Quote from: Baruch on December 06, 2017, 08:08:04 PMWilson, FDR, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, Carter, Clinton ... need I say more?

Yes. Yes you do. Not one of those people are comparable to the Idiot-in-Chief we have now, and the policies of Democrats are not even a tenth of a percent as destructive to our economy and our freedoms as the policies of the Christian-led Republican party of fascists in denial.

Quote from: Baruch on December 06, 2017, 08:08:04 PMSince ... a party = your President in office ... then the Democrat party must not exist right now?

Strawman argument.

Quote from: Baruch on December 06, 2017, 08:08:04 PMI don't think the Republicans are all of one mind ... not that I like what any of them are thinking.

Considering how amazingly few of them can find a single fault with Donald Dump, I don't think it could be said that they are very good at thinking for themselves. Especially considering a large majority of them regularly sit in church, allowing a preacher or pastor to tell them what to think, based loosely on an old book of fairytales.

Quote from: Baruch on December 06, 2017, 08:08:04 PMWho literally took the Democrat party to broke, before Hillary got her liver spot hands on it?  Obama.

You mean the intelligent first black President of the United States? You can't just name a person and expect me to agree with you.

"You know what's wrong with this country? Jeff Bridges?" ...Okay? What about him?

If you think Obama was a bad President, defend your claim. And if you think he is comparable to Trump, give me a break. What part didn't you like? When he tried to make insurance affordable to everyone? When he had the most infamous Islamic terrorist found and assassinated?

Quote from: Baruch on December 06, 2017, 08:08:04 PMConcentrate on Congress ... or don't bother with politics.  And those Democrats?  Seen plenty of their crappy ideas since 2009 ... and more before that.

Such as...what? Respecting a woman's choice to have an abortion? Laying the foundation for equal rights for the LGBT+?

Quote from: Baruch on December 06, 2017, 08:08:04 PMSee ... the US isn't a monarchy yet ... it is an oligarchy ... not an autocracy yet.  Get there, and make sure the king is a Democrat ... and you can faint from physical pleasure ... your utopia will have arrived.

Okay?

Baruch, that doesn't answer the question. What did those Democratic presidents do that parallels the Trump Shit Machine?

Being a Democratic President = Satan.  I said so, it must be true ;-)

Actually I like Truman a lot, but then, I am totally evil.

After 2016/2017, I want to retroactively reverse every D vote I have ever made.  D candidates need to be euthanized ... right next to the R candidates.

D people = master race, bringers of utopia ... sure they are.

Which questions?

Are only Democrats evil?  Of course not ... all Americans are evil (because all humans are evil).

But I would prefer my fellow Americans to get out of the duopoly ... and start voting for third party groups ... like civilized people do in Europe.  There are more than two false opinions in the body politic.  And with the duopoly ... you actually are represented by a single false opinion (narrative ... the people want X, not Y).

I investigated the third party options last major election. They weren't any better.

What exactly has the Democratic party done that is compatible to the disaster that is the Trump Presidency?

1. First-past-the-post/winner-takes-all voting naturally disadvantages third parties.
2. The third parties are drawn from the same source as major parties, and they show it.

Did you run for office, even dog catcher?  If you don't participate by running for office, but expect Big Brother to run as candidate ... don't blame me.  Typical passive-aggressive voter.  Don't like the present anti-third-party system?  Have you proposed proportional representation like some other countries have?  And get a constitutional amendment to enact it?

The US died in 1783-1787 with the coup against the Articles of Confederation.  The US died again in 1860-1865 with a premature attempt at secession (set into motion by the coup of 1787).  The US died again in 1914, when it became fully hostage to the BoE with the creation of the Federal Reserve (set into motion by the original central banks of 1782 ... 1791 ... 1816-1836).  The US died again in 1963 with the replacement of JFK by a CIA/FBI junta.  It is perhaps  getting ready to die again ...

Your bizarre claims of US government death many times and the conspiracy theories that followed is troublesome.  And I don't mean that your claims trouble me; they are easily falsifiable.  It is your belief that they are true trouble me.  You might actually out-conspiracy Trump...

Do you know what a Central Bank is?  Do you think we still operate under the Articles of Confederation?  Are you opposed to proportional representation?  Your response was just ad hominem.  Almost all of us, only know the US government post 1963 ... it seems normal to us.  Confirmation bias.

You claimed "The US died in 1783-1787 with the coup against the Articles of Confederation."  And now you ask if I "think we still operate under the Articles of Confederation"?  You are being contradictory.

I am for proportional representation.  If it wasn't Gerrymandered.  When one party wins 70% of a statewide vote yet gets 40% of the Congressmen, there is something rotten in the halls of Denmark.

I know what a Central Bank is.  It is what keeps us from regular Boom Bust cycles every couple of years.  The other years are when Republicans give the store away to the rich and raise the national debt.  No one but Republicans can stop that.

You stated "Almost all of us, only know the US government post 1963", and yet posted all that nonsense about previous scores of years before then.

And you do that without the LEAST hint of embarrassment?  You are laughable.
