To The Left, If You Are Bemused And Confused, This Might Help.

If you can't understand what's happening, Jonathan Pie explains it very well. Some fruity language. Thanks to zebo for posting this on another thread I thought it would benefit from a thread of it's own.

Already seen it. There's some truth to it I'm sure, although I maintain that, as Trump's support also came from people who are just Republican anyway, it's a massive oversimplification.

Also, why are the "Left" so keen on self-flagellation?

Jim, as I said on the other thread this goes far beyond party politics. The man is right.

[jim360]

The Left needs to be more open anyway, for sure. Same on some elements of the right. Politics on all sides needs to be more open and less extreme.

[ToraToraTora]

the overriding sentiment is: Stop name calling when someone doesn't agree and try and comprehend why.

[naomi24]

As the man says the left need to stop trying to shut everyone else up.

[jim360]

Well, hopefully they'll be more open. All I am saying is that it's a lesson that isn't just for some on the left to learn.

Gulliver, if you have something to say to me, have the courage to say it.

and dja think Trump responded - uncle Vlad you do what you think is right. you're a good man and I can trust you. SO long as it doesnt cost me a penny do what the hell ya want

Sorry Zebo to have confused you with someone called Jonathan Pie
I think, whoever he is, he needs to calm down a bit.
Entertaining but that's about it

Is this in any way representative of what the News section of the AnswerBank has now become?

Name-calling?

Really?

Hmm...

Out of interest - are your posts a launching point for debate, or are they an exercise in point scoring?

I think you must know - you can't be that thick.
