His only tool is racism ...

Not at all. I just put the founders in their proper historical place. They were more concerned about achieving full independence from a British King and instituting a nation of a kind that had never ever been evolved. They were less concerned about what the best means were. Which is why they accepted slavery in order to obtain the necessary whole solidarity to defend a "nation of ex-colonies"!*

Imagine what a burden that was if there was no "patent" to follow!

Which is why they got parts of it wrong - and what PISSES YOU OFF is that I dare mention it in writing.

Too bad! I love history, but I do not make the mistake of anchoring my beliefs (political or religious) in the long-gone past.

Wakey, wakey ... !

*The shame of it all was (little did our founders know) that the world was about to indulge in Age Change. When a fundamental age-change process occured by which the world evolved from the Agricultural Age into the Industrial Age as of the middle 19th century! And the world is NOW PRESENTLY CHANGING once again. From the Industrial Age into the Information Age. (So let's not screw than one up as well!)

 

Of course you know you will be reported . Thats what lefty does.

 

Why should I. Last time I looked this was a DEBATE forum.

Maybe you're looking for a Message Board where one leaves one/two liner sarcasm as "rebuttal"?

I'm not. I give "long-winded" explanations of what are actually complex societal/political problems/issues. I attempt at providing the background information that leads me to my conclusions. And, yes, I am Center-Left in my political leanings because I have lived in Social Democracies in Europe - and they're just fine. Because they are a hybrid between Socialism and pure Capitalism. (Meaning there's room for both!)

"Rabid"? and "cost is absurdly high"? How poetic of you! (And wrong in both insinuations!)

The cost of American healthcare is dramatically higher than here in Europe - and all the money goes to those practicing it. For a cost-comparison with other developed economies (with National Healthcare Systems) see here: How do healthcare prices and use in the U.S. compare to other countries?

Note that the average comparable cost-average is 37% higher in the US (than other countries).

I'm not forcing anybody to do anything. And "socialism" no longer exists in any country (except maybe North Korea). So, what you know about "socialism" is greatly limited.

I'm arguing the merits of a Social Democracy. Do look up that definition because many Americans seem to go orbital when they see the word "social" without the modifying word "church".

Down boy ...

 

My parents migrated from Europe a long, long time ago. So, I must be "racist"*?

George Washington migrated from England! Was he racist too? (He spoke with an AWFUL British accent!)

Kind regards from "lefty" ... !

 

And what you do is even worse. You rebut in a forum with sarcastic one-liners that you THINK are funny.

Heaven help us ...

 

It seems to me that those were economic criticisms. There is no racism in it at all. It is the left that is obsessed with racism. The man says what he thinks. Good or bad, he deserves criticism for the content of his speech, not your idea of what motivated it.

 

I agree - they are economic decisions. But to suggest that there are no racist motivators in Trump's life is not genuine. I'm not one who screams 'racism' at the drop of a hat - but when I see certain behaviors or hear certain words - I will call it out.

As for the left being obsessed with racism - how would you explain those on the right who are calling out racism in Trump's words and actions?

 

Trump could fart and the media would chase after it to talk about how bad it smells. Trump knows his tweets are offensive and he intends for them to distract the media while he does things like sign bills for Asylum bans.

 

I suggest you read this below from here (Psychology Today): "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump"

More than 60,000 mental-health professionals have signed on to that petition.

The man is sick, sick, sick and YOU* voted him into the country's presidency ... !

PS: In fact, he lost the popular-vote by a healthy 2.1%. It was a manipulation of the Electoral College that made him PotUS.

 

Nice read, and then I noticed this...




It's painfully hard for me to believe a man is mentally I'll when he was not properly tested and interviewed. If people diagnosed me based on what I said on twitter and other online sources, I'd be prescribed more medication that my insurance can cover lol. Let's not forget the two year effort of the "collusion with Russia" the dems pushed so relentlessly only to come up with empty hands after the Mueller report. Now you guys are claiming he is mentally I'll to try and get him out of office .

Who's more unfit for political seats in power now?

 

But you are inventing the racism. He is referring to a failed country as a failed country. There isn't a word about skin color.

I can't explain it. I think it is ridiculous and thin skinned. People should be able to criticize ideas without someone inventing a racial motive for it.

 

You can find no racist motivations or actions in Trump, not now or ever. Trump's racism is a ardent figment of the imaginations of the Trump haters.

 

Those are your words, Mentally Ill. But any real analysis would require, as you say, a professional assessment.

However, one can divine (according to present behaviour) if a person is Mentally Unbalanced, and therefore probably needs to be interviewed by psychiatrists.

THAT is the point at which we are presently. He has not been committed to a nuthouse. Not yet.

But his behaviour in office has been one so strong in behavioural perturbations as to have prompted the question of whether he is or not Mentally Ill.

Yes, indeed, the answer would require examination. But this particular instance is one of a person who sits on a button that could declare nuclear war planet-wide.

That alone would be reason enough to get him away from the White House, and have him examined.

You know, such a situation is why we have a Vice President ...

 

Fair enough

 

Shrill name calling and hyperbole are not DEBATE. Maybe you should look into what a DEBATE is. Doesn't have to be a formal DEBATE, but generally discussing the topic is the main idea, not trying to use your magical powers to tell me my motives, or make up some position for me about "rabid socialism".
Long winded responses are fine. However, did you notice how you chop my posts up and only respond to the most benign line you can find while avoiding all substance? Is that what a DEBATE looks like to you? I don't avoid anything you say, because I don't have to. You avoid my points because you have no response. Look at post #128. Your response to me has nothing to do with what you quoted. You start pontificating about income and **** no one was talking about. It has nothing to do with anything, aside from maybe it was just something you wanted to get off your chest or something.
So please, if you are capable of having these complex sociopolitical discussions as you say, activate that power now and do so. So far, you have brought nothing to the table.

I know right? What kind of IDIOT would say something about "rabid socialism" and "absurdly high costs" unprompted in a conversation about race? A real moron, on that we can agree. The only person dumber than that, would be someone who wrote that themselves, saw it quoted in someone else's post, and attacked their own comment like the other guy said it.
You may want to take a minute to review the thread and see which one of us posted that, genius. Start with post 128, 3rd line down. You attributed that comment to me because of your mind reading powers...I quoted you saying it, and then you act like that is proof I think and say that.

Wow you really took command of this conversation and showed me. I thought your arguments were mostly baseless trash, but then you implied that you are secretly smarter than me and told me to look up the definition of a common word to flex. Put the "down boy" there just to express a little alpha dominance. Impressive. White boy BTFO. How can I recover from that? If you think social democracy is something people need to look up, then I have clearly over estimated you.
Sadly for both of us, it appears I already know everything you know and stand to gain very little from continuing this.

See, I can be a snarky piece of **** too. So do you want to snipe back and forth at each other like a couple of catty women, or do you want to have a real conversation?

 

Polls are for losers. Conservatives are much too busy working and taking care of their families to participate in any polls unless of course it's the second Tuesday in November 2020.
Remember all the polls right before the 2016 Election?

 

They don't want to do that because Trump isn't racist and they know it.
