Race is a tough one, but I am certain the Democrats have their hearts in the right place. They at least listen to and represent minorities. There's a lot to figure out but the messaging isn't divisive at least to me. I don't think Republicans lying about voting to stop black people from voting for the Democrats is really the right message either.
Not even bringing up the abundant evidence that disputes your first sentence…good intentions are vastly overrated. The Dim party should adopt that as their mantra. And in regard to how this applies to minorities…your party undeniably owns what’s happening in inner city America. After 50-60 years and 3 or so generations of one party rule, it’s your responsibility.
The discussion was about the messaging. I don't think the Democrats messaging on race is divisive. I think the message of "diversity" is inclusive. I think it's a little silly that some white people take this as a threat.
Again, they genuinely believe the Democrats caused the division. Gay marriage gets "passed" and suddenly it's a battle between sexual identities.
It's almost like you're wholly unaware of history.
The Democrats founded the KKK... Robert Byrd was a Democrat senator until 2010 and he was openly using the N word in interviews as late as 2001.
Both Hillary and Bill Clinton described him as a mentor. Joe Biden gave the eulogy at his funeral.
The idea that Democrats were always pro-gay marriage is laughable.
Intersectionality is WHOLLY of the left. Only Democrats think people should be reduced to the color of their skin or their sexuality.
What a disingenuous post. I'll sort out the crap.
1) The Democratic Party is NOT the same party it has always been. Party in name only. Looks like YOU are the one who is wholly unaware of history.
2) Robert Byrd was a flawed individual who eventually later apologized for his previous transgressions and said he was wrong. I have long said stupid is as stupid does. He STOPPED being stupid in the latter part of his life. His views were his own and not indicative ever of the Democratic Party.
3) You are actually CORRECT that Democrats (both as a party and as a majority point of view) have not always been pro gay marriage. Congratulations for getting something right for a change! Hillary Clinton was against it earlier in her career. Obama was against it. Times change. People's opinions change. I personally have always been for gay marriage from as early as I can remember (never was against it), but it takes some people longer to become properly enlightened. You present this as if it's a strike against Democrats. It's not. It's just the proper evolution of an advancing society. We are moving AWAY FROM archaic religious nonsense and to where we should be with regard to personal freedom and liberty.
4) Your color of skin and sexuality comment is just flat BS nonsense. Democrats recognize that there is still great bias from you Trumper morons, and these minority groups still need legal protection. When you Trumper morons start to behave yourselves and stop discriminating against minorities and women, then things will change. We aren't there yet.
So, you got 1 out of 4 there completely right. Not bad for a moron, but it's still a failing grade. Time for you to study more.
Our fundamental disagreements have way more to do with money, taxes, government responsibility, etc. than anything else. I would never vote for tax cuts. You would never vote for a tax increase. It just so happens that the years and years of anti-government anti-institution sentiment sowed into our discourse by the corporate conservatives is now backfiring with DJT and I do get some enjoyment out of that.
The fact that the country is $30 TRILLION in debt would suggest you're on the wrong track.
We don't have a taxation problem we have a spending problem. If you give the government money it will spend it and then some. Every time.
Voting for people who don't understand this universal truth baffles me.
America was literally founded on being anti-government. This sentiment didn't come from "corporate conservatives" it came from the founding fathers.
I'm not worried about the deficit. Infinite growth is maybe the only way forward. When you say cutting spending, imagine I'm a republican hearing you say "cutting carbon emissions." Similar mental response. It sounds impossible.
I think the biggest threat right now is income/wealth inequality. I think concentrated wealth at the top does not lead to job creation/wealth creation. I think trickle down is the biggest and most harmful lie we've told to the populace of this country.

Baltimore, Maryland and Jackson, Mississippi immediately spring to mind.
Freddie Gray, a black man, died while in the custody of the Baltimore police. Democrats nationally went nuts declaring it to be yet another example of white racism in America. 3 of the 6 cops were black. The police chief was black. The majority of the city council is black. The mayor is black. They are all Democrats. Yet the media and Democrats blamed white conservatives.
Jackson, Mississippi currently has a water problem. The city is 80% black. The mayor is black. The city council is majority black, 100% of them are democrats. Yet the media and democrats are blaming the problem on "environmental racism" whatever that is. Democrats mismanaged a city they have run exclusively since the 1800s. And they still blame RACISM!

