(24,461 posts)The Democratic Party needs our votes.
Lumping us in with the Alt-Right (something the right wing media is currently doing) isn't the greatest way of getting them.

(89 posts)It's Modine, not Miller, but there is the misleading caption of " Matthew Modine" at the start of the video
What, exactly, do the links prove?

(89 posts)other than Modine is a wingnut?
Are you really trying to suggest that an ACTOR who is a wingnut couldn't possibly ACT in a comedy sketch that satirizes liberals?
progressoid
(49,991 posts)I posted a link where Modine literally says he's a Card Carrying Liberal and you think he's a right wing nut?
MODINE: "And that word is very special to me and very important to our nation, that our country was founded on liberal ideas. And that's why I made this card, the Card Carrying Liberal because I wanted to restore the meaning... I believe in public education and public health. And I think that people that don't have the opportunity to have a good education, good health care deserve for me to help them, to give them a hand up.
In the other link he praises Carter, Clinton and Gore and you think he's a right wing nut?
I posted a video he made about inclusiveness and multiculturalism and you think he's a right wing nut?
Here's what he thinks about Donald Trump:

(89 posts)I asked what they showed, and you responded with more links.
I will ask more directly, since you seem to have trouble comprehending the original issue: what is the point of your links with regard to whether or not Matthew Modine is in that sketch?
progressoid
(49,991 posts)Perhaps you should re-read the thread. Hughbeaumont said there were "three card-carrying wingnuts" in the sketch. I responded that I saw Victoria Jackson (bat-shit-crazy-right-wing-nut) and Dennis Miller (also right wing nut, just not as bat-shit-crazy). But I wondered who the third right winger was.
The original issue was, which cast member was the third right winger. I was not asking whether or not Modine was in the sketch. Does that clear it up?
Have a nice evening.

Just because the Democratic Party is embedded with them, does not mean that we should accept that this is the new position of the Democratic Party. If we do, then the party will remain weak for decades to come. We need to realign with our core values and positions, instead of allowing RW billionaires to inject their beliefs into our system as we sit back and accept and legitimize them.
