Democrats Still Haven't Learned Their Lesson..Intend On Making America Un-American

[Mac1958]

Unfortunately the OP is correct.

The decent, traditional, non-crazed Democrats need to find a way to get this party back.
.

I have two very decent, traditional, non-crazed democrat friends, that incidentally both voted for obama both times, but voted for Trump because they got disgusted with where the dems were leading the country and with what obama was doing.

The OP is spot on, and the little leftards in here with nothing more than their sophomoric trash talk is getting so a-typical and predictable it's pathetic, but they just can't stop themselves. They have no substance, just insults, hyperbole, lies and trash talk exactly as the OP illustrates, and thus, they are prime examples of why the dem party is sinking like the Titanic. People are sick it and sick of them.

Sad but true.

I figured I was safe. The ONE thing I really DON'T want is for one of these parties to have total control like this.

And I badly underestimated how many people agreed with me about PC and Identity Politics.
.

I will say that although you have displayed more leftist leanings of late than right, that regardless, you do appear to understand what it is that is plaguing the democrat party. If all dems were like you, needless to say it would probably be better liked, and the presidential election might have turned out different. Why aren't more dems like you? Why does it appear that most dems are ultra left, militant, whiny zealots? Did they all learn that in college?

I'm just an independent, a little left-leaning.

I want very much to believe that there are still a lot of reasonable, decent Democrats out there who are just being drowned out by the crazies.

What concerns me is that they appear to be a smaller and smaller percentage of the party.

I don't know how this gets fixed.
.

Well, I think needless to say, the democrat party is going to have to fix it, and it would appear they're trying because they had a hidden vote to oust Pelosi, but, they voted her right back in, so it doesn't appear there's enough "new blood" yet to oust the old guard that's dragging the party down. The old guard is facilitating and building a permanent underclass that is beholding to them for hand outs to keep them voting for them, but these people have been totally indoctrinated and seem incapable of seeing they're being played. They think they're so smart because they went to college, but spent $50K on a masters degree in POTTERY MAKING, and then don't understand why they can't find a job, and then have to depend on the government for handouts to survive, and the only way they can keep their handouts coming is vote for dems. Problem is the house of cards is crumbling. The tits running dry. I see these people as mentally lazy as well as physically. The time is rapidly approaching where they're going to have to leave the safe places and actually, physically, contribute to society or be trampled into the dust bin of history.

I think there is some momentum for marginalizing the crazies, but it definitely has a long way to go.

The zealots still have all the energy and most of the influence within the party, and that goes a long way.

When conservatives start trying to define what Americanism is for the rest of us it starts sounding like a fascist America that never was.

Unfortunately the left is trying to redefine what America is and what it stands for. Throwing around labels like racist or fascist is simply an attempt at deflection.

It's the old adage: "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."

Like many of the Leftist in here, they are the rudest, crudest, and loudest, so they take center stage. They are drowning out the voices of the more level-headed Democrats, giving their party a bad name among the silent majority.

Admittedly, there is a similar faction on the Right. These people, however, don't seem to be quite as obnoxious as those on the Left, any they try to make their case with, at least, a little coherency.

YES. There are many similarities in the behaviors of the Left and the Right, but the Left has simply become nastier and more hateful, more divisive.

The proof is in the pudding. As it stands right now, it's a regional party.

Democrats are trying to create leaders that are useless to society but so brainwashed they become the new elitist establishment making all of the decisions. The folks in charge today were created in the 60s that dropped acid, snorted coke, and smoked pot. They are all a bunch of mind-numb, highly educated idiots that think they are special. Everything that never worked before will work for them because they feel so warm and fuzzy about it. I have news for them. Good intentions aren't enough. You have to learn from your mistakes rather than repeating them. Just hoping you have enough power to force everyone to like the pitiful results isn't gonna fly in this country.

 

[mudwhistle]

Dems need to keep Obama talking after January, he's the best thing for Republicans since Coolidge

Yeah, your man is going to fuck up everything he touches while Mr. Obama leaves office with positive approval ratings.

One more example of a leftard talking his trash..... ^^^

They will NEVER learn.

Any poll showing obama with anything higher than a 15% approval rating is about as accurate as their Hitlery is going to win the election polls. They're a farce.

LOL just keep on with that elitist attitude.

Projection by Libs is common-place on USMB these days.

One thing we might want remember is that the Democratic Party of today is a result of the 1960's Counter-Culture. The "Peace, Love, Dope"; "Flower Power/Children"; "Make Love Not War"; "Woodstock" generation. Most all of the "Hippy" types from that era in the Democratic Party have retired/died out, but their legacy lives on.

