Why the republicans are destined to fail

Post #1

Post by thomasdixon »

Today the Republican party offers nothing constructive. No new ideas, no positive comments, just attack, attack, attack, while offering no constructive ideas.

The Republican’s will lose the midterms and the General Election because they are following a one liner going nowhere.

I here and now ask any Republican here to wake up, if you have any common sense, this is the time to user it. Wake up, be an American and not a Republicon,

If the Republicans win this time around our experiment in a democratic republic will be doomed.

The fact that socialism is to all intents and purposes an expression of democracy, where the benefits to the majority not the minority are what counts, is pretty much unknown to most.
And that, I'm fairly sure, is by design. Corporate media go out of their way to present the two market-worshipping major parties as our only options.

His policy has been hurting the country because his policy has been to let the elephants run amok with their policies. That is why his approval ratings have dropped.
This statement makes no sense. Let me get this straight - He (the current president of the U.S.) has a policy of letting the opposition (the GOP) initiate their policies and that's why his approval ratings have taken a nose-dive? Are you serious? The fact is, Biden has been busy reversing the policies of the previous administration since the day he took office. That, and his own ineptitude in leading a country among many other reasons are why this is the worse president this country has ever had.
If there are far-left socialist radicals in this country, they don't do anything "systematically".
Really? Antifa is organized and they riot and destroy property. BLM is organized and they riot and destroy property. Jane Was Here is firebombing pregnancy centers. Other groups of young thugs last summer took advantage of so-called peaceful protests to destroy property, set fires to police cars, and create mayhem. They were organized and well funded by unknown sources.
And if you think that "far-left socialist radicals" are any more vicious than window-breaking, police-assaulting, vice-president-threatening "patriots", then you should be paying more attention.
The January 6 incident is to be condemned. Any right-thinking person feels this way, including real "patriots."

Not enough to make up for those he has left in place.

None of that represents socialism, which is the means of production owned and controlled by those who do the producing.

I just spent over an hour replying to your post. Then, when I clicked on Preview my reply just disappeared, vanished! I don't think I did anything wrong, I think I was booted off the website through a glitch. At any rate, I have decided that I have better things to do with my time. Sorry. I am off the air. Best wishes.

I've had the same kind of thing happen to me. Frustrating.

Politics in the US is portrayed much like a sport and serious political discourse is all but absent from our TVs, the general public largely excluded from the discussions.
I don't know of an effective and practical way to get the general public involved in televised discussions. But maybe you do.
The political ads on TV recently make this clear, most of the ads are embarrassing to watch with their juvenile character attacks and staged images.
Agreed.
The fact that socialism is to all intents and purposes an expression of democracy, where the benefits to the majority not the minority are what counts, is pretty much unknown to most.
The problem is that it does not work well on a practical level. Wikipedia lists the current socialist states as China, Cuba, Laos, and Vietnam, but who wants to live there?
Trump tried to illegally overthrow this democracy yet you write "far-left socialist radicals are systematically trying to dismantle our beloved democracy" it seems facts don't matter any more!
Sure they do! Trump and his crowd of radicals were just as wrong as radical socialists are.
The US is becoming a population starved of truth, perhaps the most brainwashed nation on earth, the people are just pawns to the powerful who are artificially labelled "left" and "right" to maintain a pretense of difference when in many ways they stand for the same thing.
You leave me wondering what "the same thing" is. One thing is certain: truth cannot be had by confining your intake of news from one party or the other. I try to stay informed from various sources and listen to both sides make their claims, then form my own opinion based on that. I could still be wrong, of course, but at least I've tried.
The clown Trump is partly attributable to this, by starving the people of honest factual analysis and promoting pettiness it created an opportunity for someone like Trump a master of pettiness, sarcasm, abuse, name calling, lies to outdo the rest of them, if people are conditioned to see politics in a shallow and superficial manner then we must prepare for more Trumps.
People are smart enough to not allow one man (whether President or Pope) to starve them of facts that are clearly readily available. I, along with many Trump supporters have cringed at Trump's pettiness, sarcasm, and childish name-calling. You left out at least one more: narcissism. I don't think many people loved Trump for his bad character traits. But Trump was more than that. He had a spine and projected strength to the world. Do you think Putin would have invaded Ukraine if he was still in office? I don't. As soon as Trump left office Putin started massing troops on Ukraine's border. Under this administration, we have dumped billions of $$ in aid to Ukraine and it still looks like it's going under. Biden has opened wide our southern border to illegals and dangerous drugs such as fentanyl which has already killed thousands. Inflation is at a 40-year high and gas prices are twice what they were when Trump left office. This hurts the lower class much worse than the upper class. Murder and other violent crimes in Democratic cities have accelerated under Democratic Mayors and Attorneys General because they seem to care more for criminals than for victims. All of this has happened because of the policies of this White House and liberal cities. Trump's words were sometimes over the top, but most of his policies were helpful instead of hurtful to the country and its citizens.
Really this BS about "socialism" and "the left" is absurd in the face of long standing traditions like school buses and police.
The push toward socialism and the wanna-be policies of the extreme left is hardly BS to freedom-loving, democracy-loving people in this country. And guess what? We're the majority. As for "long-standing traditions like school busses and police" - I have no idea what the heck you're talking about.
I mean should people need Law Enforcement Insurance before they can expect their lives to be protected against danger?

Should a person's 911 call begin with handing over policy and coverage details before dispatching officers?
What a ridiculous notion!

So I rewrote my reply and tried to Preview it again and the same thing happened a second time. I was booted off as soon as I clicked the Previewtab. Only this time, I copied it before clicking Preview, which I will do from now on. If Otseng or any moderator reads this please reply here and let me know how to find a reply to questions sent through the normal channel. I don't even know if you replied to the question I sent a couple of weeks ago as I haven't been able to find it. I will get the hang of this eventually!

Socialism, the pooling of funds for the greater good, is what allows you to present this post.

And Trump never won a majority of votes on his way into, or out of office.
