Be more like Canada

[Mac1958]

Our right wing is paralyzed by a binary, all-or-nothing mentality that has been drummed into them by talk radio and its resulting allies on the internet.

They simply can't comprehend shades of grey; they don't understand that an economy can have positive elements of both types of economies. To them, it can only be one or the other, that's it.

And their absolute refusal to see the obvious may be the primary driver of this increasing interest in, and openness to, socialism. Of course, they don't/won't see that, either.
.

Our left wing is paralyzed by a binary, all-or-nothing mentality that has been drummed into them by CNN/PMSNBC and its resulting allies on the internet.

They don't understand that our country and economy already have too much of the central gov't dictates and control that has marked the slide of many others into the human spirit & economy crushing curse that is socialism.

And their absolute refusal to see the obvious - that it won't work next time either - is a function of their blind eagerness to install a nanny-state with cradle-grave misery for all (except the apparatchiks, or course).​

Yes, too much central government is not a good thing. I'm glad to see you recognize that this exists along a continuum, that this is not binary.

And we agree that the two ends of the spectrum can be comically and transparently similar in their behaviors? That's also good to know.
.

Probably something to with the fact that the "spectrum" is a circle, the two "ends" aren't "similar" in their behaviors, they're exactly the same in their behaviors (selfish, authoritarian, counter-factual and immune to reason).

Hey there,
Jim from Canada here. You Americans need to vote for Bernie. You might not agree with all his points, but he's truly your only option.

The United States is moving in a different direction than other democratic first world countries. The US citizens average life span is appalling among the G8, as well as life satisfaction and a slew of other metrics for how good your country is to live in.

And seriously, you guys are really embarrassing right now. Being Canadian can be fun. Foreigners wont have any idea we're not American unless we tell them (the asute foreigner will know straight away when we introduce ourselves like "Hi I'm James" instead of "Hi I'm James, would you like to see a picture of my handgun?")
But now we're forced to introduce ourselves like "Hi I'm James, I'm not American, I'm Canadian, sorry about my countries brother right now guys...."

If you wont adopt a more socialist, mixed market economy, like the rest of progressive human society, then please at least stop bragging about how awesome it is to get shafted by large insurance companies.

Now you might not agree with what Bernie says, but his heart is in the right place. You can either have that, or keep going down the shit slide. Seriously as a Canadian, who is statistically more educated and literate than you, those are your two options...

Well said....I have lot of friends that went to school in Canada and migrated. Great country and great people.
As you might know, most americans don't travel abroad and they were fed the lie that they live the best lives, but in reality, they work long hours, pay too much for health care, poor education even with a college degree, high crimes.
Trust me they wont believe you, they have been brainwashed...they even vote against their own interest.

Yes, this place is horrible, that’s why radheads beg to live here, wetbacks don’t travel through to get to the great white north and negroes all go home to Africa to live that awesome life they were deprived of. This place is terrible...PLEASE spread the world to the worlds trash. Thanks in advance

Yeah.. it sucks so bad in the good ole USA that everyone and their 6,000 cousins is trying to break in to live here.

Meanwhile in Canada, the two Mounties that protect the borders from invaders died of excessive boredom.

 

[Pogo]

ooooh ooooh Progressive LMAO

“Progressive” when observed objectively actually means backwards economic policies that spread poverty, amoral culture that spreads misery, high taxes, bad schools, high crime rates, anti-mainstream, anti-middle class, anti-Wasp, anti-suburbanite, anti-Christian, anti-Southerner, anti-Midwesterner, anti-American, anti-democracy, anti-sovereignty, incompetence government and incredible lying and corruption
We should deport our "Progressives" to Canada to teach them a lesson

Oh please do! Can you imagine, it's no coincidence the more Democratic areas in the United States have the best of the best Americans. Imagine if Canada all of a sudden got the best of the best from silicon valley alone. Never mind the most qualified engineers, doctors, scientists the world over.

I'm sure Canada could finally shave of that half a percent and be equal with Scandinavian countries in the area of life quality in a few months!

It wouldn't be long until what's left of the US degenerates and that leading military you got there stops working entirely, then we'd only have to worry about the heavily armed and quarrelsome backwards population. I'm sure by that time, and with unlimited government funding, of-course, the former US scientists we acquire would develop sophisticated weapons technology by which we could defend ourselves easily.

Within a decade, I believe Canada could then influence public perception enough down there to instill a Canadian puppet president instead of a Russian one.

I like your idea and agree with it.

Lol, California is a lib mecca and it's falling apart with illegals, debt, infrastructure, excessive taxation, freak shows, homeless. Hate to ruin your circus but those aren't the best of the best.

You've never been there either huh?

California is beautiful but libs have flushed it into the toilet. I split work time in Calgary....that's a city in one of Canada's provinces, Alberta. I assumed you didn't know. Healthcare is horrid and taxes are excessive.

When I said you hadn't been there "either" --- the word "either" refers to the other yahoos who dived in to trash Canada, a place I have no doubt they've never been anywhere near. I know all the provinces, thank you very much. Been to far more than Alberta and more times literally than I can count. In fact even today most of the daily news I get comes from CBC. So no, that's not a safe ass-sumption.

I understand and accept temporarily helping those struck by misfortune but I refuse to willingly contribute to someone's stupidity.

You're already doing it. People are getting paid for delivering health care services to people who can't afford them, and you and I are paying for it, no matter how inefficient or expensive it is (such as packed ER's).

I don't want Single Payer. The Democrats are LYING when they call Single Payer "Medicare for All", because the REAL Medicare system includes a strong and innovative free market component that could easily be expanded. Most people don't know that.

I'd increase THAT system to all, with some important (but by no means impossible) tweaks. It's just sitting there, working well, waiting to be scaled up. AND, since each plan is individual and portable, it would take a massive cost monkey off the backs of American employers.

