Puna Politics Leftists Beware!

[Old Croc]

This might make your heads explode.
(from the Washington Examiner Feb 5, 2019):

Former KKK leader David Duke has switched his allegiance from President Trump to Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard.

I find any statement, post, that starts with something like "leftist" or whatever name one wants to call those they wish to demean, to be lacking in anything serious. Maybe Old Croc, even though they say it is hard for old to learn new, tricks, might want to consider rephrasing their statements to at least try and encourage discourse, rather than start a fight.

For anyone who has followed Tulsi's political career over the years, what's the surprise? I've said it before and I'll say it again, in any other state she'd be a Republican.

The point is that this endorsement is like

There's another option.
A KKK endorsement of Tulsi, or your examples, none of those actions necessarily have anything to do with anything else.
Crazy can operate in a vacuum.

@hopte... I've said it before and I'll say it again, in any other state she'd be a Republican.

and I suggest you'd be wrong again...Tulsi is Against War...I further suggest repubs and dems alike love WAR

"I find any statement, post, that starts with something like "leftist"..."

Just out of curiosity, if "leftist" is demeaning, what is a non-demeaning term that doesn't trigger?

Serious question, BTW, I'm not trying to make any point here just not the most politically correct person in the world and trying to learn manners.

"Former KKK leader David Duke has switched his allegiance from President Trump to Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard."

How is this surprising? The KKK has always been the militant/terrorist arm of the democratic party. Don't people remember history, at all?

"Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders..."

The KKK... militant/terrorist arm of the democratic party. Don't people remember history, at all?

Apparently they only remember history before 1964. After that, Southern Dems all became Republicans when Civil Rights legislation was passed.
Or are you getting the jump on April Fools Day terracore?

It’s hard to imagine any kind of scenario where Hawaii Democrats advocate white supremacy. They’d lose 2/3rds of the vote right off the bat.
