Why Are There No Democrat Intellectuals?

[Cassandro]

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

The evidence is very clear that Democrats have lower IQs than Republicans.

 

[toobfreak]

The evidence is very clear that Democrats have lower IQs than Republicans.

But it is more than that.

• They also suffer emotional immaturity.
• Lack of independent thinking.
• Mental illness including sociopathy, neuroses and psychoses.
• Attractiveness to freaks, degenerates, and liking to dress up in women's clothes.
• People tend to grow out of being a democrat as they grow up and gain a mind.

 

[Mac1958]

Holy crap, this thread is just dripping with MAGA elitism.

Funny, I remember when they used to HATE the elites.

But they're the smart ones! They must know what's right!

WRONG. You are all for Democrat Party ideas, not democracy; if you were for democracy, you'd be supporting Trump now. And as to democracy, which means mob rule, the 2024 election showed Trump to be the mob now. He won the popular vote by millions, so you have no respect for democracy.

The Right wing is for our Republic. We are a republic of laws, with mere democratic underpinnings, that is what threw you off. The law is the thing, law is a process, and laws don't always take everyone's views, wishes, or needs the same.

But then, Democrat's don't take the views, wishes, or needs of 60% of the country at all.

I support actions not people. I am not for tariffs which tax poor consumers the most. I am for supporting israel and dealing humanely with Palestinians. I am for tax cuts for those making $75k and under but not for rolling back taxes for the wealthy and I could go on and on. What I am mostly against is the attempt to demonize people like they are trying to ruin the country or turn to crazy communism because I think the rich should bare the burden of taxes when they (we) have all the wealth. Trump is a dumbass but I will support actions that make sense. "they are eating the cats.. .they are eating the dogs" bullshit is ridiculous.

I support actions not people.

Meaningless.

I am not for tariffs which tax poor consumers the most.

Tariffs don't do that.

I am for supporting israel and dealing humanely with Palestinians.

Whatever that means.

I am for tax cuts for those making $75k and under but not for rolling back taxes for the wealthy and I could go on and on.

Eeah.

What I am mostly against is the attempt to demonize people like they are trying to ruin the country or turn to crazy communism because I think the rich should bare the burden of taxes when they (we) have all the wealth.

So you are against everything the left has been doing for years.

Trump is a dumbass but I will support actions that make sense. "they are eating the cats.. .they are eating the dogs" bullshit is ridiculous.

Meaningless.

 

[citygator]

Meaningless.

Your brain is meaningless. I dont support "Trump". He is an asshole, stupid, and anti-democratic. I support moderate policies and can actually explain why to boneheads like you who dont understand English very well.

Tariffs don't do that.

Yes. They. Do. Tariffs are paid by US companies who raise the prices to customers. Those are regressive taxes.

Whatever that means.

It means you dont understand English.

Eeah.

You have no logical position on taxes.

So you are against everything the left has been doing for years.

Childish words typed for your circle jerking.

Meaningless.

Your brain is meaningless. Just like Trump's ruminations on how the Civil War led to the Declaration of Independence in his office.

Heck, the debate pretty much ended.

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."

Chuck Todd Finally Figures Out the Problem With the Democratic Party and Thank You Captain Obvious

Chuck Todd analyzes the Democratic Party's identity crisis post-Trump's victory.

redstate.com

Anyway, we could have a lot more stimulating discussions.......debated.

Heck, the debate pretty much ended. When those loons called me a racist for disagreeing with Obama's policies in 2008.

 

[toobfreak]

I dont support "Trump". He is an asshole, stupid, and anti-democratic.

Yet apparently smart enough to whip the left's ass every time.

I support moderate policies

So you really oppose everything democrats think and do.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

You didn;t kick nyone's ass, period, you wish but all you did was staay at home.

Here’s one of them there intellectuals now.

 

[imawhosure]

How about trying your hand at a question of great importance to your party and to the country:


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?=============================================

Why are yous guys so shallow and pedantic that it is not even a job to diss yous.

