FIFY. 

I think he forgot which side made "emotional support animals" into a thing after their side lost the election.

Not only are leftoids unhappy, but they're also uncontrollably angry.

Interesting thoughts from Mark Perry back in 2019

https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/why-are-the-progressive-left-so-angry-and-so-ungrateful/

From the article:

• You would think that anyone alive today, and having the privilege of living in the United States, would be filled with amazement and gratefulness. And many are.

  But not the progressive left. Over there, they somehow find an endless supply of smaller and smaller and less and less significant grievances to be furious about. The more privileged they are, the angrier they are. Take the student body of an Ivy League university. That’s about as privileged a group as you can find anywhere in the world. And yet those people are furious beyond belief.

Bingo!

They define their status within their cult by their ability to virtue signal, whine and accuse, that's it.

The flimsiness of an accusation doesn't even matter to them, their sole criteria for meeting the burden of proof is "Do I dislike the accused?", and at that point there's a huge prog-race to see who can be the most outraged by it. 

Eg, whether or not the "perp" in this story is likely guilty has nothing at all to do with evidence or logic, it's all about the accused:

• I was out walking in 4” heels in late fall or early winter of 1995/96 when I met a famous guy as we were going into a dept store. We talked for a few seconds and then he asked me to model lingerie for him, and I agreed. He picked something out and we went into the change room together, and as soon as the door was shut he pushed me against the wall and started kissing me. I pushed him away and giggled. Then he pushed me against the wall again and grabbed my **** and I giggled some more. After that he stuck his penis inside me, so I pushed him away and ran out. No one heard it or saw anything, and I never reported it to the police. I was raped by _________.

There are 137 words in that story and none of them matter at all when weighing its merits: all that matters is the name on the bottom line. If progs like the accused then the story is farcical and the accuser can legally be called a "narcissistic loony toon", if they hate him then the story constitutes incontrovertible evidence of guilt, the accuser has protected status, and it's the duty of all progs to show their devotion to the cult with displays of outrage.

This has never been truer: 

The left cultivates unhappiness by cultivating anger. It does this for the same reason wine growers cultivate grapes: no grapes, no wine. No anger, no left (and no Democratic democrat Party). And angry people are not happy people.

Very true. The left wants to motivate actions in others and two of the best tools for that are fear and anger.  "Stop trump, or your democracy will be destroyed and your children will be slaughtered!!! "  

So when that's your stock and trade, you have to keep your people angry and afraid. Of course they're unhappy.

Believe it or not.. if everyone was happy, this forum does not exist. There would be no political debates and probably no politics. Unhappiness is not the sole monopoly of leftists... We have quite a few posters on here who come here every day (365 days per year) to vent and express their unhappiness. Conservatives are quite unhappy as well.. this motivates their choice of ideology and everything that comes as a result of this.

Yes. It's so obvious that they're angry that it's almost pointless to bring it up.... almost.

It's fine to bring it up with them. But,.. y'know.... from a safe distance and all.

But that's not the point, partial; it's WHY people are unhappy. 

See, normal Americans, like myself, are sometimes unhappy for healthy reasons. Leftoids, like every registered democrat in this forum, are unhappy because they get stonewalled while trying to reprogram other Americans.

So you admit that you are unhappy. First step in solving a problem is to admit the problem. My guess is that even if you were given sole power over everything.. you would still find something to be unhappy about.

Sometimes they do.  Like - when they're awake and such.

Point out where I said that I'm unhappy.

They do have the most punchable faces, so maybe even when some are asleep the temptation to unload may come up.

did you write this? if not, who did? Next time.. do not include the word, "myself" if you want to wiggle out of it.

You just said I was unhappy, meaning I am now unhappy, which is not the case. 

I said "sometimes" I get unhappy for normal, healthy reasons. I didn't say that I am unhappy now. 

You see partial, you need to not be a dumbass and learn how tensing works.

It says he's a normal american, not that he's 'unhappy'.   "a normal american, like myself.... "

Come on.. if you were truly content you would not be here every single day. Every day, someone can count on you posting a bunch of stuff about how unhappy you are with x, y, and z. Again.. next time, leave the word, "myself" out. As the saying goes, .."Give them enough rope"

What about the third word? Maybe when he puts those seven letters in that order.. he thinks it means something else. But for the rest of us, when you put u, n, h, a, p, p, y in that order, we glean the following defintion. 

not satisfied or pleased with (a situation).

Maybe you have a point. Even I have acknowledged to myself that I'm on here more than I should be. 

Good one, Partial. You actually make some sense here.

Yes - normal americans, of which he is one, are sometimes unhappy.  That doesn't say all normal americans are unhappy or that he's unhappy despite being a normal american.  It just says he's a normal american.  Now...  THAT part may be a topic of debate for some

I think what partialobserver is trying to say here is that he is incapable of being unhappy and that I should endeavor to be just like him -- at least that's what I'm gleaning from over here.

He's just in a combative mood today. The sentance very clearly didn't say you were unhappy, he's just being argumentative.  Sometimes he gets like this for a short time and then we get normal observer back.

One could hope you will eventually realise all the nits have been picked.

Must be his inner leftist fighting to get out. I see it quite often when dealing with "centrists" or "moderates".

Libbies are unhappy because "Build Back Better" has failed miserably.!

The Libbies in this site are also unhappy because our site leader allows us to respond to Libbie lies and insults in kind. That drives them wild. They're not used to dealing with opposition on an even footing. All the other sites shut conservatives down for feeding the Libbies their own crap.

For that alone...we are indepted to the leadership of this site.
