Are These Really Democratic Party Positioins?

[LowDown]

The Green New Deal, which means eliminating carbon fuels in 10 years, eliminating air travel, guaranteed employment, single payer health care, rebuilding all existing buildings in the US, free college education. None of this has majority support.

Reparations for descendants of slaves. This has never had majority support.

Abortion on demand through 9 months of gestation. Abortion in the first trimester has majority support. Only a tiny percentage of people support abortion at term.

But all the presidential hopefuls seem to be on board with this stuff.

You've never in your life had a truly accurate picture of our positions.

Does it bother you that you have to lie in order to attack others positions? Or have you just resigned yourself to that fact and accepted it?

I was asking. Do you know the answer?

I got those positions from the Washington Post, so if they are not accurate someone needs to let them know.

Neither have any Democrats.

Repeat what I posted when people started hyperventilating over the Green New Deal: I went back and looked at FDR’s National Recovery Administration. It was, like the GND, a list of aspirations, some practical, some not. The whole thing was declared unconstitutional, as I imagine the GND would be if passed. Nevertheless, some of its proposed programs continued and are part of our lives, as I presume they would with this proposal.

You are free to continue to make fun, however. It will serve to make its many proponents sharpen and focus their ideas. Thus the essential utility of conservatives is demonstrated.

The president didn't get majority support either.

They aren't Democratic party positions and aren't in the green new deal or any other legislation I've seen or heard about. I sincerely doubt the washington post would ever say they are either, unless you are only referencing some random opinion piece that mentions it.

You know full well that democrats have never advocated or even sponsored legislation calling for the eradication of all air travel, for example. Are you unaware that everybody knows how dishonest you are being?

That's in the Green New Deal*, which the presidential hopefuls have endorsed.

I gather you're running away from that position, which is a good thing, IMHO.

* As stated in AOC's resolution:

...overhauling transportation systems in
the United States to remove pollution and
greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation
sector as much as is technologically feasible,
including through investment in—
(i) zero-emission vehicle infrastructure
and manufacturing;
(ii) clean, affordable, and accessible
public transit; and
(iii) high-speed rail;

So, unless you envision a zero emissions jet engine I think it's reasonable to conclude that this means no air travel.

No.

No more than embryonic personhood or legislating the laws in Leviticus is for Republicans. Some nuts might support things as you wrote them - but those are fringe positions.

Neither did Bill Clinton. Your point?

 

[Acadia]

Yes, these are positions that the Democrat party is embracing and even running on for 2020. Every sane American is appalled and sickened.
All you need know is that Democrats refused to vote for saving a child after it's born. That's called infanticide.

Why are you still lying about this? You think "as much as technologically feasible" means "get rid of all air planes"? A while ago you claimed that WAPO is where you got this info. Are you sure about that?

What a dishonest and crappy way of discussing politics. You lie about what people believe and what is in legislation, then you attack those lies. Why can't you attack what's actually in the legislation? Are you capable of doing that?

 

[trixare4kids]

And yet, you support Trump.

So what if he supports the POTUS. Oh the humanity!

 

[Finch]

The POTUS is a garbage of a human being and even worst President.

Planned Parenthood Opens $8 Billion Abortionplex

TOPEKA, KS—Planned Parenthood announced Tuesday the grand opening of its long-planned $8 billion Abortionplex, a sprawling abortion facility that will allow the organization to terminate unborn lives with an efficiency never before thought possible.

"Although we've traditionally dedicated 97 percent of our resources to other important services such as contraception distribution, cancer screening, and STD testing, this new complex allows us to devote our full attention to what has always been our true passion: abortion," said Richards, standing under a banner emblazoned with Planned Parenthood's new slogan, "No Life Is Sacred." "And since Congress voted to retain our federal funding, it's going to be that much easier for us to maximize the number of tiny, beating hearts we stop every day."

"The Abortionplex's high-tech machinery is capable of terminating one pregnancy every three seconds," Richards added. "That's almost a million abortions every month. We're so thrilled!"​

So what else is new with the echo chamber?

 

[Carjosse]

I am pointing out the same people that say a policy shouldn't be implemented because it does not have majority public support are the same people to defend electing presidents with less than majority support.

Do you interpret this as "ban air travel in ten years regardless of outcome?"

Yeah, so what if he supports a blowhard whose obsessed with sucking up to brutal dictators, had attacked POWs(amongst many others) is obsessed with a joke which will not make America even remotely safer and is all around a complete moron?

It's really sad that you think this is really the case.

Well, democracy is different that a Representative Republic.
