If “We” Had An Educated Electorate…

[Harpy Eagle]

And a morality test too.

But then "Nobody" would win every time...

Now this is a good idea.

Item 1. on the test .....have you ever cheated on a spouse? If YES then not qualified to run.

 

[Moonglow]

Apples and elephants.

The Democrats are no more leftist than Nazis were Jews.

The Nazis had Jews in their party.

Now this is a good idea.

Item 1. on the test .....have you ever cheated on a spouse? If YES then not qualified to run.

That eliminates Trump.

 

[MinTrut]

We have a more free and open press than at any time in history

The internet puts vast amounts of information, political views, details on key issues at a persons fingertips

People are even free to read the nonsense you post on a daily basis

Censorship is exploding as tech elites and the government work hand in hand to quash free speech and narrow the Overton Window ever more.

Call it the Edwards Rule; the guy looked good on paper, but came across like a coke-snorting televangelist. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!)

I get a hell of a lot more info now than before the internet.

It is if they don't share the coke.

I'm disappointed in your abilty to judge reality.

 

[MinTrut]

False.

Note that the Democrats DO at times pretend to represent the Rational Best Will of The People, and thus do pretend to support some things the left wants, like socialized medicine.

But these things will NEVER happen.

The Democrats, like the Republicans, are criminal capitalist con men/women/other.

 

[Devils_Advocate]

The main problem appears to be the increased numbers of Low Information Voters flocking to the Republican Party

I don’t know if this is caused by inferior school systems in Red States, rampant inbreeding among Conservatives or something in the water systems in rural America

I would argue that you have idiotic voters in both political camps and you sir prove it by making that asinine comment of yours!

The internet is not censored
You can read as much bizarre, offensive and incorrect information as you want

We are even allowed to read Political Chics wild and offensive views

Your pompass super ego superiority complex is yours.

 

[MinTrut]

I'm disappointed in your abilty to judge reality.

The reality is two capitalist crime gangs, though the Democrats are MUCH more dangerous right now, and have many of the totalitarian leanings you identify.

But this has NOTHING to do with the ACTUAL left.

Sadly, it is true

The Conservative movement used to be populated by intellectuals……George Will, William F Buckley

Now they look at intellectuals as the enemy and mock them as elitists.

Todays Conservatives celebrate the uneducated ……Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Rush Limbaugh, Boebert, Greene

Not unlike the GOP calling themselves Conservatives

Yeah and you have the likes of AOC as the future of the Democratic Party, so pot you are as black as kettle.

As for the spin doctors you listed please note they are or were paid shills just like Maddow is for her political spin, so let remember Hannity and so on are paid shills for the right and not legitimate news sources.

 

[MinTrut]

The internet is not censored

Massively censored, and getting much, much worse every day.

The left AND right are being hit hard by liberal fascism in service of the state.

You can read as much bizarre, offensive and incorrect information as you want

And as much rational, inoffensive and correct information as well.

But if it's critical of the state and its criminal actions, you can bet you'll be shadow banned, demonetized, de-platformed and so forth.

Driving speech underground is what censorship does.

If you do not see this happening, or if you're an apologist for it, you're part of the problem - wake up.

We are even allowed to read Political Chics wild and offensive views

Both you and she have your good moments, and you've both made both good and ridiculous claims on ths very thread.

It is eminently simple to recognize the Left.


1.The ideas and values of the modern Democrat Party come directly from the revolution…..no, not the American Revolution, the French Revolution. The may be summarized as:

a. no private property (environmentalism is another way of regulating property out of private ownership).

b. terror and violence as public policy. Note the over 12 thousand riots, assaults, arsons, acts of domestic terrorism authorized and incited by the Democrat Party in the run-up to the election, including the provocation on Jan6.

c. resentment and hostility toward the Judeo-Christian religion, and the substitution of worship of government.

Not in this thread, but in the future I will teach you the difference between capitalism and crony capitalism (fascism).

Carlson's actually quite bright, but you're not wrong overall sad to say.
