Thread was closed because some people couldn’t handle it. Explanation of over reaching ideas.

Over reaching leftist ideas, the gist is giving government more control over our everyday lives.

examples.  Green new deal.  Let’s regulate everything because the government knows best.  

2nd amendment, regardless of the fact that a semi automatic rifle is the same as a glock handgun, let’s ban them because they look scary

instead of my great healthcare I have, let me trade it in for what the government says is better.

just because I happened to be successful, let me pay more and more federal taxes to compensate those who aren’t.  And while we are at it, let’s demonize successful people for not pulling their share, that is except artist, musicians, athletes, musicians because they entertain us.  But those other successful people, they need to pay more!!

a federal minimum wage.  Yea because 15 in New York is the same as 15 in Alabama.  Any plan on how to offset those that already make and earn over 15?

just a couple of examples.  I can list more if you still are not sure of what leftists over reach means.  It means giving the federal government more power.  Just remember, the people that work in government are the same that work in corporations, they both work to ensure they stay in power and get rich.  You can support them now because you think they are on your side and you will benefit.  Let’s see what happens when that doesn’t work out, because if you know anything about history, it doesn’t.

    No Boogy man, just history to look back on.  I’m not being overly sarcastic or attacking anyone.  Unlike you, but that’s why I didn’t engage in the last post and this will be my last engagement here.  Instead of this being a place to to express different ideas, explore the whys and the concerns, it’s a place that is an echochamber of none discussion but whatever sarcastic run of the mill put down they can muster and post.  Just speaking from a different point of view, take it or leave it.

    Apparently not.  Well then!

    OK, well first of all, the definition of "leftist" is- to me anyway- very vague.  Are we talking about "left-leaning" people (as defined by Oxford Languages on Google) or commie pinko freaks (as defined by conservatives circa 1965-1972), or south paws.

    Let's get that straight and then we'll take it from there.

    What about banning of abortion... a-ok?  War on drugs?  Banning gay marriage?  Pouring our money into the bottomless government military is fine while people starve?  The vast amounts of money grifted in trump's businesses so he can golf and lounge while a worldwide meeting is taking place?  Blasting protesters for a silly photo-op?  Militarized police?  

    Is the fda good?  Should Nabisco be allowed to cut costs and put mercury in my triscuits?  Should there be unchecked pollution and poisoning of our water and air?

    Travel/air safety that rivals Russia?  Car manufacturers that cut corners?

    Public education bad?

    And yes, for-profit healthcare needs to be reined in or it's going to engulf our society.  Most of the civilized world has figured this out.  


    I do not like certain things.  I disagree with student loan forgiveness, that should be adjusted.  Some of the AA stuff attacking businesses who they hire is crap.  I dislike our society's need to tear people down for a mishap, especially one that took place many years ago when times are different.

    And yet you didn’t explain this history of yours that seems so prevalent and obvious, nor list more. “15 in New York is the same as 15 in Alabama,” wow what an intellectual exercise.

    Raising taxes and expanding t federal government is only ok when it goes to the military and helps the rich.  Expanding deficits are fine, but you better not get it in your head to actually raise taxes on those who benefit from this system the most in order to pay the bills and help the poor.   Oh conservatism, what a mental mindfuck

    Why do people respond to obvious trolls trolling in homage to the troll-in-chief?

    He even said he would not respond

    He wants people to respond the way they do
    To get riled up
    Stop giving him the satisfaction 

    This is going to be blocked soon anyway

    Thanks God for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

    Have people get to jerk off their gun collection without regulations, or have a better society for the citizens. PICK YOUR POISON

    Similarly, several reports have listed Scandinavian and other social-democratic countries as ranking high on indicators such as civil liberties,[493] democracy,[494] press,[495] labour and economic freedoms,[496] peace[497] and freedom from corruption.[498] Numerous studies and surveys indicate that people tend to live happier lives in countries ruled by social-democratic parties, compared to countries ruled by neoliberal, centrist and right-wing governments.[499]
