What both sides should NOT do

[Moscow Mitch McTraitor]

Your point of view is misguided. Here's why - you should NEVER try to normalize a racist, dangerous bully like Trump. Yes, we liberals despise Trump and he should be called out on his hateful bullshit ever single day of his disastrous Presidency.

And do you really think Dems are going to be able to work with Repugs to get any legislation passed? Were you asleep during Obama's presidency?

Regardless, trying to have a high-minded legislative policy debate when we have a fascist in the White House is absolutely pointless. Everything takes a back seat to removing Trump. No progress can be made in this country until his evil ass is gone.

I already know that Trump is not worthy of support. I've known that for a long time. If someone wants me support they better be telling me and showing me more than "Trump is bad".

I should support a group that simply tells me what I already know?

No, that's not what the OP is saying. He's saying the Democratic candidates should focus primarily on talking about their legislative positions, like these are normal times. That is a mistake, we are at a crossroads in this country's history.

Our democracy is currently in jeopardy and 2020 could be the last election of our lifetime, especially since Trump doesn't give a flying fuck about Russia's interference. The Dem candidates can continue to talk about their policy positions, but pointing out Trump's racist and reckless behavior every single day should be their top priority. The Dem candidates are never going to have a chance to implement their precious policies if we have no more fucking democracy. I think Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are the only Dem candidates that fully understand the threat to our democracy that Trump represents. Maybe Buttigieg as well.

As Buttigieg recently stated, being President is not just a policy job, it's a moral job as well. Trump is a disgrace and an embarrassment to this country and the Dem candidates need to point that out every single day.

THOUGHTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT:

As both sides gear up for the 2020 election, here is what each side should NOT do:

Democrats - Stop bitching about Donald Trump. I don't agree with everything Rush Limbaugh says, but he is correct in pointing out Democrats do that more complaining about Trump than they do anything else - including legislation regarding our infrastructure, national debt, healthcare, education, military veterans etc. Democrats need to seek bipartisan legislation with Republicans, rather than insisting on having things their own way. If all the Democrats can do is bitch about Trump, they will get their butts kicked again, and deservedly so!




Republicans - Stop using socialism as a scare tactic: It's not working anymore, especially among women, today over half of women would prefer to live in a socialist country, while a majority of men would prefer to live in a capitalist one (and socialism is growing in popularity among men too!) The reasons for this is healthcare and education, 2 things America cannot - or will not - provide for its citizens. The GOP can try this scare tactic of course, but socialism is becoming more popular, it's not so scary anymore.

You're a complete idiot.

I’m not a fan of president Trump, he is an entertainer and should be in that arena not a position of esteem or leadership... however I can’t agree with your assessment. All that does is validate the tit for tat that bounces right back once the dems gain power. The socialist hyperbole then takes over and it’s all about obstruction to save America from becoming Venezuela. The end result is nothing gets done. You are in the minority and the opposition party right now. You should act in a way that you’d like the republicans to act once your party is in power and they are the minority.

I respectfully disagree. It's not "tit for tat" to call-out Trump on his racist, bullying, and traitorous behavior. If you fail to do that every day, then you are normalizing his egregious behavior and making it acceptable.

There is no more Republican Party. They have sat silently as Trump constantly makes racist, bullying comments and as he does nothing to prevent Russia from interfering in future elections. They have completely disgraced themselves.

There is now only a fascist, evil Trump Party. And the Dems should not cooperate with the fascists in the Trump Party if they ever take back control of Congress and the White House. You don't cooperate with fascists who don't believe in democracy.

What's your point? So Trump should be allowed to make racists comments every day, because he was elected President? He should do nothing to prevent Russia from interfering in future elections?

You obviously didn't read my post carefully. The Dem candidates should talk about their policy positions, but pointing out that Trump is a racist and a danger to our democracy is much more important.

If you don't see that and you don't see how Trump is worse than previous presidents, then you haven't been paying attention. Trump is allowing Russia to attack our elections with impunity. No president has ever been this reckless.

Women supporting socialism is one more reason women shouldn't vote.

Are you implying that they have a secret inner desire to be bent over a table like a cheap Moscow whore?
I can see that if they get their way.

 

[blackhawk]

I will submit the people who believe socialism is good form government have never lived in a truly socialist country. If one truly believes socialism is good thing why not simply move to such a country instead of tying to transform this country into one that would be a much quicker and easier solution for them to get the kind of life they want.

Fine with calling trump out on his BS. It should be done whenever he lies which is all the time. But it should also be done honestly and without the hyperbole which often accompanies it. There also shouldn’t be blind obstruction toward everything and anything that might be a win for trump. That’s what the Reps did to Obama and that’s what the dems are doing to trump. If this cycle continues then nothing is ever going to get done.

A country where 3 people have more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population is not the answer, either. The inequitable distribution of wealth between rich and poor in this country is the greatest its been since the Great Depression. Republicans are satisfied with this. Democrats are not.

It does seem that way what so many fail to realize anymore is that the more power you give the government the more it wants and when it gets it rarely if ever gives it up willingly.

First off they can’t impeach him... second don’t you think it’s a more powerful and healthy statement for him to be kicked out of office by the American people in an election and not by the opposition party? Impeachment makes him a martyr and ensures a political civil war beyond what we’ve ever seen. Why would you want that?

They will.

For example as an independent who is not a great fan of the Republican Party for many reasons, I can say with all confidence that I am distinctly anti-Democratic Party. It has in two decades become complete anathema to the United States.

Where is Father Merrin when you need him?

I choose the American side.

As a conservative I'm not a fan of the Rep party, the choice is imbecilic Rep's or traitor illegals ally baby aborting Dem's. I'll just stick with Trump at least he's not a bought and aid for party hack.

How can you claim republicans are using socialism as a scare tactic when you offer evidence that it is a real issue that should be addressed?

If one truly believes socialism is good thing why not simply move to such a country instead of tying to transform this country into one that would be a much quicker and easier solution for them to get the kind of life they want.

A country where 3 people have more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population is not the answer, either. The inequitable distribution of wealth between rich and poor in this country is the greatest its been since the Great Depression. Republicans are satisfied with this. Democrats are not.

No what Republiicans are not satisfied with is letting the government have control over the majority of their lives which seems to be something Democrats crave. History has shown that never works out well for the people and usually ends in a violent uprising.
