RE: Why Aren't Democrats

in #discussion6 years ago

Perhaps because they have a bit more empathy for all the lives ruined around the world to maintain American economic supremacy.

Perhaps because the nation is founded on genocide and slavery

Perhaps because their democracy is founded on spending power and therefore lends itself to oligarchy rather than democracy.

Perhaps because America has pulled out of the Paris climate accord - refusing to face the biggest challenge our species has ever faced in favor of making a few more billions for the oligarchy.

Perhaps because American police routinely kill black people.

Perhaps because mass shootings of kids is a regular occurrence and yet the oligarchy will not change gun laws preferring instead to sell weapons into a society that then routinely churns out mass shootings.

Perhaps because America has more wealth than it has ever had yet there are an awful lot of poor people and many of those with jobs are living on a knife edge unable to cope with any financial shock like their car breaking down.

Perhaps because the POTUS is a misogynist.

Perhaps because year on year America increases military spending at the expense of the welfare budget.

Whatever it is, it’s damned unpatriotic.

well you've obviously swallowed the koolaide. Everything you say is wrong. Rather that debunk each and every invalid point I'll just tackle this one.

For one thing the US is the ONLY country that met the so called 'carbon requirements'. None of the other signees did. The US isn't even a member any longer but it's doing a better job than those who are.

No need to really. CO2 is plant food. It has zero effect on non existent global warming. The world is actually getting cooler. If CO2 had any effect then we'd be doing exactly the WRONG thing. More people die from cold than heat. More plants and animals die from cold than from heat.f

Also everything else you said is wrong either in part or in whole.

it's just sour grapes.

so the welfare budget going down because there are 3 million fewer people collecting food stamps is bad?
