Democrats Hate Republicans Hate Democrats

Polarization as they call it.

What specific things does the Political Party you support offer that keeps you from voting for the opposing party?

My party is deeply conflicted and focused on less government.

They will never win a damned thing, but like John Galt

when it is all over they will be asked

to put Humpty together...

 

[SpeareChucker]

I never said those voting straight party line decide elections. I vote straight party line as do a great many people, enough so to have our voice heard. One person, one vote. My vote still counts towards the election results nonetheless.

My vote counts for very little.

We don't have Democrats here.

They were run out due to rampant racism...

Good job libtards.

Latest CNN polls shows an old, rich, white guy leading. Followed by an old, rich, white guy socialist in 2nd place.

How original. Lol!

You must be proud.

As I said, Democrats have failed at convincing America that they need anything beyond that. The rest of the Democrat pack may as well throw in the towel right now because the face of their party is a mirror image, fighting fire with fire. The difference is Biden hasn’t got it in him to go the long haul with Trump without reversing himself on issues or showing his weakness in the face of adversity.

Pete is still in contention.

He is a white son of a Communist and in a year, he'll be older!



Added bonus! He was in the rear with the gear. He served his country.

I wouldn’t vote for Pete.

I wouldn’t vote for Pete.

I won't vote for anyone but the Pot Head or maybe Trump.


I really like the way he makes the PIIIGS squeal.


Not to mention NATO...

^^^^ why you are retarded.
LAWLZ!
Be sure to say hi to your one black friend and thank you for wasting your vote on an old, rich white guy. One you can aspire to be, the 2nd part, you'll never make it, low rent.

Soshulizm rulz.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Robert is the perfect example of a Democrat.

His list is ambiguous.

He will accept someone else's version of life care as long as the government controls it.
He is one of Plato's "natural slaves."

 

[BotanyBoy]

Let's haz some FUN!

Partial list and in particular order
1) The environment Kinda fair, don't really see what (D)'s are doing to help the environment.
2) Reproductive rights and health- Sure
3) Pro consumer over business - Tha fuck does that even mean and how do the (D)'s provide this?
4) Health care costs and protections = Communist garbage.
5) Renewable energy over fossil fuels = More communist garbage.
6) Civil rights- What about them? The (D)'s want to censor speech, disarm everyone and take all their shit...
7) Education- (D)'s have destroyed it by lowering standards so everyone can get it, quantity over quality and throwing money at it doesn't make it better.
8) LGBTQ rights- Fair.
9) Gun control- I thought you were pro civil rights???
10) Death penalty- word me too.
11) Voting rights- for who?? All citizens have voting rights.

Just a little addition.

LOL being a democrat doesn't make you not a racist douche bag....Rob, Zumi, Carnal Flower, NowisTheTime and yourself are living proof to the contrary.

Why I vote Democratic

1) Pro-choice without exception- Fair
2) Single payer health care (Scandanavian model, not NHS Britain)- Fair, wonder why states don't.
3) Civil rights for all races, not just white males- what civil rights do white males have that other races don't? It's ok, we know you can't answer that one and neither can anyone else in the "Name the white privilege" game.
4) Reasonable regulation of steel penis substitutes, $200 "victim compensation tax" yearly on every firearm you own (first one exempt) A spite tax is not reasonable regulation.
5) Religious freedoms (not Christian Sharia law)-No such thing as "Christian Sharia law"....that narrative is a lie.
6) Abolish charter schools, which are scams. Build trade schools. Word on the trade schools, no need to take folks freedom of choice away.
7) Reduce gold-plated military budget Agreed.
8) Abolish ICE why? What benefit do you think uncontrolled immigration will bring?
9) Free/reduced tuition for public universities Agreed, public schools should be.....public.
10) End stock-buyback programs. CEO pay capped at 40X lowest paid worker. 70 percent marginal tax rate over 500K Agree with the tax rate at least until our debt has been paid down a bit. The rest of it is socialist bullshit and more proof you hate the USA.
11) Tax capital gains at ordinary income rates - fair.
12) Federal prohibition on gerrymandering - Sure.
13) Elizabeth Warren's 10% surtax on overseas earnings of multinational corporations. What good do you think that will do?
14) All church property other than actual worship locations subject to property taxes. - You seriously hate 1A don't you??
15) Streamline immigration. No more 20 year backlogs for Hispanics. You want to abolish ICE....LOL so do you want it streamlined or abolished??? Can't have it both ways. Also, why just for Hispanics? Why not everyone? We know why...

