It's because they falsely equate being correct with being smart and then compound their error by equating being wrong with being stupid. Combine that with their deep intellectual insecurities, and you end up with a leftist.
It's more simple than that: It's the lack of wisdom.
Without wisdom, you lack self-reflection. Without self-reflection, you blame others instead of yourself. Without wisdom, you fail to assess real world information and tend to cling on theory and fantasy.
Retards sometimes get stuff right by accident, because as they say, even a broken clock is right twice a day. With the Left though, it seems like their mission in life is to be as wrong as possible on every given issue. The best way to describe the individual Leftist is compare them to a pathogen. It doesn't know what it's doing, but it behaves in a consistent pattern that systematically destroys its host.
The bashing of mentally disabled people here really breaks my heart. I have a son with Down Syndrome that is right about many things, and not by accident. He's a patriot, and he'd be your best friend if you'd allow it. Outside of being mean spirited, it's is an intellectually weak way of trying to get your point across.
That said, what you're describing is mentioned repeatedly in the Bible. One example is Isaiah 5:20-21:
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!
I think in this current age the word "retard" no longer refers to someone who is mentally disabled.
I have never once in my life referred to someone who was mentally disabled as a "retard" but I think I call intentionally stupid people (like democrats) retards on an hourly basis. I think this is the general usage that is being employed in the comments here.
Your son is not retarded, he has Down's Syndrome. He is compassionate and passionate about things and people he loves and is ten time times smarter than any liberal, tell him to Maga on...
Don’t we have an obligation to help the poor pedes / children who are stuck there though? As Americans?
I’m not trying to be a sarcastic dick, isn’t that what Trump would want us to do? Even if we don’t get credit and they’re all assholes?
Is it worth helping them if they try to murder us? I don’t know. I genuinely don’t. It’s depressing that the progressives have put innocent Americans in these positions
Don’t know what to believe from McKlosky. He immediately went on TV saying he supports BLM. I think he’s an opportunistic liar. He is a lawyer after all
Meet your new mayor, Seattle. Kshama Sawant. This was probably the easiest petition to gather signatures for. The lefties are so far gone they consider Durkan fascist.
Likely whomever the city council president to step in as "acting" prior to the special election they'll win. Then its on to the great defund-o-rama they've been promising their constituents.
See reruns of Dark Angel for reference as to what's in store for Sea Town.
There are a lot good folks in the state, but Seattle has the numbers to control it. IF Biden wins, the Union will break apart, E WA will be Red (hopefully, the number of Libtards there is going up too)
In her ruling Friday, Judge Mary E. Roberts dismissed six of the seven charges put forward as “insufficient,” but allowed one - which accuses Durkan of allowing tear gas and other crowd control weapons to be used during the coronavirus pandemic - to proceed “more narrowly than alleged.”
But a lefty cause doesn't necessarily mean a lefty outcome.
" “endanger(ing) the peace and safety of the community” by allowing police to “leak false information about fabricated crimes and threats to the media” and issuing a citywide curfew without sufficient notice to the public. The petitioners also accused Durkan of restricting certain property rights in downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill, the neighborhood where many of the protests took place."
The one that stuck is:
"In her ruling Friday, Judge Mary E. Roberts dismissed six of the seven charges put forward as “insufficient,” but allowed one - which accuses Durkan of allowing tear gas and other crowd control weapons to be used during the coronavirus pandemic"
This reads like the Left recalling her to put someone MORE LEFT in her place
First we have to get a petition, then an election, then a proper candidate, then another election before anything can change. I don't know of a proper candidate. I don't see it panning out.
Probably to be replaced by the Socialist Alternative Party councilwoman that was among the communist revolutionaries in the streets. This is Seattle folks.
The problem is these idiots fuck up cities then they leave those cities and move to other republican states then try to push their liberal agenda there as well. Already happening in Texas.
If I lived or owned a business in “CHAZ” (which I would not), I would be absolutely livid at the destruction of my livelihood and the abject lack of concern from this bitch calling it the summer of love. I wish Trump would’ve just said fuck it, and rolled tanks through. How can anyone, much less elected by residents have so much disdain for their own city, Idc black, white, brown, whatever, NOBODY wants to live and work in a Slum. I seriously wish her home would’ve gotten looted and even if it did, this idiot would still be on her knees begging for forgiveness of her “privilege” and praising the commie terrorists known as BLM.
Cause they never pay, I mean, not being a ‘bigot’ but they never pay, that’s just the truth. There’s one man standing between all this, we have to vote.
