BECAUSE of its DIVERSITY, The Democratic electorate is now a more powerful force

For starters Democrats called GWB, McCain and Romney racist so you're going to call that to whomever the party nominates. Niki Haley is going to be our next nominee, a woman of color. And guno has already called her a sellout and fake Indian (whatever the Indian equivalent to Uncle Tom is). It doesn't matter who the candidate is or their background, that's how Democrats will attack them. It is what it is.

That's called politics and everyone approaches it differently.

Personally, I don't think GWB, Romney, or McCain were/are racist. Africans call George Bush Africa's best friend .. so do I. But that's just me.

I would suggest my brother that it isn't the Democratic Party who is at risk here. It's the Republican Party.

Shouldn't your focus be on your own party?
 
There is no room in the U.S. for a competitive Austrian school of economics, lassaize-faire economics political party.

Even the GOP knows this. There is simply not a constituency for a tax cuts for the rich and deregulation of Wall Street Banks philosophy of ideas. You could metaphorically fit the number of people who are passionate about those issues into a phone both.

The modern Republican party has always won by appealing to nationalism, isolationism, xenophobia, and racism. I see no evidence of that changing.

The GOP success in the 1920s was almost certainly predicated on a backlash against internationalism and our involvement in European wars.

Nixon won by reminding middle America of that the dirty hippies were undermining "law and order". He also attracted the Dixiecrats who were disgusted with LBJ's embrace of civil right.

Reagan stoked the fires of racial resentment by yoking it up about "welfare queens" and embracing the confederacy.

Trump is really just the natural culmination over 60 years of the GOP's drift and embrace of white nationalism, xenophobia, racial resentment, and rightwing populism.

The 1970's showed us the failure of Keynesian. Democrats didn't the white house again until Bill Clinton and the new Democratic way. Then keynesian obama comes back into office and economic growth stalled. You don't have an argument for keynesian economics.

When was the last time democrats on this board actually had a discussion about the Democratic Party and the direction it is going? The answer is never as y'all talk only about the Republican Party. I've seen the calls for years that the Republican Party is dead. Well they still control quite a bit for a dead party.

(as an aside I visited the GWB Presidential Library for the second time yesterday as we're in Dallas visiting the in-laws. There's a section of it dedicated to the aids donation to Africa. It's pretty moving and worth viewing if you are ever in Dallas)

WHY SOCIALISM?
By Albert Einstein
 
TOP OF THE LIST.

They fear the non-white and women vote .. as they should.

I don't disagree, but once elected into office they MUST be leaned upon by the SAME voters. Sorry folks, in restaurants and elevators and whatnot, until you/they actually grasp wtf you are there to do. The power structure leans on them from the opposite direction and they are all creatures of the path of least resistance.

WHY SOCIALISM?
By Albert Einstein

Capitalism is a euro colonial economic system paradigm predicated upon wealth extraction, concentration, and redistribution out of society and the natural world into the coffers of hoarders. If we were talking about 50 year old news papers, dead cats, and 30 year old half eaten fast food meals stashed under the couch instead of cash we could all recognize the pathology.
 
I watched you for years rail againt Obama and Obamacare. Once you became a Democrat a switch went off within you and you now love all that Obama did.

Bernie is popular with a certain white young college subset of the country. You're a socialist and don't even like the guy. Bernie is not the future.

Again, you don't get it .. which is why I see no understanding in republicans.

Like many on the left, I knew that more was possible. Obamacare fell short of that .. and was open to the same challenges that republicans jumped into to attack it.

Obamacare was essentially written by the Heritage Foundation to avoid support Medicare for All. It became Romneycare .. which became Obamacare. Obamacare is better than nothing, but no doubt that it will morph into something much closer to Medicare for All.

Richard Nixon's healthcare plan in 1976 was more progressive than Romneycare or Obamacare.

Bernie Sanders is the most popular politician in America period and has been so for several years.

You should get your compass fixed because you're dreaming if you think I "love all Obama did."

Stop making shit up.

WHY SOCIALISM?
By Albert Einstein

your party may increase


My party is the strength the people enjoy in this nation right now


I love capitalism and will defend nit until I die ( just like the founders )


If you and me live long enough ( and the republican party dies) my views may be the farthest right of the nation some day.



Wow what a wonderful America that would make us


Imagine two major parties trying to out perform the other with GREAT ideas all based in cold hard facts.


we would be kicking the worlds ass and inspiring all nations to our system

Medicare for All

Love all that Obama did was very poor phrasing on my part. You railed on the economy under obama and Obamacare and now you support the obama economy and rhetorically Obamacare.

My compass is pretty good. There are many who were radical in the '60's that today are the old white people folks want to die. Same thing will happen to some of these socialist youth. We change when we get older.

That is my party
'

get the fuck done for people WHAT you CAN get DONE.


our system was designed to be a process of compromise



both you sides of me need to face that fact


we do the possible



by negociating


not killing each other

Dude, I'm not sure you're able to have an honest conversation without relying on emotional nonsense.

First, I talk about the internal workings and disagreements within party often .. and I talk about my party FAR MORE THAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOURS. :0) Get real

Secondly, how many republicans on this board do you see dissecting and acknowledging the failures within your party? How about NONE .. INCLUDING YOU.

AS you again demonstrate here, you'd much rather look out the window for what's wrong with liberals and democrats then step to the mirror and take a look at your own.

Introspective .. it ain't (eb) easy ... for some.

I'm plenty aware of what's wrong with the Republican Party. Exhibit A being I didn't vote for our presidential candidate. I started multiple threads during the primary about why I don't support Trump and why he's not a republican.

At this point in time I barely follow what he does.

You can see all the issues I discuss and threads I start that have more to do than just democrats and republicans because there is a lot more to politics than just political parties.

Your founders gave the "right" to vote to white male land holding members of the aristocracy alone, with a senate appointed by the aristocracy.

To insanely continue to assert that "capitalism" is not impacted by a tyrannical political system is folly. Capitalism has always existed to economically support a ruling colonial extraction aristocracy; that's the point. And that's why we have long entrenched sacrifice zones in america itself, in addition to what we do across the globe chasing markets expansion. Furthermore what you wish to label capitalism now has been divorced from production of goods and services. American capitalism is nothing other than global speculation now. Never been all the big on capital punishment, but I would consider returning to the practice of hanging speculators.
