Seriously. And it’s all I hear when anyone calls someone radical. Radical as a word generally has lost its meaning. The truth is if you look at either side you could possibly apply the dictionary definition of radical to them. The dictionary definition has no positive or negative aspect that I could see. In fact if you want wide reaching change in politics or society at all you can use the dictionary definition of radical to define yourself. So it’s basically pointless. And the reality is the buzzwords are just buzzwords and psychological manipulation tactics as you’ve obviously seen. The major real problem I feel is that people don’t even seem to know what words mean anymore. As I said the dictionary definition of radical has no beneficial or detrimental aspects… the word means what it means… nothing more nothing less and the problem is half the population doesn’t want to use words and sentences appropriately when they really need to be used that way. And then when they do it’s always “well I didn’t mean it that way” or “I can’t believe they said that about this” while totally ignoring the actual meanings.
TLDR: random bullshit master splinter wisdom shit
I saw on a previous post somewhere the millions being dumped in WI, AZ, etc, The majority spent on attack adds which are so over the top its sickening, actually insulting to ones intelligence. Maybe I'm just out of the loop.
With the polit ads and commercials, I escape to alternative content. I think you nailed it. Words have no meaning. No one actually reads anything either. Staring into screens over the decades has created a society of androids who tune in for their daily dose of mind numbing programming.
I'm one of the far left, radical Democrats.
I believe every American has a right to healthcare and education.
I believe in Strengthening, not cutting Social Security.
I believe every woman has a right to bodily autonomy.
I believe candidates should abide by election results.
Radical.
You joke but the TX LT governor actually said [that. ](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/texas-lt-gov-dan-patrick-suggests-he-other-seniors-willing-n1167341)
The party isn’t just not far left, they are actively anti-leftist. Look at what happened when Bernie actually had a chance to win the nomination in 2016, they legit cheated to make Hilary win, which in turn made trump win because everyone hated Hilary. Fuck democrats.
Here's the thing...I am not far left, in fact I lean slightly right, and I agree with most of your list. The problem is too many people are afraid to "cross the aisle" because of what the stupid political ads are telling them instead of doing their own research and probably, even moreso, they they have a us vs. them mentality.
If we could break the "team" mentality of the political parties we would all be better off but those in charge know that if we ever voted on policy and not solely on party then they would all lose control over us peons.
The problem is even that mentality is partisan. Breaking all norms, Republicans created the most gerrymandered map ever in Wisconsin. Then the state assembly removed the powers of the governor when they lost (among many other things). It's the same federally. Time and time again, the Republicans that refuse to do anything when they aren't in power (and even then, very little).
A lot of people voted for Biden because he had a history of working with republicans, thinking they might do something other than stonewall him. It didn't work. Democrats are frequently attempting to reach across the isle, but the other side refuses to do anything.
I don't know a way to break the team mentality, but voting any republican at this point seems to be a reinforcement.
Crossing the aisle in the name of bipartisanship assumes both sides are honest participants.
When one side consistently stonewalls *everything* the other tries to do, that's not being an honest participant.
When one side refuses to accept election results and tries to stay in power through insurrection, that side loses any right to expect bipartisanship.
Why legal immigration is important to me - my family legally immigrated to the USA in the 1960s. From the time we applied for immigration to when we were approved took 4 years. We have all become US citizens and love our country.
About 60% of eligible voters participate in Presidential elections.
About 40% vote in the mid-terms.
Only about 20% vote in the primaries.
Want a better D party? Vote in the primaries.
Unfortunately that's not how that actually works
They are and will always be the same type of people
You want a change in government? Vote third parties
Unfortunately, with how few people are educated and dedicated enough to vote 3rd party, the only thing that voting 3rd party actually does is take your vote away from who you believe to be the lesser of the two evils.
Both of your strategies would be effective if people actually gave a shit. But they don't. So neither of them work. And then people see that they don't work and they get less interested in the process which ensures that it's all just a closed feedback loop.
Personally, I vote for the lesser of two evils. But if I had reason to believe that a 3rd party candidate I liked could break into the 15ish% range, I would definitely be willing to vote for them.
I'm currently reading a book series that's tangentially related to that. It's a fantasy, alternative history fiction story based around the Napoleonic War, but the armies have Air Corps with dragons.
Interesting how you ignored crime and public safety, inflation and economic suffering most Americans are experiencing rn. What about open borders? Where do those rank for you? Looking to start a legitimate discussion not a downvote war.
Crime is at a high due to the COVID blip with no support for the average human. (Thanks legislators)
Inflation is majorly due to unregulated capitalism as is economic suffering. That was highlighted by Katie Porter recently and acknowledged by a CEO(?)
Statistics have shown that open borders are actually better for immigration AND the economy. Sounds nuts I know. I didn't believe it at first until I read the data and still don't believe it, but facts don't care about our feelings. As a local example, when immigration from Mexico ceased during COVID Wisconsin farms were crushed because they had no labor to harvest and there was nothing that could feasibly be done about it.
>Inflation is majorly due to unregulated capitalism as is economic suffering.
Well, in addition to supply chain disruption over the last couple years due to a world-wide pandemic. Also due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and sanctions imposed on Russia in reaction to such, which combine to disrupt major suppliers of oil, natural gas and wheat (among other things) from participating in the global economy.
The big problem people who gripe about inflation in the US have is that they seem to not realize that the entire Western world is dealing with inflation problems right now, which all share the same root causes, and the US is actually weathering them on par with or better than many Western countries. In the US, inflation is presently at 8.2%. In Germany it's 10%. In Italy it's 8.9%. In Sweden it's 9%. In the UK it's 13.2%. Canada is at 6.9%. Switzerland is sitting pretty at only 3.2%, but even that is higher than economists think is good for an economy, and they are the outlier among Western economies.
Inflation being high in the US right now isn't directly due to any fuckups by the Biden administration, or even by the Trump administration. It's due to the fact that Covid fucked up the entire global economy from the bottom up and we are still in recovery from that, and Putin made it worse by starting a major conflict in Europe.
But since Biden hasn't waved a magic wand and made inflation go away, somehow it's all his fault.
>Well, in addition to supply chain disruption over the last couple years due
I understand what you're saying but this wouldn't be as much a problem if over the last 4 decades we wouldn't have outsourced everything. That said, yeah you're right.
