Progressive Ideology

[holmes435]

The republicans would just need to hand out weed, lemon grass smoothies, heroin or methadone, and then just keep moving the handout zone further and further away from the city. Place would me cleared out in under 48 hours.

All joking aside, opioid, meth use, tobacco use and youth binge drinking is higher per capita in rural areas vs big cities. I lived in Kentucky for a while and it was crazy hearing the stories about small town drug use. They pick up drugs earlier in life as well.

It ain't Mayberry...

Unreal video, quite revealing of what Democrats ultimately lead their voters to.

A woman in a 'defund the police rally' stabs a fellow protester for reasons unknown; the dude ends up embracing her with blood pouring out of his chest; the woman breaks down like a mental patient, and the icing on the cake: the protesters tell each other to 'call the police'.

You literally can not make this stuff up. Democrats are your foulest nether regions, the tp left in your cheeks, the lint in your belly. Vote for them and destroy what you love about this country.

Lets see how our libs react to this.

Maybe afan can find a way to blame republicans.

Nope. I'm done trying to get you guys to see the opportunity your party has to actually offer solutions in these cities, and govern.

The reality is, you guys don't have the slightest idea as to how to fix these problems, and neither do the Republicans leaders you all worship.

So please, by all means, keep telling us that the libs are bad. It's revelatory stuff. Yep. They're bad. Anything else?

He's not done telling us anything.

What's so hard understanding when we say stop hysterically buying into the DNC narrative that all police are corrupt and therefore defund them.

Some police are bad agents...hate to knock you over with a feather but there are bad people in every profession. Most cops sign up as cops to be the good guy. The job beats you down because you're asked to deal with human scum all day long, and some cops will go bad doing that. When they go bad, kick them out or worse, depending on their crime/infraction. Seem sensible enough?

Your buying into the DNC narrative that all cops stink is sad, if not sometimes predictable. Some of us read your posts and have decided you have a clear tendency to rip Republicans but rarely Democrats, and that's your right of course.

So when you say 'we have no ideas to offer', what exactly are we supposed to offer if we know that systemic (as opposed to individual) cop corruption is not a problem? How does one fix that which is not broken? Maybe it's you taking your cues from the DNC, always in search of a non-existent problem to fire up the base?

First of all, you're supposed to listen to the protesters, not the DNC. Right out of the gate, you're wrong.

Right. You don't believe the protesters. You believe the Democrats that are running these cities that everything is fine, nothing to see here.

Your buying into the DNC narrative that all cops stink is sad, if not sometimes predictable. .

Never said that once. You're incapable of free thought, Pete. Did Dems beat you up as a kid? You're pathological with this Dem stuff.

What I said was, these cities are being poorly managed by Democrat leaders. And because you can't remove your head to get some air, you don't believe the people who are telling you the Democratic leadership in these cities have failed.

So when you say 'we have no ideas to offer', what exactly are we supposed to offer if we know that systemic (as opposed to individual) cop corruption is not a problem?

Great. So there isn't a problem, Democratic leadership in these cities are working great, no systemic problems in their management.

Way to go Pete. You've managed to convince yourselves that the Democrats are running a tight ship in Minneapolis, nothing to see here.

So.....they should just continue to vote for these Democrats, since there's no problem there. Neat.

Among a bewilderingly inexhaustive list of matters you've got very wrong here, the one that leaps most to mind is you thinking the 'protesters' aren't the DNC and vice versa because 'the cities they're rioting in are run by Dems why would they hurt their own'.

You might have noticed two very important things: 1) the institutions the 'protesters' are attacking in these Dem cities are (as close to) exemplars of civil order, Republicanism, and/or capitalism; and 2) the Democratic mayors, Congressmen, Governors, and usual suspect rabble-rousers aren't condemning the chaos ('antifa doesn't exist!!!!' ).

Now why do they do that, knowing the damage will hurt those most in need (otherwise known as Democratic voters)? What possible good comes from promoting the nihilists, anarchists, looters, rioters, and thugs attacking the very businesses and institutions that hold your typical lib Democratic city together?

Well, let me tell you something, a fan: it's GOT EVERYTHING to do with failures by Democratic leadership but Democratic leadership needs the people (and media!) to think Trump is the reason for the people's misery, and these riots are therefore responses to Trump, not them!! Even though they have had decades of influence on life outcomes for the very people whose lives are miserable, not Trump.

Leftism is a cancer because it is. It is dishonest to its very core. Exhibit A is the riots.

Right. They're all Dems. It's impossible for Republicans or independent voters in that city to get fed up with *hit leadership, and march in the streets protesting their leader's ineptitude.

You've lost your mind.

2+2= no, because squirrels can't dance. Solid, solid logic.

Did BLM and these problems exist before Trump, Pete? Trump had NOTHING to do with what erupted in Minneapolis. Or Ferguson, for that matter. Pay attention.

The entire Republican party is like this.

All that their fellow Americans are saying is: government isn't working for them. What's Republican's reaction to this news? "Hey, we've been trying to tell you that for years! Welcome to the team!!" ??

Nope. Instead, Republican reaction is "I don't believe you".

They're siding with Government, and telling us that government can't possibly be wrong. They've lost their minds. Completely.

So because they've dug their heels in? It wouldn't occur to them that these citizens might, for example, be incorrect as to the cause of the problems (racism). Does that REALLY matter? Offer help. Listen. Fix the problems. Maybe the underlying systemic issues aren't racial. Maybe it's something else. But you can't figure that out if your response is "you protesters are insane, government is perfect".

Naaaaaah. Clearly, the only choice here is to call these Americans crazy, ignore their pleas that government isn't working, and whine about Antifa.

The nature of government 'not working' is built into government's DNA. The fundamental and inviolate nature of bureaucracy is no one person owns any outcome, thus indifference to outcome invariably leads to poor outcomes. This is the easiest theory to prove in human history.

The peaceful protesters' (who seemingly enjoy burning down buildings, among other violent crimes) aren't on the same team here, a fan; they want way MORE government. Their pleas are the pleas of the DNC; this is about power and control, nothing less. You're mistaking the few genuinely honest characters who may have launched the effort, but that day is long gone; the DNC has moved in and now controls the chaos. You might have noticed that very few Democratic politicians decry the nightly violence and destruction. Ever wonder why that is?

Democrats are very opposed to authoritarian leaders and police states, unless it’s their authoritarian and police state. See: Garcetti, De Blasio, et al

Speaking of incompetence... Dementia Joe steps on his dinghus yet again. The usual suspects on this forum will tell us... that is just Joe being Joe man, it's his stuttering problem that causes all these brain farts.

I noticed that anytime I go to a Dunkin Donuts or a 7-11 store the people behind the counter always speak with a slight Indian accent. Have the rest of the folks on this forum noticed the same thing? Joe noticed it.

Jim Cramer interviews Nancy Pelosi:

Jim Cramer: I like your spirit of being more upbeat, more optimistic so I will offer this: why can't you go across the aisle and say, ‘Representative Lewis, civil rights legend, would have loved it if we could do something for the totally disenfranchised in this country. No matter what, can we give a huge chunk of money to the people who are disenfranchised, to minorities who want so badly to stay in business and can't and to people who are trying to go to college or have student loans who are minorities who are the most affected because they had the least chance in our country?’ That's got to be something both sides can agree to.

Speaker Pelosi: Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn for what you just described.

Jim Cramer: Ooh, jeez.

Speaker Pelosi: Yeah. That's the problem. See, the thing is, they don't believe in governance. They don’t believe in governance, and that requires some acts of government to do that.

Really? where are they getting the funds to buy drugs? From their friends at Choate or Exeter?