I think you really nailed it there with "dumbed down".

One of the many behavioral similarities of wingers on both ends is this need to oversimplify a complicated life. Right wingers do that by drawing simplistic lines between "Good" and "Evil", while Left wingers to it by drawing simplistic lines between the "Oppressors" and the "Oppressed".

Once I realized (and I'd say this has really hit me over the last couple of years) that it's highly unlikely that wingers on either end will be a substantive part of the communication and collaboration required to improve this country, I'm much more comfortable to just observe your behaviors.

“Progressive” when observed objectively actually means backwards economic policies that spread poverty, amoral culture that spreads misery, high taxes, bad schools, high crime rates, anti-mainstream, anti-middle class, anti-Wasp, anti-suburbanite, anti-Christian, anti-Southerner, anti-Midwesterner, anti-American, anti-democracy, anti-sovereignty, incompetence government and incredible lying and corruption
We should deport our "Progressives" to Canada to teach them a lesson

Oh please do! Can you imagine, it's no coincidence the more Democratic areas in the United States have the best of the best Americans. Imagine if Canada all of a sudden got the best of the best from silicon valley alone. Never mind the most qualified engineers, doctors, scientists the world over.

I'm sure Canada could finally shave of that half a percent and be equal with Scandinavian countries in the area of life quality in a few months!

It wouldn't be long until what's left of the US degenerates and that leading military you got there stops working entirely, then we'd only have to worry about the heavily armed and quarrelsome backwards population. I'm sure by that time, and with unlimited government funding, of-course, the former US scientists we acquire would develop sophisticated weapons technology by which we could defend ourselves easily.

Within a decade, I believe Canada could then influence public perception enough down there to instill a Canadian puppet president instead of a Russian one.

I like your idea and agree with it.

Lol, California is a lib mecca and it's falling apart with illegals, debt, infrastructure, excessive taxation, freak shows, homeless. Hate to ruin your circus but those aren't the best of the best.

As with the middle class exodus from so many of our once finest cities - most governed for decades by Democrats - by the time California reacts to the migration of theirs to other states it will be too late to undo the damage done. It's why the left wants central gov't control of all things … to make every state like Cali.

Hard to believe some wankers are still trying to peddle this shit.

The fact is most municipalities elect their leaders with nonpartisan elections --- no parties. That's because the decisions of when to run the snowplows and who gets their trash picked up on Tuesdays has ZERO to do with anything "right", "left" or "political". That's just everyday frickin' management.

Yet you go on crowing this mythology to anyone who will still listen within your echo-chamber circle jerk. Hard to believe.

As with the middle class exodus from so many of our once finest cities - most governed for decades by Democrats - by the time California reacts to the migration of theirs to other states it will be too late to undo the damage done. It's why the left wants central gov't control of all things … to make every state like Cali.

The Unfortunate Truth of Democratic Urban Governance

Hard to believe some wankers are still trying to peddle this shit.

The fact is most municipalities elect their leaders with nonpartisan elections --- no parties. That's because the decisions of when to run the snowplows and who gets their trash picked up on Tuesdays has ZERO to do with anything "right", "left" or "political". That's just everyday frickin' management.

Yet you go on crowing this mythology to anyone who will still listen within your echo-chamber circle jerk. Hard to believe.

Political correctness has made you fucking retarded

Yes, too much central government is not a good thing. I'm glad to see you recognize that this exists along a continuum, that this is not binary.

And we agree that the two ends of the spectrum can be comically and transparently similar in their behaviors? That's also good to know.
.

Probably something to with the fact that the "spectrum" is a circle, the two "ends" aren't "similar" in their behaviors, they're exactly the same in their behaviors (selfish, authoritarian, counter-factual and immune to reason).

Well, I do like to leave a little room for the possibility that the wings will grow up a bit.

Not much, but a little.

Your “wingers” act is super fun and entertaining and I hate to say anything that may throw a wrench in it but I ask...Doesn’t one “wing” want to change everything about America that made America America and doesn’t the other “wing” simply want to keep America the America that made America?
When the situation is simplified and dumbed down isn’t it clear that we really only have one group of “wingers”?

I think you really nailed it there with "dumbed down".

One of the many behavioral similarities of wingers on both ends is this need to oversimplify a complicated life. Right wingers do that by drawing simplistic lines between "Good" and "Evil", while Left wingers to it by drawing simplistic lines between the "Oppressors" and the "Oppressed".

Once I realized (and I'd say this has really hit me over the last couple of years) that it's highly unlikely that wingers on either end will be a substantive part of the communication and collaboration required to improve this country, I'm much more comfortable to just observe your behaviors.

I think my point flew over your head.
Follow me here; one “wing” is fighting to keep America all that is American while the other “wing” fights to morph America into something unAmerican and not America.
Isn’t there really only one “winger” in this scenario?

Sure, whatever you'd like.

Our left wing is paralyzed by a binary, all-or-nothing mentality that has been drummed into them by CNN/PMSNBC and its resulting allies on the internet.

They don't understand that our country and economy already have too much of the central gov't dictates and control that has marked the slide of many others into the human spirit & economy crushing curse that is socialism.

And their absolute refusal to see the obvious - that it won't work next time either - is a function of their blind eagerness to install a nanny-state with cradle-grave misery for all (except the apparatchiks, or course).​

False equivalency.

The numbers and power of rad-rights is marginal while the Democrat Socialist Party - as judged by their words, actions, and nomination debates - is controlled by their rad-lefts.

Haha...I love it when you bow-out as you realize you’re starting to look foolish.
Why would you consider a ‘group’ that is willing to fight to keep America American a group of “wingers”? I thought we call them PATRIOTS...no?
