Do you really believe what we have today is capitalism?Is capitalism failing these people that badly?
Fair enoughDo you really believe what we have today is capitalism?
"Modern colonialism in the Middle East" is 57 Muslim countries, territory from Morocco to Mindanao, bent on destroying Judaism. A religion, Islam, which has done NOTHING BUT COLONIZE since its inception attempting to annihilate a country of 10 million and a worldwide population of ~15 million Jews.boohoo.
FDR was elected 4 TIMES.
He improved this country with social programs. Stop crying pubs about social programs. If you don't like one, point out how it should be changed, and call your rep and voice your opinion. Destroying programs that help people, doesn't seem to change how much you pay in taxes.
Some social programs are bad, some are good. Pretending we should just be taxed so the executive branch can conduct modern colonialism in the middle east and enrich private citizens with OUR money, isn't a great idea for me bro. Yall suck out loud with you smooth brained scare tactics.
We should have a national day of shitting on FDRs grave for social security alone.boohoo.

I know you don’t like DSA, but they are collecting influence within the Dem party quickly. Dems are selling their souls to the devil, imo.It’s like these DSA spokespeople saw MAGA failing to learn the history of fascism, got jealous and jumped in bed with a hapless socialist ideology that has never worked. The people the DSA choose to speak are absolute nutbags.
Hope it doesn’t rub off on the actual Dem candidates, because we need Congress to check Trump.
I think it is a little more nuanced than that. This is how I see it:I know you don’t like DSA, but they are collecting influence within the Dem party quickly. Dems are selling their souls to the devil, imo.
I'm not saying you are wrong but i see it slightly differently.I think it is a little more nuanced than that. This is how I see it:
What I think our progressive friends miss is the obvious parallels to the MAGA movement. Mainstream Congressional GOP have embraced fascist tendencies in an effort to motivate the far right vote. And it has worked in the short run - especially because you have a highly charismatic, naturally fascist leader in Trump. I don’t believe that movement survives post Trump. In any event I don’t believe courting a failed ideology just to secure power is the right thing to do. Sometimes it backfires and you get the extreme policies you said were just a vision. We are living through that now. This is why I keep equating the DSA platform to Project 2025. Sure the DSA lacks power today. But MAGA went from nothing to full control of all three branches of our country in about a decade. That is a very quick evolution on a historical timescale.
- The core of DSA are socialist nutbags who actually believe Marx was right despite overwhelming evidence from history
- These nutbags (for the most part) are not the ones running for office, they are more the philosophical leaders of the DSA movement. They are the spokespeople/co-chairs we see on the news recently
- In an effort to capture the far left Gen Z vote the Dems, in particular progressive Dems in deep blue districts, have courted the DSA. They are attempting to maintain a very large tent. Over the long term I would say an impossibly large tent.
- Most of those candidates, even the progressive ones, don’t want the full DSA platform. For instance most don’t want to abolish the senate (hell some of them are running for senate seats) or completely eliminate borders/prisons.
- But progressives do have valid concerns about corporate-influenced, do-nothing “moderates” like Schumer. I don’t see this as a failing of Schumer’s policy beliefs. This is a failing of Schumer as a leader. He hews towards corporate interests out of greed and self preservation, not out of genuine policy beliefs
- And so as a reaction progressives lend support to the DSA, even if just by association. And this is my concern. If you spend time wallowing with pigs you might end up smelling like sh*t - even if you aren’t a pig.
We are just going to disagree on Trump. But we both knew that alreadyI'm not saying you are wrong but i see it slightly differently.
To me it seems as if Dems have had a hysterical overreaction to losing. They went Banana's when Trump was elected.
While i do agree the DSA is the counter to MAGA, i disagree that MAGA lurched to the right. I still think Trump is a 90's type democrat. Many policies that Hillary, Shumer, Obama et al supported loud and clear previously, are now taboo within the mainstream of the party. Now the party is trying to lurch further left, further left from which they just lost in a landslide.
Trump has moderate positions on Abortion, Unions, and is a strong supporter of individual liberties. None of those are fascist positions. He is not a fascist. He is a nationalist, and i think that is great. I want a President that puts America first. I also think you are strongly mistaken that this will disappear after Trump. That is a big misread of the room imho.
He was loved and with good reason.We should have a national day of shitting on FDRs grave for social security alone.
That man's name should be viewed as the midpoint between sun dried foreskin and anal herpes.
Fu.ck FDR. Worthless pile of ****.
If you are completely dependent on SS and understand ROI you would fu.cking hate it more than I do.He was loved and with good reason.
Some people like ss. You know, those people completely dependent on it.
Guess you hate interstates too. Stupid social programs making life better and allowing interstate commerce.
Yall are sad. Your grandparents helped to build a great country and you just poop all over it.
boooohoooIf you are completely dependent on SS and understand ROI you would fu.cking hate it more than I do.
FDR launched a pyramid scheme on the United States populace and if it were not a government program it would be shut down for fraud. The entire premise is each generation is going to be larger and put in more than the one it replaces to pay people with other people's money. Sounds familiar?

