Nonsense, Trump implemented economic sanctions on Russia which Biden has already rolled back.
He made sanctions on multiple single people who were proven to have meddled in the election. Kind of expected. He also immediately attempted to roll back sanctions that Obama put in place against Russia for the issue with Ukraine and also the election meddling.

"Gun control" & "Identity rights" are not policies, they are undefined platitudes.
No they aren't. They have had policy inacted across the country. It's now possible for gay people to be married in most states. 14 states still don't allow it. In Montana, you can! So, well done!

Also gun control has been defined multiple times with bills which would introduce common sense laws. They were always shot down by Republicans though. Like did you know that Iowa allows people who are legally or completely bind to buy a gun? I think you can agree that needs a bit of reforming.

Honestly, I'm fairly right leaning when it comes to guns. I enjoy them! If I were to live in the US, I'd potentially feel the need for one. Your kids needing guns to go to school is a badass story. Good for them, seriously! I'm sure they've had EXTENSIVE training, and are reminded multiple times of how to handle their weapons. I'm sure if they come in the house and they don't put the safety on, you get extremly angry at them. I WISH people were as responsible as you are with your weapons. I WISH there was a way to force people to be that responsible.

People love to point to Switzerland as having a perfect balance of gun ownership and low fatality rate. I'm all for it! But they also have to go through training and proper care of the guns. That place is a gun utopia where things work. Whenever I visit the US, I'm always sickened by the gun porn on the highways. Just bilboard after bilboard of gun shops. The amount of money that these shops are raking in at the cost of human suffering is just horrible.

The only problem is, the Republicans need to admit that there is a problem in the first place. Instead, they're doubling-down and saying that things MUST stay the same.

You mean we'll never cross the goal, assuming that goal is to save idiots from inflicting severe disease and/or death on themselves. I guess that's Darwinism for you, though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was wondering about that also. I was thinking that he meant that we wouldn't STOP moving the goalposts. But that wouldn't really make sense, since there really hasn't been an example of that happening.

About 60% of Americans favor abortion being legal in this country.
https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-ta...bortion-should-be-legal-in-all-or-most-cases/

Legal does not represent free reign, tax payer funded, federalized or any of the minutia which is closer represented in the Gallup poll I cited, which asks the question at least 10 different ways.

Republicans have no solutions on healthcare.

Hyperbole much? Nonsense partisan rambling, "Mandate & Fine" is not a healthcare plan either. Everyone supported pre-existing condition protections for the most part.

Republicans consistently try to effectively dismantle social programs like Social Security and Medicare.

More partisan hyperbole, they have never introduced a bill to do away with either. Cutting payroll taxes and letting people opt is not dismantling.
I agree that there are military hawks on both sides, but the only anti-war voices I've heard are from the political left. Trump didn't actually pull is out of conflicts, he escalated pre-existing conflicts, and he was responsible for an increase in negligent behavior that results in more civilian deaths. You don't have to go back very far (the George W. Bush administration) to some of the worst foreign policy that ever existed, and despite some foolish initial votes, Democrats were consistently against the Republican war doctrine when it became clear that the wars were misguided, based on lies, and without an exit strategy. When you look at who voted against military authorization, you will see those votes come from the left. When you look at who ends wars and conflicts, you will see those presidents are Democratic. Those presidents include Obama and Biden.

The image of hippies with peace signs is ingrained in the culture, which was a liberal movement. Liberalism in the modern progressive DNC is dead and their record does not match the nostalgia.

I will be limiting to the major conflicts post WWII.. I don't think anyone really arguing the justification for that anymore.

Jun 50 American enters Korea. - Harry S Truman. DEMOCRAT
Jul 53 America exits Korea. - Dwight Eisenhower Republican* (Dwight was technically independent, Ala Bernie sanders. VP, political allies nomination were GOP)

Aug 64 America enters Vietnam. - Lydon Johnson. DEMOCRAT
Jan 73 America exits Vietnam. - Richard Nixon. REPUBLICAN

HW Bush Operation Desert storm
Clinton Bosnia, Serbia, Haiti
I am going =/= on the score cards here out of fairness and the depth of minutia, to much wiggle room and partisan hyperbole I don't feel like delving in to.

Now the modern conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq I have no affection or defense of George W Bush, but Obama who started a new war in Libya and at various points reauthorized every action HW Bush took and institutes those policies with support from the democratic party.

Trump vehemently opposed the Iraq war & Afghanistan well before he was a candidate. And you can spew all the partisan rhetoric and spin doctoring you want.

Donald Trumps signature is on the Afghanistan and Iraq withdrawal.
https://www.factcheck.org/2016/02/donald-trump-and-the-iraq-war/

When it came to take our troops out of that shit hole and it was on his desk TRUMP signed it, not Obama, not Biden. Biden extended Trumps deadline.

