We have a straight pride month where we have parades with half naked married couples walking down the street?
Have you been to the beach lately?
Or NOLA during Mardi Gras?
Half-naked people don't bother you when they are straight.
Completely false. The “rich” orthopedic surgeon living down the road from you has done what to cause such hatred?
Well, he's made health care unaffordable for a lot of people, so there's that.
Harping on things that have long been adjudicated and resolved is a waste of time. Nobody is pushing for a comeback of slavery, though it is still a thing in some parts of the world.
No, we are finding new ways to screw with black people. Hey, let's get rid of the Voting Rights Act, there are too many uppity negros in Congress!!!
China is Communist. Their workers are heavily exploited. Why use them as a shining example of anything?
Because they are winning?
The problem with your old thinking is that you see our unnecessary conflict with China as "Capitalism vs. Communism". The reality is, when you spend 4 trillion a year on entitlements (most going to the middle class), you are more socialist than you want to admit. China is a lot more capitalist than anyone cares to admit, either.
No, the real problem between America and China is that we are a democracy, and they are a technocracy. While we elect idiots like Trump based on their ability to be popular by harping on non-issues, Xi is in charge of China because he's simply the most capable guy they have.
While Trump appoints idiots like RFKrazy and Kegseth to positions they aren't qualified for due to their ability to toady to him, China appoints the most capable people to leadership roles.
Democracy works when the voter takes his role seriously. We aren't doing that now, and it shows. So every day, you'll get on this board and come up with excuses for the latest crazy thing Trump has done, even if it contradicts the crazy thing he did two months ago that you defended vigorously.
The squad is running our party. Schumer is their lap dog.
Not really. As the other guy pointed out, Israel and Ukraine are still getting their bags of money.
