Let's say for laughs the Democrats finally get their wish of 100% control over the Federal Government. And they've stayed there for say 50+ years just like in every urban shithole. What do you think the country would look like with zero opposition to their agenda of total takeover? Does anyone really believe that permanent one party Leftist rule would benefit America in any way?
I'd like to see three or four parties in the states and federal government, they'd HAVE to negotiate and compromise. Although I vote for one I'm damn tired and disillusioned with the rigged two party system. Rigged as in where were Jo Jorgensen and Spike Cohen during the debates, are they not national candidates?
Problem is now you dilute the agenda even further. It should never be about compromise, but beating the other party into submission.
God help us if the democrats get full control. They will go full blown communist just so they finally get their wish and can never be reversed.
Hah Hah, you're right, I just went on a flight of fancy. I don't like the war but I damn sure ain't gonna lay down and surrender.
Most of our leftists seem to think that the outcome would be some sort of a Star Trek universe Utopia whereas the reality would be some variation of venezuela.
And that's the grave error of the Leftist mindset. They only think short term outcomes and never about the long term ramifications.
They would destroy America completely. Probably make flying the American flag a "hate crime" It would make 1984 look like like a free country.
No. One party rule would not be good for the US or any other country. What a silly statement. However, when one party has indeed had complete rule and completely effs it up, then that party needs to be relegated to the trashbin of history and its adherents need to reconsider their values in the light of their resounding rejection by the other side. Any political party, or political idea, is only as good as how well their ideas attract new members. When a party cannot do that, it needs to examine its relevance to the current climate.
And yet your side cheers permanent entrenchment by the Democrats. Why the **** do you think that urban shitholes don't have any opposition parties? Because the Democrat party machine doesn't want competition.
My little town won't change much. But big city America will be in rough ways and looking at rurals with hungry eyes. And that's going to be very dangerous.
I agree- and it's incredible they can't see it. I've worked in Venezuela, immediately after riots killed 500 people in Caracas and the nation went under martial law and 6 to 6 curfew just as I arrived. Why did that happen? Government manipulating the economy with socialist motives; naturally botching the job because the concept is fatally flawed. Did they learn? No. Just like California is doing now, the fools in charge decided the problem was not enough control, and doubled down. Today's Venezuela is the end result of chasing that same rainbow for 40 years. It now takes more pounds of their paper money to buy a roll of toilet tissue than the roll of tissue itself weighs- and their government still refuses to change course. Venezuela was once the wealthiest nation in South America. Now it's the poorest, despite having vast natural resources and good people. Bad management and ideology can screw up any nation.
It’s funny....people don’t want low income housing in their town but then complain that inner cities are “crap holes”. Well, where the f do you expect poor people to live? They have to live somewhere don’t they? And for the record, no party should ever have complete rule. There should always be a balance. There is a reason the founding fathers set up checks and balance in our govt.
Being unable to learn the correct things from history is one of the hallmarks of a certain segment of people -- though I won't identify them lest I receive a warning. But, yes; California is a good intermediary stage highlighting what happens when the political Left gains long term functional control over a large region, such as an entire state . . . or, ndeed, a nation. Venezuela is the inevitable end result even though it is not their intended goal.
Well, how about they fix up their own communities instead? There's a reason why people don't want to live in the cities.
so you would rather build new projects in the suburbs than fix up inner cities? typical Leftist mindset here.
We already have an example of a one party hegemony. It is called Puerto Rico. Lessons of social malfeasance are wasted on the Leftist visions of a utopia fundamentally lacking the stark realities of actual human nature.
You want taxpayer money to go towards fixing up an area with low income housing? I’m sure cities have just loads of extra money to spruce up these areas. And not sure where you get your info but there have always been people who want to live in the city. Big cities have loads of companies with offices there on top of tons of restaurants and bars....that has always been a huge draw for young people starting out in the working world.
The National Socialist Party in Germany had many adherents... a majority in fact. That doesn’t make them right or on the moral high ground. And a party whose platform is predicated upon the idea of white privilege is excessively reminiscent of the national socialist party in Germany.
McCarthy was doing the right thing and we need another McCarthy today to root all of the communist scum masquerading as socialists.