In defense of the GOP they have rejected George W Bush's foreign policy, evident by that wings hatred of Trump and Trumps foreign policy trouncing Jeb Bush despite him being anointed.


Dubya, is not my brand, never has been. Clinton and Bush are more closely aligned than modern Trump-era GOP.

Remember when MSNBC shit canned Olbermann, Donahue & Ventura for not carrying water for Bush's war? I do. That's your democrat party right there. Same party that mocked the Kucinich's, Sanders and Gabbard's.

Yes, classical Liberalism has a strong anti-war vein, that is not represented by the modern Democrat party anywhere in the leadership or by anyone who has ever been put in to power to do something about it.


Even if you were to remove anti-democratic systems like the electoral college, an unrepresentative Senate, etc., California would not "rule over Montana." That's not how a democratic system works. Over 6 million Californians voted for Trump in the 2020 election, and their votes would count in a democratic election too.

We have a Union of states that never agreed to or joined a system of pure democracy and the only places interested in a system like that are population centers on the coast and cry babies who can't shove their wishes down peoples throats who don't want them.

Being a mob does not make you correct or entitled.

What did they lie about? You DO know that vaccines don't make you immune to what you've been vaccinated for, right?

I thought this was sarcasm, but shit. Those who are so defensive of this vaccine and its rollout (a totally new type of vaccine btw, never used en masse before) are blinded by politics/beliefs. Lots of people, who won't be commenting here - I'm usually one of them, know this. I met a lot of people during my time working, mostly liberal because I am an older programmer. What I will talk about is inconsistency, and this has been just that from day one. Most people are very turned off by such things, and lose trust in those who do it. I am by todays definitions a 'conservative' guy - what that means today, depending who you ask, might net dozens of different answers from - 'yatzi, racist, homophobe, gun freak, climate denialists, war mongers'.. endless insults on peoples character you usually know almost nothing about but they are at the very least, "traditional" people. "Conservarive", just like "Liberal", has millions of "slivers" of belief systems, since we are a two party country and essentially forced to vote in a way we agree w/ "more". Lesser of two evils. To me, it means maintaining a way of life I am familiar with (not everything!), but i.e. I am involved in a local Church, I shoot competitively, I do volunteer work, I donate money to humanitarian causes. Would never bring up that latter fact as charity is not something you brag about, but we are in a terrible place where many don't get treated as human beings - and I say this of both sides. I don't believe in everything a 'religious person' believes in. I do think we are warming the planet. I believe in evolution. etc. I am not the only exception.

As someone who's lived through 40+ years of different presidents - and voted both ways, especially locally! - the Overton Window has come so far left it has me at a point where I've almost taken a 'hold the line' type of perspective when I hear of any initiative (or just done behind the scenes w/o asking usually!) to give anyone more power. Which scares me, I usually like to study any proposition before making a decision. This country is far from perfect, but having done a of travel I can honestly say I would not want to live anywhere else. I love this country - even people I disagree with, I realize most of them love it too and even though we disagree, I was once doing the same thing as them when I was younger. I think many - not those screaming outside buildings - are helping people, and do help people via real world actions. Both sides are guilty - online we are e-thugs, aside from those who take politics to the point of highly organized violence (looking at you Antifa - dared to eat dinner outside with my wife in DC and ended up w/ people screaming on megaphones and literally spitting at people for being white - there was no rally nearby, we were alone) and anyone on the right who shows up to counter protest a protest w/ the intention of causing trouble (business owners defending their own property, if cops won't do it, I don't see much other option) but do you really treat real human beings like this? I ran a BBS in middle school, I trolled very hard. I was 11 years old - if you want your opinion, which we all have, to be taken seriously, don't be a dick and at least TRY to be civil with people. I know its hard these days, and I really hope this post doesn't come across like I'm only taking a right-leaning side - which I'm pretty certain based on previous social media interactions, a lot of people will take it as such.

All I'm saying is actions define you as a person, not words. Scientists especially, in high level positions, words matter very much - the CDC's constantly shifting goal posts, Fauci telling people he lied to us about masks early on so the ones that work got in the hands of medical staff first (why not just say this, science should be facts, not lies - even if his intention was good) , inconsistent claims about the vaccine - booster shot, re-infections, online censorship (!!) cheered on by people who cherished this right in the past. "Online fact checkers" - I ask where these people were before 2016? Does that make the entire thing totally bunk, of course not. But consistent messaging from consistent people is vital.

