Examples of the left using fear to shape votes....What are those?
Examples of the left using fear to shape votes....What are those?
Idiotic sayings from the same people who told us first, if you DON’T drive a Tesla you hate the earth, then if you DO drive a Tesla you hate America, and if you eat a chicken sandwich from Chick Fil A, or shop at Target, you hate gays. That crop of idiots. Leftists. The “Jim Crow 2.0” morons.What are those?
You have got to be joking. You don’t think there are people legally in the US that aren’t in fear? You think brown people aren’t feeling fear of this government when we have troops in the streets? Masked thugs harassing them? You don’t think lifetime government employees aren’t afraid after so many of them aren’t showing enough loyalty to the dictator??I don't disagree with what you posted. We have guardrails, maybe they need to be higher, but we have some in place. I can't see where this administration governs on fear...I'm not afraid, are you? I don't see that Trump policies help "only the billionaire class". What about no tax on tips, overtime or the reduction in taxes on social security, prescription costs reductions, trump accounts (dumb name) these all benefit the middle and lower classes. Most are not impacted by return to pre covid ACA subsidies. I don't have any facts to back this up, but i's submit for debate that the rich are getting richer not necessarily because of the BBB but because of economic activities....just one example, Musk became a trillionaire (and then back to simply a multi, multi billionaire) because of an IPO. With Warren buffet, he gets richer because all his companies are growing...etc etc...The economics of life reward those with money with more money - look on you tube about the benefits of achieving a $100,000 portfolio....
Could we do more with guardrails, sure we can....but i's submit that universal childcare isn't necessarily a guardrail, but a government social program...food stamps or welfare...these are guardrails..
She’s far more intelligent than you and the child rapist you voted for.
Everyone accepts their socialism in America. We already have it here. Hell, billionaires gladly accept it.Make sense because while they like socialism they realize they share the country with other people(most) that wont accept it. So all the sides meet in the middle. Nobody is totally happy but its enough to avoid a war and keep the country together. The far left and right both suck azz and will be rejected by most people...
Excellent. Definitely worth watching this short vid.Food for thought on how we got here.

You tell us. You're the one suggesting a connection.Even more confusing is what does hating Jews and Israel have to do with socialism?
Define "good Dems" for us please.The decent/good Americans, & the nuts. Sad to see the nuts casting such influence simply because they’re loud. The good Dems are suffering due to this.
Worth watching. Especially the bit toward the end where he talks about U-shaped Populism. I don't appreciate the implied bothsidesism, but otherwise he makes good points.he says a lot..but here's my question about capitalism with a soul...because he seems to imply that our form has no soul...and I'd disagree with that position....we spend a lot of money on social welfare programs...welfare, Medicaid, food stamps etc. that doesn't demonstrate a "soulless" society. We have always been a society built on opportunity for all. Some seize it and some don't.
And of course he brings up billionaires....which ones are stealing from us? Gates who created Microsoft, Bezos who started amazon, Musk with Tesla, starlink and now spacex, Buffet with his empire? I'd be happy to jump on the "bad" billionaires bandwagon, but from what I've seen these folks put up capital took risks and won. If I don't want to buy my insurance tthough geico, I don't: If I don't want next day delivery, don't but through Amazon: don't want to pay a higher price for an apple computer, don't buy......I don't consider that stealing from me.
Red hats beware of socialism? I think he's looking though a prism on this one. both those on the left and the right should be concerned. These folks are being welcomed by democrats, not by republicans. We'll see how independents feel come November
Oh…I thought you guys would know more about the stuff you support than me. So I’ll ask again…what does “solidarity with Palestine” and “economically isolating Israel” have to do with Democratic Socialism?You tell us. You're the one suggesting a connection.
People forget that before the Tea Party coalesced into being (or was co-opted to be, depending on your slant) an arm of the GOP Right and eventually morphed into MAGA, it was a wildly bipartisan uprising against corporate control of our government.Even MAGA is full of Democratic Socialists. Everything they say they want from Trump we were talking about long before that: no new wars, higher wages for working class people, more protections for consumers, more affordable healthcare.
