    Reparations don't have to be in the form of just money they can be in the form of EQUALITY!

    Being free to walk down the street while Black is a start.

    Equality of opportunity is the goal, not equality of outcome. Equality of outcome results in everyone being equally poor. As in Venezuela (except the Socialist leaders, they appear to be doing well).

    Warren did not say she was pro reparations. Only that due to all the conversation going on, it is time to have a serious discussion about it. Reparations are far too complicated to settle. I don't think it is possible. But talking about it is reasonable.

    Talking about it is moronic.

    That's a valid point.

    I agree.

    The Jews got reparations and we send billions to Israel. Why not help Black Americans establish the equality they deserve?

    They got them from Germans who enslaved them and murdered them by the millions.

    America paid dearly to end slavery giving up 620,000 lives and the costs of rebuilding an entire nation. The debt was paid a very long time ago.

    We elected a black President with an Islamic name only a few short years ago. The notion that racism is prevalent and still no better than in 1865 is asinine, a lie and lacks even the most basic common sense.

    Warren supports a study on reparations and elimination of the electoral college

    Warren first voiced support for reparations last month, becoming one of three 2020 Democratic candidates to do so.

    https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-...319-story.html

    Let there be no doubt; this is a moronic platform and will do NOTHING to better the situation many black communities are facing. This is an effort to pander to an electorate Warren views as idiots.

    She really thinks that blacks should remain on their Democratically controlled plantations and be happy for the crumbs the Party of the Jackass is willing to throw them. What the black community really needs is a huge blast of cold water and the truth: you cannot expect better if you ignore single parent teen pregnancies, drugs and low graduation rates.

    She bloviates on......


    Warren also came out in favor of eliminating of the electoral college, the most pointed instance of her opposition to the polarizing mechanism the nation uses to elect its presidents.

    She has been critical of the electoral college in the past, saying last year that Trump’s 2016 victory — despite Democrat Hillary Clinton’s winning 3 million more total votes — is “not exactly the sign of a healthy democracy.”


    This illustrates the glaring ignorance that liberals like Warren have of our Constitutional Republic and why we have an electoral college. But Fascistic ingrates like Warren don't care about mundane things like States rights. Instead, they know that with a popular vote, they would have a strangle hold on the Presidency for a millennia.

    She, and many Fascistic liberals like her, would be fine with a few populous blue states filled with dependent wards dictating to the rest of the country who would be President. It most certainly would make campaigning simpler and cheaper. Heck, Republicans wouldn't even need to try!

    Warren is representative of just how the Democratic Party of the Jackass is desirous of turning this once great nation into a Fascist, one party third world shit hole.

    We, the people, should send a resounding message to the Democratic Party of the Jackass in 2020:
    NO THANK YOU!
    I think we should do an electoral college 2.0. First off, replace all those electors with just points. No need to worry if an elector is going to do his own thing anymore. Second, distribute the electoral points of each state proportional to the percent of the vote won in that state. This will encourage candidates to campaign in non-swing states rather than completely focusing on only a few states.

    I don't know about the first point but definitely approve of the second.

    No, it doesn't work for Senators. Originally, Senators were elected by State assemblies and we should go back to that. The majority of U.S. citizens are banned from voting for individual senators. If, as you claim, you don't believe in States rights or representation, ... then you should be consistent and true to your principles ... and call for the abolishing of the Senate.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Just as long as black Americans pay me for my ancestors who fought in the civil war to free them. Fair is fair, right?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