The idiot democrat judge in Seattle dismissed all the charges against the mayor that were actually legitimate, and only allowed the recall to proceed because she allowed police to use tear gas and pepper spray to control rioters. The recall is because she was insufficiently insanely left, not because of all the rioting, property damage, CHAZ, murders, etc. Nope, those were all just fine according to the moonbat judge.
I've heard from Seattle natives that she is actually considered moderate. And her removal will usher in even more farther left policies. That is why one city council member who was is openly socialist was against the mayor.
First you have to further define your scope. First is the judge State or Federal?
The procedures are slightly different for each, but they are mostly similar.
Also this isn't something that hasn't happened since the 1800s. This is a real power that exists in Article III of the Constitution.
Since the beginning of the Republic, 66 judges (federal, including SCOTUS) have been impeached and removed. I didn't look up states' judges, but in my recollection I heard of several judges being impeached and removed during the past few decades in my own state.
It's a tough hurdle to overcome though. For example, most laypeople assume that Judge Emmet Sullivan meets the prima facie definition for malfeasance which could support a Congressional impeachment trial. I regret to inform that I don't believe that he has met that standard. However, the additional process that Judge Sullivan has put this country and the judiciary through will now be an excellent litmus test question for all further congressional nomination hearings for federal judges.
Sounds like lefties are going after her for tearing down chaz. Well good. Let them destroy their halls of power. The dems need to fracture into a thousand parties.
I'm here, it didn't. Tom Douglas owned several restaurants in Seattle that had to shut down and even on Capitol hill. Asshole was sending sandwiches to No Cop Co-Op Durkin is ordered the shit 'art' to be saved for a 'memorial' City council just passed huge business tax and defunding police. At least police chief Carmen Best spoke up and said defunding was fucked but nobody is listening. I'm just glad I moved south and only have to commute up a few times a week for work. Planning my permanent exit. Seattle is going full socialist shithole
The previous elected mayor was ed murray... go ahead and look that guy up. He used to fuck homeless under age children in exchange for crack. Yeah, i don't have a lot of hope for who seattle chooses next.
All the recall petitions for governors in several states came out today for some reason. Is there something special about the day or is there something going on behind the scenes?
If the wheels are turning in Seattle, then they're turning toward the cliff instead of away from it. Hate to say it, but anyone with any sense fled Seattle a long time ago. It's going to look a lot like Detroit real soon, but I guess the abandoned houses will be harder to burn down.
I know you all think that the majority of Seattle is communist but they are not. Liberal? Yes. Progressive? No. The liberals will eat up the progressives not the other way around. Alot of liberals are tired of their shit.
I'm here and I'm not seeing it. Durkin was saving the damn 'art' from Chop??!! Carmen Best is the only one that has come out saying that defunding the police will be a disaster. Tom Douglas was sending sandwiches to the no cop co-op. Molly Moon ice cream with multiple venues just banned police from their stores, zero push back. All drugs are decriminalized and you can walk out of any grocery with product and zero consequence. Seattle liberal is not 'liberal' it's socialist
Um.... is she not the only member of the city council that isn’t for defunding police? I know she cowtowed to BlM and antifa but she has been anti defund police.
Let’s say she gets recalled. Who do the Seattle idiots replace her with? An actual socialist? Because that’s what sits on their city council. Literally, there are self identifying socialists that run that city. I’d be VERY wary if I were a Seattle resident.
The idiots there will find 20 pounds of shit to replace this 10 pounds of shit.
No matter how many problems are caused by progressives, the conclusion is always "it's because we weren't progressive enough."
Ever? You know, sounds like my ex wife. It's all making sense.
The left is America's psycho, sadistic, BPD girlfriend
Hence the saying "don't stick your dick in crazy."
No brakes!!
Updooted!
It's because they falsely equate being correct with being smart and then compound their error by equating being wrong with being stupid. Combine that with their deep intellectual insecurities, and you end up with a leftist.
don't forget penis envy
Nah, just wants the agency and none of the responsibility
That equation needs to be simplified man. I'm sure it is correct, but a simplified equation is a good equation.
Correct iff Smart
It's more simple than that: It's the lack of wisdom.
Without wisdom, you lack self-reflection. Without self-reflection, you blame others instead of yourself. Without wisdom, you fail to assess real world information and tend to cling on theory and fantasy.
ever
They're never responsible for their failure, either.
Retards sometimes get stuff right by accident, because as they say, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

