The USA is practically owned by Big Business, and they are certainly not going to allow Left wing economic policies.

The Left in America is basically the LGBT movement, and that’s it. On literally every other issue the Right has won, and is scoring new victories every week.
You forget that the left is also the "virtual" open borders crowd to and so far they are winning that battle. They are also winning all the "woke" and CRT policies to.

Wrong kind of people? Are you not aware that many whites are on food stamps to? Nice try at the race card though. By the way, are there only white farmers?

Medicare isn't socialism. Medicaid is!

We are beyond being able to do that.

Thanks to people like you. The oppressors.

AKA, the abusive spouse... "You want a divorce, *****?" Right hook to the jaw. "Well that's simply your wet dream." Smiles and pops open another beer.

That is NOT the current feelings of the majority of todays youth.
There's definitely a backlash against the fruitcakeness of the millennials and the older progressives. I have kids in school.

Even San Francisco recalled the nut they elected as DA.

Why don't we split the country into 2 nations?

Stupid idea.

Eventually many of the areas that are so-called 'conservative' will not be, and many of the areas that are so-called 'liberal' will not be.

Even the very definition of "right-leaning" or "left-leaning" changes over time. The up-front big issues change too. Nothing ever stays the same.

We are not going to be carving up our country over petty parochial differences every generation. We as a people move on and cope.

What do you think is going to happen when one day 60% want to abandon the constitution for a new socialist order and 40% want to keep the constitution? Democracy is majority rules, the 40% are going to see it as dissolving the nation and not just gonna go along.

Well technically that's what we have now except for Fed overreach..
