The Democratic Field is Unacceptable, Or, Why It All Matters
From a friend, who nails it:
Published in GeneralMost of the legitimate extreme objections to Trump are “personal” — to his rhetoric, his personality, his style. Sure, people of good faith can object to this policy or action or that — but that’s true of any President. Trump has not fundamentally changed or transformed the country, and 90%-plus of his policies and actions fall within the window of what could easily have been done by one or more of his predecessors. My objections to most of the Democratic candidates are not personal (except maybe in Schoolmarm Liz’s case) — they are rooted in policy. Policies rooted in collectivism and “social justice theory” (the bastard child of Frankfurt School Marxism and postwar French deconstructionism), that no credible candidate seems ready to disavow, are (a) repugnant to me, and (b) well outside this country’s historical norms. Four more years of Trump will not fundamentally change the country. Four years of a semi-moderate Democrat with a Republican Senate probably won’t either. But four years of Liz or Bernie or (probably) Joe, without a GOP Senate, probably would. I do not want my children to have to grow up in a bigger, worse version of 1970s Britain.
No.
Obama lied, then they passed it with a parliamentary trick. Single payer is inevitable now.

This is fair, but few will talk like that.
There’s a guy in Minnesota @shabbosgoy that turned me around on Trump. He basically makes the same case as David Horwitz, Michael Walsh, or Angelo Codedivilla. Trump does some things very well that are very necessary but he’s not that great on everything.
My main objections to him have stayed the same. He lacks civic executive experience. He lacks civic knowledge and government knowledge. He lacks foreign policy knowledge. He’s a worse inflationist than the average American by far.
Government Is How We Steal From Each Other™
markets are reacting negatively to the rise of liz warren.
this fraud likes to lecture us on ‘accountable’ capitalism.
has she been held accountable for her fraud? for lying about her heritage? for the millions of dollars she has made from her fake cherokee background?
