Why Are There No Democrat Intellectuals?

[Concerned American]

How many criminals cases did Trump face?

Have you so soon forgotten about the 34 felonies that you've been crowing about for at least two years? Senile as well as obtuse?

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?

Here is from the OP.

I would counter this one with some questions I think need addressed.......but not citygator

The OP is asking some good questions........

And this is his super-intellectual response:

This is the most ridiculous post you’ve made in a long line of ridiculous posts.

How is it ridiculous? citygator does not tell us.

Are the questions being asked ridiculous? again...nothing.

Just more of the same...."I'm smart and you aren't" BS

But wait....she quotes.....a left leaning opinion leader (if I can call him that),

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.

From Todd

""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...."

BINGO....

Game....
Set.....
Match......

And city gator is at his end of the court with his racket stuffed up his ass trying to return the ball.

It's so funny.

 

[OODA_Loop]

Your brain is meaningless. I dont support "Trump". He is an asshole, stupid, and anti-democratic. I support moderate policies and can actually

The best argument for socialism at present is the vast disparity in wealth in the US between the workers and the top 10%.

Does this demand a government to make everything “equitable”?

 

[HikerGuy83]

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.

***ttygator indicated he's a master debater....no one will debate him.

I am ROTFLMAO......he's not posted anything of value or support for his claim.

He asks no questions of your OP....simply declares it

This is the most ridiculous post you’ve made in a long line of ridiculous posts.

And provides nothing to back up his point.

Talk about projection at it's finest.

[I really have to wonder if he's drinking or if he stepped away from his computer and his six year old is posting]

 

[HikerGuy83]

Sigh. More dancing. You guys never have a direct debate with me.

Wondering if this isn't Rosie O'donell after six screwdrivers.

 

[Concerned American]

How much time did he serve in prison?

Irrelevant. Did his money buy him an acquittal. Your argument wasn't very well thought out, LOL, I guess I shouldn't expect that from you.

What consequences did he face?

 

[Concerned American]

What consequences did he face?

Look it up, you've been crowing about it for years. Now stop with the stupid trolling questions.

 

[HikerGuy83]

What consequences did he face?

He was re-elected.

 

[Marener]

Look it up, you've been crowing about it for years. Now stop with the stupid trolling questions.

A guilty verdict with no consequences is no different than innocence.

 

[citygator]

Go back and read her post. You get one chance.

This kind of deflection is so like you when you are getting ***** slapped in both directions.

See above.......

This was her statement:

You shouldn't have used a religious term......only your party said their candidate is god, the messiah, jesus.

Your little montage means nothing.

I would expect it would be easy to find someone in power on the right who has called Trump something superhuman, but you (the almighty smart one ) didn't post it. Instead we get a bunch of TDS pictures.

This is how you work.

All the time.

You said I called him a God. Not one link did that. Nowhere was there a link to Obama saying God picked him for a mission. Trump said that. All those links were to people using flowery language about Obama. ONLY Trump said he was called by God for a mission.

On Truth Social, he equated the persecution he’s facing in legal battles to Christ’s suffering: “Christ walked through His greatest persecution the very week they are trying to steal your property from you…”

Rick Perry Says That Trump Is God's “Chosen One”

The outgoing energy secretary compares the president to a trio of Biblical kings during a 'Fox & Friends' interview.

​

1. Lance Wallnau, an influential evangelical associated with Christian nationalism, has depicted Trump as a “modern‑day Cyrus”—a biblical king anointed by God—with the “hand of God” guiding him. In October 2023, on The Jim Bakker Show, Wallnau said, “The hand of God is on him and he cannot be stopped,” framing Trump as an instrument of divine purposeen.wikipedia.org+11en.wikipedia.org+11vanityfair.com+11vox.com+2reuters.com+2en.wikipedia.org+2.
2. Guillermo Maldonado, a Florida megachurch pastor with GOP ties, called Trump’s presidency evidence of “the presence of the living God” and “divinely inspired” en.wikipedia.org.
3. Rick Perry, former Energy Secretary and governor, described Trump as God’s “chosen one,” likening him to Old Testament figures such as Saul, David, and Solomon, emphasizing a divine mandate for his role gq.com.
4. Franklin Graham, a major evangelical voice, declared at Trump’s January 2025 inauguration: “We praise [God] … look at what God has done,” for raising Trump to the presidency. Earlier, after Trump’s 2016 win, he directly said “God showed up” in that election en.wikipedia.org.

PolicalShit asked what question you feel went unanswered ?

 

[PoliticalChic]

The RINO's are shoving a behemoth spending bill down our throats, that going to create so much inflation and devalue the USD 10X more than we'll get from the tax cuts. And you're worried about the lack of democrat intellectuals?