Nonsense. You have to offer tortured examples of crazies on the left - mostly made up or greatly exaggerated - for that to have any semblance to the truth.I’ve said it from the start. MAGA and the far left/ DSA are two sides of the same coin. The crazy coin.
whoa, you think that this is the first time that people in this country have lived in fear? Go to a Chicago, or DC street...in anacostia. You actually think that all brown people are fearful of troops on the streets? That's not what interviews of folks in DC have supported....You think this is the first time government employees have been Riffed? how about this from AI "Led by Vice President Al Gore through the "National Performance Review," the initiative downsized the executive branch civilian workforce by approximately 377,000 to 426,000 employees between 1993 and 2000" .You have got to be joking. You don’t think there are people legally in the US that aren’t in fear? You think brown people aren’t feeling fear of this government when we have troops in the streets? Masked thugs harassing them? You don’t think lifetime government employees aren’t afraid after so many of them aren’t showing enough loyalty to the dictator??
Damn you’re entitled. You aren’t affected so everything is fine. Such selfish and simple thinking.
I said “far left/ DSA”. Your strawman doesn’t work here. Let’s name the actual stances held by many of the far left/ DSA, shall we?Nonsense. You have to offer tortured examples of crazies on the left - mostly made up or greatly exaggerated - for that to have any semblance to the truth.
It's no stretch to find awful and nutty people on the right. It is on the left.
Is wanting good health care for all crazy?
Is recognizing that climate change is a looming crisis crazy?
Is thinking American children deserve a world class public education system crazy?
Obviously I could keep listing important things the left supports and MAGAs fight against.
So you admit it. Thanks. Nice attempt at moving the goalposts though.whoa, you think that this is the first time that people in this country have lived in fear?

I swear, you anti trump guys somehow believe that pre trump everything in this country was a semi utopia with no problems.. read a little history....in the 1960s black people had dogs set on them, they were beaten openly by police and publicly denied entrance to a universities....i posted about RIFs during a Democrat administration - more than during this administration.
You live, apparently, in a dream world where every problem in the country is Trump's fault. Oh, how you do you know if I'm affected or not. And, I'm far from entitled I grew up in a lower middle class neighborhood, 3kids to a bedroom, parents had to rent out rooms to afford the mortgage. But, this is America. If you're willing to work you can succeed.
If you agree with Democratic Socialism why have you spent my entire life opposing our shared goals the instant one of us puts one of these goals forward?One needs to understand politics isnt a monolith. There are many issues that multiple sides agree with. Its just right now the left makes it hard for a moderate Dem to agree with anything on the right. The cult wont allow it. Meanwhile Im free to agree with the left a many issues. We might not agree on how to fix or go about something , but we agree on the issue...
That's my point. Why do Republicans throw a fit when a Democrat puts forward a Republican idea?Those things are common things we agree on. Why do people think if the other side likes something then you must oppose it?
the goalposts are still where they were...it's the teams that keep misinterpreting the reality of the game..So you admit it. Thanks. Nice attempt at moving the goalposts though.
You literally have no idea what you’re talking about. Basically you’re full of crap. My life is great. What you righties can’t comprehend is we libs like to look out for the less fortunate or privileged. You’re good with billionaires buying off politicians and molding the nation in a way that works for them only. You just don’t want to be wrong so you won’t admit you see what I’m talking about. Instead you throw the jealousy card. It’s simpleton thinking. You’re obtuse and show no depth.the goalposts are still where they were...it's the teams that keep misinterpreting the reality of the game..
There are now, and there will always be people, like yourself, who just are unhappy with their lot in life. A lot of the things you complain about today existed yesterday, weeks ago, months, years and decades ago....it's just that you weren't there to either complain about it it applaud it depending on which party was in office
And? So what.
**Applause**whoa, you think that this is the first time that people in this country have lived in fear? Go to a Chicago, or DC street...in anacostia.

