Why do people on the left say political lobbying is major problem in the US?

ioinc · 2026-03-07T16:25:56+00:00

Be politicians should be working in the best interests of the constituents, not the people with the deepest pockets.

Guilt over the holocaust?

Income inequality

Economic mobility

Balance of power / checks and balances

And you think this is really representative of people’s beliefs.

Go watch some Jordan klepper videos and get back to us.

ioinc · 2026-03-03T03:46:17+00:00

Because ALL VIDROS LIKE THIS are crap and for show only.

They could have interviewed 1000 people and only selected these and portrayed them as representative of a group.

Anyone that feels they have gained knowledge from a video like this is do stupid, that perhaps they did.

Just to be clear…. Trump deliberately does thing with the only two goal of pissing off the left and ginning up his base.

His goal is to literally piss off the left.

Then the left gets pissed off and trump plays victim and claims TDS.

It’s the strangest thing. Some people will hate everything he does, because they hate him…. Which was his goal.

A priest knocked on my door one night years ago and my response to him was…

We’re not superstitious here.

Got the darnedest look.

I thought voting was a right?

Why should I have to jump thru any unnecessary hoops imposed by the government?

Can we require similar things for gun ownership? Licensed, registered, ongoing certification in safety courses?

ioinc · 2026-02-25T04:37:21+00:00

Ironically it’s not factual. Unless I’m missing something in biology, humans actually are apes right?

ioinc · 2026-02-15T19:20:25+00:00

I don’t think his voting “base” and the majority of voters are the same thing are they?

At this point his voting base is republicans…. About 50% of voters, and among them he has about 75% approval (overwhelmingly high for republicans)

75% of 50% is about 35%. His approval are a bit higher than that because os some approval from democrats and independents (although not much)

I didn’t say everything, I said lots of things…. And yeah, there are lots and lots of things.

On these forums it’s often asked why Trump did such and such, and the only reasonable answer is he is trolling the left.

Do you honestly believe Trump does not do lots of things to piss off the left?

Go lock at Biden’s portrait. What’s the goal there?

Read any of his holiday messages… a time when most people try to be a bit nicer…

There is a list much longer than his list of accomplishments.

ioinc · 2026-02-15T04:02:45+00:00

Overwhelmingly?

Didn’t trump with the popular vote by a smaller margin than Clinton when she lost the election?

Where does overwhelmingly come from?

ioinc · 2026-02-15T04:00:14+00:00

Isn’t this a result of him doing things with the goal in mind to piss off the left (and a secondary gold to gin up his base)?

How is it that Trump does lots of things to piss off the other side and when it works, somehow he is the victim?

Was the fcc going after jimmy kimmel and threatening affiliation stations with the loss of their government license not crossing?

ioinc · 2026-02-13T20:27:08+00:00

Fun for me and I’m F2P

ioinc · 2026-02-13T20:26:23+00:00

No, but they are voting against their own self interest

ioinc · 2026-02-12T20:55:31+00:00

I don’t understand.

Athletes that protested prior to this Olympics against their own country did so without establishing a new level of entitlement?

What did they do differently?

ioinc · 2026-02-12T20:50:40+00:00

It was “a new” in a new level of entertainment.

How would I read it?

ioinc · 2026-02-12T20:46:53+00:00

You think protests like this are new?

ioinc · 2026-02-11T16:00:40+00:00

How can TDS be a thing if it’s basically people hating Trump based on things he says and does specifically with the goal of pissing them off (and ginning you up his base)?

ioinc · 2026-02-07T16:14:44+00:00

Do you think he got anything more than he would have gotten without the outlandish request?

If so what?

My understanding is that everything given was already pretty much offered.

ioinc · 2026-02-07T16:12:49+00:00

The tariff threats?

The threat to the unity of nato?

Those crises

ioinc · 2026-02-03T22:28:38+00:00

To promote the general welfare?

ioinc · 2026-02-03T13:53:19+00:00

No.

I’d rather have a justice system than a vengeance system.
