Seeing that the Democrats prefer their voter base to be citizens of other countries, i am unclear on what you are asking here. Because a citizen of Russia who enters this country illegally is, according to liberals and the DNC, a registered Democrat, correct?

No worries, subs. I’m pitching the question to heavier thinkers, like ajax.

not sure 'pitching' is the correct term for what you are doing....try fluffing.

Yes, move to Russia, comrade.

Russia is not a socilialist country anymore. Their future continues to look brighter.

It's a dictatorship where citizens lack basic human rights. If you think that's better than Norway, and you probably do, that's quite telling.

If you’re looking for some fluffing, then I guess you’ll have to look elsewhere. Maybe try the local ‘discreet’ personals?

Regardless, no need to bemoan your inability to rise to the occasion here, either.

That's a tough one. I'd probably rather become a citizen of Russia.

LOL. No you wouldn't. Party politics makes people say stupid things. Do you know you can register as a Democrat but still vote for whoever you want? Your hatred and fear of Democrats (fellow American citizens) is causing you to act stupid.

Probably to some extent,yes, but Russia has also made itself into the international leader in spreading a white supremacist focused quasi-fascism, and Ajax loves that. He has more ideological reason to like Russia than those two idiots in shirts probably do.

The real kicker here is that what the implications of why Ajax thinks socialism is bad must be if he's willing to embrace autocratic rule where things like freedom of press do not exist. He's not afraid of the road to serfdom. He wants that. His concerns lie elsewhere.

I had no issues when I was there. I'd be much more frightened in Venezuela or North Korea.
