A Challenge to the Left

[NiftyNiblick]

Neither Republicans nor Democrats have any balls. That's why they're content to be fenced in. Both are afraid of actual thought.

This is nonsense. Unlike mnost Independents, the major parties actually stand for something.

The Republican Party stands for every man for himself, theocracy, and freedom from social responsibility.

The Democratic Party stands for a more comprehensive public sector, a more regulated private sector, purely secular government, and a reliable social safety net.

Many Independents stand for not having to understand political theory at all. Bernie is an exception. He's an Independent with issues against the Democratic cowardice to stray from moderation, not true Democratic progressive liberal theory.

Both parties have fenced in areas that they 'stand' for. Neither can tolerate any thought that reaches outside of their little corral. Both promote having a blind hard of followers. Which is the antithesis of what the Founders envisioned.

The "founders" have been dead for an awfully long time. Nobody interested in actually getting anything useful done worries too much about the founders.

Tolerating incoherent and uninformed thought while supporting totally incompatible ideas simultaneously is the position of most American "independents."

I recently heard one not terribly bright independent say, "I vote for the man (hopefully she meant man or woman), not the party."

Well, first of all, the man or woman's personality is less than irrelevant. Only the POLICY POSITIONS matter.
Second, this person had no substantial clue about either Democratic or Republican policy positions.

Sadly, it's an indictment of having universal suffrage in a nation that doesn't support widespread education..

The fact that Trump was elected to any office higher than the proverbial dog catcher is an indictment of our education system.

FOX was founded as an organ for the republicans. You are making an ass out of yourself.

Actually Fox was founded as a voice for conservatism in a nation where leftist propaganda in our schools and media had completely captured the TV market place. That & the FOX genius of hiring all of those FOXIE girls is why Fox is the #1 cable news network.

Opinions are like assholes, everybody is entitled to at least one.

The proposal was trolling. So all I can do is laugh.

The proposal was and is a genuine thoughtful recommendation aimed at informing the uninformed, the CNN & MSNBC brainwashed pawns & hysterical Trump haters & lost souls still in closets with crayons and coloring books mentally destroyed by Hillary's Electoral College trouncing! Watch the truth! The truth shall set ye free!!!!!

Studies have shown that people who watch Fox exclusively know less about politics than people who watch no news.

I'll wait for your posting of alleged "studies,"

Robo is eating up propaganda and disinformation and touting it as fact.

I'll patiently wait for your postings of that "propaganda" and your rebuttal of it. I'll understand if you don't!

Some people are more susceptible to propaganda than others. Fox viewers are the most susceptible.

Some people are "more susceptible" to posting unfounded bullshit and you are one of em!

[Robo]

Independents have no balls. That's why they can be comfortable straddling a fence.

Folks who need political parties to think for them are politically lazy drones & pawns who need a Mommy government to wipe their shitty asses for em.

As for Fox News, one literally hemorrhages IQ points by watching it.

Because? Evidence please! Unfounded accusations are a dime a dozen, just like the mindless that rely on them!

[Robo]

Actually, it's disabled on my cable box.

And you accuse others of having no balls? Typical leftist!

[Robo]

Rational thought.

"Rational rjhenn" is an oxymoron!

[MAGA MAN]

"Rational rjhenn" is an oxymoron!

More like 'democrat party mantra spewing' rjhenn. lol

This is nonsense. Unlike mnost Independents, the major parties actually stand for something.

And every independent knows the two duopoly major parties “STAND FOR” vote buying, bribery, collectively screening out third parties with their combined ballot access laws & the national debate system & ownership of national media,, covering up for their sexual perverts with a pay off congressional slush fund, wasting truck loads of taxpayer money on outrageous & stupid national bankrupting & unneeded items & unconstitutional socialist & corporate welfare programs to bribe the vote and bribe campaign donations from their corporate lobbyist sponsors, getting wealthy from their lifetime political positions from under the table deals with corporate lobbyist and insider information that Martha Stewart went to jail for, they stand for international military and political intervention, an American world police force, an unconstitutional Drug War, Immigration chaos, And they stand for not having ever to work a real job but instead suck on the government tit till death do they depart!

Many Independents stand for not having to understand political theory at all. Bernie is an exception. He's an Independent with issues against the Democratic cowardice to stray from moderation, not true Democratic progressive liberal theory.

Bernie is a neo-communist and all progressivism is neo-communism pretending it isn’t communism!

“Useful” Such as? Our founders were brilliant beyond any political hack alive today. They gave us the blueprint for more perfect governance & most every problem we have today is because we violate our own guarantee of more perfect governance, our Constitution.

Tolerating incoherent and uninformed thought while supporting totally incompatible ideas simultaneously is the position of most American "independents."

Accusations are a dime a dozen, be specific! Any half assed nitwit with a keyboard can make evidence-devoid accusations!

Only the POLICY POSITIONS matter.

Which “policy positions” & in which way do they matter?”

Sadly, it's an indictment of having universal suffrage in a nation that doesn't support widespread education..

Public education is a law of the land. Maybe the governors should mandate public education to teach the Constitution with special attention to the Bill Of Rights, huh?

The fact that you're a brainwashed leftist Trump hater is an indictment of your sanity! You can't even post a rational reasoning underlying it.
