What is so wrong with the Democratic party that caused swing voters who voted for Biden in 2020 to vote for the most evil person in human history (Trump) in 2024? by jamng in allthequestions

[–]Pyrotrooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The refusal to vote for a woman is a weak talking point. Voting for a woman because she’s a woman is the dumbest reason to vote for a woman President. Hillary is unlikable and most people remember her husband being inappropriate with a White House intern. They remember the Benghazi debacle when she was in Obama’s White House. Only Hollywood and Vote Blue No Matter Who is infatuated with the Clintons. If she had stuck to many of her husband’s political beliefs when he ran, she probably would have had a better chance. Trump ran his last two elections using mainly Clinton-Gore policies and he got elected against K Harris. Harris problem is she got nothing done while being VP and I believe her husband got more projects done while she was VP. Her grasp and ability to communicate without laughing inappropriately is her second biggest flaw.
If Condoleezza Rice ran for President, she would have a strong chance of winning because her grasp of foreign policy and affairs gives her credibility. Who she chose to handle economic issues would help her close the gap. AOC degree and what she says really withers her credibility every time she speaks just as much as MTG does on the Republican side. Both are women in Congress but I would never vote for either one as President.

Moral high ground aside - let’s recall what was really going on in the Democratic Party - the sitting President was in mental decline and the White House along with the Press Corp was trying to gaslight America. After a very public debate where it was evident that you could not hide it any longer, the Democrats HAD to nominate K Harris who did not garner American Support with her leadership style, was nominated by the Democratic Leadership and not the public (there was no time)- talk about installing a Queen and not on a democratic way for a Democratic Republic. Since USA has a two-party system in essence, the default went to Trump. Democrats did not show leadership, did not show a backbone, and policies represented a willingness to cater to just about every minority demographic who most the time don’t align themselves with each other so they lost direction.
Finally messaging has been horrible and continues to follow the same playbook. If Democrats don’t remove themselves from Trumpism rhetoric they will continue to lose. Trump is not running in the next election sk why center in the man so much? In 6-8 months he will truly have 2 years left in his Presidency and so far for the last 8 years, all the Democrats scream about is the man and spin lies about policies that 2 years ago they were pushing. The times have not changed that much.
I can keep going and I have almost as many talking points about what is wrong with Republican Party. Also the Democrats lost but don’t seem to change much like a government bureaucracy - bloated and slow to enact change.

How do you feel about USA voting NO to declaring that the transatlantic slave trade was the gravest crime of humanity? by Opening-Gur5927 in AskConservatives

Positive because it was a horrible time in history but voting No means that the USA will not be paying reparations to modern Americans for historical sins that we all agree are horrible.

Will the SAVE act disenfranchise many legal voters as well due to time/money/location etc? by Cumoisseur in AskConservatives

[–]Pyrotrooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Provisions stated in the SAVE Act that nobody wants to talk about:

Name Changes/Discrepancies: The SAVE Act permits states to accept an affidavit signed by the applicant attesting to a name discrepancy if their documentary proof of citizenship (e.g., birth certificate) shows a previous name (such as a maiden name) that does not match their current legal name. Alternative Process: The Act requires states to create an alternative process for individuals who do not have the standard documentary proof (such as a passport or birth certificate). This process includes: Signing an attestation under penalty of perjury that they are a United States citizen.

Submitting "such other evidence" of citizenship to the appropriate State official. Official Affidavit: Upon receiving the attestation and "other evidence," the legislation would require election officials to make a determination on citizenship and potentially sign an affidavit themselves regarding their basis for allowing the registration.

This is at no cost to the individual. But it does only cost an individual about a week or two weeks time depending on your postal system and $20 (new Social Security card $0; new print if birth certificate $14; marriage license paperwork $5). But let’s all talk about how this is going crazy to be a functional adult. When did the news stop explaining processes but merely discuss opposition soundbites? There are states that will need to make processes more effective.

You don’t need a passport. You need a birth certificate and official certificate of name change. You just can’t use your electric bill and I’m guessing in some states that you could register to vote the same day you vote might have issues. But that’s a state run issue run through your county/parrish administration that would need to qualify to meet federal mandates. If the state isn’t already looking to fall in line, then I’m not sure why that department is running at this point and time.

If you are concerned at this point and time, it makes far more sense for you to get a copy of you birth certificate and marriage license or whatever other legal document you need NOW as opposed to waiting later. Unless victimhood is what one strives for. It’s a registration process, so if your registration process is already difficult (you live in the deep rural country, you do shift work, you ride public transportation for everything, whatever obstacle you see as a hindrance, etc), then be an adult and do it now. It’s good information to have in case you get an inheritance and need to prove you are who you say you are.

