Joe Biden Swears That He Is Not A Socialist

[bripat9643]

You can't think of a single step we might be able to take to increase transparency and reduce corruption in government? I could think of some things, but my intuition tells me that you're not really open-minded to it so I don't know that I want to bother.

Sure, I can think of some, but I also know that politicians and bureaucrats will fight them every step of the way.

The empirical evidence shows they work just fine. In many cases, reality is black on white. However, there are always demagogues like you trying to obscure the facts.

There isn't a country on Earth that's purely free market based.

I believe we can beat them and achieve those things. Nobody said it will be easy though.

Who is responsible for those assholes being there in the first place? It's not impossible. I will never accept that.

Turds like you are responsible, and you will never go away.

 

[Anomalism]

So you really dont know they would work or not. Sounds like you are being what you accused me of being

On some level we are all basing things on our intuition, or will you not admit that?

Which goes back to me saying 10 minutes ago America is full of idiots.
These stupid mother fuckers thought the solution to a lying, immature blowhard, was electing a dementia ridden liar that shits his pants. he cant even walk down a sidewalk without being re-navigated.
You think America is going to break a 100 year tradition and vote in decent minded, non corrupt people? No.
And the younger generations answer to all this is fucking bar tender types that thinks we can pay for 10 trillion dollar policy changes by making banks print more money. Yes, she actually said that.
You cant depend on corrupt assholes to reign in their corruption. You cant depend on Americas citizens to change. So whats left?

True enough. In 1776 there wasn't a single democracy on planet earth. There also isn't a single dog that has never had fleas. Does that mean fleas are beneficial for dogs?

In this thread, I am basing my opinion on current and historical trends.
You dont have that luxury.

Stupid people are definitely a challenge and an obstacle. I'm just not going to give up.

You're naive. Corruption is as endemic to government as fleas are endemic to dogs. There are natural forces that make government inherently corrupt. You naive ideals won't change that.

Human labor is becoming less and less valuable because of technology. That's just one thing that will make some kind of government intervention mandatory.

I base things on empirical facts. There has never been a non corrupt democracy, period.

You are more optimistic than I am. I gave up when i realized this has been happening for generations and we are only getting worse.

Of course he's not a socialist. What a ridiculous claim.

Might as well call him a doody head for all the meaning it has

 

[Dogmaphobe]

He's about as moderate as moderate gets.

For those of you who see Rachel Levine as your ideal woman, any way.
