So why do Democrats keep selling us on election conspiracy bull**** and bull**** discrimination marches that have no basis in reality? Nobody is buying it!
It’s all they have. Eventually the lie they have been selling becomes a truth.

That's the only absolute truth in this discussion thus far. Rest is opinion and very subjective.

Me: I am enjoying the stock market gains. I am of the opinion it can't be sustained. I think that Obama's slow and steady (and unprecidented) growth over most of 8 years was good, and that such a huge hit as we've seen in 2017 will have to be corrected. It's not necessarily bad, just more volatile. If over the long run of 4 or 8 years of Trump, we have the same average growth, than that will be good.

Democrats and Republicans are not that far apart. It's the politicians that want to divide us. In general, I think "about" an equal number of people are buying what R's and D's are selling. What is interesting, and ENCOURAGING is that a growing number of citizens are not buying either. That's what really needs to happen.

You can thank the continuing depradations of the EPA on American refineries. Want clean air? So does everyone. Want cheap gasoline? You'll never see that in our lifetimes again.

It's always been sent overseas. Where do you come up with this stuff? (And I do not support Trump)

No it is not. It went to $150 under Bush and $100 under Obama and not because of fundementals.

That's why they have been suppressed by the voters.

There's no such thing as perfection, only the pursuit of it. The dems are always moving in the direction of concepts proven faulty over time.

Then they call it "Progressive".......well that's superior intellect for ya.

I’m questioning your own ability to view things clearly if you think Democrats and Communists are the same thing. That’s the equivalent of saying Republicans and fascists are interchangeable.

Nothing is ever all golden under any administration.

Uh no. Oil has always been a global commodity. We’ve always exported US oil and imported oil. The only thing Trump has done to impact the oil industry was remove regulations against off shore drilling. However I have yet to see any oil companies actually looking to drill off shore.

Yeah, more than half the voting populace are "buying" into the Dem's agenda.

And all those immigrants, legal and illegal, most of them will vote the D-ticket, each and every time.

What have these Democrats done for these minority groups? Behind every single sh*thole project is a Democrat politician. If Democrats cared about minorities they would advocate for the exact opposite of what they advocate for. More police to clean up their communities, less taxes and regulations so that jobs can return to these communities, more school choice so that these kids can get a quality education, less abortions so that black genocide can end, more minorities entering the military so that they can learn some discipline, a solid plan to rebuild the black family unit, less illegal immigration so that our poor doesnt have to compete with workers willing to work for peanuts. They are purposely keeping these people poor.

I believe the Dems have so much contempt for the sweaty masses that they represent, they think they will just accept whatever the leaders say. Unfortunately, they have been rightin the past.

I keep a glimmer of hope that this time, the sheep will choose the truth that is in front of their faces.