Ahhhh it's gonna be a good day.

Ambiguous? It's pretty straightforward. It's a list of general principles, not a fucking policy paper, chief.

I notice you lack the testicular fortitude to go on record yourself with your beliefs, but standing tall and taking a stand was never a particularly memorable trait amongst you Vietnam-era Marines.

^^ won't stand tall behind his general principal and name the civil rights white males have that others don't.

Go ahead Rob....stand tall and list the specific rights and or immunities only white men are allowed.

You gotta be kidding. You insult Marines based on what experience? WTF are you? Your list of "democratic principles" is pure nonsense. You think Democrats believe in achieving any of those items? Democrats, and Republicans, want power for themselves; that's all.

Wow. Actually, shame on me for falling for your trolling nonsense.

So sorry, Chum Lee, I gotta hit the gym and then head off to work. My taxes have to pay for that sweet sweet largesse your large ass gets from Uncle Sugar each month.

I'll be back later to show you teh many errors of your ways a bit later.
Be afraid, Be velly afraid.

In the interim, why don't you amuse us with a bulletpoint list of your glibertarian beliefs.

If you're man enough, that is.

Now that Uncle Sugar has given you a new artificial spine, your "Me have no backbone, so sorry" excuse won't work anymore.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Robert



This is why you could not make it into the Lit HOF.

We know it galls you. It makes you seethe with anger...



I'm going to watch a movie and maybe take a nap while you steal from your employer.

Because we can.

You'll change his name to "HouseSquaw" and call him CHIEF? haha And then proclaim yourself to be against racism?

 

[SpeareChucker]

It's okay for white "Progressives" to use race as a weapon...





... when we are off the reservation.



They'll kill redskins as happily as they lynch blacks.
It's all about their white privilege and maintaining it.

I'm the reason so many of them resort to Alinsky-like AVs and racist retorts.

I AM HI-HO SILVER, THE TRIGGER! KIMOSABE!
BotanyBoy has to put up with the same shit.
He's not a "good" Asian...

Like a Hawaiian Asian.

You've used the n-word as a weapon on Lit on multiple occasions.

You've also used Kike.

Hell, just look at your current username.

[HisArpy]

Since you asked.

Action on climate change. The other party can't even recognize that its real and it is happening and the time to do something about it is now.

Economic equality. I worry that the other party is dedicated to making certain that the inequality becomes an insurmountable divide no one can cross.

Common sense gun reform. The other party is dedicated to having military grade weapons sold widely and blindly.

Corruption and abuse of office. The other party likes to throw around the phrase "drain the swamp" as a campaign slogan, but installs the biggest most corrupt of swamp monsters into positions of power.

Decent and humane immigration reform. The other party demagogues about MS13 and caravans, and thinks locking up kids in cages is a good idea. I can't vote for locking up kids in cages. I just can't. That's not the America I live in.

Voter suppression. The other party has a strategy to restrict the ability of people to play a part in the democracy that is their right to participate in.

Action on the student debt problem. The other party's idea on acting on it is laughing about millennials and avocado toast and using the phrase "boot straps" to belittle the whole problem as a joke.

Medicare for all. The other party idea is repeal the ACA leaving a lot of Americans in the lurch without healthcare while moaning about the cost of Medicare for all while giving rich people tax breaks to the tune of a deficit of 2 billion dollars.

Money in politics. This is my number one issue as a voter. I hate the influence of big money donors from the Koch brothers and Mercers and I hate the influence of Soros and Bloomberg on my own party. I hate the influence of corporate pacs and lobbyists and "think tanks". The democrats like Hillary and Obama and Pelosi and Schumer serve their donors interests not the voters but the other party is built to kneel and grovel and serve their donors rather than their constituents twice as much more IMO.

If a republican eschewed corprorate donations to their campaigns and relied solely on small dollar donations from actual voters like Bernie or AOC do I'd consider voting for them. As it stands if they take the knee and kiss the Koch brother's ass or the Mercers or big Pharma or the NRA's I have no interest in voting for them.

That's a great list of someone else's group think talking points.