It’s a pretty silly question. Obviously there are democratic intellectuals, lots of them.

For some reason you don’t think they count.

This is a lie. The right wing has lost all respect for democracy. I am for democracy. Only the Democratic party reflects democratic ideas even if it is a broad tent. I am an American. You are 0-1 with a ridiculous attempt to set up a strawman that I am some kind of communist supporter. What a troll by someone pretending to be an intellectual and pretending to be a chic.

Bernie, AOC and Mamdani are not a homogenous group. The reason you selected them is because you want to create a false narrative. All of them represent very small constituents, with Mamdani potentially representing the largest and even he was a binary choice of institution vs youth. Their most radical ideas arent in the democratic platform. The party is a broad tent reflecting freedom and choice.

He poorly worded the idea that the poor minority areas are overtaxed. You cant see passed your basic position that anything that doesnt favor whites is actually the racism. Its a point made by the insecure and uniformed.

There are lots of critiques of unmoderated and unregulated capitalism. I share them even though I make a really good living in capitalism.

Anyone of average intelligence can distinguish between support for innocent Palestinians and anti-Semetic language. What a cop out. This is intellectualism to you?

Mz PC, asking where are the Leftist intellectuals is an excellent question. As was stated---------->Mr Dershowitz is one, but of course, they now disown him, lol.

Maybe, you should ask where are the SLIGHTLY intelligent LEFTISTS on this site, that could actually argue their position!

There isn't any! What you have on here, is the D, or the F team, put forth by the DNC, because this site is to small to worry about in the world according to LEFTIST DNCers. What you actually have is------------>3, 4, or maybe 5 LEFTIST loons with a bunch of socks, trying to eat by getting 2 or 3 cents a post, while trying to convince people that their side has more people supporting it. They are sooooooooo weak and dumb, they post 1 sentence in all responses, and think we can't see through them, hahahahahaha!

And look at the D-F team they send---------->IM2dumbtoknowanything, the king/queen of 1 sentence SAPPHIRE MOONGLOW, the weakest 1 with the least cred......and none of them have any cred, so that tells you how weak this individual is....Marener.

But then, when the F team crashes and burns, they quickly bring in the upscale D team, lol. Who is that? Citysewer system, and the CHARMING and DELIGHTFUL MACAFLOOZY, both DIMBULBS, but brighter than the rest of them, lolololol. They both have SOCKS to come on here as needed under different names........ESPECIALLY FLOOZY............but many of us know who is-)

In any case MZ PC, may I suggest that you........and everyone else look at the posts by LEFTISTS on here......the 1 liners. Now being thinking individuals, do you think they are trying with all that exertion of 1 line over and over to change anyone's mind, or rather......trying to score for their 2 or 3 cents a post per rules of the DNC, hahahahahahahahah!

If for NO other reason, this is EXACTLY why all of these people I have mentioned, deserved to be LAUGHED off this board! They aren't trying to discuss what we need to do with our country, they are trying to get PAID........and doing a pi** poor job of it too, I might add! Just think------------>if we CUT OFF their 2 or 3 cents a post, they might actually have to go get, REAL JOBS! If I had to bet, I would put money down they would NOT last a week-)

OK, let's try again.

The Democrats are the Left, or, half of them are the Far Left, Bernie, AOC and now Mamdami.


The usual Democrat are battling for control of the party as you can see from the WaPo headline.

He lost my respect when he defended his good friend Jeffrey Epstein.

You guys live in a pretty tight media bubble so it’s really not surprising that you’re never exposed to any real thought outside of if.

Can you post were he defended Epstein?

 

[Marener]

I

Can you post were he defended Epstein?

Alan Dershowitz helped Jeffrey Epstein get a plea deal. Now he’s tweeting about age of consent laws.

“I’m going to continue to speak out until the day I die,” the Harvard Law professor told Vox.

Simply question really.....will you still vote Democrat if the Marxist, anti-Semite faction takes total control?


Will you consider voting for the other party?
