The empty GOP midterm victory of 2014

[A Theist]

I hear this claim every election and it never turns out to be true.

Uh-huh...that's why President Blackenstein beat the shit out of your two old white fuckups.

...and the Republicans just beat the shit out of your democommies in the national and state wide mid-terms. It took six years for the voters to wake up and realize that they've had enough of barack ocommie. Others who didn't vote were so unmotivated by the results of the democommies over the last six years they didn't even bother to show up at the polls.

I see now that you have absolutely no idea what communism is.
No joke intended here, really you should look it up.

I'm sure you could tell me all about it.

Well yes, but I thought you might want to research on your own, but if you insist.

Pull up a chair and come gather ye round as I ye the tale of a man. A man with a strong social conscience who noticed the vast inequalities that the capitalist system built into society where the majority of people toiled for the good of a few, where the majority were oppressed used, abused and discarded by the wealthy that infested the land. A man by the name of Karl Marx.
A man who thought dared to think society would be better if instead of everyone working to line the pockets of a few fat bastards who leached off the workers, that everyone should work for the good of all with a fair wage for a fair days work, where the man at the top should not get in a morning on the golf course what his workers earned in lifetime of hard toil.
Communism is about society working for the best interests of everyone and not unevenly supporting a class of uber wealthy crooks. American society has a similar distribution of wealth to pre-revolutionary france and people seem to accept this unfairness for some reason.
The world has never seen a real communist government. They have all been on the Soviet model which exchanged one sort of overlord for another which is not real communism.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of you sharing your experiences as a committed communist. Karl Marx was a lazy bum with mental issues who mooched off his working buddy, Friedrich Engels. This caused contention between the two later on.

To put it blunt, the GOP can win the White House in 2016, and the foreseeable future beyond, if Democrats don't bother fielding a candidate. The big midterm blowout was 17% of the electorate.

I think the GOP's best hope is either a lopsided turnout or for a new party to split the Democrats. And they appear to be on the wrong side of both of those at present. Things seem relatively stable these days, with the economy slowly improving. If things do go very badly the next two years, it will happen while the GOP has control of both the House and Senate. And the GOP is dealing with the "libertarian" movement and a Tea Party that is siphoning votes from Republicans wherever they can field a candidate.

Although I am sympathetic to socialism it may surprise you to know that I am not a communist.
It's all about extremes with some people isn't it! If I don't believe economic inequality is a good thing then I must be a damn ruskie!
Well I'm afraid your American tendency to hyperbole has missed its mark.

Communism is viable in some circumstances. A convent or monastery is essentially a communist system.
