    I knew you were kidding, although I don't know Charles. By all means, say whatever you want about the never trump side. We've heard worse from Donald Trump himself, calling us "human scum". But perhaps for the sake of your own dignity and self respect you shouldn't call people "pinko-commies" for the mere "sin" of not supporting Donald Trump. But do whatever you want. It's your reputation, not mine.

      Although Cow Poke doesn't need anyone defending him, I will butt in for a moment and just say that he has several recurring jokes, and "pinko commie" is one of them. It's not meant to be taken literally.

        Wow.... a WHOLE lot of "assumin" goin on there. I don't consider it a "sin" to "not support Donald Trump", so ya got that part wrong.
        Perhaps, if you had any dignity or self respect, you might try to avoid false accusations against a brother.

        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Otherwise, no, it would just be you being inaccurate and misleading people.

            By my logic, the correct terms for people here who vote for the Democratic party and regularly post about how they support the policies and positions of the Democratic party, would be... Democrats.
            And yet as Lenin so succinctly put it: "The goal of Socialism is Communism." So all you Socialists are nothing but Communists who haven't admitted it and you just prefer to vote for those who also want to keep their true leanings secret.


            And at least here in the U.S. you generally can't detect any daylight between the Socialist platform and the Communist platform so it really does matter little which you pick.

              The expression goes back nearly a hundred years so there are a variety of places you might have picked it up from. And Uneasy Rider has "pinko" and Commie" in the same sentence but not adjoining one another.

                Yeah, I kinda think I picked it up from Archie Bunker always harping on Meathead.

                        I pointed that out after the El Paso shooting. The shooter was typically characterized as being right-wing because of his support for nationalism and in spite of the fact that the rest of his views were typically far left.

                          Hi OBP,
                          I guess Left Wing Nationalism is a thing, but that wouldn't apply to Right Wing Nationalism. Nationalism in America seems to be more of a right wing thing. Nobody on the left is saying "leave America" but plenty on the right are. Since I am not Pro-Trump I was told that I "hate America" and I "hate God" and neither of those things are true.

                            This brings up the observation that during an election you almost never hear a conservative threaten to leave the country if their choice doesn't win. That seems to be almost exclusively a liberal thing.

                                If someone wants to leave America, what is that to me? That doesn't affect me. If someone says to me "Get out of America" that makes me angry. Who do they think they are to say that to me?
