US Politics

Yep, they've moved too far left with the name-calling, bullying, and labeling everyone who disagrees with their SJW platform a racist, sexist and homo/zeno/islamophobe etc nonsense and have alienated a bunch of regular working class white people, who also happen to be the majority.

(aka white working class democrats) are worse than republicans because they're helping the capitalist "1%ers"

posted this more than a year ago, and the article was right, these are the Obama voters who flipped it for Trump in all those formerly blue bastions.

and they want to call them racist, and raise their taxes..

prediction: dems go "populist progressive" in 2020 and will be defeated again, by a bigger margin.

Yes that's right. All we need is for Cenk "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A PROGRESSIVE IS!!!" Uygur to tell us what the Democrats should do. He is one of the top ten reasons why they lost support in a demographic that they should have owned. His aggressive and condescending tone is nauseating at best. It would take a special type of tool to enjoy the garbage he spews.

Having said that, I think political promiscuity should be encouraged. Except for registered voters (and I don't see why someone would do that in today's world), everyone else should be free and willing to change support depending upon their immediate priorities. Political loyalty is seriously over-hyped as a virtue; in fact I don't think it is a virtue at all.

Ever wondered who made it as a virtue?
It's not the republicans but the democrats with their holier than thou attitude of how they are better than the savage hillbilly republicans.

It's eerily similar to how Congress, Left, TMC, SP, BSP etc treat BJP & it's supporters in India.

How can parties treat people as garbage just because they don't support your thinking and yet expect the same people to vote for you?!

Condescending attitude towards opponents is a different issue. Not pledging lifelong allegiance applies to the average voter who must evaluate each party/candidate as per their own priorities. So if the economy is my priority, I should be able to assess what each party brings to the table on the issue. Same applies to security, immigration, etc.

It is not to say that there is no hierarchy of desirability among issues. It is for each voter to identify their hierarchy using both information and good sense.

Absolutely agree with you.

Now the question is, who made it about people and not the issues? When I look at the democratic loonies running amok in US, curtailing even free speech just because the speaker happens to support republican, what should I think?

Couple of weeks back, these loonies in an university disbarred all whites from campus as symbolic protest of "white oppression". I am not making up this shit man. This really happened.
Imagine you are a white voter looking at this.......

Yeah - These left loonies ensured a looney entered the white house.

Refer to the work of Jordan Peterson in this area. Very relevant, although he is Canadian. Standing up for free speech.

What is happening today in American universities is essentially postmodernism run amok. Safe spaces, trigger warnings and micro-aggression are distopian concepts - they will take us towards an Orwellian future.

If you are a student at an American University then I suggest you organize others who share your views and stand up to these crypto-fascists (yeah I know I labeled them, bit it so happens that's exactly what they are).

It's not just the universities man.

Other day, I was watching a debate on CNN, the whole point of the debate was why a 40 year old man dressed as a 5 year old girl, (This man apparently feels like a 5 year old girl inside) is not allowed to enter a girls bathroom to use it.
The CNN anchor was actually saying since this person feels like a girl inside, this person should be allowed to use girls rest room.

Welcome to the brave new world. Where you cannot expect a 40 year-old to adhere to simple rules if they happen to be in the Western world. Now contrast that with what would happen to this person if they were anywhere in less developed nations.

Is it a wonder that so many people consider it the ultimate achievement to migrate? I just wish that people are able to comprehend the ethos of a system that allows such liberty. If one cannot integrate into a society that offers such freedom, then I don't know what one desires out of life.

 

[bhimram]

I watch this video and I understand why Democrats are finished.

 

[Gomig-21]

Didn't Ted Nugent tell Trump he should kill Clinton and Obama? lol, not much different than what Jonny Dep said. Many of these celebrities are nuts, anyway. Both parties are insane and partisanship seems to be at its peak. I thought it was bad during Bill Clinton's days, but got worst with W and even worst with Obama. Now it's at a new, unprecedented high with this clown.

If the AHCA gets passed by the senate, the Dems will have taken their greatest hit to date. It will be interesting to see if the Republicans get together on this one. Small margin of nays is a great hurdle for them.

Poll: Trump's approval rating plummets after Senate releases health care bill

William Steakin

President Donald Trump's approval rating plummeted over the weekend as controversy continues to swirl around Senate Republican's revised health care bill.

Just 38 percent of Americans now say they approve of the job the president is doing in office, a drop of four points in just three days, according to the latest Gallup survey released on Sunday.

Trump's disapproval also increased by three points up to 57 percent.

After sinking as low as 37 percent a few weeks ago, Trump's numbers bounced back last week, reaching as high as 42 percent approval -- a near month-long high for the president.

However, the president's approval rating began to dive again following the backlash that erupted after Senate Republicans released their revised Obamacare replacement bill.

Not only has the bill faced harsh criticism from Democratic lawmakers, but top Republicans in the Senate including Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee all revealed in a joint statement they were "not ready to vote for this bill."

"There's no way we should be voting on this next week. No way," Republican Sen. Ron Johnson said on Sunday. "I have a hard time believing Wisconsin constituents or even myself will have enough time to properly evaluate this, for me to vote for a motion to proceed. So I've been encouraging leadership, the White House, anybody I can talk to for quite some time, let's not rush this process. Let's have the integrity to show the American people what it is, show them the truth."

The president, however, says he remains confident health care reform will get done, and soon.

"I don't think they're that far off. Famous last words, right? But I think we're going to get there," Trump said in an interview Sunday on FOX News' "Fox & Friends."

If we go by the left media projections of Trump's approval ratings, which have been "plummeting" for past 6 months, the ratings should be in negative by now, or near ZERO.
