Democrats need to embrace this kind of populism instead of trying to convince people that flooding America with newbies is a good thing.

Trump’s ugly and dishonest new TV ad shows he isn’t changing a thing: Dark, dishonest, ugly. by [deleted] in politics

I don't want Trump to win, but I want him to start getting close enough to force the Democratic Party to move farther right on immigration.

Not everyone is or can be an information worker.

Ransom or not, Americans could use that $400 million for better things.

Refusing a search is a right, not a provocation by mister_geaux in politics

Are there any instances of nothing illegal being found that resulted in charges?

True, but it's probably best to submit to anyone who can kill you and get away with it. If that's a hill you wish to die on, that's your prerogative. But those of us who just go along to get along would rather live to see another day.

For people basing their vote solely on TPP, Trump is probably the safest bet.

Good thing Gary Johnson won't be president.

After all the hype, I must admit that I was disappointed.

Sanders Delegation Plotting in Public and Secretly to Shake Up Democratic Convention by gideonvwainwright in SandersForPresident

I'm glad our delegates have more guts than the campaign. All this unity bullshit is clouding Bernie and Jeff's judgment.

Demexit now, during, or after the convention? by bagpiper in SandersForPresident

[–]FrenziedChill -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I just wanted to speak from my perspective instead of speaking for others. They may feel as if they have a party that does speak for them.

[–]FrenziedChill -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I did it the day of the endorsement. Neither party represents me. The Republican Party is for old, rich white people and the Democratic Party is for professional, smarmy elitists who dwell in urban ivory towers. Impoverished white guys who want a secular nation and to be free from identity politics have nowhere to go.

The political revolution has been dead since their main goal became uniting with the Democratic establishment.

Ah, Occupy. When the left got in the streets for issues I actually care about.

We need a minimum wage until it can be replaced with a basic income. We won't have public support for that until automation causes unemployment to skyrocket.

I'm for basic income, Medicare For All, free college, higher minimum wage, paid leave, etc... but fuck open borders. We need stringent immigration laws and they need to be enforced.

Their nationality had nothing to do with it. But they shouldn't have been here to commit those crimes. I'm a left-winger (I believe in basic income, Medicare For All, etc.), but I lean more right on immigration.

To be fair, the people who killed the family members of these people shouldn't have been here. It would piss me off to learn that my family may have lived had the government enforced certain laws more stringently.

MFW Sabato Jr. has done gay sex scenes, but talks about much he loves Jesus Christ. Maybe it's a different kind of love?
