You do know that democratic socialism isn't socialism or Marxism?
And that you can support people whose views arent your own in other areas while not becoming them? Or have I suddenly become a Muslim because I bought food at the corner shop thats owned by Muslims....right?


What a bunch of nonsense.

Our country wasn't shut down like it is now because we had leadership.
It's called the resist movement .they're always lying and attacking Trump so he defends himself so what's wrong with that?

I've never voted blue in my life (I'm pushing 47) but at least back in the day I could at least agree with some of the things the democratic party was putting out. Can't agree with nothing nowadays because it's Marxism. Are new yorkers really gonna vote in for a continuation of debozo and fredo's brother next time around all because fredo told you orange man bad?

Bad jokes aside, I'm interested at taking a peak at how your leftist brains work and the reasoning for voting blue. What's your most important issue and does that issue alone swing you left? What would you like to see from your next local leader, mayor, govornor regardless of party affiliation?

States are not equipped to deal with this kind of pandemic. We need a national plan.
Trump never mocked anybody wearing a mask. The CDC told people not to wear a mask and even the surgeon general said Don't wear a mask. Trump said hey if you got a scarf wrap it around way before Biden put on a mask. You listen too much to that crap News Network

Not an expat, true Canuckistani.

Why wouldn't it concern me? Were you never preoccupied with what happens in another country?

As a country, does the US refrain from voicing concerns about other countries or getting involved in foreign affairs?

Yes, because our nation's leadership dropped the ball and ignored all warnings until it was too late and we didn't even have enough for our medical professionals. At the time we didn't know as much about transmission and the effectiveness of masks so erring on the side of caution, the CDC's recommendation was that what few masks we had be used to reduce the chance that the only people in a position to treat the infected should have priority access to masks.

Take a civics 101 class and study it thoroughly.

You post nonsense and you embarrass yourself with your lack of understanding..

Believe it or not I mean this in a nice way.
No you don't. You are condescending and engaging in the same kind of juvenile insults Trump engages in.

This is not a question of civics, it is a question of character ... a question of ethical and moral leadership. Trump's character makes him unfit and that post above you criticize is spot on.

Trump is attacking our country ... all of us. You and I included.

We don't have to accept that from elected officials WHO WORK FOR US in a republic.

The man dishonors his oath of office, of course people would resist that. That he defends himself from scrutiny and criticism is to be expected, people always do and criminals are no exception.

To be clear, we have had poor leadership before, these people are only human after all, so we grin and bear it. But we haven't seen this sort of criminal intent since Nixon and this level of corruption ever, even under Grant's infamous administration. We haven't seen this level of neglect and malfeasance since Hoover.

Trump's raping of our country is like a perfect storm, naturally people will resist. That is why so many lifelong conservatives oppose Trump today, one does not have to be a liberal to see it.