It doesn't know what it's doing, but it behaves in a consistent pattern that systematically destroys its host.
We need a mask that will protect us from the leftist pathogen.
Church, work, and a stable nuclear family.
We can get the last by repealing no fault divorce.

Aka Libtards
Read that as liberal retards, same difference
Everybody knows you don’t ever go full progressive.
Don’t we have an obligation to help the poor pedes / children who are stuck there though? As Americans?
I’m not trying to be a sarcastic dick, isn’t that what Trump would want us to do? Even if we don’t get credit and they’re all assholes?
Is it worth helping them if they try to murder us? I don’t know. I genuinely don’t. It’s depressing that the progressives have put innocent Americans in these positions
That is why it is a cult. There is nothing you can say to them to prove them wrong, because they will always fall back on their "faith"
They donated to Trump for the 2016 election.
Not all lawyers are assholes.
You got fake news'd. McCloskey says about 2 minutes into this video he is a lifelong republican.
Don’t know what to believe from McKlosky. He immediately went on TV saying he supports BLM. I think he’s an opportunistic liar. He is a lawyer after all
Wow! That almost needs it's own post.
He says it at around 2:10.
This
You got fake news'd. McCloskey says about 2 minutes into this video he is a lifelong republican.
Burning down everything that has worked in the past and trying something that hasn't worked before is really what progressives are all about.
Mail in ballot fraud. Its high, but not that high.
Came here to say this.
u/Justjayce has a way with words.
Idiot Sawant
LOL 👍
Shawarma Sawant needs to go
Meet your new mayor, Seattle. Kshama Sawant. This was probably the easiest petition to gather signatures for. The lefties are so far gone they consider Durkan fascist.
Meet the new boss, a fucking commie like the old boss...
Likely whomever the city council president to step in as "acting" prior to the special election they'll win. Then its on to the great defund-o-rama they've been promising their constituents.

KEK!
Hey guys, I found Chris Elliot’s account.
Crap it's driving me nuts! Late Night? Cabin Boy...?
The problem is these commie socialist want to infect the entire country and would leave to plant themselves and grow another commie center.
it's been ages since I thought about Dark Angel!! I really enjoyed that show. I should look it up again.
Step 1: Fire her. Step 2: Put her on trial.
Step 4: Elect a mayor that is somehow even worse.
You should see who her predecessor was. Creep doesn't even begin to describe it.
Didn't he get homosexually #metoo'ed by multiple underaged-at-the-time boys?
Edit: yup.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Murray_(Washington_politician)
sigh... this is what will happen
She didn't back the protesters enough!
Step 3: replace her with someone who’s somehow worse
Welcome to Seattle.
Step 3: fire her. Salem style.
Yes, you are correct
But a lefty cause doesn't necessarily mean a lefty outcome.
Yes, she's being recalled because she isn't completely insane. That isn't allowed in Seattle.
Exactly. Thank you. Someone actually read the article.
Same here. Try this.
https://archive.is/z1aEW
yes
meet the new boss
worse than the old boss
Have any of you actually read it?
The accusations are:
" “endanger(ing) the peace and safety of the community” by allowing police to “leak false information about fabricated crimes and threats to the media” and issuing a citywide curfew without sufficient notice to the public. The petitioners also accused Durkan of restricting certain property rights in downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill, the neighborhood where many of the protests took place."

This reads like the Left recalling her to put someone MORE LEFT in her place
That's how I took it. They likely want someone in that will disband the police or arrest all white people.
Interpreted?
They want to replace the white woman with a black woman.

yeah except they aren't doing that...
It will not go anywhere btw. Needs like 25% of the amount of voters to agree.

Help save California too!
First we have to get a petition, then an election, then a proper candidate, then another election before anything can change. I don't know of a proper candidate. I don't see it panning out.
But then again, the governator got in somehow.
We already have the petition. It's just not getting a lot of coverage.
https://recallgavin2020.com/petition/
Probably to be replaced by the Socialist Alternative Party councilwoman that was among the communist revolutionaries in the streets. This is Seattle folks.
To be fair, anyone left in the city of Seattle deserves to be regulated and taxed to death for their own stupidity.
Yeah. Only problem is they want to replace her because she wasn’t BATSHIT LIBERAL ENOUGH! Careful what you wish for.
This was Trump's smartest move. If they want Democrats, let them have them. They can't complain they're getting what they want.
Be careful what you wish for, lest your wish be granted.
The problem is these idiots fuck up cities then they leave those cities and move to other republican states then try to push their liberal agenda there as well. Already happening in Texas.