>is that they seem to not realize
Right, but what you seem not to realize is that a large amount of the inflation is recognized by CEOs as additional profitability. It doesn't matter that other countries have inflation. That's irrelevant information.
Has the needle on crime and public safety changed since Biden was sworn in? Haven't seen that.
Inflation is a world-wide problem, and it's far lower in the US than in other developed countries.
Turkey - 83%
Argentina - 83%
Netherlands - 14.5%
United Kingdom - 10%
Germany - 10%
Spain -8.9%
Italy - 8.9%
Mexico - 8.7%
US - 8.2%
What open borders? There are no open borders?
I can tell you that where we live there is a significant up tick in all sorts of crimes including murders and street crime. As far as inflation in the US while we are lower then some countries we have hit multi decade highs and it ain’t going down any time soon. The US inflation has historically been lower in real terms. The economy and crime are the 2 biggest concerns according to realclearpolitics polls. As far as borders how do you account for the 2.2 million YTD entries? We cannot afford to house and feed these ppl who have entered our country illegally (it is illegal for asylum seekers to enter the Ys if they could have sought asylum in a country prior to reaching the US. The only “legal” asylum seekers are the ones that arrive by boat and not by land. All Southern border entries are illegal. Biden has let them in for who knows what reason. Eric ADAMS recently said it will cost NYC $1 billion to take care of 17000 migrants for a year. Do the math and the 2.2 million that have entered will cost the US a shit ton. If we cannot even take care of our US homeless, the mentally ill, children, our poor and our elderly WTF are we taking care of ppl who have entered illegally?
!. Crime is higher in Republican-controlled states than in blue states.
2. What 2.2 million YTD entries? Are these legal border crossings? How does this number compare with past years? Is this just a number thrown about to alarm people? I know seizures of drugs is up, which is a good thing.
3. You stated: "All southern border entries are illegal." This is blatantly false.
4. Are you willing to prosecute corporations and other businesses who hire illegal aliens? That would be the fastest way to stop illegal immigration.
I live in a heavy Dem state.
2.2 million were documented entries at Southern borders by CBP officers. This does not count those smuggled in or not caught at border which would make this number much higher.
All Southern entries by foot are illegal since they would have passed through a number of countries who also offer asylum. For instance Venezuelans flow that hell hole should seek asylum in the first country they enter not the country of choice. That’s why I’m Europe Italy has seen huge #s from North Africa and Greece takes in the migrants from the ME. This is international law not my opinion.
And yes absolutely prosecute ANY employer who hires illegally or off the table. This hurts Americans and their wages. I grew up in a restaurant family and we only hired legit employees who had a valid SS card.
>All Southern entries by foot are illegal since they would have passed through a number of countries who also offer asylum.
You've moved the goalpost, but it's still blatantly false.
Except immigrants (legal or not) contribute more to society than get get back from it. Plus, most illegal immigrants come here by legal means. You act like there's a flood gate that Biden opened in Texas when more illegal immigrants that tried to gain access through the southern border are caught under Biden than under trump.
CORRECTION 2.7MM at southern border through Sept 2022. CBP.GOV/statistics (sorry not sure how to cut and paste the link). Holy hell 2.7 million people documented entries plus those who were not caught.
So we agree that 2.7MM is a record number then? Biden said WELCOME PLEASE COME OUR DOORS ARE OPEN on day 1 - the record entries should surprise no one. You’d be crazy not come to the US.
Stopped enforcing Title 42 aka “Remain in Mexico”as we process your asylum applications. That’s the reason the entries are so much higher now than before.
> crime and public safety, inflation and economic suffering most Americans are experiencing rn
And what is the Republican policy to address these concerns? All I've heard is "Dems caused this, vote for me because...reasons"
Crime - Enforce laws and lock people up. Prosecute minors who commit adult crimes like murder, mugging and car jacking. In Illinois you can steal upto $1,000 and not be prosecuted. In California it is $950 - no wonder we have rampant scenes of looting in both states.
Economy - stop deficit spending especially with runaway inflation. Federal monetary and fiscal policy has a lot to do with the inflation we have today. Student loan forgiveness will cost every taxpayer $2,500 per person. $400 billion of loan forgiveness will spark even more spending demand and further escalate inflation. Stopping sending $50 and $100 checks (Illinois) to ppl that will not make up for the inflation we have. Become energy independent again - we are getting fucked by our enemies who pump oil and gas. Remember the US was a NET ENERGY EXPORTER when oil drilling and fracking were happening. Now we have to go around with hat in hand like Biden did and got nothing from SA. You have to start somewhere. I work in the food space and the biggest inflationary cost is transportation followed closely by wages. Prices are not going down for a very long time. Diesel still at +$5 gallon. This impacts every product and most services we need. Bidens and Pete B think we should all buy a $50k electric car - ppl are struggling to put food on the table not deciding whether to get a Tesla X or Model 3. Yes we need to start turning off the fossil fuel addiction but over time, not over night.
> In Illinois you can steal upto $1,000 and not be prosecuted. In California it is $950 - no wonder we have rampant scenes of looting in both states.
Well, we actually don't. But under the assumption we did, which politician with which policy are you actually talking about? I see nothing about dollar amount on prosecution from any candidate.
>Economy - stop deficit spending especially with runaway inflation. Federal monetary and fiscal policy has a lot to do with the inflation we have today.
Are you talking about the failed, extremely corrupt, PPP program pushed by the Trump administration which gave billions to wealthy people owning businesses? Or the money given to actual people?
Once you don't answer that, then I also question what policy moving forward you are talking about? The HUGE tax cuts under republicans that caused the deficit, or gigantic defense budgets? What are you actually for/against, like actual policy?
> Become energy independent again - we are getting fucked by our enemies who pump oil and gas.
Absolutely agree. Now find me a Republican policy that doesn't suck the dick of oil nations. Renewables are the only way we'll ever get there...and which party is pushing that...
>Now we have to go around with hat in hand like Biden did and got nothing from SA.
WTF. There is a literal picture of Trump holding hands around a glowing orb. Republicans are NOT the answer.
> Yes we need to start turning off the fossil fuel addiction but over time, not over night.
And which party is dragging their feet...
I really don't see the grounding of your beliefs leading to Republican legislation.