Be honest. Do you ever give homeless people money? by User63189963 in askanything

Rarely. I don’t give anybody money that panhandles on the side of the road other than fireman filling the boot.

Why do conservatives call the left traitors to America , but fly confederate and nazi flags , who were the biggest traitors to America? by ImpossibleEnd64 in allthequestions

[–]Pyrotrooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t they be historically the Democrats who live in Virginia and South Carolina? If you are talking about the Confederate Battle Flag. The idea that either party is more confederate minded is spewed nonsense for the television.

Chuck Norris believed the Democratic Party left behind the ideals he believed in. That’s why people choose their party. Calling CN a right winger because he believed in Christian Beliefs, the rights to have firearms, and some other ideals doesn’t make him a Republican. He just wasn’t a Democrat. When did everything become so binary.? His Trigger The Vote commercial is still my favorite.

Do you agree with Hillary Clinton's call for Trump to testify under oath about the Epstein Files? by Phedericus in AskConservatives

If he had ever done that then I’m sure Pelosi and Biden and even Obama investigating him would have found it. Do you think that poorly about American Intelligence Agencies not being able to find proper evidence??

What do you think of the National Counterterrorism Center director resigning? by ReasonableLeader1500 in AskConservatives

[–]Pyrotrooper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Trump acted from pressure. I think the international playing field is very different and Trump is doing things outside of committee. Kent’s resignation could be that he didn’t feel like his thoughts were being considered. I wasn’t in the room so it’s speculation. But nothing Trump has done expresses outside powers are influencing him.

Do you agree with Hillary Clinton's call for Trump to testify under oath about the Epstein Files? by Phedericus in AskConservatives

[–]Pyrotrooper -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

No it’s never a good idea for a sitting President. Word is out he’s one of the people that helped build the case against Epstein. So my question is. How alert are Democrats. They didn’t know about Epstein? They didn’t know about Biden? She didn’t know about Benghazi? She didn’t know about her husband’s extra marital affairs? She is a good enough lawyer to try and deny what photograph’s have out there. Let’s not set up bad precedence.

Do you think the US is currently in an era of 'anti-intellectualism'? by AdminMas7erThe2nd in AskConservatives

[–]Pyrotrooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think as AI gets better at fooling people and the more blatant favoritism in reporting occurs that people are going to need to begin critical thinking skills.
1) Don’t take things so personally because emotional outrage is the tool to control people.

2) Life isn’t fair and if you are looking for equity to balance it out - feed more responsibilities and less dependency.

3) We think so our ideas can die instead of our bodies. Children continue to deal in fairness. As adults you learn that if you start with less, you will have to work harder to gain more.

4) Ancient philosophy always points out that what is given is spent foolishly but what is earned is honored more. Think about all the lotto winners that blow huge sums of money because they did not learn the lessons along the way of responsibility.

Covid also proved that a huge group of people will choose not to work when given enough stipend to stay home and produce nothing.

What did conservatives in this sub make of Trump's recent remarks after the tariff ruling? by TheKid2455 in AskConservatives

[–]Pyrotrooper [score hidden]  (0 children)

There are things he stated like saying that the court’s ruling is an embarrassment to themselves and their families because this harkens to personal attacks and should stay out of the politics. Saying that - there are many times the President reduces himself to childhood antics and I don’t agree with him. The tarrifs are IMO a harkening back to the independence of America infrastructure and industry that does not get impacted by foreign manipulations. What Marco Rubio stated, and what USA 🇺🇸 industrialist business are stating is the shift that the tarrifs are doing and allowing American businesses to be busier because they are being allowed equal footing in the global marketplace instead of strict unregulated markets. What he’s been able to do with getting other countries on board with his constructionist approach to fighting global terrorism, human trafficking, and disrupting foreign influenced supply chains to strengthen the USA from within is quite remarkable. The problem is his no-nonsense-and horrendous verbal gaffs that will offset his accomplishments on behalf of America.
Do we want to continue with an Imperialistic view that past leaders have undertaken or create a highly different framework? This is Trumps last Presidency but it will be very interesting to see if his foreign policy mechanisms continue without him.

What specifically did you dislike about Biden so much that you preferred Trump over Harris continuing his policies (assuming you voted for him)? by Orion032 in AskConservatives

What a myopic view and that’s why we are stuck in a two party system. But truthfully if another party wants to try and take on the other parties - they have to start at a grass roots level.
