Can we finally bury the myth Democrats are smarter?

[bripat9643]

This whole argument is such a sham. Democrats follow the same strategy here as in the healthcare debate, understanding that their party is so dumb they can't see the forest for the trees. We have given you obamacare, now everyone has insurance. But way too many Americans now don't have healthcare because they can't afford it, but the perception is that dems care, the reality is they can't run a lemonade stand.

More money is spent on education and healthcare in this country than any other nation in the world, and we are sliding backwards. Republicans who want results for money spent are pilloried as anti education and anti healthcare, when nothing can be farther from the truth. People like Mathew have never been able to to get past generic accusations that only tell,half,the story. Let's look at the recent record.

Student debt is greater than credit card debt. So we have more college graduates than ever, a more educated populace and we have a decline middle class and a greater wealth disparity than ever. So just like health care, everyone is getting a so called education but no one can get a job, AND graduates are so saddled with debt that they can't even contribute to society, so the democratic program on education is hurting the economy. Money is being epically wasted and we are still going backwards. As trump likes to say, these people in power are just stupid.

It won't do any more good to go through the other points. The overarching theme is that democrats weaponize these issues the way they weaponize the justice department or the epa to enforce their political agenda.education is only necessary to brainwash young people and universal healthcare is only necessary in order to control the masses, socialist tenets all. There are very smart people who support democrats and republicans. This country's problem is that the high iq people are avoiding politics like the plague and in both parties we are only being offered the Jv.

We get the government we deserve. We refuse to pay our politicians a competitive salary (the president makes less than many a football coach) and then refuse to pay for their campaigns. Then we are shocked when they spend their time raising money and not representing us. When did we start believing in free lunch?

The president lives like an oriental despot. He has all his food and rent paid for. He has dozens of servants, chiefs, gardeners, maids, personnel attendants. He and his family go on mult-million dollar vacations whenever they want. He flies around in the most luxurious business jet on the planet. He has rock bands and Hollywood stars entertaining him in his home whenever he wants.

His paycheck all goes directly into the bank.

The idea that he isn't paid enough could be more absurd.

The idea of the taxpayers paying for his campaign is even more absurd.

If you vote for either candidate this election, you are not smart at all. This is a year to find a good third party candidate.

Unfortunately the way your political system is set up means the third-party option is a wasted vote. I do agree with you in principle though.

It's not wasted, it is a vote for a person that you deem worthy of the Presidency.

It's wasted if that vote helps to elect someone you despise.

I don't see either candidate worse or better than the other.

Then you're a dumbass.

Trump has no social skills. He will say anything to inflame people. He will change his stance on a dime. He has no conviction. He is a liberal democrat and is not that different than his very good friend Hillary Clinton. Hillary has no filter and will lie on a dime, no matter how stupid the lie is, she will double down on it, even when caught lying.

Hillary is a criminal who will sell this country into slavery. Her Supreme Court picks alone are sufficient justification to do everything in your power to keep her out of the Oval Office.

As per usual your post is insightful and adds greatly to the debate thread.

That is all it does. It doesn't change anything with regard to the status quo.

Seriously? I know neither are ideal, but Trump is infinitely worse in so many ways than Hillary.

The media loves to give the statistics "MOST EDUCATED PEOPLE VOTE DEMOCRAT!"

The media wants everyone to believe that highly educated people sat around and said , "What is the best political system for America?", and the answer came to them as "The Democrats!"

Let me tell you a little story.

I grew up with a kid, and his mom was a hardcore Democrat. He was a lifeguard when he was younger, then later, he became a teacher.

What's missing from this story?

What's missing is, he had no intention of getting a real job in the private sector.

Obviously his mom told him "Make sure you apply for a city job, where the public pays your wages"

Now, the Democrats put on a big act that they have a passion for teaching. Is that the truth? or it the truth the fact they want a job with,

1) an inflated paycheck, paid for by the public.

2) benefits paid for by the public.

3) automatic raises paid for by the public

4) a reduced work day

5) tenure , where they can't get fired no matter how much they fail.

6) pension, paid for by the public.



America's fail rate, and drop-out rate are proof most teachers have no "passion" for teaching.

We learn that Democrats gravitate to the education field, for monetary purposes.

What person is going to risk all those benefits by pissing off everyone they work with, by driving through the parking lot with an "ALL HAIL TRUMP!" bumper sticker?

What person is going to risk a 800k administration job at Stanford, by pissing off everyone they work with, by driving through the parking lot with an "ALL HAIL TRUMP!" bumper sticker?

Young people who apply for jobs at school are going to walk like a duck, quack like a duck, fly like a duck, in hopes the left-wing system will hire another duck.

The logic is very simple. If these people support the Socialist system, their job is secure, and they might be able to get their kids in when the conspiracy is larger.

If the Republicans take over, they run the risk some conservative might show up and say "What the hell is going on here?" and fire everyone because of the drop-out rate.



The Republicans don't pay their salary.

Trump doesn't pay their salary.

Jesus doesn't pay their salary.

The Socialist conspiracy pays their salary!



What the hell do they care what's best for America?

I don't know you're talking about. For the first time in 60 years Republicans are losing the WHITE educated vote.

Your parroting mindless Democrat talking points add so much to the discussion

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Progressive posters fall into two categories: pigeon chess or Comedia Dell'Arte. The pigeon chess players are the ones who insist they're correct irrespective of the overwhelming weight of the evidence against them, they offer nothing in response besides "Everyone knows we're right". The latter are far more entertaining, they're wrong but they give a Commedia presentation of their Big Lie, it's the only play they know by heart.

Look at any topic, global climate warming change, FDR, the total failure or Progressive Economics through history to today, they either declare themselves the winner or put on a Really Big Show presenting their Big Lie.

I didn't say you're a Democrat. Try reading more closely, it was one sentence. Apparently the Kiwi government schools aren't any better than ours are. Do the American left lead all New Zealand leftists by the nose or is it just you?

Only 6% of scientists are Republican. What does that tell you?

Name one.

He stiffs his workers.

He stiffs veterans until he was shamed into keeping his promise.

He doesn't believe in the minimum wage.

He doesn't believe in safety regulations.

He doesn't believe in paid family leave.

Oh, I'm sorry, I was only supposed to name one.