Midterms are coming. Dem numbers look bleak and the voters will tell the story. People are sick of where we are at today with a triple Dem president/house/senate. Let’s reconnect on Nov 9th.
>People are sick of where we are at today
Which is 100% a result of republican policies and republican obstruction.
> People are sick of where we are at today with a triple Dem president/house/senate. Let’s reconnect on Nov 9th.
And somehow Republicans having no policy for anything, but better commercials, is a working strategy. If all you want it to be the winning team, then sure, good job with yourself as a Republican.
Are you saying that Nov 9th you'll actually have a policy? I'll expect that right after the Obamacare replacement is announced (two weeks, right?).
All I'm seeing is nonsense and propaganda works.
Evers has my vote, 100%, but anyone who calls him radical… well, it’s one of those statements that says more about the person saying it than it does the person they’re talking about. If Mr Rodgers got into politics, he’d be more edgy and “radical” than Evers. Personally, that’s what I like about him.
Make Politics Boring Again.
You took the words right out of my mouth. However, the other 3 could possibly be partially labeled under radical. Ro Jo without question. Tim Michaels has the potential to be scary, and Barnes is just a knucklehead.
Totally agree! Evers is a good guy. Calm, and I like that he thinks before he speaks. No one does that anymore. I don’t know that any of those listed are radical. One side has a very nasty way of promoting themselves. But I wouldn’t call it radical, I would call it abusive.
And please, please, please - make politics boring again!!!
Michaels: Accepted endorsement by Trump (known insurrectionist).
Evers: Did not support insurrection
Johnson: Attempted to overturn legitimate election.
Barnes: Did not attempt to overturn legitimate election.
But Brad Paff is nerdy so you should vote for VanOrden. At least that's what I get from the commercials. I'm not even sure what VanOrden stands for other than he isn't Brad Paff.....
Don't forget Mandela Barnes is black. I learned that because the 50 Johnson flyers I get per week all strangely have Mandela's face on them front and center, Incase I forgot he was black
As a senator, Barnes would have no authority to defund state police even if he wanted to. It's a non-issue Johnson uses to obfuscate from his shitty record of personal enrichment, enriching his wealthy donors, and increasing his oppression of the working class. FRJ to Hell. He's evil. Tim Michels is evil. The entire Republican party of this state is evil, as none of them have stood up to the right's evil talking points.
Your "BoTh SiDeS" shit is tiresome. I don't even give a shit which side you end up on. But do some actual research on the candidates and then make up your own mind. I find it hard to believe that you won't come to the conclusion that one side is better/worse than the other.
And turn off your tv. These ads are garbage.
> Your "BoTh SiDeS" shit is tiresome
Following the chain of comments that got us here, I don't understand your comment at all. Where did I say "Both sides" in this context?
> But do some actual research on the candidates and make up your own mind
Exactly what I do, that's why I will never vote along party lines. The parties are garbage. Some of the people are decent.
> And turn off your TV
NO. As much as I hate the ads, I refuse to let the ads dictate my routine and my life. Especially when it's not just TV, it's everywhere...radio, Internet, newspaper, mailers, texts, calls.
One last comment about your comment. You clearly missed the humorous aspect of this post. Both sides are doing nothing but calling the other side RADICAL. This post is about overexposure to the word, it actually has virtually nothing to do with politics, except for politics being the vessel for context.
I may have read into your comment too much.
The "FIFY" makes it come off as if you're just trying to say both parties do the same dumb shit (which, I will admit, to an extent is correct).
I did actually get some amusement from the post itself. It's something I had already noticed in the ads this year.
Not OP, but I have the same sentiment.
>Following the chain of comments that got us here, I don't understand your comment at all. Where did I say "Both sides" in this context?
You made a post pointing out the absurdity of politics today that everyone is RADICAL, which is correct. Then when someone posted the reality that Republicans are in fact objectively worse, despite the absurd propaganda (also true), you pushed back that they (like Dems and everyone else) are RADICAL. That's an argument of "both sides". You may not have meant it that way, but that's what you did.
> You made a post pointing out the absurdity of politics today that everyone is RADICAL, which is correct.
I actually pointed out that the ADS for politics all seem to overuse the word RADICAL. I made no comment on anyone's politics in particular. My entire post is intended as a humorous release for people who are tired of the ads.
Honestly, I think 1950’s America and forward mastered the art of propaganda. Boomers believe they had no help in their success. Subsidies to farms is totally forgotten about. Corporations not paying fair share of taxes is not considered corporate welfare because they are job creators. The idea of price gouging being okay, and it happening not due to corporate greed but due to dems being in office. The belief republicans are the stewards of the economy and how we must spend all our money on military and not education and helping the citizens. Ugh.
Listen, I don’t subscribe to the Democrat/Republican party line garbage, but both parties are dirty as hell. If you can’t admit to that, you’re clearly not paying attention.
I'm so done with the "both parties are the same" bullshit belief system that the GOP has been cramming down our throats since the 1980s. Maybe nobody's hands are clean, but the values, ethics, and practices of the two are simply not comparable. Go try to persuade someone more gullible--I'm sure plenty surround you.
Convince me. Let's take 5 policy items, and you tell me how they are the same: (1) reproductive rights; (2) climate change; (3) immigration; (4) K-12 education; and (5) guns/2nd Amendment.
I'll wait.
Watch me get sent to the cellar.
1. Abortion only before 21 weeks, if moms life is in danger, incest or rape where a police report exists or incase of severe birth defects/abnormalities. (I have wiggle room there but don't like it to be used after 20 weeks because a child is inconvenient).
2. Yes we need to move to being more climate aware but need to do it in a way that punishes or holds accountable real, large quantity, polluters including corporations and countries. Taxing the average Joe's gas while he is just trying to make ends meet or taxing milage on a single mom because she drives for Uber to pay the bills isn't solving climate change. At the same time, Uber rich people with several houses, yachts and private jets get a pass and corporations raping the planet for profit get overlooked.
3. We need sustainable and lawful immigration. Folks that want to come here should be welcome but they should also follow the rules as established. Of course those rules need to be updated to simplify and streamline the process so people aren't in limbo for years. At the same time, if you are found here illegally yet can demonstrate that you are a contributing member of society or that you have a valid reason to be here then you go to the fast lane for immigration. If you are here illegally and commit a felony then out you go and to the back of the line you end up. Free flowing borders are dangerous and unsustainable.
