh’s alleged perjury and the “whitewash” investigation by the 
F.B.I. A party that can’t change its mind and won’t change the subject meets 
the classic definition of a fanatic.

It pierced its tongue last month when Cory Booker and Kamala Harris turned 
Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing into audition tapes for their presidential 
bids, complete with “I am Spartacus” histrionics and bald misrepresentations 
about Kavanaugh’s views on racial profiling and contraception.

It pierced its tongue when Minority Leader Chuck Schumer chose to make 
Kavanaugh’s confirmation the year’s decisive political test, rather than run 
a broad referendum on Trump’s inglorious tenure. As I wrote in July, the 
political strategy was guaranteed to hurt red-state Democrats, as they were 
put “to the choice of looking like political sellouts if they vote for 
Kavanaugh, or moral cowards if they don’t.” 

It pierced its tongue when The New Yorker violated normal journalistic 
standards by reporting Deborah Ramirez’s uncorroborated allegation against 
Kavanaugh, and much of the rest of the media gave credence to Julie 
Swetnick’s lurid one. The pile-on wound up doing more to stiffen Republican 
spines against an apparent witch hunt than it did to weaken their resolve in 
the face of Blasey’s powerful accusation.

It pierced its tongue when Susan Collins and other female Republicans who 
supported Kavanaugh’s confirmation were denounced as “gender traitors” in an 
eye-opening op-ed in this newspaper. Approximately 30 million women voted 
for Trump in 2016, and many of them (along with at least a few Clinton 
supporters) surely felt just as Collins did. Are they all “traitors,” too?

There’s more. Maxine Waters urging protesters to hound Republicans out of 
restaurants and pursue them at department stores and gas stations. A #MeToo 
movement that moved all-too swiftly from righteous indignation against 
undoubted predators like Harvey Weinstein to a vendetta culture based on 
rumors and whisper networks based on self-censorship. Twitter mobs getting 
people fired and speakers canceled.

Much of this is now making its way into the G.O.P.’s ad campaign for the 
midterms. That’s natural because the left has given Republicans so much 
material to work with.

Much of this also merely echoes the uncivil politics that have been 
practiced by Trump and his followers from the moment he started campaigning 
for the presidency. But if the most liberals can say for their political 
tactics is that they aren’t as bad as Trump’s, they are indicting themselves 
twice — for imitating the wrong model, and for doing it worse.

I write all this as someone who is on record hoping Republicans get pummeled 
in the midterms — a fitting electoral rebuke for their slavish devotion to 
an unfit president and their casual abandonment of long-held conservative 
principles. America desperately needs a party that stands for sanity and 
moderation, not extremism and demagoguery.

In 2018, Democrats had a chance to become that party. Once again, they’re 
flubbing it. It’s a pity both sides can’t lose, but maybe a midterm 
disappointment might teach liberals that they won’t beat Trump in 2020 by 
out-clowning him.

At times, a make believe world is more valuable than facts. 

Don't be insane, John Gohde... even you have kill filtered that halfwit. Given what owl is (and does) nobody should blame you for pushing to be rid of his ridiculous type of flapdoodle. 

No one here has ever read my program, much less found a bug; still, in my subconscious, I'm thinking, "Did I do all the error checking I could". Where did you learn to program? 

Please give an example of a profitable enterprise that has built its fortune by not caring about its clients and services. The cult-like herd's reverse compiled Wayland with (it appears) the Baum–Welch method to automate texts which are made to sound like a response from John Gohde's.

Of course, the sole thing that concerns Sandman, AKA Jonas Eklundh is appearing "moral", and if he can not have that he will create socks to effectively kick Steve Carroll down, which is immature as hell. 

They imply asking for a suggestion for a Linux application is trolling. 

Ha! C'mon, hombre... even you have blocked that loon. Given what he is nary a soul would find fault with you for pushing to be rid of his type of crap. 

I'm well aware the posts I link to from YouTube is complete layperson level; that said, it serves its purpose. Pro tip: You will not go into a cult meeting, quaff all the moonshine, pound all the goats, steal the baubles, and technicolor yawn in the restroom without being observed. 

Sandman, AKA Jonas Eklundh's behavior is really entirely deceitful. There's no ambiguity that as soon as any former 'plonked person' does something to wound the little coward's feelings that they'll be blocked again. 

Why would you want to cap GNU/Linux on open source tools to what can be done on commercial OSs?

Both Sandman and Klaus Schadenfreude had their failures and their pickles. One presented it well and didn't do anything too appalling that could not be tricking people until it was too late. Your system will crawl while downloading the mass of flood posts. And it takes a long time. Having to deal with the use of macOS would just confuse the general user. 

You _do_ realize that the massive floods ending up in multiple groups started out as a joke about hacking Google.

