What do you call a person who complains he should have won the powerball but didn't buy a ticket???

[CK_John]

A progressive.

[MohRokTah]

1. .

Thanks for fully outting yourself, though.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. What the hell does that mean?

[djean111]

4. I suspect he does not particularly care for Progressives.

Or he thinks of Hillary as a lottery ticket.
Or something. Eh.

[Drahthaardogs]

9. I think he is saying Democrats fail to nominate real progressives for office, and instead opt for

moderate candidates. In some ways, he is right. Neither Obama nor Clinton were exactly FDR or friends of labor.

[mcar]

15. Huh?

That makes no sense.

[Xipe Totec]

3. An Explanation is Warranted. nt

[Electric Monk]

8. Doing the (s)troll...

[Renew Deal]

5. I don't know how you've lasted this long

[MohRokTah]

6. Agreed. eom

[hay rick]

7. Freepers rolling in the aisles...

Thanks

[MohRokTah]

11. Let stand by a jury, 3-4.

[hay rick]

14. LOL.

Your post (no. 1) was left standing by a jury, 1-6. That's how I got here. Alerting on the responses may be the entire point of this post.

[MohRokTah]

17. Not surprised there was one nazi in a DU jury of 7. eom

[trumad]

10. drunk dialing?

[CK_John]

12. No.

[MohRokTah]

16. Could have fooled me. eom

[CK_John]

18. That would not be hard.

[MohRokTah]

19. Then where the fuck is the explanation?

Oh, yeah.

Missing.

[winter is coming]

13. Someone who realizes the Koch brothers have already bought all the tickets?? n/t

[jwirr]

20. Delusional. I know because I used to wish I could win but never buy a ticket.

[Spirochete]

21. Well, you certainly

have no such worries...

[TeamPooka]

22. I love the ignore feature on this website.

ignored and thread trashed

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. The Performance Art of CK_John, everybody. The 10 o'clock show is always the same as the 8 o'clock

show...

[Jamaal510]

24. Strange OP. eom

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. They always are.

[11 Bravo]

26. Hmmm, somewhat vague, decidedly oblique, and kind of ridiculous.

Nice post.

[Agnosticsherbet]

27. Actually, this is what Conservatives say about Socialists.

Modern Progressivism has more links to socialism than modern liberalism, but that is no reason to use stupid Republican Talking points on them.

In any case, most Republicans would not know a socialist if one Marx bit them on the ass.

I have had issues with progressives on some things, but calling them socialists is as stupid and inaccurate of calling liberals socialists. What is worse, is actually thinking that calling a liberal or a progressive a socialist is an insult.

28. What's it like to be a rocket scientist?

[edhopper]

29. What do you call someone who post something on a forum

that can be seen as idiotic or insulting, and then offers no explanation?

[wyldwolf]

30. someone who wants something to happen but won't do what's required to get it?

[FSogol]

32. A waffle-maker? I ridicule CKJohn as much as anyone, but he is making an insulting, but valid point

Wanting to win the powerball but not buying a ticket is the same as advocating for change but refusing to vote in an election. Recent midterm losses with poor Democratic turnout prove his point. Blaming it on progressives might be insulting, but which group here is already telling us which Democratic nominees they will and won't vote for even before anyone has announced or hit the campaign trail?

[Autumn]

31. I have never known a Progressive to not vote.

[FSogol]

33. An yet self-proclaimed ones on this site tell us they won't vote. Remember the

waffle making thread from the last election? That DUer bragged about not voting for the Democratic candidate.

[Autumn]

35. Don't remember a waffle thread. I doubt any progressive would stay home and not vote.

They may skip voting for a single person in a primary or a single person on a ticket but they will vote.

[wyldwolf]

34. but they threaten not to. Should we not take them at their word?
