Ok. So you’ve spent a lot of time focusing on why you hate Democrats
If Democrats were as enlightened as they claim to be, they wouldn’t attempt to marginalize the other side,
Wrong! Try again! I was saying that both conservative and liberals are necessary! And when one group tries to dominate the other as has happened recently, there’s natural pushback and strife!

Do you actually live on the same planet as I do? You haven't ever seen fox news, listened to am radio, read breitbart, browsed the right wing blogsphere, or seen any of tpb/cic posts somehow? Marginalization of the left has been a very well financed and well organized campaign going on for 50 years that is more and more successful.
It all comes down to social tendency. Democrats tend to be more trusting of society in general and want to be involved with forming a stronger and more pervasive social structure. This is fine, but doesn’t account for the fact that a good percentage of people are independent minded and want to do things by and for themselves. Both sorts of people are both useful and necessary to make civilization work. Neither side should be marginalized or lose rights or opportunities or they become resentful. When one side becomes so arrogant that they try to completely disenfranchise and negate the other side, this sets society as a whole up for dysfunction and civil strife. That is exactly what’s been happening in america for the past couple decades, however, and it boils down to a simple difference in attitudes.

But how on Earth is the answer simply “so we blindly vote and support Republican rule!”

Also, the gov is great at safety nets. Unless we want to let people die in the streets or eat cat food in old age, we need gov programs.
I think that the real breakdown of whether you are Dem or Republican these days is if you are a conservative Christian. If you are, then the ongoing culture war between Christian conservatives and the rest of society is going to keep you voting for Republicans even if the vessel is Trump.
That's the problem, we DON'T need safety nets, that just makes people lazy and entitled. We need programs that teach people to be self suffcient and to be responsible for themselves. Unfortunately, Dems don't believe in Personal Responsibility and like pandering to the welfare class for votes.
Good post in general. Very thoughtful
10,000 scientists rehashing the same tired ideas for crumbs of new applications can’t compare to ten scientists with revolutionary ideas.

Yes, that worked so well in 1930.
Are there more or less now than in 1930?
Jan: If there was Russian Collusion, Bad
April: We're gonna find out so much about Trump's Collusion with Russia
July: Any minute now Mueller's gonna bust Trump!
Sep: Dotard's Russian Collusion must be punished, in the name of the Rule of Law!
Oct: Collusion with Russia isn't such a big deal. Let's move on!
Just curious--who says collusion with Russia isn't such a big deal? I haven't seen anyone say that.

Democrats - when they are pressed on the Obama/Clinton Uranium dealings, Podesta's contracts representing Russian interests, and Hillary Clinton and DNC "colluding" with Russian operatives with the Fusion GPS dossier.
Really, what has your hero, that guy, Rachel Maddow been spewing lately. Is he still going on night after night about Russian collusion?
I keep hearing about CA gov workers being overpaid. Why don't more people go for those jobs? Why isn't the free market working?

Just get back to owners vs workers and you'll do fine.
People don't understand the damage they have done byinstalling a Republican governmentrelentless identity politics but they soon will.
There's also Podesta's apparent voting of shares in a Company heavily involved in Russian Investment that he supposedly recused himself from, that was supposed to be under control of his daughter in an LLC. This was in his P@ssword protected Email.
And his restatement of the Ukrainian Activist's payments to the Podesta Group, the same exact organization that is accused of 'being Russian' and paying Manafort. Apparently the Friends of Ukraine or whatever it was called was only Russian controlled when it paid Manafort, not when it paid Podesta Group. In fact I think Manafort was subcontracted by Podesta Group to peddle influence for the Ukranian client.
I agree with @Quigley
The left had some good points, but has simply gone too far. They need to start accommodating instead of just demonizing.
But now it's a religion with them. Very disappointing. Democrats offer nothing but hate now.
Chill, think, drop the identity politics shit. Get back to simply being on the side of all working people without dividing them. Otherwise you lose, and the Republicans will continue to win bigly.
Every npr story about women, gays, blacks, or Hispanics is 10,000 more guaranteed votes for Trump. Just get back to owners vs workers and you'll do fine.
Fixed that for you.
You're welcome.
But exactly how are workers supposed to get the country back
fixing wealth disparity, taxes, regulation, the militarization of police, government surveillance,
Otherwise you lose, and the Republicans will continue to win bigly.rando says
By being united as American citizens and not divided by some arbitrary division.
There are a lot more working class voters than top 1% voters, lol.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee violated campaign finance law by failing to disclose payments for a dossier on Donald Trump, according to a complaint filed Wednesday with...

.america isn't going anywhere.
Look at our resident trumptard libertarian zombies. Regulations bad. Must get rid of regulations. The trumptards breath clean air, drink clean water, eat steak without cow shit in it, don't work 15 hours a day alongside their young children in a firetrap factory with the doors chained shut, don't die of black lung at 40, don't work all day knee deep in toxic chemicals with no protection
Do I agree with SJWs? No, of course not. But it is 1,000,000 times less important to me than fixing wealth disparity, taxes, regulation, the militarization of police, government surveillance, and probably a hundred other issues. I think you used to feel the same way until you fell under the Trump cult.