This is undoubtedly a pastime of mine. Thanks to Steven Carroll and his 'co-trolls' you now need a reverse spam filter. Do a Google Groups search, for the most part I lately stopped giving him what he's asked for (as of this summer). If people start attacking him again I will slip in my resolve... as I've always stated I would. I'm referring to good people here, not Steven Carroll's friends, who have been talking to him the whole time. 

BTW, I've already proved that his use of "herd" to describe Snit is libel, since he's likening them to beef cattle. You likely think Ubuntu handles the desktop well. Nope. Not compared to Windows. I bet he thinks his wife's life was hard. If you have 'a.txt' open in a program such as Cooledit and you want to change its name to 'windows.pdf' via a hot key, that might be OK.

What Flooder 'The Shill' Carroll really means: His legendary "technical support competence" blinded him to a plugin he wants that can be quickly Googled for Scrivener. Not long ago I did work on and showed some C# for the front end (only works on Scrivener) which is the only thing you can do when trying to avoid Flooder 'The Shill' Carroll's immature crap while reading with Google Groups. Nobody is being controlled by the MSM. 

Which regular knows PHP, is an avid scripter, has hacked Takuya Saitoh's account, has poor impulse control and is a colossal whiningloser who, when he gets a bad case of narcissistic rage/injury going, posts all kinds of ridiculous crap even when he's not flooding... AND... who struggles to pin everything HE is doing on "anyone he can" and has for over a decade? So why the added need to send a request via Scrivener in a desktop system? Predictably, he didn't list this as part of his inevitably self-serving 'barometer' <shrug>. 

How is wasting potential gray matter tied to a random neuron generator in any way going to lead to valuable usenet writing? Over and over, the surface request is Flooder 'The Shill' Carroll wants to "talk tech", but Flooder 'The Shill' Carroll spends most of his time whining about "trolling". It's a decades long brawl, and Flooder 'The Shill' Carroll is simultaneously an expert bullshitter of trolling remarks, while posting with socks with a myriad of tells.

LXQt is likely my second favorite DE and the only one I advocate to Windows morons. Primary interface is MATE, though. A large number of core applications is all you need after Klaus Schadenfreude messes things up. 

At times, an inner world is more valuable than reality. Idiot. Now Jesus Christ on the other end of the crap doesn't matter. All that matters is Klaus Schadenfreude gets to deliver the payload. So how to win? Don't do anything but ignore the nonsense. Logic isn't part of the plan and never can be. 

Why does Klaus Schadenfreude focus on his own pride so much? He is as incompetent as Klaus Schadenfreude. 

By being taught by 'teachers' like that you get concepts like 'equality'. Carried to its (un)reasonable intent, the media position that it's 'immoral' for a heterosexual normal guy to not wish to screw a gay man is created.

Ending support for 16 bit apps is long overdue. I guess this is what happens when deeply negative self-respect takes over The Script Troller's worldview. Perhaps you use it erroneously. Do you not fathom the use of proxies?

If you call getting your ass *kicked hard* left and right every single day by numerous people (and completely trashing your reputation and any reason for anyone to trust anything you have to say - forever) 'trolling', then yeah... he was a good troll. I don't personally subscribe to that definition, I use another term, I call that person a total idiot.

> He's lost that ability. Probably too many bad drugs.

He's toned down all the zillions of narcissistic, BS threads he used to create but he's really not much different in the honesty dept. He just uses socks more now to create those threads. Not that there weren't already plenty of reasons to suspect this ridiculous sock as coming from Snit but this thread shows that he's slipping in this respect:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!original/comp.os.linux.advocacy/cTXTtY57SjM/n9mXLZpIVXoJ

I was being given GPG info and help by owl and we were both pretty much ignoring Snit all the way through. So who appears, who hadn't posted in a couple of days and then only posted to that thread on that day after Snit got tired of being ignored?

This is merely an amusement of mine. 

Too many advocates keep talking to Sandman. Frankly I don't chide Klaus Schadenfreude for his fury but, truly, I can not figure out why he stays here with Sandman here. Klaus Schadenfreude is better suited to dialog as is common in a formal group and free newsgroups will never work for him. With no reason at all, as is expected for Sandman.

A lot of people think I'm an ass, but I have no idea what "Sinister" is 
responding to here. Apparently I irritated him in some way.

It's his problem but he does not care. Obviously he would rather attack than face reality. Slimer messed with Deplorable Owl as much as he deserves, big f*cking deal. No need to be a whiny bitch about it? I can not agree with that. Insensitivity is insensitivity and there are all kinds of people who are OK with it. A few are even musicians.Just look at your 'tasks' and look at Slimer's, there is nothing for me to learn from a fool like Deplorable Owl. But so be it, let him keep making a dolt of himself. I am sure one of his stooges will come to the rescue. Deplorable Owl is repeatedly seen insisting "GOOGLE HAS NOTHING" when it comes to details on a website where information is easy to find... but Deplorable Owl is just too ignorant or distracted to recognize any advice he sees.
