    Re: What has happened to the Democratic party?

    Do you on the Left support the burning, looting and rioting in the streets??? Do you honestly support Biden/Harris??/ Or..... do you just hate Trump that much????

    What do you honestly think that Biden/Harris will do for this country that is so far above what Trump will do??? WHY do you support Biden/Harris over Trump??? What good do you see coming from a Biden/Harris administration???

    Not trying to piss you off.... just trying to understand where you are coming from.

    Yeah, lets spend all that blood and treasure and just return it all to the Taliban and the new al Qaeda aka ISIS. Maybe they can pull off another 9/11?

    Basic competency. Like actually being able to issue an executive order or legislative proposal that isn't struck down in multiple courts because the WH doesn't understand how government works.

    Staffing of government departments and agencies. Keeping functional cabinet level positions filled for more than 4 months.

    An outside shot that their administration will respond to someone aside from the wealthiest donors. O doubt it, but I know this administration doesn't.

    A consistent and coherent foreign policy agenda. The current administration's signature achievement of talking with NK was a photo op and then "rocketman" went right back to doing his usual nonsense. In the past 3 weeks there have been multiple contradictory reports on if troops are coming home, when that might be, or if more troops are going.

    This administration fails to do simple basic stuff well. I'm not talking any specific political philosophy. I mean they just don't do the basic drudgery of their jobs proficiently. Why would I continue to trust them with complex stuff?

    Re: What has happened to the Democratic party?

    Trump the stable genius:

    Fact-checking the dangerous bin Laden conspiracy theory that Trump touted

    (CNN) — President Donald Trump is no stranger to conspiracy theories. Before Trump was even elected, he spent years pushing birther lies about President Barack Obama, the first Black president of the United States.


    This week he amplified articles and videos promoting another completely baseless theory about Obama.



    On Tuesday, Trump retweeted a post from an account linked to QAnon, a
    collective of online conspiracists, which has since been suspended. The tweet alleged "Biden and Obama may have had Seal Team 6 killed," Osama Bin Laden was still alive, and that the man killed in the Obama-directed raid lead by Seal Team 6 was actually a body double.
    https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/15/polit...eck/index.html


    That's right, Trump actually tweeted that.

    Okay ... and you honestly think that Biden can/will be successful on these fronts? I guess I just don't see what you see in Biden/Harris.

    I know the current folks are basically the keystone cops. Even if you think Biden's brain dead, he's got a record of being able to accomplish basic job functions or at least appoint someone who can.

    4. Illegal crossings at the southern border have risen dramatically after a fall




    5. May saw the highest number of migrants for more than a decade




    6. A lot of illegal immigration is from visa 'overstayers'

    FBI says Iran behind threatening emails sent to Florida Democrats

    Both Iran and Russia had obtained some Americans’ voter registration information, John Ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence, said.

    Kevin Collier
    Kevin Collier is a cybersecurity reporter based in New York City.

    Oct. 21, 2020, 7:49 PM EDT

    Iranian intelligence was responsible for a recent campaign of emails sent to intimidate Florida voters, the FBI announced Wednesday night, adding that Russia was also working to influence the election.

    The emails ominously
    instructed
    Democratic voters in Florida to switch to the Republican Party and purported to come from the Proud Boys, the right-wing group of Trump supporters that became a flashpoint during the first presidential debate.

    Doubtful as that assessment is, let's assume it's true. It would still be far better to have someone who is incompetent at doing nothing, than someone who is able to accomplish basic job functions in order to implement bad ideas and ruinous policies. Even more reason why you shouldn't vote.

    Good to see you're only in favor of the Democratic process if people past a certain ideological purity test. I feel like there's a word for that belief...

    Call me whatever word you want. If what you are in favor of is imposing stupid shit on the rest of us - then I could care less about the manner in which you get that garbage the fuck out of here, as long as you get it the fuck out of here.

    Joe has no mind of his own. Hes playing prevent D right now. Avoiding any questions other than ice cream flavor. 15 years ago he was poorest senator, now worth millions thanks to china, ukraine. Biden and genius have never been used in a sentence. Picking camala sealed his fate. Ask yourself why is he hiding, why did media squash freedom of speech to protect him. Besides being senile dude is a pathological liar and corrupt. Not to mention 47 years with zero accomplishments other than cash in families pockets

    Re: What has happened to the Democratic party?

    It's my understanding that if you win an election and then pass legislation through duly elected representatives; that's called democracy. But I guess it's imposing things now? So does that mean anyone who wins an election is imposing stuff? Or is it just when you disagree with them?

    I've agreed with the agenda of like .75 presidential administrations in about 3 decades. Never met a Congress I trusted or believed in. Still, they're duly elected. So that's what goes.

    But...damn...discouraging people from voting is just flat out wrong.

    Let me echo this post but from the opposite direction. What is wrong with you people? What happened to you? You've gone off the rails. Trump is an unmitigated disaster, the whole world knows it, why on earth are you pretending otherwise?

    I lived through the 60s and 70s. There were tanks on the streets of Washington D.C., there was a ruinous war going on, there riots in black neighborhoods that had to be quelled by regular Army troops not NG units, Nixon was forced to leave office, and on and on, yet I never wondered whether the basic foundation of this Republic would hold. I knew it would. But now, now, if you people don't get your shit together it won't, trust me.

    of course they support it, the end justifies the means. Trump has to condemn white supremacy, which he’s Done many times, yet they wont call out BLM , antifa or illegals who commit crimes. Disgusting.

    Re: What has happened to the Democratic party?

    I have honest and non-loaded or snarky questions for people that are really angered by abortion. Like Im attempting to understand.

    Why no associated push to accelerate adoption? It's really expensive and hard. So if you get rid of abortion, why not assist adoption? It takes years right now.

    Why cut social services? Why not provide significant assistance for pre and post natal care as well as other child rearing issues so individuals see a viable alternative to abortion.

    Why the seeming resistance to early and detailed sex education? Repeated studies by non partisan entities demonstrate that sex education and knowledge of birth control methods just kneecaps the abortion rate.

    You bring up valid points. Although im not angered at abortion at all, I think there needs to be parameters. Such as first trimester, not funded by taxpayers and certainly not on minors without parental notification. The hypocrisy is what annoys me,BLM except in Chicago or when it comes to abortion. We all know the stat more black babies aborted in NYC than births. Social services should not be cut, but Its completely abused by some. The more kids you have the more money you receive. Immigrants come here and receive medicaid on our dime. You cant move to Germany unless you have job or large amounts of cash. People come here for free crap. People who deserve social services are short changed. Im all for education, it starts with parents. I certainly don’t rely solely on high school teachers to educate my daughter on their own.

    My understanding is that he was not the only, but a key player (along with Orrin Hatch...I think) in the Violence Against Women Act.

    I believe as VP he helped coordinate the various recession recovery acts.

    I feel both efforts did more good than bad.
