Well it's more that even with indentured servitude there were not enough people who would choose to work tobacco plantations and they could only kidnap so many teenagers from England so the needed somewhere else to kidnap people from. Plus they could then justify converting them all to Calvinism and then keeping them enslaved unlike indentured servants.

People have a weird habit of remembering Bill Clinton as a Leftist.

Bill bears a pretty big part of responsibility for the political world we live in today because of how he undercut the GOP platform in '96 and shoved the GOP far right.

We're lucky Lewinsky came forward or he would've pushed Social Security 'reform' too.

I never understood the notion that ideological purity demands that leftists not participate in government. Like guys. Guys. We live in a global super power with a major fascist movement. And that major fascist movement is on the brink of collapse. We have an actual shot at staking out a strong position in the political discourse of the global superpower.

And you want to vote for Jill Stein. :v:

What exactly are these not bad Republicans that don't care about any of the moral issues like gays, racism, or misogyny voting for when Republicans are notably terrible for both local and national economies and Democrats are not exactly socialists?

I'm not going to make the extreme case that Republican voters are bad and evil because identify politics in this country are very strong and stuff is complicated, but lets not pretend their current platform has any valid points.

I know one (1) republican who really is just in it for the low taxes and nothing else, but he wants those tax cuts sooo badly. I havent seen him in ages, so I dont know id he is planning to vote for Trump, I'd imagine he is probably voting for Gary Johnson or McMuffin

Reminder that under predominantly "liberal" policies of the last 25 years black and Latinos still make half as much money as white people, and your champion of minorities used to call black people super predators and just 8 years ago didn't want those gays to be able to marry.

All while not having a single peep this election about income inequality between races good job "liberals"

Now look at the branches of government that actually make the laws and regulations. And the courts that interpret those laws.

An alternative explanation seems to be a biological one- malaria was a huge problem in Virginia southwards especially, and English workers kept getting incapacitated or worse, while slaves would be more tolerant due to consistent exposure.

I am being trollish im sorry but I'm dead serious that the Democratic handling of income inequality for certain minority groups is nothing more than an afterthought. They can shout Black Lives Matter but much like the argument for abortion it is hard to believe they actually think those lives matter unless they're properly cared for.

You realize that by and large you're preaching to the choir, right?

Very few of us are voting Dem because we're so loving thrilled to at best get the status quo for the next four to eight years.

As soon as we retake control of the House maybe we can begin to address these issues.

Unfortunately this probably isn't going to happen so it looks like we're doomed to Republican obstructionism for at least the next 4 years.

Don't forget the 12 years of Reagan-Bush before this. The 8 years of Clinton was a half hearted softening of that, Bush II brought it back, and Obama was a 3/4 hearted rollback.

If there was a big initiative or push like for health care reform and it failed I wouldn't be mad about it. But there hasn't even been a conversation this cycle(outside of a few random people asking Bernie about reparations).