I’ve said it from the start. MAGA and the far left/ DSA are two sides of the same coin. The crazy coin.
Kind of like how Obama used ICE in the exact same manner as it’s being used now and the Dems lose their s#it. Remember? The “Deporter in Chief”?That's my point. Why do Republicans throw a fit when a Democrat puts forward a Republican idea?
This exact thing happened to Obama the second he adopted Romneycare. Same exact healthcare idea. Celebrated when a Republican said it. Demonized when a Democrat said it.
okYou literally have no idea what you’re talking about. Basically you’re full of crap. My life is great. What you righties can’t comprehend is we libs like to look out for the less fortunate or privileged.

Not a Conservative idea. Romney is a far-right establishment politician. We dont want mandatory, we want the option. There lies the difference. Obama lied when he said we could keep our doctors we had and most people knew this before it was passed and said as much...That's my point. Why do Republicans throw a fit when a Democrat puts forward a Republican idea?
This exact thing happened to Obama the second he adopted Romneycare. Same exact healthcare idea. Celebrated when a Republican said it. Demonized when a Democrat said it.
Then why did Romney install it and why did Republicans make him their nominee with this being his signature achievement?Not a Conservative idea. We dont want mandatory, we want the option. There lies the difference...
I oppose Socialism and for a free market. I agree with Dems on some social issues much like Trump. Thus MAGA is full of moderate libs and conservatives. The extremes on both sides hate us and the feeling is mutual...If you agree with Democratic Socialism why have you spent my entire life opposing our shared goals the instant one of us puts one of these goals forward?
Lack of a good option much like you had with Harris and Hillary and us with Trump. We had to bring a moderate Lib into the party because we are tired of the rinos...Then why did Romney install it and why did Republicans make him their nominee with this being his signature achievement?
You nailed it.the goalposts are still where they were...it's the teams that keep misinterpreting the reality of the game..
There are now, and there will always be people, like yourself, who just are unhappy with their lot in life. A lot of the things you complain about today existed yesterday, weeks ago, months, years and decades ago....it's just that you weren't there to either complain about it it applaud it depending on which party was in office
We had to bring a moderate Lib into the party because we are tired of the rinos...
First you guys create Romneycare. Then Obama adopts it. Then you call it socialism and the worst thing ever. Then you nominate Romney himself. Then you tell us for going on 20 years that repeal and replace is always two weeks away.Lack of a good option much like you had with Harris and Hillary and us with Trump. We had to bring a moderate Lib into the party because we are tired of the rinos...
Imagine putting Romney up against someone like Joe Manchin, and saying there's a big difference.Huh? There is practically no difference between a rino and a moderate lib. Other than a few tiny differences, they are the same thing.
There is a huge difference. Rino's are the same as Dino's. Libs are the real Dem's and Conservatives are the real Rep's. Maga is made up of moderates from both sides. But the Rino's and Dino's are establishment ruling class scum that run the whole show. Every wonder why things dont get done like DACA when your side had total power and Reps didnt have the power to stop it. Establishment doesnt want to solve issues. They need issues to divide the people making it easier to control us. When Reps had the power to get rid of Obamacare why didnt they? Same reason you didnt get DACA. Us normies are being played. They dont really care about us. The only divide that matters isnt race or borders, its class. Class warfare is being waged against anybody not establishment. Divide and conquer is the playbook....Huh? There is practically no difference between a rino and a moderate lib. Other than a few tiny differences, they are the same thing.
They dont make me look bad they expose their own shyatt. I never liked Romney or Jeb Bush. My eyes got opened during the Iraq war. GW was the last establishment type that got over on me. As far as the GOP goes its in a civil war between the establishment and MAGA. Something similar is starting to happen in the DNC...First you guys create Romneycare. Then Obama adopts it. Then you call it socialism and the worst thing ever. Then you nominate Romney himself. Then you tell us for going on 20 years that repeal and replace is always two weeks away.
I can confidently say that the Republican party has no clue what it's doing here.
And if you agree, why aren't you willing to say that the GOP is making people like you look bad?