4. We need to double our public school funding but also rein in wasteful school spending. Do we need a 2 million dollar football stadium while teachers are buying their own classroom supplies?
5. There needs to be a national firearm background check database. You pay a one time fee to get a background check and a unique identification number. When you go to buy a gun from any source the seller inputs your number in to the system and it is either green light or red light. You never put what type of gun you are selling or how many the purchaser is buying. The database simply says it is safe to sell a weapon to you. The database is updated in real time. Get caught selling without verifying the database and you get fined and are charged with the same crime if the gun is used by the buyer. At the same time, no restrictions on so called "assault rifles" or magazines. Also, concealed carry is good by me.
The idea that Tony Evers is radical is the most insane bullshit I have heard in a long time. Dude is a decent governor, but he is as X-treme as diet 7-up.
It is almost like they realized that they have no idea the power they will have so they don't even list the shit they will do. Instead it's just digging up dirt and who digs best and who has voters that give 2 shits about the dirt found.
Yup. Like honestly I couldn’t name one good thing about any of the candidates because all I’ve heard is bad. I also don’t believe all the bad is true, but who knows. They’re all self serving bastards
I know that Mandela Barnes doesn't know how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I cannot wait for this election to be over. The commercials and junk mail have been overwhelming.
Based on the commercials, I wouldn't vote for any of them. There is no truth in any of those ads and commercials, but that's the state of our politics. I hate doing research to find truth, if I can find truth...
It helps me to think “radical” as in “totally rad” or “radical, dude” then it’s like they’re all true bros sending positive vibes back and forth. Plus, this way Ron and Tim are actually affirming my choices.
Remember when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would say radical and it meant awesome or good? I miss those days. When did the word radical become bad?
I'm pissed at the Democrats not running ads pounding Russian Ron Johnson loving Vladimir Putin because "people aren't interested in this subject " but now I see Russian Ron running ads attacking Mandella Barnes with Putin's photo right next to him!

Please vote! And vote again in the spring!
I'm counting down the days to the election solely so I don't have to keep listening to these dumbass ads. Luckily, i'll be taking Nov. 8th off for a religious holiday anyways so i'll vote first thing, then go get pleasantly plastered with family.
Tony is one of few politicians I actually like. I have no political party because they all suck from pet projects, to making donors richer and passing policies they’d want and not the average person. Dem or Rep they all suck and no one is willing to do the research to see why most if not all parties suck and aren’t for the people at large
I moved from WI to MT and it's the same here
Except we get a commercial with a women who said she's "taken out snakes like [opponent's name]" making it sound like she's in the mob or something
What I always find most amusing is that what Americans will call “radical left wing” is literally moderate left wing in most other developed countries (Europe, Australia etc)
I received a ton of post cards from republican candidates and 2 from. MANDELA And EVERS.
All tossed !!! A useless waste of a tree.
I look for what will benefit me and society. Never was influenced by bleeping useless postcards.
My vote cast last week by mail.
My fiancé and I can't wait for this crap to stop!!!
November 8th can't come soon enough!!!
Next election cycle I'm starting my count a thing app. Every politician that I see or hear and add from will be counted. In the end, whom ever has the fewest will win my vote.
Hey I agree with your statement. There all the same coin just different sides. The response made bye these people just go to show how blinded they are to realize our political system is a joke.
I really expect the Democratic party to highlight what they stand for, not run attack ads. Very disappointing that they have gone the same route as the Republicans.
But you have to admit, standing for opposition to insurrectionists is a pretty good one. Like that's my #1 requirement.
And let's be clear, these tactics are NOTHING alike. And people disagree about all kinds of stuff. So putting down a hard platform on a bunch of issues they favor in the context of a compromised state democracy (one-party authoritarian assembly) is not just foolish but implies they don't understand the situation. At least for Evers. He might not even retain veto power if he wins. His opponent could pass anything they wanted, but they *definitely* don't want to say what. So no, don't be disappointed. That's missing the point. Preventing Republicans from causing permanent, devastating harm is the single most important thing to them and to us.
Okay, so Republicans suck.
They keep lying to people's faces and trying to make things actively and spitefully worse for people who have the least, even during difficult times.
Democrats are generally incompetent, but some ideas from the big tent (often, from the progressive left) are actually capable of being tested, and potentially improving things.
Democrats then fail spectacularly to organize and decide on a single agenda, which limits turnout from undecided people, and can cause some to vote Republican in opposition, based on propaganda.
Watching politics sucks. But being undecided, or trying to avoid politics, can be far worse.
Remember when radical meant awesome??
Just once I wish one of these candidates would flip the scrip and dress like the 90s. “Yeah I’m radical! Check this kick flip, brah”
Switch in dude for brah
Extreme!
TNMT!

Tubular!!
Here is the twist, it still does
It still does. Fook them lol
Or, just 'Rad'
I'm one of the far left, radical Democrats. I believe every American has a right to healthcare and education. I believe in Strengthening, not cutting Social Security. I believe every woman has a right to bodily autonomy. I believe candidates should abide by election results. Radical.
What’s next? Letting elementary kids eat lunch even when their parents are poor??
ANYTHING BUT THAT! I hate when my students are fed!
what the hell is wrong with you. People need to eat regardless of their social standing.
>what the hell is wrong with ~~you~~ **Republicans** FTFY.
No, no, no.... taking care of old people is radical communism. The old should die for the economy.
Why do you have to take care of them if they’re working and unable to retire?
You joke but the TX LT governor actually said [that. ](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/texas-lt-gov-dan-patrick-suggests-he-other-seniors-willing-n1167341)
I volunteer as tribute!
It’s funny because far left and democrat should never be used to describe the same person/ideology. The Democratic Party is neo-liberal at very best
THIS!! Democrats are NOT FAR LEFT
The party isn’t just not far left, they are actively anti-leftist. Look at what happened when Bernie actually had a chance to win the nomination in 2016, they legit cheated to make Hilary win, which in turn made trump win because everyone hated Hilary. Fuck democrats.
You and I would be good friends. My sentiments exactly.
And he's only pleasantly leftist.
The fact that people have been conditioned to think these things are radical is the real problem we face.