Those of us that were around at that time should know what I'm talking about.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

The Democrats show signs of moving even farther left than they are today. They invent phrases intended to mislead us into thinking that being a normal, average, Middle-Class American is what they call "Alt-Right", as if we're the radicals, not them.
Democrats have descended into a political party that actually brags about wanting to flood the country with foreigners just so they can cancel out the votes of the people that have been living here for generations. An ulterior motive is one that their donors are paying billions for. Which motive is that? It's simple....they want a permanent underclass of poor Americans that can't speak the language of the country and is uneducated to the point that they'll believe anything the Democrats tell them. You can't get your average college student to understand this. They literally freaked out when Hillary lost and are unwilling to accept that Hillary was using them to expand poverty in America. Our institutions of higher learning are creating thousands of pampered babies who refuse to listen to any viewpoint that isn't completely in line with the viewpoint that has been force fed to them all of their lives. This village mentality will eventually bear fruit with the destruction of this country as a productive Capitalist world power.

The most appreciative American these days seems to be a naturalized citizen that spent most of his or her life living under the thumb of authoritarian governments Democrats admire, governments like the U.S.S.R., or Communist Cuba. Ask any Cuban immigrant, they'll tell you how wonderful Fidel Castro was. (Sarcasm intended) It's no small wonder that Hillary lost. People are paying attention to this. Still, they insist they're on the right track. They've created plenty of new voters, just not enough. Maybe next time they'll be able to create enough of them to beat back the will of the American people.

Why the Democrats Can't Stop Calling the GOP Racists
By Karin McQuillan
President Obama, Democrat politicians and the mainstream media are still calling Trump KKK. They’re tarring his team as anti-Semites and racists. The electoral map would stop any normal politicians in their tracks, but Democrat hate speech is only getting louder and more hysterical. A major course correction is not going to happen for three reasons:

1. Democrat leadership;

2. Democrat donors;

3. Democrat voting blocks.

There is no force in the party that wants to change.

Democrats don’t debate Trump on the issues, because their agenda is a turn-off. Under the leadership of Alinskyite Barack Obama, the Democratic Party has degenerated from liberalism to progressivism. It has not been pretty. A focus on preferential treatment for blacks has given way to a war on cops. Caring about Hispanic Americans suddenly means America shouldn’t have borders and should have sanctuary for rapists and killers -- as long as they are here illegally.

Browbeating college kids by empowerring feminists and black activists with Title IX money has turned college campuses against freedom of thought and speech. Women’s issues have bizarrely turned into a war on masculinity. Gay rights has morphed into men in women’s bathrooms. Pro-choice turned into third-trimester infanticide and lawsuits against the Little Sisters of the Poor. Physical violence against Republicans is encouraged by President Obama and Clinton under the euphemism ‘protest.’

Democrat progressive politics is weird and ugly and dangerous, and people across the country have recoiled from it. As Marc Thiessen says with his usual eloquence, “You can drive some 3,000 miles across the entire continental United States — from sea to shining sea — without driving through a single county that voted for Hillary Clinton.”

Yet Democrats continue to think they can win by disrespecting the white working class and religious Americans, because “demographics are on our side,” as Obama stated defiantly after Trump’s electoral college blow-out. The wealthy coastal liberals and brown-skinned America are the only ones who count in Obama’s calculus. The map above strikes no chord in his heart.

Progressives want to rule all those red counties in perpetuity: a one-party state, based on racial voting. They look forward to a colonial society with the liberal elite ruling a continent from their isolated blue enclaves.

Obama remains triumphalist about his version of the Democrat party based on race. He told David Remnick:

“Democrats are well positioned to keep winning Presidential elections just by appealing to the base. And, each year, the demographic improves.”

His interviewer Remnick spells out what Obama means by improved demographics:

To put it more bluntly than Obama did, the nonwhite percentage of the population will continue to increase.

The Democrats have paid a high price for their campaign of progressive identity politics. The Obama impact on statehouses and state governors is far more devastating than the loss of one Presidential election.

“Under our current leadership, Democrats have been reduced to our smallest congressional minority since 1929. . . . We have the fewest Democrats in state and federal offices since Reconstruction.” – Rep. Tim Ryan, challenger to Nancy Pelosi for House Minority Leader

Yet the Democrat voices calling for a return to something resembling the Bill Clinton mainstream are few indeed – some lesser known journalists, one academic, Bill Maher, one or two Congressman from districts that voted Trump. It is not enough.

Obama so far has miraculously stood apart from the destruction he has wrought. He still aims to build a revolutionary cultural movement aiming at the “fundamental transformation of America.” Obama has no intention of retiring from politics as every President since George Washington has done.

