Biden is leading by a wide margin, right now. Dems will vote for who they think can win. It's a political primary so it will of course bring out all sorts of ideas. But really, the socialists are not winning even in the Democratic primary. How do you get "engrossed" out of that, I'm not sure. 

 

 

You are Mr. Wishful thinking! Lol, Trump is firing up the Democratic base! Love it! 

  You can kid yourself but don't kid the rest of us.  Most SJW Dems just see this as another day at the office for Trump so what little emotion was run up will fade by this afternoon.  Dems will get mad and stay home if they were backing Harris, Biden, Sanders as only one candidate can prevail.  What I hear is some are willing to write off 2020 to set the party on the course that they desire.

Not sure what context is lost at all. I do believe Trump is flesh and blood like the rest of us, and he makes mistakes and has deep character flaws. It’s okay to say that and still believe in his policies   

 

Confused on this post. 

I've been reading through the various replies and this is among the most salient points I've read. 

 

I was a reluctant Trump supporter,  found his approach by Tweet unsettling when he was first elected (I was horrified when he tweeted that Obama wiretapped him, thinking a president should not say that sort of this without proof), but history has shown that on many of those "WTF!" moments he was on point and often ahead of the curve. 

 

On this most recent firestorm, it is what it is. He chose to send a tweet that was sloppy in regards to who is from where and which country, and I can understand his detractors seeing evidence of hatred or racism in his remarks. 

 

I do the same thing, actually, and see remarks like Nancy Pelosi's "MAGA really means make America white again"  as incredibly divisive race-1baiting language that reflects poorly on her and her motives.  I think that language is dangerous, destructive and intended to rile her base, which includes the same type of hateful thugs that will lie/cheat/steal/destroy and kill to further their cause as you see on the right. The thing about Pelosi v Trump is while Trump seems impetuous and less than artful (by design or not), I think Pelosi, Biden, Harris, Clinton, Schumer etc think through what they are going to say, focus group it for maximum effect and send out exactly what they mean.

 

In fact, the common theme from our political leaders is to demonize the other party at all costs. 

 

So given the flesh and blood of us all, you wanted feedback.  I'm happy to give mine, but what are your thoughts on the other side? Do you have the same questions on the Pelosi for Prez board at another site?  Or the "Biden for Prez All hands on deck" site? Or, have you accepted the narrative that trump is the first flesh and blood individual who hates everyone and everything ever created in the history of the world?

 

I'm looking at the totality of 45s Presidency thus far and see little in the way of institutionalized racist policies and in fact, see quite a bit of positive data for all who want to contribute and work for their own slice of the American dream.  

 

Unlike some of the others posters here who's views I respect (you're in that group), I wouldn't say whether Pelosi is a racist or not. How would I know what's in her heart, who she pals around with and how she treats everyday Americans.  Some dems seem to think she is, and given their experiences maybe she fits the mold. I do think that while a person guilty of violence against someone for who they are is vile, I am quite certain I have no respect for the second spitter off in the shadows goading them on with rhetoric like "That guy hates you people.". While guy #1 is often ruled by emotion/rage/hate, person  #2 is calculating and reflects a darkness that's hard for me to understand.

at some point ya call a cigar a cigar...he has tweeted racist things for three years..this one possibly the most blatant " brown people are not part of my America"..go back from where you came"!

 

You always claim people with TDS cant see the forest for the trees, and it sure seems that goes both ways. If you cannot see this as a racist, baiting tweet, and call him out for it, i am lost.

 

This is just pure red meat to his base, and if posting racist tweets is okay as a political strategy i think we have truly entered the 4th circle..and this guy is driving us there

 

I’m tripping on the irony of the fact that your inaccurate paraphrase has 100% more race mentions then the original text....

I'm still trying to figure out the "racist" part of these tweets.
 

 

 

Trump certainly didn't stick the landing here. The "go back to where you came from" comment was never gonna be interpreted as anything other than extreme racism by those with TDS. Classic Trump Twitter diarrhea. It's basically an outrage sequel to the shithole country comment. These women believe that socialist shithole countries are Utopia's, and he wants them to put their money where their mouth is and go fix them. They won't because they are shitholes and would never want to lose all the freedoms and luxuries they have here.

 

He criticized people he thinks are stupid and since the left only reduces people to their skin color, he's a racist. Remember, just last week Pelosi was a racist for disagreeing with them until the Congressional Black Caucus smacked them down.

That just means that the CBC is also racist.

This is actually the most offensive post here regarding this topic. 

 

He is just projecting his own racism. If he can twist things to make it look racist, then he does not feel so bad about being racist himself.

so you really think a POTUS telling brown people who oppose his views to " go back where you came from" is what MAGA stands for?

“Aww shucks that’s just Trump being Trump. Wacky guy. “

 

Says DR. 

 

“What’s a little blatant anti-brown people talk from the president?”

 

Personally, I can’t stand AOC and her re-elect Trump gang. But it’s not because I’m racist. Trump on the other hand decided race was the way to go. He didn’t misspeak. He wasn’t subtle. Just went for it. I’ve not called his statements racist or dog whistling before, but this one leaves no room for discussion. 

 

billsChan won’t care. He’s the (meaning now changing?) white knight. See last 3 pages.

When he does something inarguably offensive, “Hillary” is the response. billsChan has a narrative to follow. 

 

This tweet won’t matter to the base. He’s gone after POWs for being prisoners and gold star families. A shot at brown folks won’t move the needle.

The brown Americans he told to go back to their home countries?

i don't know, what country does he want dark skinned American citizens to go back to? He's such an idiot. 

 

So so glad he stepped in and United the Democrats again though! Thanks! 

 

 

Dont worry guys, I’ve created an anthology of all the posts and comments in this thread that directly reference skin color... now we can really see who the racists are. 

 

Obviously trumps tweet is quoted because it directly speaks of skin color and other race based qualifiers... wait... *****. I don’t know what happened....

His full quote was likely "I don't want to say that on the record, Acosta, because you're a biased left-wing agitator posing as a journalist, enabled by your biased left-wing network, and you'll find a way to twist my words against me and against the President."

The future of the Democratic Party is in doubt and that is no joke.  

 

In reality, this isn't any different than where the GOP was in 2009ish. The Democrats will eventually bounce back. The pendulum of American politics will swing.

Well, his racism is much worse when he is simply scapegoating immigrants as criminals rapists and drug dealers, but hey, play word games if you want. 

 

Did you see him say most of the asylum seekers are just criminals?