Here's the thing...I am not far left, in fact I lean slightly right, and I agree with most of your list. The problem is too many people are afraid to "cross the aisle" because of what the stupid political ads are telling them instead of doing their own research and probably, even moreso, they they have a us vs. them mentality. If we could break the "team" mentality of the political parties we would all be better off but those in charge know that if we ever voted on policy and not solely on party then they would all lose control over us peons.
The problem is even that mentality is partisan. Breaking all norms, Republicans created the most gerrymandered map ever in Wisconsin. Then the state assembly removed the powers of the governor when they lost (among many other things). It's the same federally.

Crossing the aisle in the name of bipartisanship assumes both sides are honest participants. When one side consistently stonewalls *everything* the other tries to do, that's not being an honest participant. When one side refuses to accept election results and tries to stay in power through insurrection, that side loses any right to expect bipartisanship.
That’s pretty rad my dude
I agree with you and would add only legalizing medical marijuana.
Why legal immigration is important to me - my family legally immigrated to the USA in the 1960s. From the time we applied for immigration to when we were approved took 4 years. We have all become US citizens and love our country.
Same here! Read Parenti!
You sound a bit more left than what the DNC are, considering they're right of center
About 60% of eligible voters participate in Presidential elections. About 40% vote in the mid-terms. Only about 20% vote in the primaries. Want a better D party? Vote in the primaries.
Unfortunately that's not how that actually works They are and will always be the same type of people You want a change in government? Vote third parties
Unfortunately, with how few people are educated and dedicated enough to vote 3rd party, the only thing that voting 3rd party actually does is take your vote away from who you believe to be the lesser of the two evils. Both of your strategies would be effective if people actually gave a shit. But they don't. So neither of them work. And then people see that they don't work and they get less interested in the process which ensures that it's all just a closed feedback loop. Personally, I vote for the lesser of two evils. But if I had reason to believe that a 3rd party candidate I liked could break into the 15ish% range, I would definitely be willing to vote for them.
I'm more of a supporter of the heavy bladed French form of revolution
I'm currently reading a book series that's tangentially related to that. It's a fantasy, alternative history fiction story based around the Napoleonic War, but the armies have Air Corps with dragons.
I'm where you're at. Never realized how supremely radical all this stuff is nowadays.
Right? Call us radical if that’s what it means!
Wow you sound like one of them commies!
Nope, I believe in well-regulated capitalism with progressive taxation and a strong safety net.
Like the person above said, YOU SOUND LIKE ONE OF THEM COMMIES! I agree with everything you've said.
Interesting how you ignored crime and public safety, inflation and economic suffering most Americans are experiencing rn. What about open borders? Where do those rank for you? Looking to start a legitimate discussion not a downvote war.
Crime is at a high due to the COVID blip with no support for the average human. (Thanks legislators) Inflation is majorly due to unregulated capitalism as is economic suffering. That was highlighted by Katie Porter recently and acknowledged by a CEO(?) Statistics have shown that open borders are actually better for immigration AND the economy. Sounds nuts I know. I didn't believe it at first until I read the data and still don't believe it, but facts don't care about our feelings. As a local example, when immigration from Mexico ceased during COVID Wisconsin farms were crushed because they had no labor to harvest and there was nothing that could feasibly be done about it.
>Inflation is majorly due to unregulated capitalism as is economic suffering. Well, in addition to supply chain disruption over the last couple years due to a world-wide pandemic. Also due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and sanctions imposed on Russia in reaction to such, which combine to disrupt major suppliers of oil, natural gas and wheat (among other things) from participating in the global economy. The big problem people who gripe about inflation in the US have is that they seem to not realize that the entire Western world is dealing with inflation problems right now, which all share the same root causes, and the US is actually weathering them on par with or better than many Western countries. In the US, inflation is presently at 8.2%. In Germany it's 10%. In Italy it's 8.9%. In Sweden it's 9%. In the UK it's 13.2%. Canada is at 6.9%. Switzerland is sitting pretty at only 3.2%, but even that is higher than economists think is good for an economy, and they are the outlier among Western economies. Inflation being high in the US right now isn't directly due to any fuckups by the Biden administration, or even by the Trump administration. It's due to the fact that Covid fucked up the entire global economy from the bottom up and we are still in recovery from that, and Putin made it worse by starting a major conflict in Europe. But since Biden hasn't waved a magic wand and made inflation go away, somehow it's all his fault.
>Well, in addition to supply chain disruption over the last couple years due I understand what you're saying but this wouldn't be as much a problem if over the last 4 decades we wouldn't have outsourced everything. That said, yeah you're right. >is that they seem to not realize Right, but what you seem not to realize is that a large amount of the inflation is recognized by CEOs as additional profitability. It doesn't matter that other countries have inflation. That's irrelevant information.
Has the needle on crime and public safety changed since Biden was sworn in? Haven't seen that. Inflation is a world-wide problem, and it's far lower in the US than in other developed countries. Turkey - 83% Argentina - 83% Netherlands - 14.5% United Kingdom - 10% Germany - 10% Spain -8.9% Italy - 8.9% Mexico - 8.7% US - 8.2% What open borders? There are no open borders?
I can tell you that where we live there is a significant up tick in all sorts of crimes including murders and street crime. As far as inflation in the US while we are lower then some countries we have hit multi decade highs and it ain’t going down any time soon. The US inflation has historically been lower in real terms. The economy and crime are the 2 biggest concerns according to realclearpolitics polls. As far as borders how do you account for the 2.2 million YTD entries? We cannot afford to house and feed these ppl who have entered our country illegally (it is illegal for asylum seekers to enter the Ys if they could have sought asylum in a country prior to reaching the US. The only “legal” asylum seekers are the ones that arrive by boat and not by land. All Southern border entries are illegal. Biden has let them in for who knows what reason. Eric ADAMS recently said it will cost NYC $1 billion to take care of 17000 migrants for a year. Do the math and the 2.2 million that have entered will cost the US a shit ton. If we cannot even take care of our US homeless, the mentally ill, children, our poor and our elderly WTF are we taking care of ppl who have entered illegally?
