The American people have spoken and they demand to know where the Dems sit on trans rights! Sadly, this is likely an actual conversation happening at the DNC. Dems learned nothing over the last 8 years. If they had a candidate who would focus on jobs, prosperity, and boosting the standard of living for working class Americans they just might never lose again. Instead they're baited into debates on fringe social issues. They're more concerned about winning the supposed moral high ground than they are with winning elections and as a result they're broadly viewed as arrogant, humorless, and preachy. I think Trump and MAGA is more a repudiation of both political parties and our ruling elite. He promised to burn everything down. Ironically, the rejection of our political elitism is embodied by a rich Manhattan socialite who LARPs as a self made man but here we are. Trump's self aggrandizing travels too. Latinos and Black voters love the machismo, the under educated love the complete lack of decorum and decency. Trump is flame to the moth for everyone who has been cast aside as dumb, trashy, hairbrained, and generally undesirable. He brought them all in under the tent.

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago 37 minutes ago, JDHillFan said: Where do you think the Democratic Party went wrong? What do they need to get in order? Short answer: Focus more on creating a better future, instead of putting up barriers to progress. Democrats are so focused on "fairness" that nothing ends up getting done. New York state is a compassionate state, so much so that we can't build enough houses and end up with homeless people all over the place. They don't have a homeless problem in Houston, they just build there. We have so many issues with transportation, and look at California's bullet train fiasco. Trump is pushing for the eVTOL revolution which is a great thing and will lead to a revolution in transportation, I think and hope. (Not just because I invest in that area, lol) And on Global Warming, why in the hell are the Dems pushing for a complete change to electric vehicles no one wants? I guess its a hatred of the oil industry in part. A simplier and less disruptive and politically sensible solution is to make a scientific push for carbon sequestration. Make it a priority of Democratic leadership to figure out that technology. We can all keep our interal combustion vehicles, which I think we love, really. But no, Dems have to do it the hard way and piss everyone off. The future looks scary with AI, space weapons, drones, China growing stronger everyday, authoritarianism a threat, and Democrats had better get ahead of things on those fronts by showing democracy works and above all else that it, and the Democratic Party, can actually accomplish somethings, big things. 3 minutes ago, Jauronimo said: They need to get tougher on trans rights.

America turned this country over to the religious nuts. Rewind the clock back to 1953 when America.via the CIA initiated a coup against the democratically elected government in Iran ino order to save American and British oil interests in the country from nationalization. Installed the dictatorship in the form of the Shah until 1979 when the Clerics took over. One bad guy for another. I'll leave the lesson to be learned here about the short and long term consequences of intervention to others. 1 1

I see Trump as a reaction to the failings of both major parties. I know a lot of Trump-supporting vets (which seems absurd to me in view of suckers and losers, but whatever) who I strongly suspect are with him based on the failings of George W. Bush. They went to war in Iraq based on a lie, left blood, sweat, tears, limbs, and friends there, and it was all a waste. So they seized on both Bernie and Trump. Now they're with Trump. Whether they stick with the Republican Party remains to be seen. (I suspect they'd flip back to a Bernie candidate who looks like them pretty easily.) But time will tell. 1

Jauronimo Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago 1 hour ago, All_Pro_Bills said: I can say with close to 100% confidence that no theoretical Iranian nukes are pointed at the USA mainland. Why would they be? If they're pointed anywhere they are pointed at Isreal. But they don't exist. Blowing up some underground research facility will do nothing to neutralize operational nuclear weapons. And if the Clerics running the country are faced with total defeat they'll use them if they have them. And if they have them then the mission needs to be taking the active nukes out. Not research facilities. Logically, focusing on taking out research leads to conclude no active capability exists. They can point their nukes wherever they like, assuming they have one for this hypothetical. Just like Nathan Peterman could line up to throw the deep out route. Getting the package to the intended target is a completely different matter. An Iranian nuke pointed at the United States might hit Santorini? It sure as hell isn't landing anywhere close to an American territory. They have a long way to go with missile tech by all reports. 3 minutes ago, ScotSHO said: Everyone fits in nice little racist boxes, eh? The racists certainly do. 2 1

We have to stop talking about which weirdo rocks a piss in which bathroom and focus on making people's lives better. Better wages, better working conditions, better health, better health insurance, fairer taxation (tax the rich), no stupid tariffs, treat everyone with decency, give everyone a fair short, and move on. Only once those things are done can we have conversations about stupid fringe issues like the five trannies who play women's sports and piss off some swimmer who didn't win a medal nobody cares about anyways and parlayed that into a following on Fox News. Populism with decency is what the Democratic Party used to be, and it's time to get back to that. 2

They are no longer focused on missile launchers or the Iranian nuc program, but have gone after the regime's internal police. In my view that is a sign that while they are not going to overthrow the Islamic regime, they are making it easier for the Iranians to do it themselves. If there is no regime change, as BillsFanNC pointed out, assured compliance would be part of a settlement agreement. 2

He's a fraud and a phony who has enriched himself on the backs of the people who support him without actually doing anything to help them. I really wonder how many people simply dislike him less than they disliked some lady with pearls who hasn't worked a 9 to 5 in decades. (Not that Trump has, either.) Maybe I'm giving the electorate too much credit and a huge chunk of it really is drooling morons poisoned by the Internet. But that's really where I'm at. Pete B.'s appearance on that pod recently hit all the high points. Hopefully more Democrats start talking like that. 1
