I don't care for all the focus on transgender rights. Men who went through sex change should not be able to compete in women's sports.
I don't care about illegal immigrants. Just treat them humanely but there is no reason to welcome them. Keep them out humanely too.
If only more liberals and Democrats shared your views.

democrats do NOT agree on many things as opposed to the smaller rightwing side....i am also a liberal

but can probably write a better paper in defense of capitalism than a tump supporter...


once one realizes that many, many people have a world view that's filled with rightwing propaganda its easier to understand a trumper



i would keep much of the system intact and make incremental changes to enlarge social programs nothing drastic at all as the rights says....BECAUSE since the industrial revolution has freed man from much mindless labor and made the poorest American able to own a 25 inch TV something the king of France could not do (the french castles were so poorly ....


the results of much of this huge gain in productivity have been swallowed up by the upper class management in a backhanded "because they deserve it kind of way" but extreme wealth can be better broken down and dispersed by the workers ....


we seemingly have also been on a "wartime economy" since the 1930,s war materials for Britain began


so great was the fear of depression i believe we found ways to keep socialism for the military going


as thru fear its an easy sell...an example being the Marshal Plan it eased the fear of returning to the depression and made money fo american business

Again, here we go with the "facts" that are obviously bait and switch to cover an ideological agenda.

If the middle class is already paying for health insurance through employers, and most employers cover half or more of the cost, what is the actual net impact of moving to single payer, taxes + premiums net? It's not possible that it will cost more if you remove the insurance company profit motive.

If Nancy permitted such a thing.

The old bat knows that such a ticket wouldn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell of winning against Trump.

So I guess you can feel smug and morally superior because you voted against the mean orange one. And now you’ve ensured all those policies, which you don’t care about and disagree with, will be an albatross around our necks for a generation or more.

You are the problem.