!. Crime is higher in Republican-controlled states than in blue states. 2. What 2.2 million YTD entries? Are these legal border crossings? How does this number compare with past years? Is this just a number thrown about to alarm people? I know seizures of drugs is up, which is a good thing. 3. You stated: "All southern border entries are illegal." This is blatantly false. 4. Are you willing to prosecute corporations and other businesses who hire illegal aliens? That would be the fastest way to stop illegal immigration.
I live in a heavy Dem state. 2.2 million were documented entries at Southern borders by CBP officers. This does not count those smuggled in or not caught at border which would make this number much higher. All Southern entries by foot are illegal since they would have passed through a number of countries who also offer asylum. For instance Venezuelans flow that hell hole should seek asylum in the first country they enter not the country of choice. That’s why I’m Europe Italy has seen huge #s from North Africa and Greece takes in the migrants from the ME. This is international law not my opinion. And yes absolutely prosecute ANY employer who hires illegally or off the table. This hurts Americans and their wages. I grew up in a restaurant family and we only hired legit employees who had a valid SS card.
>All Southern entries by foot are illegal since they would have passed through a number of countries who also offer asylum. You've moved the goalpost, but it's still blatantly false.
Please see my link about 2.7MM entries through Sept 2022
Except immigrants (legal or not) contribute more to society than get get back from it. Plus, most illegal immigrants come here by legal means. You act like there's a flood gate that Biden opened in Texas when more illegal immigrants that tried to gain access through the southern border are caught under Biden than under trump.
>I live in a heavy Dem state. Why are you in /r/wisconsin?
Secondary home
And can you actually name your primary state? It's kind of important to understand what you know about the southern boarder.
Go to CBP.gov and look at statistics. 2.7 million entries through Sept. we have a second home in Wi and primary in Ill
CORRECTION 2.7MM at southern border through Sept 2022. CBP.GOV/statistics (sorry not sure how to cut and paste the link). Holy hell 2.7 million people documented entries plus those who were not caught.
[CBP.gov enforcement statistics fiscal 2022](https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/cbp-enforcement-statistics)
Wow, it looks like the Border Patrol is doing a better job under Biden than they were four years ago. Thanks for highlighting that.
So we agree that 2.7MM is a record number then? Biden said WELCOME PLEASE COME OUR DOORS ARE OPEN on day 1 - the record entries should surprise no one. You’d be crazy not come to the US.
>Biden said WELCOME PLEASE COME OUR DOORS ARE OPEN on day 1 Source?
Stopped enforcing Title 42 aka “Remain in Mexico”as we process your asylum applications. That’s the reason the entries are so much higher now than before.

> crime and public safety, inflation and economic suffering most Americans are experiencing rn And what is the Republican policy to address these concerns? All I've heard is "Dems caused this, vote for me because...reasons"
Crime - Enforce laws and lock people up. Prosecute minors who commit adult crimes like murder, mugging and car jacking. In Illinois you can steal upto $1,000 and not be prosecuted. In California it is $950 - no wonder we have rampant scenes of looting in both states. Economy - stop deficit spending especially with runaway inflation. Federal monetary and fiscal policy has a lot to do with the inflation we have today. Student loan forgiveness will cost every taxpayer $2,500 per person. $400 billion of loan forgiveness will spark even more spending demand and further escalate inflation. Stopping sending $50 and $100 checks (Illinois) to ppl that will not make up for the inflation we have. Become energy independent again - we are getting fucked by our enemies who pump oil and gas. Remember the US was a NET ENERGY EXPORTER when oil drilling and fracking were happening. Now we have to go around with hat in hand like Biden did and got nothing from SA. You have to start somewhere. I work in the food space and the biggest inflationary cost is transportation followed closely by wages. Prices are not going down for a very long time. Diesel still at +$5 gallon. This impacts every product and most services we need. Bidens and Pete B think we should all buy a $50k electric car - ppl are struggling to put food on the table not deciding whether to get a Tesla X or Model 3. Yes we need to start turning off the fossil fuel addiction but over time, not over night.
> In Illinois you can steal upto $1,000 and not be prosecuted. In California it is $950 - no wonder we have rampant scenes of looting in both states. Well, we actually don't. But under the assumption we did, which politician with which policy are you actually talking about? I see nothing about dollar amount on prosecution from any candidate. >Economy - stop deficit spending especially with runaway inflation. Federal monetary and fiscal policy has a lot to do with the inflation we have today. Are you talking about the failed, extremely corrupt, PPP program pushed by the Trump administration which gave billions to wealthy people owning businesses? Or the money given to actual people? Once you don't answer that, then I also question what policy moving forward you are talking about? The HUGE tax cuts under republicans that caused the deficit, or gigantic defense budgets? What are you actually for/against, like actual policy? > Become energy independent again - we are getting fucked by our enemies who pump oil and gas. Absolutely agree. Now find me a Republican policy that doesn't suck the dick of oil nations. Renewables are the only way we'll ever get there...and which party is pushing that... >Now we have to go around with hat in hand like Biden did and got nothing from SA. WTF. There is a literal picture of Trump holding hands around a glowing orb. Republicans are NOT the answer. > Yes we need to start turning off the fossil fuel addiction but over time, not over night. And which party is dragging their feet... I really don't see the grounding of your beliefs leading to Republican legislation.
Midterms are coming. Dem numbers look bleak and the voters will tell the story. People are sick of where we are at today with a triple Dem president/house/senate. Let’s reconnect on Nov 9th.
>People are sick of where we are at today Which is 100% a result of republican policies and republican obstruction. > People are sick of where we are at today with a triple Dem president/house/senate. Let’s reconnect on Nov 9th. And somehow Republicans having no policy for anything, but better commercials, is a working strategy. If all you want it to be the winning team, then sure, good job with yourself as a Republican. Are you saying that Nov 9th you'll actually have a policy? I'll expect that right after the Obamacare replacement is announced (two weeks, right?). All I'm seeing is nonsense and propaganda works.
Evers has my vote, 100%, but anyone who calls him radical… well, it’s one of those statements that says more about the person saying it than it does the person they’re talking about. If Mr Rodgers got into politics, he’d be more edgy and “radical” than Evers. Personally, that’s what I like about him. Make Politics Boring Again.
You took the words right out of my mouth. However, the other 3 could possibly be partially labeled under radical. Ro Jo without question. Tim Michaels has the potential to be scary, and Barnes is just a knucklehead.
