I'd tend to agree, support through donation or membership in activist organizations. Just kidding, they are generally called lobbying groups, meaning big voices are better than little voices? And, we, I, don't worry about the perception that the left has control of messaging, it does not lessen the value, unless we're thinking apathy is an option. Generally, those we vote for find it difficult to legislate, but we try not to encourage those who play and loose with appointing unelected policy makers? Hey, the education system as one example. We stay ever mindful of those who can nominate candidates to fill our judiciary branch.

Why do I "argue", just to remind the profs of this world, that their agendas don't start from a valid position that has merit just because they are emotional invested in like minded friend groups, or that the jimmy's of the world will realize that they won't tread on me easily, because they have wifi. Other small things, I don't mind giving the thumbs down to activists picketing or ranting roadside. In sanfran or chitown, nope I'm not that dumb, but then again I don't patronize areas that I have fundamental disagreement with. Magic wand, nope.

Strauss & Howe's Fourth Turning is an interesting read. It has missed a little ( as far as timing goes) but it's theories still seem valid.

And one thing you guys may want to take a second look at is the USSC ruling that unleashed the SuperPACS. Calling limits on election spending "free speech" is insane and has contributed mightily to the chaotic, billionaire dominated, two out of four years spent raising money, election system.

I'll let you in on a little secret. Conservatives contribute to the parties and candidates of their choice. Liberals don't. Liberals depend on deep pocketed donors. The more election spending limits in place, the more the Right has an inherent advantage over the Left.

We cut out corporate donations, union donations, personal donations over $2000. The parties up here are funded by average taxpayers. And the Right typically raises 3x to 4x the money the Left does. It was one of the last things the previous centre right government did before it left office and our current Blackface wearing Turd took over. It was a brilliant tactical move by the right.

The shit you make up is astounding.

Still waiting to hear what I made up Brent. Waiting to hear what wasn't true. You been back to the site since i asked the first time. Someone may be making up shit but it isn't me.


The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

So nice that you think of me constantly and track my visits to the forum. Very nice to be living in your head all the time. And way too funny. Like a lot of your make-believe posts.

I love your sweeping generalizations of where the two combatant sides get their money. No, the heavy hitters like the Koch boys and Griffin and others are really funding liberals. And all these little guys that got Obama elected the first time were really riding the coattails of Soros and so many others (but we only hear about Soros). Sarcasm off. In the 2022 congressional elections, 2.5 times more billionaires donated to the GOP than the Dem. Not only where there more of them but the also gifted about 50% more per billionaire. And we don't really know about right and left corporate gifting but almost certainly the far right receive much more from industry than the left.

Keep hammering. Your diatribe is great entertainment. The way you blindly believe is fun to watch. The right is a party of the rich, for the rich, and only the rich. They have roped a bunch of fools for votes. Fools that want only to see anything and everything American torn down. They have even become patsies for the NORKS the Ruskies and any other any-democratic .gov.

Doesn't this guy just make you swell with pride to call him one of yours? A featured speaker at CPAC, no less. What an American! He makes me puke. But I digress.



Now you carry on, and I do appreciate your tracking me so closely. It makes me feel loved... wink

Yep same thing. But he doesn't brag about it and tells the world. So, tells us- you think you want Donald Trump to lead our country? Just a simple yes or no will do.

You already failed. When your righty distroyed our capital. And besides, I'm one of those who Nikki Haley talks about. I don't want either Trump or Biden back. So, just because I think Trump is a scumbag, don't think I want Biden either. I helped stop Trump from coming back. So, we'll see what happens next time. Your assuming continues to make you look foolish.

In a democracy, laws are made directly by the voting majority leaving the rights of the minority largely unprotected.

In a republic, laws are made by representatives chosen by the people and must comply with a constitution that specifically protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority.

The U.S. is a republic

Democracy is bad for minorities

Republic is good for the minorities and the majority.

We are a representative democracy. Most definitely a well recognized form of democracy. It too can be bad for minorities, as we see today.
