  1. - tax cuts to corporations and top earners gave us a big deficit and removed some levers that might be handy now. - trade wars. - shitting on our allies. - mismanaging the pandemic. - slowing immigration. I think there are a lot of things to put the blame on potus. The Trump Recession seems like an appropriate label/
  2. Hahaha... for a guy that pretends to transcend politics and be Mr. Miyagi trying to make the left side’s political arguments as good as possible, you sure do take things personally. I don’t remember Mr. Miyagi taking things personally. He was cool like a cucumber.
  3. We live in a time when large groups unfortunately feel that things like coalition building, negotiation, and compromise are signs of weakness. That is a similarity between the trumpkin identity and the Bernie bro identity. Add the populist rhetoric and social media marketing and their methods are spitting images
  4. When the narrative pushed is both sides, it isn’t whataboutism to point out the differences between the two sides. The narrative that both sides are the same when it comes to kids in cages and family separations should be presented with facts about the 4000+ families separated for deterrence through Sessions’ actions, the cancelling of DACA, and the context of the DREAM act, which would have allowed a path to permanent residency for minors. The two choices in November are stark.
  5. Cool man. Then I’m sure you are familiar with what Obama was almost able to pass in 2012. That was a big deal at the time.
  6. Weird flex. Trump’s admin has been a travesty for immigration rights. That should be common knowledge. https://www.migrationpolicy.org/research/immigration-under-trump-review-policy-shifts Don’t forget about Obama and Boehner’s immigration bill in 2012 that was killed by the far right wing of the GOP. It was known as the DREAM act. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DREAM_Act
  7. It is weird that you would try to make this personal. What is up with that? Your both sides narrative gets called out, so you decide to attack motive. Where is that coming from?
  8. No one is saying the world was hunky Dory under Obama. The issue is the narrative that Biden would be the same as trump when it comes to kids in cages/family separations. That is a trump talking point and clearly fallacious.
  9. No man. If you are gonna drop down both sides narratives, you need to back it up. A 2014 news article doesn’t do that. The only thing I can do is provide you with information that dispels your BoTh SiDeS position. It is up to you to read that information and do better in the future. https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/did-the-obama-administration-separate-families/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_administration_family_separation_policy
  10. An article from 2014 is not support for the assertion that BoTh SiDeS aRe ThE sAmE when it comes to children in cages, family separations, or immigration. It is weak sauce to assert that. This is the problem with political dialogue. People pick up fallacious ideas from twitter or wherever about both sides and then get fed weaksauce evidence to assert. Then they regurgitate
  11. In order to “put kids in cages” they are first separated from their families. Don’t converse in bad faith.
  12. This isn’t correct. Biden is and always has been a mainstream democrat. As the party has moved left, so has Biden.
  13. This is a trump talking point. Equating the temporary family separation needed to confirm identities under Obama to the “zero tolerance” near-permanent family separations in the name deterrence under Sessions/trump is gross. Obama let family units stay together during the immigration/deportation process. Trump separated all families across the board. +4000 kids were separated under trump and no one knows exactly how many. Why are people using trump talking points to attack Biden? Where are people hearing this stuff? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_administration_family_separation_policy https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/did-the-obama-administration-separate-families/
  14. I also kind of doubt. But it would be the mature thing to do and clearly in the interest of continued US democracy (aka removing the authoritarian from office). People on the left need to start demanding it. I’m sure there will always be a faction of the Bernie bros (like bad teammate and other twitter tools) that don’t have the maturity or awareness, but that doesn’t mean all other progressives shouldn’t demand Bernie do the right thing - and soon.
  15. That was spot on. If you are anywhere left of trump and you don’t vote for Biden, you have been duped!! That guy needs to start opening up for Bernie’s speeches.
  16. Trump and his team are scared shitless. Trump is an impeached president because he tried to kneecap Biden. The right and trump have been defending Bernie. Joe Biden is a terrible candidate for Trump and those around trump know it. Biden + recession + pandemic mismanagement + 2019 Ukraine + 2016 Russian collusion + whatever other bombs drop (Saudi transcripts, Deutsche bank, tax returns, irs whistleblower) could all lead to flipping the Senate. That is terribly important. Removing roadblock Mitch has to happen before any meaningful legislation will pass.
  17. Sanders, his supporters, and the Bernie bros need to start cleaning their house. They have allowed this victimhood messaging to resonate. Sanders needs to take a bulk of the responsibility since he chose to run an anti-Democratic party campaign and surround himself with anti-establishment people. Sanders has a big job to do. He needs to get to it
  18. Having a "no compromise" platform is what destroyed the GOP. I am glad the democratic party is soundly dismissing that platform. It is in the best interest of the US.
  19. Mary Louise Kelly interview of Fiona Hill from today https://www.npr.org/2020/03/10/814164958/fiona-hill-on-vladimir-putins-move-to-stay-in-power-in-russia
  20. It’ll likely be a female and it won’t be Warren since the governor in Mass is a rep.
  21. You know that black voters know more about white voters than white voters. How do you know this?
  22. Is this what losing looks like?
  23. Twitter trumpkins have trouble keeping up with their slew of twitter posts. Read a newspaper. Go talk to the guy at the corner store.
  24. Why is a Bernie bro posting WhAtAbOuT Obama twitter posts during the Trump Crash of 2020?