How is this not an inevitable class action suit vs the city for enabling destruction of property & murder?
When LibTIFA plays, the Democrats must pay
Cause they never pay, I mean, not being a ‘bigot’ but they never pay, that’s just the truth. There’s one man standing between all this, we have to vote.
Also, LibTIFA, I do appreciate that!
I’ll accept that edit! Over the long term, they may in fact “pay” when everyone with a brain & a heartbeat leaves for another location.
... but I guess abandonment isn’t really paying, eh?
B-b-but muh Summer of Love.
it's always a Summer of Love until the shootings and beatings and rapes start

You need to take out the city council
Whatever they do, it will be wrong and improve nothing.
Motion blocked by a HI judge in 5.....4.....3....
They are going to trade in their level 9 Marxist mayor for a level 10 Marxist.
I've heard from Seattle natives that she is actually considered moderate. And her removal will usher in even more farther left policies. That is why one city council member who was is openly socialist was against the mayor.
Seattle needs to burn so that a phoenix may rise.
They need to get rid of the governor.
Infuriating seeing the 'news' call this trash fire 'protests'.
Why does a judge get to decide if we petition to remove a politician?
We need to take power away from the Judicial Branch. They are turning into a corrupt ruling class.
First you have to further define your scope. First is the judge State or Federal?
The procedures are slightly different for each, but they are mostly similar.
Also this isn't something that hasn't happened since the 1800s. This is a real power that exists in Article III of the Constitution.

save the cheesecake. Kim Jong Whichever One is a tubby little asshole, he doesn't need the carbs. and it's not like he's going to share.
Sounds like lefties are going after her for tearing down chaz. Well good. Let them destroy their halls of power. The dems need to fracture into a thousand parties.
The first petition was denied because they put the mayor's name as Durka Durkan
100% agree
We can only hope CHOP red pilled these morons
I'm here, it didn't. Tom Douglas owned several restaurants in Seattle that had to shut down and even on Capitol hill. Asshole was sending sandwiches to No Cop Co-Op Durkin is ordered the shit 'art' to be saved for a 'memorial' City council just passed huge business tax and defunding police.

God Speed
She was better than Murray and and she's better than Sawant.
Murray was a pedo and they only got rid of him after multiple credible victims came forward including a relative!
Good, and once she's removed charge her with treason
I'm not sure why this is being celebrated. Seattle voters are the reason she's mayor in the first place—a majority of them continue to approve of her.
They are pursuing a recall because she wasn't liberal enough... While it's funny, it's not good news for the city. They have become truly lost.
Only 1 way I would like to see her removed
All the recall petitions for governors in several states came out today for some reason. Is there something special about the day or is there something going on behind the scenes?
If the wheels are turning in Seattle, then they're turning toward the cliff instead of away from it. Hate to say it, but anyone with any sense fled Seattle a long time ago. It's going to look a lot like Detroit real soon, but I guess the abandoned houses will be harder to burn down.
She's got the dubious honor of having managed to piss off everyone. She's finished.
I know you all think that the majority of Seattle is communist but they are not. Liberal? Yes. Progressive? No. The liberals will eat up the progressives not the other way around. Alot of liberals are tired of their shit.

They're trying to recall her because she isn't communist enough to suit them.
Um.... is she not the only member of the city council that isn’t for defunding police? I know she cowtowed to BlM and antifa but she has been anti defund police.
What wheels? Did anyone actually read this? It’s for allowing the use of tear gas. Zero will happen. Pointless sticky.
Let’s say she gets recalled. Who do the Seattle idiots replace her with? An actual socialist? Because that’s what sits on their city council. Literally, there are self identifying socialists that run that city. I’d be VERY wary if I were a Seattle resident.
Watch them replace her with someone worse
Leftist cannibalism. They always eat their own.
Has this ever worked?
Don't be so afraid of democracy Durkan.
You have to make sure if this judge is Soro's.
