US American politics

[Dpooly84]

I'm seeing allot of backlash in Democratic run cities, New York, Chicago, Oakland/San Fran, Portland and Seattle. Don't complain about the illegals and rampant crime and drug use, when this is exactly what you voted for. You listened to flowery words that sounded nice but had no basis in reality. My how these progressive cities are flourishing... I guess if you like zombie junkies, hypodermic needles, and piles off human feces everywhere, enjoy the chaos you voted for.

I'm watching these videos of African American women in NY decimating Eric Adams at town halls, the same in Chicago with Brandon Johnson. And videos of African American business owners in Oakland crying for help, and it's all f'n sad. The really sad part is African American women vote Democrat 95% of the time. Do people know that the Republican party was started to fight the democrats who supported slavery? The confederacy were democrats, the republic fought to free slaves. Do you know who started the kkk? It was the democrats, these are facts; check them.

It's crazy how freely Joe bidens Crack head son hunter uses the n word when his father said in 77, and I QUOTE "Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this." This was in response to desegregation. Then in 2019 told a black man to his face, that he wasn't black if he don't vote for him. An episode of the breakfast club.

I don't disagree that the Democrats are full of problems, but I think that the Republicians aren't much better. I see them as being from the same rotten foundation.

That's fair, I'm pretty in the middle but the left is constantly attacked with lies and it's bs. The right is the obviously the racist side.

I often feel that the Democrat and Republician parties aren't as divided on many issues as they claim to be, and many of them use the tactics of Divide and Conquer to keep the people in line while elite politicians reap the benefits.

That being said, I do believe that voting is important, but who to vote for is dependent on a variety of factors. I currently align more with the Republician Party because I see the Democrats as being more subservient to the ideology of Cultural Marxism, but unfortunately the Republician Party has its fair share of Communist Sympathisers.

You're response shows that you already known what I'm talking about. Just know who you're voting for.

Of course. But it's not the Republicans that want to trans the children, let them mutilate their genitals and sterilize themselves while having the schools encourage this and hide it from the parents, put drag queens in classrooms, open borders, and going after both free speech and the 2nd amendment. At worst, you could say the Republicans are big on abortion restrictions, a lot of them are Christian, and they don't believe the world will end in 10 years if we don't rely on solar and wind (and they don't deny climate change, they just believe we can innovate our way around it while the tech is developed to directly combat it if need be). So what?

I do think striking down Roe V. Wade was a bad move for them, though. They were on a nice path until that. They should have just let it go, even if it was a super flimsy decision that didn't hold any water.

Yo I'm right there with you, I don't agree with abortions. But I also feel like I have no right in telling a woman what she can do with her body. That's not the hill I'm willing to die on. There's clear medical reasons why some women would need a abortion

I didn't say that I disagree with abortions. I'm fine with them. If there is to be strict legislature that prohibits them after 3-4 months, I'm good with that, but abortions themselves are fine* beyond that. I'd even have them mandated in certain cases. I just think for Republicans and the kind of move we need to see, they should have let the Roe V Wade easy win go. They grossly underestimated the blowback.

* Not fine, in that it's really ending a life, but fine in that they're available. And it shouldn't be a trivial thing and certainly not a thing that's celebrated. Because that's some dark sh** right there. And how can we pretend it's not a life, but charge someone with two counts of murder if someone shoots a pregnant woman?

It's pretty funny how many leftis this board has but nobody wants to dispute these facts? Why is that? Let's go hit me with some facts please!

As I'm sure you know, if leftists could parse facts from propaganda they wouldn't be leftists.

It's much easier to comprehend when you understand that this is a religion to them.

They can not handle places which are not echo chambers.

Their churches, basically.

Yes, it is. It’s a cult.

[robertfiduciary]

Oi. The dumbest people.

Anyway, here's a real interesting article which discusses how the majority of gun deaths actually take place in rural areas. NOT cities.

/https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/map-gun-death-rates-lower-cities-than-rural-counties-rcna81462

And let's just be completely honest here:

You're not "seeing a lot" (which is how you spell that word, btw) of anything in those cities. In the past two years, I've been to New York and Chicago. Have you? Or have you been "seeing a lot" of that on television? You know, on that "news" channel you all pretend that you don't watch.

(And, to be perfectly clear: even if you *don't* actually watch Fox "News," guess what? Whatever "news" source you're digesting probably... gets... their... information... from... Fox... "News").

So, yeah. Please tell everyone which of those cities you've been to. Chicago has problems, sure. All places do! But isn't it weird, just isn't it odd, how all the cities always cited by these "news" stories have predominately non-white people in them?

And isn't it weird, too, how Fox "News" caters to... oh, yeah. White people?

Probably just a coincidence. Probably nothing to notice at all.

I'd sure be interested in reading about more things you're "seeing allot" of, though. Maybe next time you could cite a source, like I did? It'll make you a hair more credible. Which shouldn't be hard.

Because right now, you're not credible at all.

But you don’t actually live in either of those places, do you? In all honestly, would you move there? Probably not. Even New Yorkers hate New York City, especially now. People are moving into rural areas in droves because of the ridiculous high cost of living, violent atmosphere, and totalitarian blue policies that they have to endure in the city.

So what’s your beacon of truth? CNN? MSNBC? BuzzFeed? The Mary Sue?

Well, neither, but years ago my family traveled to Washington D.C for vacation and we decided to ride in the Metro. It was jam-packed in the train and some homeless idiot tried to bring his bike in with him, even though there was a sign that clearly said “No Bikes Allowed”. Nobody would move to let him in, nor would they say anything to him. Finally my Southern Dad who never took bs from anybody told him that what he was doing was wrong, and he was the only one in the whole crowd who spoke up. Finally the guy managed to squeeze in with his bike and during the whole ride he yelled incoherently in my Dad’s face. I remember him saying that he spent the night in the train. That was my first taste of city life.

My point? In the city, you’re either a compliant, silent sheep or a you’re a lawless thug, and if you do have a noble bone in your body and decide to be the hero, you get punished for it. That’s why people will just stand by and watch as someone gets r*ped in the subway rather than help them, and why they’ll let thieves just walk out of a store with the stolen items in their hands. The shoplifting situation in Chicago is so bad that if you need to buy a small jar of Vaseline at Walgreens, it’s locked up behind glass and you need an employee to come open it with a key. Where I live, we only do that for valuable vintage items at flea markets.

Um, the largest ethnic groups in both Chicago and New York are white.

You cited NBC. That discredits you already
