Why Democrats lost

[BuckToothMoron]

The democrats lost because they continue to bring logic, reason and compassion to a political knife fight and wonder why they are getting stabbed. Not sure there is a real solution to a political landscape made into a WWF style entertainment spectacle by opportunists and con-men. We cannot even talk about policy and issues anymore because none of you gives a damn about any of that boring shit, you would rather have some meaningless reality show drama than a dry policy discussion any day of the week.

Thanks for the laugh

What did he say that was wrong?

Oh, it was the logic and reason part that was wrong. Glad I could help.

This is exactly why Trump won.

1. The Democrats have been alienating white people for far too long, by continuing to support double standards on race issues that disenfranchises white people WHO ARE the Majority of Americans.

2. Americans are tired of trade deals with Mexico and China and other 3rd world countries while more and more and more unrealistic standards are demanded of the American population in increasingly competitive markets with fewer jobs available, and harsher, more excluding and more intimidating hiring practices being thrown in our path.
Americans are tired of it.

3. Americans are tired of being pushed out of their residences, because the democrats continue to support far too upscale of businesses that the people cannot afford to do business with, taking a foothold in less upscale neighborhoods.

4. The Democrats continue to threaten the Advancement of our Military technology by underfunding it.


And the Democrats refuse to budge.
So they can go fuck themselves.

Military spending is not a great investment in America.

When we invest in transportation, communication, education, etc., we become more productive, more competitive. The product we create is immediately useful in moving our economy forward. Corporations can take direct and immediate advantage of better transportation, communication and education. In fact, they are begging for that.

When we invest in building warships, warplanes, etc., for the military, the impact on our economy is limited to that actual infusion of our tax dollars only. With few exceptions, corporations can not use that military hardware to increase their own productivity.

Beyond that, a large part of our military spending goes to troops. Believe me, I like our troops. But, training and maintaining large numbers of personnel is not an advantage to our economy. It's not making us more productive to pay taxes in order to feed, clothe and train troops.

Let's remember that the Pentagon analyzed their own spending and found $100B in waste. Let's remember what conservatives say about government.

We need some military, but suggesting that our economy would be better off if only we spent MORE on our military is just plain not supportable.

Send untrained and less than the best equipped troops into combat, try it.