We don't need monitoring / to be told what we are viewing is 'incorrect', sarcasm was dying out before this, and now you risk bans for making jokes? Even if someone is serious, let them speak. I will never condone censoring anyone. Those who may deserve it - remember, they have families, children, they are someones child. It effects innocent people who may be doxed/threatened, or count on that persons paycheck to put food on the table. Many people I knew from vulnerability / exploitation development from the early 2000's who, like myself, couldn't believe something like the Patriot Act got signed to the applause of both sides of the aisle. Now, many are openly pro-censorship and pro FBI/NSA monitoring. I'm sorry for the long post and I am sorry if I am being so one sided, I honestly love anyone until they give me reason not to. I wish more people could strive for understanding, not blanket labels, we need to put fires out not pour gas on existing ones or start new ones. I wish you all happiness, and success in life. God bless.

"The Overton Window has moved so far left that this country has never had and still doesn't have a leftist political party."

Insults, how productive. You can blame 2 party system, which I went into detail about, as to why your "not left enough" utopia party doesn't exist. Why are Democrats the party of taking money from big corporations now?

Most public conservatives now embrace trans, gay.. Tomi Lahren etc. I will always treat people with respect but indoctrination is a major problem. I however don't want gay marriage in my Church. I'm not gay, and what we talk about is generally incompatible w/ modern gay/trans thought. I also don't want racist ideaology like CRT to be taught to kids - thankfully mine are grown. Even when I was in college - I knew if I wrote about certain things, I'd receive lavish praise vs. being berated by people like you. In a Maryland public University, in the 90s. Some kids of certain appearance didn't come to class, ever - and were always in the follow up classes. Professors were afraid of lawsuits - it's way beyond that now - simple disagreement w/ a teacher in class gets you removed/banned from the college now.

Slash on, brave online anime warrior. You can have the last word, naturally.

Both parties have always taken money from corporations. sometimes different corporations, sometimes the same ones. Both parties are capitalist parties.

Correction: most conservatives embrace trans and gay people in public*, and hold very hateful views of them in private.

Calling CRT "racist" is just reactionary bullshit. It's a more complete teaching of America's history, that's all.

Ohh yeah I totally agree, in my life as a white male I've been discriminated against so many times, especially by the police.

Question: why is there still mask mandates? especially on planes? if you wanted the vaccine then you've gotten it by now. The vaccinated are assessing their own risks and willing to take the potential consequences associated with said analysis. We don't need Places like LA County serving as big brother when it comes to masks to protect the unvaccinated. Nor should the fed be regulating airports. Virus isn't going to all of a sudden spread just because I enter an airport.

Last word, not last turd. With views like yours, that GIF will be you, forever. Enjoy it.

Learn about history and grow up. Your blanket assumptions and lack of historical knowledge present a white person with little to no knowledge of fellow intelligent humans, African Americans, showing you as a very confused racist. Talk to some black people - you very likely don't know any in real life, not people you actually are friends with at least.. and ask them what they think of CRT.

Captain know it all knows nothing. You'll reply. Internet anime warrior.

Several reasons. They love virtue signaling, so the mask is a sign they're against the.. racist neo-nazis that are all over. It hides their face too so they can yell things at people and physically attack those who disagree with them like, actual nazis. Not in my current state, but where it's tolerated. If I could just have ONE day w/o seeing a white guy w/ a swastika on his forehead.. one day! A man can dream.

The vaccine has shown it to be, well, not a vaccine. It is and isn't at the same time. Which is why I'm waiting, like you. 99.8+% survival chance too make this comparison to Polio just.. awful for anyone who knew someone stricken by Polio.

Constantly shifting standards / mental gymnastics, basically.

Now for the non-delusional answer: it's because planes have sealed cabins, the air is recycled. Unless 100% of passengers are vaccinated, the odds of catching COVID on a plane go way up.

"drooool now for the non-brain delusion answer from self-hating white guy whos super not racist! everyone else is but me!"

N-95 mask. Her point was- they are ''vaccinated" - shouldn't they be fine? I've had covid, at my age and in good health, I was real tired for 2 days. Then I felt fine. everyones different, and for that largely obese population of 1%, people can wear a mask on the flight, on top of their vaccine. Have standards changed? You get a vaccine and its verstanden that you are getting a mild dose of it - simply put - to produce anti-bodies naturally. Natures way. Vaccines for covid, so far, actually send code to the RNA (J&J aside, but thats pulled now bc of sides..) telling it how to fight it - again in simple terms. This is playing God almost, we are ignorant to think we can produce something as well as the human body can naturally.

Nah I'm not completely self-unaware like you, I've said and done racist things in my life. Part of growing up is owning up to your mistakes and learning from them, which is why it's so sad that many conservatives have an overactive fear response that retards that mental and emotional growth.

N-95 mask.
Yes that works well, but any mask is better than none in an enclosed space with recycled air.

