Democrats drift into Marxism. Why?

[Father Heathen]

Defund the police. The first rallying cry of the reds.

Non sequitur.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Yep, the democrats are center right by global standards.
U.S. conservatives use "marxism", "socialism", "communism", etc. to refer to anything they either don't like or understand. They don't deserve to be taken seriously.

Not when the US is rapidly plummeting down the freedom index it isn't.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Non sequitur.

So you think.

 

[Father Heathen]

Opinions come from somewhere. Especially the cited and referenced ones.

The opinion pieces you linked where by imbeciles. We already know people on the right **** their pants over their goofy red scare.

Really?

 

[Father Heathen]

I know, right? What with the opposition to the separation of church and state, LGBT rights, reproductive rights, cannabis legalization, library books, etc.

Oh, wait. That isn't the left.

More vauge deflection.

Like BLM?

Yeaaa.... riggght..... that isnt the left.... yeaaa..

 

[Father Heathen]

Really?

And that is what's making you **** your pants in fear?

 

[Father Heathen]

More vauge deflection.

Like BLM?

Yeaaa.... riggght..... that isnt the left.... yeaaa..

BLM isn't the government. What are they going to do, tip over some more trashcans?

 

[Revoltingest]

Did i say get rid of the military? No. Just stop funding them as much do we really need to spend trillions each year on the military? We could still spend money on the military just move a lot of that money to other things as well.

OK.
"Defund" suggested no funding.
That would mean no military.

 

[VoidCat]

OK.
"Defund" suggested no funding.

I was using the term many use to describe moving resources elsewhere like when they say defund the police. It's a bit of a misnomer. They dont really want to refund them just move resources elsewhere

 

[Father Heathen]

That's a pretty pathetic state to be in.

Brainwashed from an early age I would wager?

If you're talking about U.S. conservatives, you're right, considering how embarrassingly misinformed and out of touch they are with the world at large.

Oh it's more than just conservatives.

 

[Father Heathen]

Except that the brainwashing is mostly within the US.

Conservatives in the U.S. are very insular. They know or care little about the world beyond their backward, backwater enclaves.

 

[Father Heathen]

Oh it's more than just conservatives.

Sure, but let's look at proportions.

Oh the people in government that some trained Marxists can influence....

I often wonder what people really mean.
So many "flexible" terms.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Let's see. Last Republican governor of good ole Cali was Arnold. Right?

That was when? Way back in 2003 to 2007?

Several states at least are like that. It's partly why our current two party system is generally not competitive and highly predictable. Such as, Indiana hasn't voted for a Dem governor since Frank O'Bannon's last election back in 2000.

Then there was the intentional banning of Republicans names on the election ballot as well if I recall.....

No, it was removing anyone from the ballot who doesn't disclose their taxes, and just from the primary.

 

[Father Heathen]

I mention them all the time. Particularly states rights.

When individual states started legalizing gay marriage (before it was legalized nationwide) republicans tried to ban it at the federal level. Same with cannabis. Republicans are always the ones trying to block individual states from legalizing it.

Speaking of rights. It's very interesting that you wept over plastic shopping bags, but not over women's uteruses. What should we glean from this?

 

[SkepticThinker]

Oh the people in government that some trained Marxists can influence....

Kneeling is Marxist now? Okay then.
