Obama happened (which I personally would consider a very successful president). What makes you certain he can't turn out to be alright?

Small steps, won't coerce companies, won't invest as much as needed for the renewables, etc. They didn't even talk about the environment during the second debate... On May 08 2017 04:39 SoSexy wrote: What do you hope to achieve by using this language? Nothing particular? Vultures feed on dead corpses, that's exactly what the far-right does, so the comparison seemed conceptually interesting/valid to me. I call her useless because the established order can use the FN over and over to maintain itself despite the existence of a sociological majority to change things. | ||

.If Le Pen is a vulture then Macron is something akin to a bloodletting doctor. A sick patient, offered a cure that won't work but is credible in an arcane and outdated logic. | ||

That's not exactly true now is it. 2. Even if it were true that wouldn't be "funny" because when we decide who is extreme in their political ideology we do that by looking at their ideas, not their actions. | ||

Kind of a pretty mediocre hope that Europe has. But they'll be able to toe the line for a few more years now since their candidate won. | ||

Can't really remember the Molotovs for Brexit or Orban or whenever the SVP wins something (which has been less often in the recent past btw)... My second point makes complete sense. Hi, I'm a nazi, I think inferior races are the bane of the world. However I'm not doing anything about it. What, you come at me with an aggressive tone saying that I'm wrong about the world? Why are you so aggressive, I think your reaction is kind of extreme. Makes me think perhaps you're the extremist. Do you see why this doesn't work? It doesn't work because we're attempting to qualify content, not form. | ||
