US Politics Thread

[BlueHammer85]

ironically, you tend to skip a REALLY crucial question (par for the course on here) in what do the Dems have to offer in actual policy? Nobody has answered that really easy question.

You like to dance around it.

What have they offered in policy that they achieved for the people in their quest to seek 'friends' across the aisle?

So far, I see both in agreement on war and funding war, lack of healthcare and wage suppression.

But the Dems are specialists in fear. Look at how they begged for funding off RvW!

You people...

here's my post from a few days ago which you ignored

'avoiding' and 'dancing' around what the dems actually do...

Superb, well done Biden and co


The United States Senate has approved a sweeping package that supporters say will slash climate heating carbon emissions, lower drug prices for the elderly and demand higher taxes from corporations and the wealthy.

The legislation is less ambitious than President Joe Biden's original domestic goals, but still a major victory that Democrats hope will boost their chances of clinging on to their slim House and Senate majorities in November's mid-term elections.


"The Senate is making history," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, after pumping his fists in the air as Democrats cheered and their staff celebrated the vote with a standing ovation.

"To Americans who've lost faith that Congress can do big things, this bill is for you," he said. "This bill is going to change America for decades."

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) encapsulates party ideals of tackling global heating, slashing prescription drug costs and taxing big corporations - with almost $400 billion of the total funds earmarked for climate and energy measures.

LOL! I might not agree with Damocles as a whole and there are aspects I agreed with

"What did we get? Basically nothing. No big wars (under Biden whilst Trump wanted troops out of the middle east?), no genocides (nothing noted under Trump that I can recall) or tanks rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue (plenty of police weaponry have rolled down streets under Obama), no war with Russia (not under Trump... again!)or Syria (the US are still occupying the oil fields, no?), no concentration camps for Muslims (I must have missed that like I did with Obama and Biden's kids-in-camps avoidance). In the end we got a strongly opinionated and pretty uncouth standard Republican. Legislatively, the country is almost no different now than it was 4 years ago (not that far off and happened under Biden again!).

In 10 years nobody will remember a single detail of his Presidency (Wrong, The MSM and Dems have kept him relevant) and instead they'll be focused on the next Republican who is definitely a racist fascist (looking like DeSantis, so maybe Damo's right here) and going to be the end of us all, just like Trump was, just like Romney was, just like Bush was. Hell, he might even become a figure of "well he wasn't that bad" if he gives out some sweets to the First Lady and does a bit of painting.

When I think of the last 4 years, I won't think of what the US right gained but instead what the US left lost. They lost their perspective, they lost their rationality and they lost their moral high ground. They lost their minds. (agreed)"

It's funny how you people read information/ opinion.

Thought about doing the same thing. Saved me a job :)

If we are being honest there is a good chance he was just taken in by Trump's performance in WWE and still nursing a semi when he posred that.

The irony is that it’s called the Battle of the Billionaires when there aren’t any actually on the screen.

Didn't ignore it, sweetheart.

I posted a retort about what was ACTUALLY in the bill.

Oh dear...

In 2109 Trump wanted to bomb Iran and gave the order. The clock counted down to 30 seconds from starting a war that was only prevented at (literally) the last minute by his frantic military advisers. In 2020 he was still threatening to bomb 52 Iranian cultural sites.

No war with Russia now or under Trump. Biden has stood up to Putin and drawn a line in the sand while Trump was Putin's puppet and useful idiot for 4 years. He publicly exonerated Russia from the Novichok attacks in the UK despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. He publicly stated that he trusted Putin's security service over his own. If Trump was still president he would as usual have turned a blind eye to Putin's invasion of Ukraine which would have been completely occupied by Russia with a puppet government installed in Kyiv months ago. Don't forget when the invasion happened Trump called Putin "savvy" and "a genius" and flat refused to call him evil or an enemy. Not once in his 4 years in the White House did Trump confront Putin over his human rights abuses, political murders or territorial aggression.

Trump withdrew US troops from Syria in 2019 thereby giving his old pal Erdogan the green light to send his tanks to massacre Kurds who had fought gallantly by America's side against ISIS. He betrayed them and abandoned them to their deaths.

First of all, doubt future Trump would be alive to do all that.

Secondly, I'm not disputing much of what you say. That wasn't in the quote I responded to.

I could ask what Biden has done about Erdogan since that time, but I don't think I've heard it mentioned anywhere in MSM as a big news story under Biden's watch. Funny that...

Let me ask you; do you see the US as the world police and should they get involved with every situation? Moreover, if the US should be World Police, why do they sell arms to powerful regimes that use them to kill unequal nationals? Israel and Palestine comes to mind as an example.

Bigga you are too old for crack now.

Best give it up or you will have no teeth in your retirement and you'll have to go see a loan shark to get dentures.

There will be no chance of you getting an appointment with an NHS dentist.

I posted similar antics to this in the last midterm elections. It was roundly applauded on here that the Dems should have done their deed to battle the GOP.

Seems a judge in 2022 is doing the right thing here, giving people a choice of vote. As I said then and 'Breaking Points' are saying now... "Beat them on the ballot".
