Why Obama and the New Left was and IS bad for America


I guess I'm confused on what your point is. Major population centers are blue and the heartland is mostly red. Republicans frame cities as being filled with corrupt politicians and criminal minorities and Democrats frame the heartland as being uneducated and racist.

A lot of people disagree, but the truth is Republicans have no choice. The demographics are against them. They will either need to become even more liberal or play into what won Trump's election in 2016. Trump's retreat to a more tame and moderate politic this election has been a catastrophic failure. He calls Obama a "Good man" while Obama mocks his dick size at the DNC. Dude is cooked.

Yeah, but that's not a real demographic. Class warfare rhetoric doesn't work in American politics because the pioneer spirit is so deeply ingrained into the fabric of our culture. It's difficult to talk to a Republican about billionaires without them just thinking you sound like a resentful bitch.

We are a collective of states and social services are paid out directly and through grants to the states by the feds. Social Security, medicare, military equipment, highway maintenance, building construction, research, education, infrastructures, etc.

Healthcare and education should be expanded on, and it would save money to switch to medicare for all instead of paying individually to states to cover welfare issued medicare. It would cost the government less money to do this because of the collective aspect and it would give those not on medicare cheaper monthly insurance costs.
 
OP: "We're not a cult you are!"
 
So, there were no lockdowns until after trump left office in late January 2021? Are you sure about that?

And trump had nothing to do with the development of the life-saving vaccines? THAT's the road you're willing to do down?

Face-mask-wearing was unheard of until after late January 2021? That's your schtick?

So, you think those who live on tips should be taxed on them? Or not? Good idea, or bad idea?

You mean the platform that Kamala tried to steal from Trump?
 
Social security and Medicare have been paid for years by citizens and Camela wants illegals to have that for free. Medicare is really socialized medicine anyway. We are founded on Capitalism. Schooling taxes by the feds is OK, nut NOT public schools which is a socialist setup.

That's why Kamala must lose. Marxism and socialism haven't worked anywhere.
 
Trump did NOT mandate them, did he? Your dictator did.

Psst…there are already socialistic aspects of American society. As well as practically every other civilized country on the planet. Hate to break it to ya.

Do you think our country is the same as it was in 1783? We have went through a civil war to free black people from slavery. The vote for women. Integration of the military. The civil rights act so blacks could vote too. Unions. And Mexican Americans can now eat in Chick-fil-A. Where have you been?
 
How did they force him out? No one seems to be able to answer this. It gets mentioned a lot, but there is no mechanism where they could have forced him out. What was already happening was donors were shifting campaign donations to Democratic candidates in down ballot elections, so the money was going to dry up. Biden could have doubled down and not gone anywhere in spite of the party leadership.
 
President Biden did what he thought was best for the country. When did Trump ever do anything for our country that was not for himself.