And here is another thing about FDR nobody likes to admit. If Charles de Gaulle didnt tell him to **** himself the axis would have been in the war MUCH longer.
The only people it has kept from poverty are the administrators pushing it out.boooohooo
Social Security is one of the most successful social programs in this countries history. Its kept millions out of homelessness. Your solution: nothing. Now shhhh you dont have solutions you just whine.
Uh huh. Riddle me this batman, if you privatize ss, will our big brother corporate overlords guarantee your payout? Hmmmmm? No thats why the government does it.The only people it has kept from poverty are the administrators pushing it out.
There are many vehicles available that would provide a much higher ROI and you dont need to feed the government to use them. The whole thing was sold as a safety net so people didnt go broke and the government bankrupt it. Its a ******* scam that only morons think is a viable solution. If we could opt out of SS zero people would opt in, you get pennies on the dollar compared to any other investment vehicle. Big brother was going to take care of you and within 80 years they lost all our money, never mind the interest.
You mean if instead of giving the government money you invested it in any vehicle that had value like gold, silver, or bonds?Uh huh. Riddle me this batman, if you privatize ss, will our big brother corporate overlords guarantee your payout? Hmmmmm? No thats why the government does it.

so here's the thing "democrats argued the maps violated the......but republicans argued (apparently) that the action did not violate the....so in situation like that what happens in our system? somebody sues...I don't know anything about her so I have no comment on her victory but I understand why she's pissed - they're trying to gerrymander blacks out of representation. Somebody needs to be raising holy hell.
"This occurred during a special session vote on mid-decade congressional redistricting maps backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. Democrats argued the maps violated Florida’s Fair Districts Amendment (which restricts partisan and racial gerrymandering) and would likely cost Democrats up to four U.S. House seats.
Nixon paced the chamber shouting phrases such as “This is a violation of the Constitution,” “What y’all are doing is illegal,” and similar statements about democracy and voters. The disruption caused temporary confusion; at least twoso, here's the thing..."democrats argu Democrats later said they accidentally recorded “yes” votes because of the noise (one thought it was a quorum call). The maps still passed on a party-line vote.
Nixon showed no remorse, saying she would do it again (and with a bigger pink megaphone if needed). She framed it as standing up against an “illegal” map and for voters, particularly communities of color."
Dpic is legally incorrect. He's just upset that republicans are doing what democrats have done for years.so here's the thing "democrats argued the maps violated the......but republicans argued (apparently) that the action did not violate the....so in situation like that what happens in our system? somebody sues...
and results of the suits? well up to and including the Florida supreme court, the courts have denied petitions to stop implementing the new maps...so is Nixon right in her statement that "this violates the constitution" or are you just posting something that supports your position but is legally incorrect? I know you don't see it this way, since you reposted an article, but just because a Democrat says something it doesn't make it true. (Of course just because a Republican says it doesn't make it true either)

isn't your question one of the major differences in our political parties? One believes government is the answer and the other believes in individual accountability responsibility. Likely, if you put it to a vote, democrats would be in favor of keeping SS and republicans would vote in an individual account based one.Uh huh. Riddle me this batman, if you privatize ss, will our big brother corporate overlords guarantee your payout? Hmmmmm? No thats why the government does it.
Why do you always create an argument for me that I wasn't making?so here's the thing "democrats argued the maps violated the......but republicans argued (apparently) that the action did not violate the....so in situation like that what happens in our system? somebody sues...

Legally incorrect about what? I said I understand why she's mad so can you explain how that makes me legally incorrect?Dpic is legally incorrect. He's just upset that republicans are doing what democrats have done for years.

Note that you will never see pink complain about blue states looking like this. His outrage only goes one way.
hey, I'm only reposting the words in your post.Why do you always create an argument for me that I wasn't making?
Me: I understand why she's mad because blacks are being drawn out of representation
Ned: You are wrong about it violating the Constitution because the Supreme Court rejected the legal challenge
The words in italics were from grok when I asked it to put the tweet in context, those were not my words.hey, I'm only reposting the words in your post.
If your words have a different meaning than what you mean, don't post that stuff. you posted the words "violating the constitution", I didn't
But the same principle applies. If the new redistricting means blacks are being drawn out of representation, then somebody sues, and the results are exactly as I posted. Courts have denied the challenges.
I'm not creating an argument. I just think that you can't just say "somebody should be raising holy hell" just because someone else is upset over the "legal" actions of the majority. Ms Nixon is entitled to her opinion, but, at least in this case, her opinion, and apparently yours, has gone to the Florida supreme court and objections denied.
California Democrat mayor just quit after admitting she was a Chinese communist agent.
Eileen Wang, mayor of Arcadia, stepped down after striking a plea deal and admitting she acted as an illegal foreign agent for the Chinese government — spreading Beijing’s propaganda in the U.S. under their direction.
She faces up to 10 years in federal prison.
How many more are still in office?