I also was racist for a period of life, 9th grade - went to all black school. Had to friend w/ people I first learned the concept of skin color hate. You edit my quotes peacemeal, like most your type do, to reduce the effectiveness of prior sentences / words / context. So this will likely just be me quoted saying "I was racist for a period", then you can stretch the timeline out of 9th grade and characterize what I said differently. I got picked on by more White kids at a ~50% black school to start with, so my logic was gone off the bat.

We were taught at my age, that it didn't matter. We treat each other the same - and help those in need. Our government social programs are vast. History needs a rewrite? Is that so? Did you know history goes far beyond when races even met, and early interactions were always bad. Slavery and Prostitution are two of the oldest and dirtiest "jobs" for a long time. You think slavery was just the transatlantic slave trade? Do you know how many people actually owned slaves compared to the rich? That ~half of the slave boats were owned by British companies, the Africans were happy to sell their own people off, they were going to be slaves in Africa said the Kings who got rich doing this to their own people. The Arab slave trade just ended in 1990. Last country to end it, I think it was 1970 the second last.

You think Black people don't have affirmative action? They are 13% and commit about 55% of all homicide - really, that is 6% since it's most all men. Right after the civil rights act was enacted, the number of kids growing outside of fatherless homes shot up over 70%. There are factors in the black community, that people like you, will never be honest enough w/ someone to talk about because you think they will be offended, are uneducated. I have some of the best personal conversations with my brothers and they are not as dumb as you think. Generations of welfare has hurt many families really bad, and they are in a bad way most of the time. It's not your fault and doing your generations common reverse - racism segregation graduations is not fucking cool at all.

There's a youtube video by Denzel Washington - why only 3% of people are super successful. You should watch it. Stop hating yourself and thinking every white person before you was some 'absent brain'ed fool', as you contain all the wisdom of your.. let me guess many years, and are here to imbue us. You're a joke man.

Yeah...modern conservatives don't believe in any of this. So you probably should've switched affiliations or gone independent some time ago.

History needs a rewrite? Is that so?
History does not need a re-write, history needs to be uncensored and taught in its entirety. Lies of omission are still lies.

You think Black people don't have affirmative action? They are 13% and commit about 55% of all homicide - really, that is 6% since it's most all men.
"You think black people don't have affirmative action? Look at all the crimes borne primarily of poverty and desperation that they're arrested for." Not sure if I'm supposed to respond to that or if it was just meant to help prove my point.

Right after the civil rights act was enacted, the number of kids growing outside of fatherless homes shot up over 70%.
You know what they say: the North won the Civil War, but the South won reconstruction. A lot of effort went into keeping African-Americans in impoverished communities over the decades. Reagan was one of the worst in that regard.

We're getting wildly off-topic, and it's largely my fault, so I will just say that my original point was that Republicans and Republican positions are unpopular in this country, and the fact that you're trying to gaslight us into believing Republicans hold Democratic positions, instead of defending Republicans positions, is telling. We just had a Republican president, for example, who said his court appointments were with the explicit purpose of overturning Roe v. Wade.

If you want to continue having a conversation about any or all of these topics, do it over a private message, or tag me in an on-topic thread.

I sure as hell will never argue that Republicans hold Democrat positions and I'm unapologetic about it. Look at the places Democrats run - states throw money into cities with no results, you have all the complaints and no answers but yelling at your opposition and pretending you aren't turning into a 1984 style Totalitarian style platform. Conservatives damn well have moved left, so have Democrats and this is a matter of fact. Both Obama and Clinton were against gay marriage in 2008.

I was still voting Democrat when he ran the first time. Things changed slowly. Zoom to now, people change gender several times a day, have pro-nouns (and you better get them right!!), got a fuckin' deer in charge of Twitch.tv moderation - do you think gaming sites reflect politics as a whole? I come here mostly for my son,I had a nintendo and will play now and then but I'm about to retire and work a lot. Democrats just talk about racism all day - mostly white people, which is why you've seen losses in minority voting groups in past elections. "Equity of outcome". This is anti-evolution and silly. People are not going to end up in the same places and 'making sure of this' is why we are not even top 20 in the world in Math. China's workers aren't on Twitter asking to be called a Ram or Deer, Steer, I mean this is like a circus come to life. Estranged minority voters will keep spiking and 2020 would have been a loss (generally if you lose even 1% of black vote it's game over) if not for Trump's big mouth on Twitter and the emasculation of men in schools.

You'll be in for a surprise in 2022 if you think your party has things we need to advertise as agreeing with, many of you are openly hateful of the country, and young people usually don't vote in large numbers unless a ballot is mailed to them (I smoked pot in college too - it happens). You're telling black people they are too dumb to have ID, when these voter acts have 80% approval in the cities. My friend texts me what seems like every day joking about being stuck at check out or somewhere w/ a computer and needing my white skillz to bail him out. They make fun of you guys.

Emulate or try to act like we agree with your "party". Naahhhh.