Our outgoing President’s thoughts on the Trump victory: he and Michelle will get busy “creating… the next generation of leadership,” a new America where work and success are “disconnected.” Obama wants an America “in which productivity and wealth generation are not automatically linked to how many hours you put in, where the links between production and distribution are broken, in some sense.” His groupie interviewer, David Remnick, summarizes: Obama “seemed to be returning to the days when he was a community organizer in the Atgeld Gardens housing project, on the South Side of Chicago.”

In the immediate future, not insignificantly, there is a lot of radical leftist and racialist dirt about to be uncovered by Jeff Sessions at Obama’s DOJ, including the funneling of half a billion dollars to left-wing activist groups. That’s one reason Obama is leading the Democrats in a mad rush to delegitimize the new AG Jeff Sessions as a Klan supporter.

Obama’s race-based progressivism is shared by the leaders of the Democratic Party. The next DNC chair is likely to be the loathsome Keith Ellison, who is backed by Sanders, Warren, Schumer and Reid. Why? He is black and he is Muslim, perfect for attacking the Trump administration as racist and Islamophobic.

The structural damage to the Democratic machine has clearly been done, and the party seems incapable of realizing its own political mistakes. The influence of heavyweight progressive-movement donors continues to bind the party to its losing left-wing identity.

The most important voters in the Democrat base are sadly, our very ill served black community. Democrats are nothing without black block voting, which they curry not by helping blacks, but by hurting them with the big lie that white America is racist.

In a post-election New Yorker interview, Obama libels his own white working class voters, describing them as “people who may, nevertheless, have … biases about African-Americans or Latinos or women or gays.” Obama explained the Trump victory to his daughters as a “flare-up of bigotry.”

This is why, more than ever since the election, the Democratic Party’s organizing principle is calling Republicans racists.

Yet regardless of the facts, most liberals and their friends in the media continue to view Mr. Trump’s victory through a self-serving racial lens. Today, race is the Democratic Party’s organizing principle. Group identity is a doctrine and group grievances are to be nurtured and exploited politically no matter the damage to civil discourse.

Ugly identity politics meets the emotional needs of the Democrats’ main voting blocks and promotes the special interests of their progressive donor class. Democrat politicians at the state and county level are collateral damage.

I have two very decent, traditional, non-crazed democrat friends, that incidentally both voted for obama both times, but voted for Trump because they got disgusted with where the dems were leading the country and with what obama was doing.

I was surprised to find out over Thanksgiving how many members of my family who have been staunch Democrats their entire lives ended up voting for Trump. My uncle, who has never voted for a Republican until now, said this isn't the same Democratic Party anymore.

I noticed that after FDR was elected the fourth time you birds jumped up the first chance you got and fixed the maximum number of terms a president could serve at two. We appreciate you guys looking out for us.

I know what you're doing. You're trying to turn every effective, intelligent, and informative thread into a pissing contest.

Epic fail.

Well, actually, what you started the thread with was an incoherent rant.

Unfortunately the OP is correct.

The decent, traditional, non-crazed Democrats need to find a way to get this party back.

Sorry, Mac. You still can't tell dirty jokes in the office.

I have two very decent, traditional, non-crazed democrat friends, that incidentally both voted for obama both times, but voted for Trump because they got disgusted with where the dems were leading the country and with what obama was doing.

They have medications for imaginary friends.

Meanwhile, it the real world, Trump got a lower voter percentage than Romney did.

All those folks who voted for Stein and Johnson were the problem.. not the usual gang of bigots who voted for Trump.

I was surprised to find out over Thanksgiving how many members of my family who have been staunch Democrats their entire lives ended up voting for Trump. My uncle, who has never voted for a Republican until now, said this isn't the same Democratic Party anymore.

Again- same question- If that's the case, why didn't Trump get many more votes than Romney did?

He got 62.5 million votes compared to Romney's 61 million. His vote total only grew by 2% while the size of the electorate grew by 4.5%.

Frankly, the Democratic Party really hasn't changed, and if it has, it's become more centrist, not less.

I think the real problem is that BOTH Parties really lost this election. This was supposed to be a nice quiet fight between Jeb and Hillary playing for the Dynasties.

Instead you got a commie and a Nazi upsetting the apple carts.

I do actually get whey SOME people voted for Trump. The working class has been getting screwed since 2000, and neither party seems to care all that much.

Where it all falls apart is taht Trump has no answers and he's bringing in a lot of people who contributed heavily to the problems.

To be fair, I agree if Obama could have run for a third term, he'd have beaten Trump. If Bernie had gotten the nomination, he'd have beaten Trump.

But the 22nd Amendment was still a pretty good idea. FDR never should have run for a fourth term when everyone around him knew he was dying. That left the US unprepared for the immediate aftermath of WWII.

Guy, all of your OP's are rants. This one was nearly incoherent.

Here's a tip for good writing. Stick to one topic, don't meander all over the board.
