1. That means here, on the board. There certainly are Leftist intellectuals....Johnson actually wrote a book titled "Intellectuals." And, of course there was Kal Marx, Alinsky, Gramsci, Lenin, Mao......


2.Definition: An intellectual is a person who engages in critical thinking, research, and reflection about the nature of reality, especially the nature of society and proposed solutions for its normative problems. Google.



3.But here on the board, basking in the most beautiful aspect of America, free speech, we can't seem to get beyond cursing and juvenile tit-for-tats that don't address the pivotal aspect of our Left-Right views. Where are the "good point," or "I never thought of that" or "I don't agree because..."?
Where are the carefully posited view points, documented with important quotes and statements by names we all know and respect?
While this board could be college or grad school, it is largely junior high.



4.So where are the clearly written, well thought out, documented beyond simple opinion, OPs about why the Left/Far Left (that's the Democrat Party today) is better for America and Americans, and how they wil bring their plans to fruition? In an article today, Chuck Todd reveals that the Democrats have no ability to do any of those things, and voters who just vote for the party no matter what, are the same.


5. ""I think this is the identity crisis that the (Democrat Party has). I think it’s just a collection of people that don’t like Trump...."
This is a party whose sole platform since June 16th, 2015, when Trump descended the golden escalator at Trump Tower, has been hatred of a man they once revered.

They, quite literally, stand for nothing else. And their movement from center-left to radical far-left is just a sign of the intensity of that hatred growing ever more extreme."




Anyway, we could have a lot more stimulating discussions.......debated.
 
Come on, that’s kind of low to say there aren’t any lefty intellectuals….

Its demonstrable failure has removed any intellectual basis for socialism, turning it into little more than emotional nostalgia.
Well, recently I have posted a half dozen threads trying to get Democrat voters to discuss the intenal war in their party, and where they stand if the Far Left/communist element, which has always been about 49% of the party, takes over....if they will continue to vote Democrat.

Bernie, AOC, Mamdani are all over the news, and yet none of them will engage or answer the question.


Or make the argument for socialism.
 
Another dumb thread by the village idiot. Critical thinking is something right-wingers don't do.
Well, let's test the idea on you:


I know you are a Democrat, but of the Left, or the Communist Left.

I trust you are brave enough to answer this question:

If the direction of the Democrat Party, nationally, mirrors that of Mamdani, Bernie, and AOC, will you vote Democrat?



Mamdani proposed increasing taxes on white neighborhoods –
A document on his website explains the policy idea to “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.”

Mamdani is already leaning into his socialist views, telling CNN that he has “many critiques of capitalism.

….he would eliminate fares on all city buses

......he plans to address the cost of food by creating city-owned grocery stores that will pay no rent or property taxes, buy and sell at wholesale prices from centralized warehouses and partner with local vendors to keep prices down.

.... raise NYC's minimum wage to $30



"Pressed on whether New York’s Jewish population could depend on him to protect them with antisemitic attacks on the rise in the United States, the candidate answered emphatically: “Antisemitism is not simply something that we should talk about."www.the-independent.com



Zohran Mamdani’s political positions, from Trump and ICE to Israel
Progressive shocks front-runner Andrew Cuomo in New York City mayoral race with stunning upset
www.the-independent.com www.the-independent.com



... won the New York City primary race because of his support for Palestine,









I am looking for thinking Democrats, who understand what WaPo wrote:

The Post agrees, and they give the entire game away in their headline: Zohran Mamdani’s victory is bad for New York and the Democratic Party.




Where do you stand?

One can’t intellectually defend the indefensible.

This is the most ridiculous post you’ve made in a long line of ridiculous posts. Every debate I have had with you ends with you running away in cowardice.

The evidence is very clear that the less educated one is the more MAGA they are.

Ha! When every democrat is an Intellectual, how can you expect any to stand out as such?

Please stay active in politics.

It's people like you who breath threads from the safety of your keyboard and blather about things you know nothing about.

We need you posterboys front and center.

It's going to make continuing to kick your asses like we did in 2024 all the easier. By the time we are done, you are going to have to find a job and learn how to take care of yourself. And anyone who is stupid enough to listen to you is going to be pissed at you for lying to them and convincing them they somehow are entitled to something.

The Constitution will reign again and you'll be left wanting to go to Cuba in hopes they'll feed your oversized ass and ask nothing in return.