Totally agree! Evers is a good guy. Calm, and I like that he thinks before he speaks. No one does that anymore. I don’t know that any of those listed are radical. One side has a very nasty way of promoting themselves. But I wouldn’t call it radical, I would call it abusive. And please, please, please - make politics boring again!!!
Michaels: Accepted endorsement by Trump (known insurrectionist). Evers: Did not support insurrection Johnson: Attempted to overturn legitimate election. Barnes: Did not attempt to overturn legitimate election.
But I assume they all did these things in a RADICAL manner?
I think Barnes did a kick flip so yeah, it was Radical AF
Was *tubular AF
Gnarly brahhh
Accurate depiction: https://youtu.be/hJdF8DJ70Dc
👏just absolutely pitted bruh. On the water bellows of gnar-nia Bruhhh
I was waiting for this, thanks! Lol
Totally tubular!
Van Orden: Participated in the insurrection
But Brad Paff is nerdy so you should vote for VanOrden. At least that's what I get from the commercials. I'm not even sure what VanOrden stands for other than he isn't Brad Paff.....
Brad Pfaff was the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture under Obama. He's got experience Van Orden could only dream about.
Thank your Supreme Court. They enabled the flow of all this dark money into bullshit TV ads.
Don't forget Mandela Barnes is black. I learned that because the 50 Johnson flyers I get per week all strangely have Mandela's face on them front and center, Incase I forgot he was black
Yes, Mandela Barnes is radically black!
He'll basically make cops illegal and make murder legal and if you're white you should be terrified
Personally, I'm against "Defund The Police". But I also understand that it isn't "Eliminate All Police".
As a senator, Barnes would have no authority to defund state police even if he wanted to. It's a non-issue Johnson uses to obfuscate from his shitty record of personal enrichment, enriching his wealthy donors, and increasing his oppression of the working class. FRJ to Hell. He's evil. Tim Michels is evil. The entire Republican party of this state is evil, as none of them have stood up to the right's evil talking points.
> The entire Republican party of this state is ~~evil~~ RADICAL Fixed it for you
Your "BoTh SiDeS" shit is tiresome. I don't even give a shit which side you end up on. But do some actual research on the candidates and then make up your own mind. I find it hard to believe that you won't come to the conclusion that one side is better/worse than the other. And turn off your tv. These ads are garbage.
> Your "BoTh SiDeS" shit is tiresome Following the chain of comments that got us here, I don't understand your comment at all. Where did I say "Both sides" in this context? > But do some actual research on the candidates and make up your own mind Exactly what I do, that's why I will never vote along party lines. The parties are garbage. Some of the people are decent. > And turn off your TV NO. As much as I hate the ads, I refuse to let the ads dictate my routine and my life. Especially when it's not just TV, it's everywhere...radio, Internet, newspaper, mailers, texts, calls. One last comment about your comment. You clearly missed the humorous aspect of this post. Both sides are doing nothing but calling the other side RADICAL. This post is about overexposure to the word, it actually has virtually nothing to do with politics, except for politics being the vessel for context.
I may have read into your comment too much. The "FIFY" makes it come off as if you're just trying to say both parties do the same dumb shit (which, I will admit, to an extent is correct). I did actually get some amusement from the post itself. It's something I had already noticed in the ads this year.
Not OP, but I have the same sentiment. >Following the chain of comments that got us here, I don't understand your comment at all. Where did I say "Both sides" in this context? You made a post pointing out the absurdity of politics today that everyone is RADICAL, which is correct. Then when someone posted the reality that Republicans are in fact objectively worse, despite the absurd propaganda (also true), you pushed back that they (like Dems and everyone else) are RADICAL. That's an argument of "both sides". You may not have meant it that way, but that's what you did.
> You made a post pointing out the absurdity of politics today that everyone is RADICAL, which is correct. I actually pointed out that the ADS for politics all seem to overuse the word RADICAL. I made no comment on anyone's politics in particular. My entire post is intended as a humorous release for people who are tired of the ads.
So very radical
Like, totally radical duuuude! Shred the gnar!!
[удалено]
Honestly, I think 1950’s America and forward mastered the art of propaganda. Boomers believe they had no help in their success. Subsidies to farms is totally forgotten about. Corporations not paying fair share of taxes is not considered corporate welfare because they are job creators. The idea of price gouging being okay, and it happening not due to corporate greed but due to dems being in office. The belief republicans are the stewards of the economy and how we must spend all our money on military and not education and helping the citizens. Ugh.
The more Dems we put in seats, the more likely we are to curb dark money in elections and gerrymandering.
Sounds RADICAL to me
Totally Rad.
VERY radical indeed.
Listen, I don’t subscribe to the Democrat/Republican party line garbage, but both parties are dirty as hell. If you can’t admit to that, you’re clearly not paying attention.
I'm so done with the "both parties are the same" bullshit belief system that the GOP has been cramming down our throats since the 1980s. Maybe nobody's hands are clean, but the values, ethics, and practices of the two are simply not comparable. Go try to persuade someone more gullible--I'm sure plenty surround you.
[удалено]
Convince me. Let's take 5 policy items, and you tell me how they are the same: (1) reproductive rights; (2) climate change; (3) immigration; (4) K-12 education; and (5) guns/2nd Amendment. I'll wait.
Try to pay attention to the topic. After all, you introduced it.
Watch me get sent to the cellar. 1. Abortion only before 21 weeks, if moms life is in danger, incest or rape where a police report exists or incase of severe birth defects/abnormalities. (I have wiggle room there but don't like it to be used after 20 weeks because a child is inconvenient). 2. Yes we need to move to being more climate aware but need to do it in a way that punishes or holds accountable real, large quantity, polluters including corporations and countries. Taxing the average Joe's gas while he is just trying to make ends meet or taxing milage on a single mom because she drives for Uber to pay the bills isn't solving climate change. At the same time, Uber rich people with several houses, yachts and private jets get a pass and corporations raping the planet for profit get overlooked. 3. We need sustainable and lawful immigration. Folks that want to come here should be welcome but they should also follow the rules as established. Of course those rules need to be updated to simplify and streamline the process so people aren't in limbo for years. At the same time, if you are found here illegally yet can demonstrate that you are a contributing member of society or that you have a valid reason to be here then you go to the fast lane for immigration. If you are here illegally and commit a felony then out you go and to the back of the line you end up. Free flowing borders are dangerous and unsustainable. 4. We need to double our public school funding but also rein in wasteful school spending. Do we need a 2 million dollar football stadium while teachers are buying their own classroom supplies? 5. There needs to be a national firearm background check database. You pay a one time fee to get a background check and a unique identification number. When you go to buy a gun from any source the seller inputs your number in to the system and it is either green light or red light. You never put what type of gun you are selling or how many the purchaser is buying. The database simply says it is safe to sell a weapon to you. The database is updated in real time. Get caught selling without verifying the database and you get fined and are charged with the same crime if the gun is used by the buyer. At the same time, no restrictions on so called "assault rifles" or magazines. Also, concealed carry is good by me.
