The endless nonstop raging on about Trump.

[Heyo]

I don't know about you, but I feel the candidates are not chosen by the common citizen, they instead are presented by somebody else in power for the common citizen to choose from.

Like the DNC not allowing a candidate who was slightly left to the middle? (Really unfair, if not criminal, in 2016 and with a legal trick in 2020.)
Sanders is often slandered as a Socialist when he is just a Social Democrat (Social Democrats are big centre left parties in Europe). He is far away from a Marxist or Communist. But he is still too far left for the Democratic party in the US. That should tell you something about your Overton window and the danger of Communism.

 

[Heyo]

The new green deal with its real intent via its riders and earmarks that the Democrats covertly sneak in with almost everything they push through.

Specifically that which is deemed as , "The treadmill of production" ergo state run capitalism.

The Green New Deal is the left’s most ambitious program on offer. Yet as written, it contains deep limitations.

I don't understand your fear or your argument here. The article is a critique from someone who is on the left of the dems (and has no political power) that the GND isn't going far enough.
Do you fear that the author and other could come to power? Given the political reality in the US I'd call that an irrational fear.

An anthropological interpretation is that in the US there is a feminist dictatorship that means to undo the patriarchy; and they have decided that the patriarchy is embodied by the heterosexual, white, Christian man who is proud of being straight.
Trump is very proud of that.

Honestly I have never seen such a thing in Europe. In Europe the topics are the euro, immigration, the ECB, the banks, etc...

Is that so? Dutch election: Anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders wins dramatic victory

No. Sanders is a socialist. Ergo his membership in DSA.

Your ignorance and denial is astounding, givin the acronym for the DSA is this...

Democrat

Socialists

Of

America

Please be more attentive in the future when you actually know what you are talking about.

You realize words don't have magical power, and that they are often invoked precisely because they refer to what is not present?

 

[Twilight Hue]

I think that your complaining about others griping about Trump is ironic and disingenuous after I searched your posts for "left wing," "Democrats," and "nanny state." Not to mention how many times you mentioned Biden (either Joe or Hunter) in your posts. I looked at more than 10 pages of your posts containing these words. Given how many times you've included them in your posts, perhaps you should reconsider accusing others of chronic raging.

My count is nothing compared with others.

Please make a tally of my posts and tell me who rages most.

Hint:

It's not me. Not by a long shot.

Tell me that he is not a member with the DSA and we can talk about what is or is not present.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Talk to anyone not living in the U.S. and they will tell you the same thing. Just watch some international news sometime, you will see.

Well the US is not other countries.

It doesn't matter who rages the most. The point is that you are guilty of the same behavior and yet complain about others doing the same.

There is a word for that, and it is hypocrisy.

If you noticed , my posts are responses towards the majority to the raging of others.

You won't find me making endless after endless threads about Biden as those who are chronically afflicted with massive TDS and can't control themselves.

Opinions matter as well. I'll post any articles that I agree with.

Same as many others who do so.

Good example.
Wilders is famous for talking about EU and immigration.
Nobody has ever spoken of his sex life.
No one cares in Europe.

 

[fantome profane]

Fair point. But still you need some basis of comparison. Left and Right are relative directions. When you describe something as "far left", what is that comparison to? Left of what?

Americans are anal about sex.

It's true Europeans could care less about their leaders indiscretions.

It comes across that Europeans care more about governmental policy, not foreplay and entertainment of an adult nature concerning their leadership.

The religious right was there long long before Reagan.
And it was worse. Before Reagan, we had compulsory
Christian prayer required in public schools.

Yes, but that was the last time they crawled out from under their rocks since the Scopes trial. They are no hiding anymore and are fighting for power and control.

Freudian slip?

Well based on policies that don't reflect and incorporate political socialism as opposed to plain social programs void of socialist elements, such as governmental takeovers of industry , and telling them in no uncertain terms of what they can and cannot produce as if the government owns and controls the industry itself.

That's one canary in the mine as far as I'm concerned as to how far left or how far right anything is.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Freudian slip?

Naw. A funny actually.

I'm not into olfactory adventurism.

 

[exchemist]

"Good chaps"? I think America has run on the "good ol' boys theory of government," which is a bit different, I think.

The difference comes down to respect for institutions. The irony of the situation in both our countries is that it is the so-called conservatives that are treating traditional institutions with contempt.

When I was 12, I was traumatized that the news about the Clinton and Lewinski affair had become a political issue.
On a global level.
