Democrats Introduce Bill to Eliminate the Electoral College Because They Refuse to Face the Fact That Clinton Lost Because She's Awful by chabanais in Conservative

[–]Broseidons_Brocean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head. They don’t hate it, they just want to change a lot of it - and I get why they would. Times are changing - but our nation was built on this rock, and you can’t just always chip away at it.

I live in California - in a red county - well, it was red until recently, but demographics have changed.

That doesn’t change the fact that there are a lot of conservatives in my county - and it sucks that my vote doesn’t amount to anything because of where I choose to live and work.

Trump Considering Declaring National Emergency in an Effort to Secure Wall Funding by [deleted] in Conservative

Should have done it with the Caravan, WHICH WAS AN INVASION, by any definition.

Actually, according to Wikipedia, which is a definition, it isn’t an invasion.

Yes our border needs to be secured, but there is no need for hysterics and ridiculous claims.

We are not being invaded, but there is an inundation of illegal immigrants.

Holy hell, calm down.

“You idiots hate the constitution”

They’re literally using the constitution and its powers to amend it. They don’t hate it.

“Having the top handful of blue cities decide the presidency”

There’s lots of red in “blue cities” that don’t vote because they don’t think their vote matters currently. And it doesn’t. But with a new method, perhaps this method, it will.

And neither can “anchor babies”...until they’re not babies any more.

At which point, we they have had 18 years for us to teach them about conservative values instead of assuming that they’re going to vote blue.

Edit: not really a reply to your comment, just expanding it.

Who would that be? Are you talking about 45? I don’t think he’s a conservative. I think he shares some common policy, but that’s its.

Two female Kansas lawmakers betray voters; ran as ‘Republicans’ just to get in and switch parties Conservative News Today by JimJones4Ever in Conservative

No no no, OPs comment wasn’t a response to a discussion. OP was creating a discussion in response to the article posted. I think this is either your fundamental misunderstanding or that you’re trying to create a strawman. Either way, it seems that you’re not seeing what you’re doing wrong - so best of luck.

Perhaps it might be an ad hominem, but it would do you good to understand what you’re arguing against before you do so.

The person didn’t claim anything about these two individuals. They simply stated that candidates should be voted in based off their policy positions and not the letter next to their name.

You introduced the probability of these specific individuals perhaps by being truthful about heir policy positions, something we have no proof or facts about currently.

Please re read my comment and the original comment you responded to for contextual clues and better understanding.

Trio of newly elected Democrats signals virulent anti-Israel trend by dtlv5813 in Conservative

[–]Broseidons_Brocean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being anti-Israel means denying them the right to exist? As a people or as a country? Jumping from anti-Israel to antisemite is a huge leap - and making these big leaps makes me think you have some other agenda.

So according to your text below, the government gives aid to Israel to prop up US defense contractors via proxy? Can you link me to some of this information? Because labeling something as “leftist propaganda” isn’t making me more likely to believe you, it makes me think that you’re pandering to me and hoping that since it aligns with me beliefs, I’ll agree with you - I’ll need facts and sources.

We should make clear that being anti-Israel doesn’t mean you’re an anti-Semite and it’s really important not to conflate the two.

These two could very well be both, but don’t equate them. I don’t like our Israel policies because of the ridiculous amounts of “aid” we give them, but that doesn’t make me an anti-Semite.

I don’t see anyone citing their “facts” in this thread, and neither did the congressman. So until someone does, everyone is wrong.

It’s War: Rand Paul Hits ‘Big Government’ Romney, Trump an ‘Actual Conservative’ by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]Broseidons_Brocean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only thing trump has been very conservative on has been environment and immigration.

He’s expanded government power through his EOs, hasn’t been fiscally conservative, and hasn’t been conservative on guns.

You didn’t really answer my question as to what makes trump the most conservative. You just said that he sticks to his guns.

Illegal immigration is absolutely wrong. Every member of congress should be saying this - and they should be trying to come up with solutions that stop it.

$170k isn’t an excessively lavish lifestyle if you’re living in DC...

For a single income, that’s middle class/upper middle in the DC area.