WTF is wrong with you. You have DDS. Democrat Derangement Syndrome.
The F*CKING democrats are getting everything they want in this bill. Handed to them on a silver platter by the RINO's that you support and defend.

Is this along the same lines as your predictions about Kamala?

 

[Marener]

Only in your own addled mind to further your nonsensical narrative.

Great argument.

 

[YoursTruly]

Is this along the same lines as your predictions about Kamala?

LMAO.. You have democrat derangement syndrome. The GOP is spending us into bankruptcy, and all you can think about are the democrats.

 

[PoliticalChic]

LOL In other words, anyone that disagrees with your far right views is not an intellectual. LOL

Learn the truth: there is no Far Right in this country, only a Far Left.


There is no "radical Right," or Far Right, in this country, you simpleton.


only a Far Left called the Democrat Party.



Let me prove it.



....the only extremists in the nation are the Leftists/ Democrats

You will not be able to find any radical views on the Right.



"Radical" is important to the discussion. It means "especially of change or action relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough" (see Google.)



It's what the radical Obama was getting at when he said “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” — Barack Obama, October 30, 2008. “
Transforming from the positions that America was built on.....into the Far Left.




Radical positions as opposed to traditional ones identify "Far" Left



“Singer Macy Gray Says American Flag Should Be Abolished” Singer Macy Gray Says American Flag Should Be Abolished | The Daily Wire

“Transgender Athlete Chelsea Wolfe Says Goal Is To 'Burn a US Flag' at Olympic Podium”

Wolfe, who identifies as a transgender female, spoke to Fox News on Monday to explain her deleted post from March and said, "Anyone who thinks that I don't care about the United States is sorely mistaken."

www.newsweek.com










1. ... traditional marriage, that involves one man and one woman, and compare that with homosexual marriage.. Which one is radical?

2. Another of those positions under regular discussion is 'prayer' in the public arena....Congress opens each year with prayer. Opposing prayer is radical....religiosity is traditional in America.



3. Is 'free speech' embraced by one side, and opposed by the other? You betcha! Obama's Supreme Court nominee says it would be be proper to suppress speech because it is offensive to society or to the government.



Starting to see a pattern?



4. While we were founded on the biblical idea that all men are created equal,

LBJ advanced a two-class nation based on skin color.
....this radical view was advanced: affirmative action. Hence, Democrats....the Far Left.



5. Here's one more radical position by the Left....fighting to elect a sexual pervert and admitted liar and disbarred lawyer to the White House: Bill Clinton
Relative to American traditions, values, and history ...championing a man of such low character is a radical position.
Hence, Far Left..



6. Franklin Roosevelt threw the United States Constitution under the bus, and used the public fisc for all sorts of endeavors not authorized in Article 1, section 8.

A radical and Progressive position.
He was the ultimate "Far Leftist."



7. Under Franklin Roosevlet the federal government was transformed from one of limited & enumerated powers only to the Frankensteinian monster it is today. ....the regulatory welfare state where the federal government regulates business and commerce, natural resources, human resources, ...
Under the Progressives, the federal government was no longer limited by the enumerated powers delegated in the Constitution; ...



Radical to the utmost....hence Far Left.



8. Under Roosevelt's NRA, most manufacturing industries were suddenly forced into government-mandated cartels. Codes that regulated prices and terms of sale briefly transformed much of the American economy into a fascist-style arrangement,

"... into a fascist-style arrangement,..."
"A New Jersey tailor named Jacob Maged was arrested and sent to jail for the “crime” of pressing a suit of clothes for 35 cents rather than the NRA-inspired “Tailor’s Code” of 40 cents."
No surprise here: FDR's New Deal was a copy of Mussolini's economic program.



Could anything short of setting up concentration camps for our citizens, be more radical???



Oh...wait....he did build concentration camps for innocent civilians....his own citizens.



9. How about The Far Left's Gender-Agenda., versus the Right's stand for tradition and reality: "Republicans Battle to Roll Back Washington's New Transgender Bathroom Rules"

Really....could there be a more pertinent example of the radical, insane Far Left's corruption of tradition and history???



Could there?



10. The corruption of the press by the Far Left: the JournoList Scandal: hundreds of Leftist journalists plotted to minimize negative publicity surrounding Obama’s radical ties. They plotted to smear the other side with lies. Peter Zenger....spinnning in his grave.

A clear affront to the honor bestowed on the press by the first amendment.

And don't forget this winner......men can menstruate and have babies and women can become men.









And several times, I've presented this challenge: If you have used the fallacy "Far Right," or extremist for the Right, or radical Right, or never considered its usage, see if you can come up with any radical positions by conservatives, the right wing.

 

[Concerned American]

Great argument.

Thank you, it is 100% better than your nonsense.

 

[PoliticalChic]

LOL In other words, anyone that disagrees with your far right views is not an intellectual. LOL

I would like to see your response to this question:


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

... 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.
