It seems these Progressive Marxists don't have the vision to realize Democrat policies will severely damage their standard of living and quality of life. It will hurt the middle income earner and working poor drastically.

It's common sense. Example: We're trying to compete economically with countries who have no notion of worker rights or environmental concerns. That's why your iPhone (and just about everything else) comes from one of those countries. This means that jobs go overseas, execs at big companies make a fortune, but American workers are left out in the cold. I could go on, but this is really simple stuff.



BTW, you demands for "Provide specific examples of policies, use factual links & explain the outcome of those policies." is incredibly cowardly and lazy. I could use that same tactic in response to just about any post on any forum. No one is going to sit around all data and gather "proof" for stuff that's painfully obvious. If you're not willing to engage in rational discourse, fine - just don't expect to be taken seriously.

You don’t appear to get it. You make an absurd claim as fact, then it’s on you to provide the documentation to support your claim. If you instead deflect that simply shows everyone that your little claim is bunk & you know it. I find this to be the case over & over & over with those on the right.

Very nice to see America return to the world stage in a semi respectable manner. Average of 9 point improvement in the perception of the US in the countries polled by MC.

Many countries saw double digit increases when it comes to approval of the US.
America is once again everybody's favorite doormat!

Your a Leftist, why would you care about the National Security of the US?

You don't get. The left ignores facts (last summer's riots didn't actually happen), don't understand human nature (people will vote for someone who gives them free stuff), aren't smart enough to acknowledge that reduced law enforcement funding results in increased crime (based on empirical data from various locations, including NYC), and think stimulus money comes from a magic money tree. I find leftists to be repeatedly intentionally obtuse, completely disconnected from reality, and think projection is a valid debate technique. You're either deflecting or are guilty of all of the above.

And yet you still can’t provide examples of the policies you claim will destroy the country. Gee, I wonder why that is......

No, that's the other way around.

Do yourself a favor and learn about other countries. Read their newspapers. Get out of your toxic and limiting woke bubble.
