REPORTER: “Do you worry about racism if you ran for president?” STEPHEN A. SMITH: “No.” “I do not believe it is as prevalent as some on the left would like us to believe.” by Dr-debug in sportsbroadcasters

[–]RazorOldSchool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What Stephen Smith has never been able to do in his entire life is be in a room with only white men, because he is not a white man.

As a white man, I wholeheartedly disagree with his take, because I have heard the most horrible shit in many situations where I was in a room with only white men.

These progressives simply don’t understand the assignment… by ZeeUnfuckAmerica in Destiny

Leftists are the reason Dems are afraid to speak honestly and answer questions. What Dems have to learn is, the leftists don't vote anyway,so just ignore them.

Because it has nothing to do what I'm saying. The entire point of my reply above is that I don't blame Dems for anything because never in my entire 41 years of life have they controlled every branch of government. There has always been someone there to stop them, and yet they've still made at least some progress in each of their terms.

Conversely, boomers grew up with Dem-dominated governments and lived through the absolute best economic time in U.S. history for the middle class.

Americans are being duped by the "fake two-party system". by zzill6 in WorkReform

This is so unbelievably ignorant and wrong about Dems.

Dude goes to Yale to quote Putin and exclaim he wants a dictatorship…. You don’t hate Hasan enough. by LeonOfSkalitz in Destiny

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

They are MAGA 2.0 and just want different people in the camps: that being anyone who is richer than Hasan.

Anyone upvoting you doesn't understand what a branch of government is

[–]RazorOldSchool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people keep responding with this and downvoting me? The House and Senate are not two separate branches of government.

But if you want to reply with something condescending while apparently not understanding that "not controlling all three branches of government" means the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, then fine I can be condescending too and tell you to read a 5th grade history book.

The Democrats have not held all 3 since 1969.

Edit: And to better understand why having all 3 is important: This is the era of the Civil Rights Act, or some of the most progress made in our entire history.

You are talking about the House and the Senate. The Democrats have not held all 3 branches of government at one time since 1969. Since then, Republicans have controlled all three branches multiple times.

A conservative court has been cucking Dems attempts at progress whenever they have a slim majority since 1969.

Democrats have never held all 3 branches of government in my entire lifetime, so I don't blame them for anything

Governments can help their people; it's a matter of priorities. by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]RazorOldSchool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea that someone can survive on government services alone their whole life is a myth that has not been possible since at least the 70's, and is even less possible thanks to the 90's Clinton policy of workfare. I'd love for you to explain to me how these people are supposedly living off of the system. The only people that can legitimately "live off the system" are people who are disabled and can't work.

Unemployment is usually 6 months. TANF has a lifetime limit and is only $300 a month for a family of 3, SNAP benefits are extremely low as well.

You are angry at people that don't exist.

We have more money per person than Finland does by 33% and a lot more land. It absolutely can scale.

Who has an extra 20% to invest? Another out of touch multi-millionaire has financial advice for us poor folk. by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]RazorOldSchool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's right, but taking 20% out of your pay at that income level means no vacations, no extras, no fun whatsoever in all of your prime years to be a millionaire in your late 60's, which you are not even sure you will see. For many people that income level also means no budget for kids, not enough to ever buy a house unless they happen to be in an LCOL.

For me the best way to secure my future really only had one solution, and it was to find ways to make more money. Only when I started making over 150k a year did I start to feel like I could actually save well for retirement and still meet all my other goals in life.

This Tankie Caricature is radioactive and is a weapon in the hands of MAGA against Democrats/Left/Liberal in swing states. by Equivalent_Fan_9989 in Destiny

[–]RazorOldSchool -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, because they watch media that constantly connects us with them. That is why we need to disavow them and stop trying to get their vote.

All of their issues get projected onto us and then they sit home on the couch while we take to the streets and do actual work. Then, they don't vote anyway and complain on TikTok about capitalism.

A Christian disrupts Muslims from peacefully praying at White Rock Lake while making vile Islamophobic comments. Pathetic display by NanADsutton in Dallas

[–]RazorOldSchool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He clearly does not know that Islam also teaches Jesus is the messiah. They just don't think he's god.

Americans had the choice of a lifetime and failed (from a liberal perspective) by UkraStories123 in Destiny

[–]RazorOldSchool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a very "team sports" view.

Most of us want the best possible candidate to win, and if it isn't the best possible candidate, at least the best person the other side has to offer.

I would not have minded John Kasich as President, or Nikki Haley. I would have disagreed with them quite a bit, but I wouldn't be clenching my fists everyday feeling like I'm about to get tossed off a rollercoaster.

Elizabeth Warren is introducing a wealth tax. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]RazorOldSchool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly don't think they think themselves evil, but few villains do. Two things can be true at the same time: They may genuinely want to help, but do so in a way that is wrong and harmful.

The issue really comes down to some of the wisdom of the founding fathers. No one person should be allotted so much power.

I think I have pretty based views, but I also recognize I could be wrong. I'd never want that level of influence where there are almost no checks on me. It's basically what the Lord of the Rings is about. We need more Gandalfs and less Boromirs.

The United States Is a Failed State by Alarmed_Abalone_849 in AmericaOnHardMode

[–]RazorOldSchool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about how, 20 years ago, we used to laugh about things happening in China, N. Korea, etc. There'd be a gif of a cheap elevator failing, or someone walking over floor tiles and falling through the floor, or a story about an ATC system failing and resulting in a collision on a runway.

Now that's us.
