The Human Crouton posted:I wasn't aware of Trump's plan to shut down all government assistance for poor people. Sneaky guy; getting that past me. George W. Bush Jr. acting as a puppet for the Republican Party has already accelerated this process. Make no mistake, Trump is a shill and a prospective puppet also, it won't take take long to complete the process with him in power. Trump has no idea how to lead in public office since you would need some knowledge of how foreign policy works, how the economy works, how the government works etc. In short, he would have to have some idea how to run a country in order to avoid becoming a republican controlled puppet. However, since he has no such experience, knowledge, preparation or even a vague grasp of what it takes to be a good president, he will do what most republican figureheads in office tend to do. He will cut government spending on social programs, embark on new useless wars that generate profits for military arms production, and he will contribute to the continuing development of a militaristic racist conservative police state. If some of us don't realize this, it's because they weren't paying attention during the Reagan and later the Bush Jr. administration. On the other hand, perhaps they weren't struggling during those periods so they never felt the costs of a government that is nearly completely apathetic to the welfare of its most disadvantaged citizens. Many of the measures instituted with FDR's New Deal and LBJ's War on Poverty have been slowly getting peeled back with each successive Republican presidency. If some of you haven't been noticing this, I seriously can't see how that is. Willful ignorance however, can always be the case. Princess Di has issued a correction as of 00:05 on Jul 13, 2016 |

Not a Step posted:*supports using the military as police in other nations* Nope. Yet again, you are talking about conservatives. People voted for Obama in no small part because of the hope he would close Guantanamo, end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and stop with the mealy mouthed claims that armies need to stay in these countries in order to help citizens rebuild. Of course, as we know now this didn't happen. Because: blowhard bribed somewhat unhinged conservatives.

Princess Di posted:George W. Bush Jr. acting as a puppet for the Republican Party has already accelerated this process. This post is why the two party system is a dangerous thing. Notice how the subject projects and envelopes all of its disapproval onto one target. It is the nature of the human, as a communal beast, to want to justify itself in all things, as it believes that if it convinces itself that it is altruistic then other humans will also see it as altruistic and be more likely to render favor toward it. This misleading of oneself is normally good for the species in long term, but can have dangerous outcomes under certain specific short term conditions. One such behavior is when the human is presented with a binary choice. When presented with a binary choice, one may simply refuse to accept that its choice is more flawed in any way than the opposite choice because it believes in its mind that the flaws of its choice may carry over onto itself, and therefore make it a more risky member of its social group. It is often easier for a human to encapsulate what are actually a myriad of ideas into one base opinion knowing that they are more likely to find agreement with those in their immediate social group if they each agree to create a common enemy rather than risk learning that they might disagree about any topic of substance. Expand this behavior onto a larger scale, and one can see that Princess Di is responsible for environment that produced the choices we have in the 2016 election.

Powercrazy posted:Sorry I still posses critical thought and don't immediately assume an ignorant binary position on all issues, you racist. So, when an election rolls around...do you vote at all? Just wondering. The Human Crouton posted:This post is why the two party system is a dangerous thing. See the thing about only having two choices, is you can only choose one. This requires you to make the least harmful and most beneficial choice for most people. If you don't make any choice at all, you have done nothing, therefore you are allowing your circumstances to make your decisions for you. Case in point: you have two job offers and both of them are dismal. You are supporting a family so you have to consider supporting people who can't support themselves so you need health insurance and better pay. You pick the job that offers more comprehensive health insurance verses the one that doesn't. You will probably choose the position the pays slightly more. Ideally, you would not work at all or only do work you love, in such cases you would be on eternal vacation because you would be independently wealthy. However, you aren't independently wealthy, so you have to make hard choices. You need to pick the option you dislike the least. Powercrazy posted:To clarify, it isn't princess di the poster that is responsible for jack or poo poo, it is the basic mentality of the sheeple that the poster is representative of. At you using "sheeple" By the way, sheep behavior is generally standing around looking at stuff without even attempting an iota of change. Just saying. snakeandbake posted:*is adamant that Bernie Sanders would have never been able to enact any of his unrealistic far-fetched policies* * pretty sure Trump is retarded which is why he will make a fine puppet for the Republican Party* *is aware that mass deportations have already occurred in this country on a national scale.

Princess Di posted:George W. Bush Jr. acting as a puppet for the Republican Party has already accelerated this process. The Democrats are repealing the New Deal as well. Clinton ended welfare and got closer to privatizing it than any Republican, he's on the record as agreeing with Ryan over cuts to social security. Obama spoke at length about the need to cut social security before running for office, and pushed hard as hell for cuts to it only to be blocked by crazy Republicans. Hillary has spoken out against defined benefit programs. Claiming the Democrats are the party of FDR and the New Deal is as insane and utter bullshit as claiming the Republicans are the party of Lincoln and Civil Rights. The difference is do want gently caress over everyone regardless of race and sex to help the top 10% and finance/tech/insurance/creative industries? Or do you want to gently caress over minorities and women more to help the top 1% and resource extraction/fast food/service industries? Because if you aren't in that top 10%, you're on the menu for dinner and you are going to get hurt and get hurt good and proper.
