Politics What if it turns out the other side was right?

There you go, this is a perfect example of generalizing as there are likely some corrupt people on both sides just as there are good people on both sides. My wife is a democrat and I am an independent and several times you have labeled me as a democrat. That statement is simply false.

 

But not all republicans are conservative either. *Stands up and pounds Chest*


Some of us are liberal republicans. A once dying breed that is now back on the upswing ( I hope)

 

VERY TRUE!! Eisenhower was a liberal Republican!

Those are the best republicans.

 

Rino! is the real term.

 

and conservative demo's are the best demos', right?

 

I'll be the judge of that.

 

No. I can't stand Hillary Clinton.

She's Republican lite.

 

You're saying Eisenhower wasn't a great president???

 

To be fair, I suppose I would rate him better than average. All though as my C&C, I did not think highly of him at the time. Never got past that either.

 

I disagree, I know racism is a big problem, but the biggest divide in this country in my opinion is between the haves and have nots.
This is also where I believe the corruptions on both the reps and dems is so cohesive. They’re in bed together making laws to make their rich friends richer. Its Crony capatilism. Even that divide plays into racism in america. The republicans have played into it by telling working white middle class people, hey all the liberals want to take your money via taxes or whatever for minorities. The democrats have told minorities that if those middle class white people vote for their pocket books its being racist. All the while the gap between the ultra rich and “us normie” widens and wide s as they profit from us fighting with each other.
Even the Bernie Sanders of the world seem to be driven mainly by his checking account.

 

There's inherent hypocrisy in this post Cippy if you think about it. Read your posts about S2 liberals and tell me you're not generalizing a whole group

 

both 'sides' might be to blame for various things, but it seems to ME, (that's all), that the 'division' however caused by the left is in response to, or a reaction to, the right. You have the KKK for example, without it, the left doesn't react. You may say "there are black racists out there'. Sure - fine, but do you think they are hateful of white people for no reason? Or maybe because they've been treated like dogshit? Why is there this antifa crowd? Do I like them - no. But they were created in response to something. Who was that?

 

I have done it before. Was wrong on some of them. That’s why I say not to generalize. I think everybody has done it before. Does no good to keep doing it.

 

I believe that people who place racism lower on our list of priorities than number 1 is because they have never had to endure it their entire lives and the lives of all their ancestors the way Black Americans have had to endure it. Think of all the lynchings, the being turned down for an apartment or even a hotel room. Think about having to go to the back door of a restaurant to eat because you're not allowed inside. Think about all the people who call you Nigger. Think about not being allowed to drive after dark. Think about being stopped constantly because of nothing more than your skin color. Think about the people who give you ugly looks or ignore you. Think about the people who were railroaded into guilty pleas. Think about the jobs you were denied until you were approved as a dishwasher or sharecropper. Good grief, our so called President, Donald Trump, got sued for not renting to Black Americans. You don't see it but they do.

 

How is Hillary not 'clean'?

 

Most have done it and we all have to work at not doing it. It's a life long pursuit.