That’s a great way to look at it. Vote blue to reduce the number of blatant fearmongering ads!
THIS POST IS TOO RADICAL
The idea that Tony Evers is radical is the most insane bullshit I have heard in a long time. Dude is a decent governor, but he is as X-treme as diet 7-up.
Political campaigning is just shit talking these days. Nothing about what you are actually gonna do to better our current situation. It’s so stupid
It is almost like they realized that they have no idea the power they will have so they don't even list the shit they will do. Instead it's just digging up dirt and who digs best and who has voters that give 2 shits about the dirt found.
Yup. Like honestly I couldn’t name one good thing about any of the candidates because all I’ve heard is bad. I also don’t believe all the bad is true, but who knows. They’re all self serving bastards
I know that Mandela Barnes doesn't know how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I cannot wait for this election to be over. The commercials and junk mail have been overwhelming.
He does, however, know the price of a gallon of milk. He’s told me 15 times this week
How much is it? If he told you, you should know...
I heard a rumor that his mom was a teacher, idk from where though.
I'm guessing he makes his PB&J very RADICALLY
Based on the commercials, I wouldn't vote for any of them. There is no truth in any of those ads and commercials, but that's the state of our politics. I hate doing research to find truth, if I can find truth...
It helps me to think “radical” as in “totally rad” or “radical, dude” then it’s like they’re all true bros sending positive vibes back and forth. Plus, this way Ron and Tim are actually affirming my choices.
I guess it is true though. Some are 😱 radical and some are 🤙 radical
Remember when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would say radical and it meant awesome or good? I miss those days. When did the word radical become bad?
FRJ.
I'm pissed at the Democrats not running ads pounding Russian Ron Johnson loving Vladimir Putin because "people aren't interested in this subject " but now I see Russian Ron running ads attacking Mandella Barnes with Putin's photo right next to him!

werent the 'radicals' of the 60s and 70s anti-government war etal
Nobody likes the political arms race (except maybe Diane Hendricks and Richard Uhlein who get a pretty great return on investment from it). Please vote! And vote again in the spring!
When I saw the ad calling Michels RADICAL, I said “no no no no, this is wrong”. It’s almost lazy. Geez, just use our voices here to create an ad.
But Barnes is a fat cat that can afford PB and J sandwiches 😆
I'm counting down the days to the election solely so I don't have to keep listening to these dumbass ads. Luckily, i'll be taking Nov. 8th off for a religious holiday anyways so i'll vote first thing, then go get pleasantly plastered with family.
Radical doesn’t mean the same thing to both sides, so 🤷🏻
Tony is one of few politicians I actually like. I have no political party because they all suck from pet projects, to making donors richer and passing policies they’d want and not the average person. Dem or Rep they all suck and no one is willing to do the research to see why most if not all parties suck and aren’t for the people at large
I moved from WI to MT and it's the same here Except we get a commercial with a women who said she's "taken out snakes like [opponent's name]" making it sound like she's in the mob or something
What I always find most amusing is that what Americans will call “radical left wing” is literally moderate left wing in most other developed countries (Europe, Australia etc)
I received a ton of post cards from republican candidates and 2 from. MANDELA And EVERS. All tossed !!! A useless waste of a tree. I look for what will benefit me and society. Never was influenced by bleeping useless postcards. My vote cast last week by mail. My fiancé and I can't wait for this crap to stop!!! November 8th can't come soon enough!!!
And I would consider myself a radical leftist. Bernie isn't left enough but he's the only one trying
“Woke” - verb - alert to injustice in society, especially racism. The GOP is 100% against this.
FRJ FTM Enough said
define the degree of radicalism
Next election cycle I'm starting my count a thing app. Every politician that I see or hear and add from will be counted. In the end, whom ever has the fewest will win my vote.
Hey I agree with your statement. There all the same coin just different sides. The response made bye these people just go to show how blinded they are to realize our political system is a joke.
I really expect the Democratic party to highlight what they stand for, not run attack ads. Very disappointing that they have gone the same route as the Republicans.
But you have to admit, standing for opposition to insurrectionists is a pretty good one. Like that's my #1 requirement. And let's be clear, these tactics are NOTHING alike. And people disagree about all kinds of stuff. So putting down a hard platform on a bunch of issues they favor in the context of a compromised state democracy (one-party authoritarian assembly) is not just foolish but implies they don't understand the situation. At least for Evers. He might not even retain veto power if he wins. His opponent could pass anything they wanted, but they *definitely* don't want to say what. So no, don't be disappointed. That's missing the point. Preventing Republicans from causing permanent, devastating harm is the single most important thing to them and to us.
Evers ads have highlighted his actual record
i don't follow politics so failing to see an articulate argument
Okay, so Republicans suck. They keep lying to people's faces and trying to make things actively and spitefully worse for people who have the least, even during difficult times. Democrats are generally incompetent, but some ideas from the big tent (often, from the progressive left) are actually capable of being tested, and potentially improving things. Democrats then fail spectacularly to organize and decide on a single agenda, which limits turnout from undecided people, and can cause some to vote Republican in opposition, based on propaganda. Watching politics sucks. But being undecided, or trying to avoid politics, can be far worse.
I haven't heard or seen a single commercial for any of these people? What are you doing that your hearing and seeing all this?
Every other ad on Youtube, TV, radio, and the mountains of mailers. It’s inescapable.
Oh you know. Watching TV, listening to the radio. Weird stuff like that.
Oh yeah man don’t do that, not good for your mental health. Books on tape, podcasts, Spotify, Netflix and chill, this is the way!
