The Democrat party continues to hurt themselves

[ElmerMudd]

Do these adjectives currently describe today's Republican Party as well?

no

 

[IM2]

I feel the farther the democrats go to the left the less success they will have.

Democrats have not gone far to the left. Republicans have gone so far to the right that moderates look like the far left. People say they voted for lower prices, so it's not about left or right. Trump is not lowering prices, so what Democrats need to do is stop listening to Republicans telling us what we should do.

Specifically, who does he hate.

Everybody who is not white.

 

[Missourian]

Everybody who is not white.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Many people today want things handed to them and think the "rich" should do it.

You think Trump is a true conservative, a true Republican. You have to be kidding.
In his first term he increased the debt more than any one term President. That is not conservative.
Conservatives/ Republicans believe in a free market economy. Tariffs restrict a free market.
Conservatives/Republicans have strong family values. A man with 5 kids with 3 wives and multiple affairs, who brags about grabbing women by the ***** does not represent conservative values.
Conservatives believe in the rule of law. Jan 6th, convicted felon, ignoring the the judicial department are not following the rule of law.
I could go on.

Trump did spend too much. I agree.
You would have a point on tariffs if the labor in third-world countries was the same cost as America and if other countries p;ayed fair. They don't.
The other was a locker room JOKE.

American businesses took advantage of cheap labor to manufacturer their products and part of the cost savings was passed on to the consumer. Tariffs take away any advantage for the consumer to save money from cheap labor plus they have to pay tax on top of that. If manufacturing does come back to the USA some of that would be mitigated but the US consumer will still pay more.

Trump was on a bus with a person he hardly knew. That is not locker room talk, that is an old man trying to impress a young man.

You're right, but your party doesn't care. As you've seen here, the true believers will shun you for your moderate views. It's too late for you.

What really happened is America imported tens of millions of third-worlders who took the jobs citizens WOULD DO if they were paid a fair wage.

They raided a meat plant and arrested scores of criminal illegals who were running a criminal ring recently. That made for many job openings. Scores of citizens applied for the openings.

Are you saying we should compete with slave wages?

No, the manufacturer pays good USA wages to USA citizens. That added cost will be built into selling price. The consumer pays more.

You want your cake and eat it too. It is not going to happen.

The fact is that what's going on is unnecessary. Those illegals pay 100 billion in taxes and that's basically free money for things they don't get.

Racism hasn't disappeared. This forum shows that every day. You're an example. You racists really have some kind of gumption to declare that racism has disappeared while you practice it in our faces.

The rich are the ones getting things handed to them and they want more.

Right, we are handed the tax bill for all the fat ass lazy moochers.

No, YOU are the fat, lazy moochers.

So you like slaves so you can buy stuff.

The studies you rely on are from immigration advocates and open borders groups. The net costs for illegals are substantially more than they pay in state and federal taxes that some don't get back. (Illegals DO get federal and state taxes all back because of their low-income tax bracket).

The liberal studies do not include the costs of schooling, free lunches, bilingual teachers, bussing, 100% free medical, dental, and vision for their children, welfare, and housing assistance.

All that being said, they never factor in the burden of having to have tens of thousands of highly paid government employees and prisons to house the many heinous criminals.

The fact he won a democratic vote that has panicked the party establishment should mean nothing, I agree. One can have too much democracy, don't you think?

The founders certainly thought so.

Hi is just another dummy socialist/commy. Whenever rent controls are enacted they reduce supply. Who in the hell wants to construct low-income housing and have some commy mayor tell him he can only charge what the commy says? Low-income people are low income because of their mindset that they are entitled to things just because they exist. They shirk study, and hard work, drink to excess, do drugs, and commit crimes.

In housing projects, they don't take care of anything on their own. they live in filth that attracts rats and cockroaches, break windows and doors, and then complain to the owner about the deplorable condition of the unit, even going so far as to sue the owner. (This is how Obama strong-armed apartment owners in lawsuits).

This idiot and others like him want 200,000 low-income housing and want to tax others for the privilege. When the inevitable happens and apartment building owners flee the state and existing units lie vacant because the owner can't afford to rehab it after the tenant's carnage and there is a worse shortage, idiot ,socialists and commies will say:

Whi knew??

I get it we should have no laws. No border.
Want to kill someone, go ahead. Want to go to Canada or vist Mexico for for a year no one should ask for a visa or passport.
The funny thing is people want to pick and choose what laws they want to obey. They think it is fine to have laws just not ones that get in the way.
We have ways to legally gain entry into the U.S. We have have ways to legally be allowed to stay in the U.S.
The way laws are supposed to work is if you break the law you pay the penalty. You do not get rewarded because because someone needs a house cleaner or gardener. You do not reward them because the democrat cult needs more people to help increase their presence in congress.
