    In numbers they couldn't even fill Lynah Rink. And yet some are constantly whinging about them either because they are deploying a cynical rhetorical tactic or they genuinely believe in this strawman.
    Its more than you think...and the reason we whine is because those types are what a lot of people/voters believe the Left is truly about. They are the default face of it because they are the loudest. They say the dumbest things, they do even dumber things and they suck the air out of the entire Left agenda by doing it. Part of that is because we don't shut them up like we should. Thankfully, in some places, that seems to be changing lets just hope it isn't too late...

    Sometimes you seem to forget that most voters aren't as engaged or informed as we are so the things that grab attention are the things that they remember when going to the ballot box.

    (to be fair I live in a very Blue area I see a lot of these people and they have positions of power in my State)

      Isn't it starting to seem like Putin is now flat out daring the West to do this so he can have his war? Like he read the tea leaves and realized Ukraine won't be enough of a win after all of this and now he needs the whole megillah? I mean he isn't even trying to hide his atrocities...

        Was thinking the same thing.

          Well, a couple things.

          1. This is every war. You don't think we struck maternity hospitals in Baghdad?

          2. I do not think Putin wants war with NATO because that ends in one of three ways: the complete exposure of the Russian military as a fraud, nuclear annihilation of humanity, or a palace coup and Russia offers Putin to the Hague in exchange for peace. What we are seeing in Ukraine is nuclear blackmail, not strategic provocation. It's the most dangerous bluff in history, but we cannot call it because he knows once we call it he cannot win.

              Ukrainian teens are posting tik toks and other short videos of them going about their lives while stuck inside or in shelters, and all their modest efforts to keep having fun and doing normal things, while mocking the Russian army and Putin and saying they will never crush their spirit. The tag they are posting under is "Life During Wartime."

              So much for "today's kids are soft and fragile." Human beings -- the very worst and very best, playing out in front of us.

                I see. So it's okay if you just indiscriminately bomb a city, rather than target a hospital?

                I'll keep that in mind next time I lose a loved one that way.

                The aggressor in a war is a monster. Full stop.

                  Basically, these are the sort of airheaded nutrolls who think people join the military because they have bloodlust and just want to kill other people. That's an actual quote from a dipsh*t friend of my fiance, and she made sure to let this friend know how wrong and stupid that thought was. BTW, this same dipsh*t friend has an assault charge on her record because she shoved some counter-protester at an event who got in her face and goaded her, getting the exact result they wanted to feed the "violent left" narrative.

                      So they have ceased operating since the invasion began?

                      I find that interesting since I figured the base of operations for them would be well inside of Russia, likely in a major city. Russia still has power, so I don't really get why pulling the plug on them lends any hand to the actual invasion of Ukraine.

                        It's way less. It's pretty frigging hilarious.

                        Test it...go on Twitter at like midnight and see what is trending. Before the war it was a lot of anti Biden stuff and so on. Now not so much.

                            reddit definitely has a lower bot presence, for Russia and most glaringly for conservatives.

                            I swear 90% of "conservative" traffic on social media is Russian bots trying to cripple the US.

                            The terrible grammar makes sense now.

                              The only way Putin saves his azz out of this whole thing is if this becomes a Russia vs. NATO conflict. NATO steps in, and he's got all of Russia having his back against western aggression.

                              Anything less, and he may take Ukraine, and it may be his little vassal state for a while. But he and Russia are toast in the long run.

                                Meanwhile, Russian teens, and 20's, who have had relative prosperity and easy living their entire lives, are getting a taste of what life was like for their parents and grandparents in the old USSR and in the 90's, post USSR dissolution.

                                No cable tv, no internet, no Mickey D's and Coca Cola, no nothing but food and money shortages, and a life of bleak despair.

                                It ain't gonna go over too well with them.