Let's pic one, not at random, and talk about why you think Medicare for all is a good deal. (This is going to be a long post but stick with it please)

The first point is a question; have you EVER seen anything the government gets involved with cost less? Me neither. But that's not the driving issue here.

The burning issue with healthcare is the cost. If everyone could afford it, everyone could have health care. Notice I didn't say ACCESS to health care, I said health care. The 2 are different and the ACA only appears to provide access instead of actual coverage.

But, even putting that aside, why can't more American's afford health care? Simple answers say its too expensive, yet other countries seem to be able to get it done. So, what is it about America that isn't working?

The answer, IMO, lies in the way we think about obtaining health coverage. The industry favors groups rather than individuals, even though individuals outnumber groups. The reason for this is simple, they get more per policy from individuals and that makes it appear that they're making more money "per sale".

It's a very stupid business model. Those who can't afford your $1m widget that costs $2 to make don't buy it. And we wind up with people with no health care coverage for the same reason.

There are answers and solutions to this problem which don't require governmental intervention. Take for example that internet site GoodRX. If you print their coupon, you can get prescription drugs cheaper than the retail price. Wait, what? How the hell is that done?

GoodRX has a guy who negotiates with the pharmacies for the lower prices just like a group plan benefits manager/negotiator does. That's it. That's all it takes. Negotiation is the key to getting affordable coverage. It's what groups do.

Now, the insurance companies aren't going to roll over for just an individual so you need to be thinking about how you're going to get through the "group" doorway.

Unions offer group rates to their members. If a union can do it, why can't groups of individuals with a point of commonality also get that? In my particular circumstance, my State Bar Association should be offering group health care (they don't - no State Bar does). Were they to do so, those attorneys in solo practice could have health care at group rates. There's no restriction on this that I can see, so, again, if Unions can do it so can others. All it takes it banding together "officially" and hiring that guy to negotiate on your behalf.

So, start a group. Call it the Social Career Association of Badass Separatists or something. Get members, collect dues, and find that coverage and other "discounts" that groups get.

Or you can ask the nanny state to do that for you and live with the bureaucratic mess that inevitably results.

The rest of your list is just as easily parsed. It's nothing but bumper sticker slogans packaged from ramblings and sold to the ill informed masses. There's no thought behind it, just a cry of "Mommieeeeeee". As a person, you can do better. As an American you are required to do much better. America is the land of the free and the home of the brave. Either measure up or don't, but you aren't getting to take the rest of us down with you without a fight. Which is why we have Trump in the WH.

 

[BotanyBoy]

So sorry, Chum Lee, I gotta hit the gym and then head off to work. My taxes have to pay for that sweet sweet largesse your large ass gets from Uncle Sugar each month.

Yea.....can't name a single civil right or immunity that's exclusive to white males

And thanks for the tax break enjoy your PT.

I'll be back later to show you teh many errors of your ways a bit later.
Be afraid, Be velly afraid.

Hurling racial slurs and ascription doesn't qualify.

In the interim, why don't you amuse us with a bulletpoint list of your glibertarian beliefs.

Considering I recognize and in most cases support the promotion of positive liberty it's kinda hard for me to be libertarian.

Your open hatred for the political philosophy the USA was founded and built upon as well as your flagrant lies and blatant dishonesty notwithstanding.

But sure.

It's my belief that the primary job of the US government is to secure and promote individual liberty.

Not group rights or equitable outcomes for all....that is leftism which is evil and un-American.

If you're man enough, that is.

Now that Uncle Sugar has given you a new artificial spine, your "Me have no backbone, so sorry" excuse won't work anymore.

Ohhh gotta get that racism in somewhere, Rob just can't resist.

Can't name a single right or immunity that's exclusive to white males though.....all your deflections and lies to the contrary.

Why do you have to be so dishonest Rob?

 

[BotanyBoy]

It really is pure trolling BS, and seems very typical of today's Democrat << which isn't "democratic" at all.

You'll change his name to "HouseSquaw" and call him CHIEF? haha And then proclaim yourself to be against racism?

Rob is big on using racial slurs....especially against people of color who don't toe the ethno-socialist line, right before he accuses them of being "white nationalist" .

This is of course his standard method of deflecting when he can't actually defend his positions....like pointing out a right or immunity exclusive to white males.
