Democratic Party

Someone accusing me of something I never said and positions I've never supported is merely flaming me is not a "discussion". If you can't see that then I may as well ignore you as well.

 

Nobody cares dude. Ignore along Just do so already and shut up about it.

 

Why thank you for your blessing. I feel so relieved.

 

Keep practicing. You can do it! :cheers2:

 

The problem is that the US has a two party political system in a country that is split politically into some 6 main groupings

You have on the right –

Right wing libertarian

The Conservative Christian Right

And what is dubbed these days as the ‘Moderate’ Right

And on the less right

One nation Tories

Liberal Democrats

Socialists

(Just as an aside in most countries the only ones that would be thought of as left wing would be the socialists)

So what you get in your two party state is factions of these groupings within the Republican and Democrat party’s.

Under Clinton the Democratic Party embraced neo-liberal ideas since that was what many Americans seemed to be saying and voting for (it also appealed to big business which they increasingly turned to after the decline in unions). I was a move to the right that alienated the left of the party and strengthen the power of the right. To me Hillary was the last hurrah of that faction and just as the fall of the neo-con faction in the Republican Party saw the rise of the Tea Party will the fall of Hillary bring about something similar with the Democratic party?

 

Your confidence in me is only matched by your generosity and compassion.

 

No, that sounds more in line with old school Republicans and Libertarians.

As I understand it, the Democrats support more government control, not less.

 

Democrats aren't bad people, they're just really, really bad at politics.
