POLL: Conservatives & Progressives: What is your goal here?

[Rustic]

It's been my contention for some time now that perhaps what we need to do as a country is divide it in half and each political group gets a side. We can't seem to get along, and as time moves forward, we are drifting further and further apart.

Imagine how great it would be to live in a country with no liberals around at all? Low crime, lower taxes, less laws and regulations, very few people on social programs? Life would be great, and the best part of all, is if we chose my side of the country for conservatives to live on, my property value would double overnight.

Half won't do. We get all the coasts, you get the Flyover.

That's very typical lib of you. More for you and less for everybody else. It's like a creed or something with you people.

I say divide the country in half, and we will build a wall to keep you out of our side. I'm all for that.

Start with Texas, to keep them away from the rest of us.

Crazy Cali can succeed as they wish… Their votes don't count anyways… LOL

The majority of votes didn't could this year. Not a good thing.

[Ray From Cleveland]

I'm a liberal, I wouldn't know, but that sounds like most people and all religions.

Is that a cop out? Like I said many times over, why don't you progressives keep your socialism to yourselves and leave the rest of us out of the shit?

[Harry Dresden]

im not blaming the system Joe,you are....the system worked the way it has for 200 years ....i can accept who ever wins,and just do what i can to survive the guys term,like most sensible people will....we survived bush we survived obama.....we will survive trump.....

first, I'm not 100% sure we will survive Trump.

secondly, no, the system didn't work. The people made it pretty clear they didn't want Trump and we got him anyway.

joe.....learn how our elections work.....your problem like so many others is....you cant believe the "most qualified" person ever spent a billion dollars, and lost to trump....get over it....

It put the crazy into the White House. Hillary was Bill Clinton (in panties) and would have governed like he did. Good times, maybe they will come again someday?

We are not all in this together… Getting along is way overrated

 

[Harry Dresden]

the election wasnt stolen....it was lost by one hillary clinton....next time run someone who at least has likability factor on the positive side and doesnt have the baggage and taint she had........

When you get the most votes - you didn't lose. Do try again.

why isnt she president then?.....did she win or lose?....you try again....

She won, she got the most votes, but Trump was appointed by the EC anyway. Very undemocratic.

We are not a Democracy, we are a Republic.

You and I get into an argument about who the best pool player is, so we agree to a game of 8-ball to determine who is right.

I break, and get two solids in and a stripe. Because of the placement of the striped balls, I choose stripes.

As I knock my balls into the pocket, I accidentally knock in another solid ball. I miss the eighth ball and it's your turn. You knock in all the solid balls and then the eight ball to win the game. But I protest saying I am the better player because I knocked in more balls than you did. Would you agree with that?

Of course not. We were not playing to see who could knock the most balls in, we were playing to see who could knock the most selected balls in.

If we had a popular vote race, Trump would have spent much more time in blue states to get every last vote. But he chose red and swing states to capture the most electoral votes. You can't say Hillary won anything because neither were after popular votes. They both played by the same rules, after the same goals, and Hil-Liar lost.

In a democracy the majority rules. The majority isn't ruling in this case. That is a problem in our democratic republic that needs to be - fixed.

We know how it works, even why it was done, but it's simply wrong.

the majority rules?....was that your thinking when california voted down gay marriage ...twice.....but was overruled anyway?....

The people don't get to vote on the rights of others. Soon no one would have any.

That's mob rule and we don't have that either.

Bill Clinton was only good for progressive America, The child molester/rapist was well related to by progressives/liberal's.
You still have not answered my question, why don't you socialists keep your shit to yourself? Could it be you want to force others into your shit hole?

If that were true - you'd be a liberal.

"Liberalism, political doctrine that takes protecting and enhancing the freedom of the individual to be the central problem of politics. Liberals typically believe that government is necessary to protect individuals from being harmed by others; but they also recognize that government itself can pose a threat to liberty. As the revolutionary American pamphleteer Thomas Paine expressed it in “Common Sense” (1776), government is at best “a necessary evil.” Laws, judges, and police are needed to secure the individual’s life and liberty, but their coercive power may also be turned against him. The problem, then, is to devise a system that gives government the power necessary to protect individual liberty but also prevents those who govern from abusing that power."

 

[sealybobo]

So a winger from one end shoots a Congressman from the other end, and we on USMB take that serious and thought-provoking occasion to keep right on attacking, mocking & insulting each other. Pretty much immediately.

Tell me, what is the goal of non-stop attacks on the other side?
.

They did it to us. Try to act better next time you're the minority. And you've shown us how to win. Obstruct obstruct obstruct

One more time - I'm not a progressive.

And maybe they want morons like you to be less moronic?

You are not a progressive? LOL

Nope. I'm a liberal, like the Founders (only much smarter).

oh geez.....