ANY talk about race is divisive. Talk about race drives almost everyone bonkers. Dems don't understand this. Dems don't understand the conflict between 'all men are created equal' and 'we will give anyone who isn't white or Asian a boost.' They don't understand it and it hurts them.
I don't know what the solution is, but Dems drive a lot of the racial divisiveness with their constant talk of race rather than 'all men are created equal.' We want to have American ideals and not bend ourselves into pretzels.
Is that all you have ... name-calling and insults? In general, people insult others because they are insecure and immature. Anger generally intensifies the situation.
Of course it's not all I have. It is the most accurate and to-the-point response though. You Trumpers have left no other possibilities...you are all raging morons. There is no "discussion" to have with you fools. There is only talking at you. As I have said for a few years now, those of you who continue to be Trumpers are either:
1) JUST stupid
2) Racist (racists are inherently stupid, but you can be stupid and not be racist).
There are no other possibilities.
Donald Trump invited and incited an insurrection to try to illegally remain in power.
Donald Trump STOLE, CONCEALED, AND PROBABLY DESTROYED classified and top secret documents from the Federal Government. There is no greater breach of trust than to mess with our national security.
I wasn't even all in on the cult talk until after Jan. 6. I mean, it APPEARED your fools were in a cult, but I became convinced of it then.
You Trump cult members like to say you support Trump because of his policies. Ok...so support any number of other politicians who are for the same policies. DeSantis, Pompeo, Cruz, Graham, hell, even Liz Cheney is all on board with just about ALL of Trump's policy views. Why would you support a guy who is in such legal hot water and who could only be in office LEGALLY for 4 more years if elected? The reason? You're in a cult.
I an not angry at your stupid Trumpers. You disgust me, and I am saddened and still a bit shocked that so many Americans are this stupid, but anger isn't a part of it at all, you raging moron.

You aren't clever enough to have a grown-up discussion... And not remotely honest enough.
1. Democrats started out as pro-slavery. That didn't work out so they moved on to segregation, eugenics, and Jim Crow. That didn't work out so they moved on to destroying the black family. In 1960, less than 25% of black kids were born into broken homes. Today it's over 70%. By design. There's still an abortion clinic in every inner city so you're still working hard on the eugenics. Democrats are still who they've always been. In 1850 you used blacks for power against their own best interest. You're still doing it today against their own best interest.
2. Robert Byrd didn't change anything but how he behaved when the camera was on. Joe Biden is no different. racist to his core when no ones looking. Remember when he said how impressive it was that Barack Obama was "clean" and "articulate"? Remember when he used the N word on the floor of the senate? Or when he called all blacks "predators" in support of the Democrats 1994 crime bill that gutted the black family even further? You guys haven't changed at all.
3. "Archaic religious nonsense" is the glue that holds society together. Nothing is more dangerous than uneducated stupid people who think they are the most important thing in the universe. That magic man in the sky kept morons like yourself in check for centuries. If society has to rely on the parenting skills and decency of people like yourself to prevent crime we are irrevocably screwed.
4. The only "systemically racist" policies in existence in America today are policies created by Democrats. From teacher's unions declaring they will fire all the white people before anyone else gets fired to colleges punishing Asian student in favor or black students. Racism has ALWAYS lived on the left.

Ok, so then don't vote for Republicans.

Reagan is the one who set the precedent for rampant pretty much unchecked spending. The national debt rose $7.8 TRILLION dollars while Trump was in office. I mean, be against Democrats and for Republicans if you want, but at least base that decision on reality.
The fact that the country is $30 TRILLION in debt would suggest you're on the wrong track.

It is impossible. Which is why limited government is the answer.
The richest guys in the world provide benefit to ordinary people.
The government has spent about $90 TRILLION in the last 20 years. And we're no better off than we were 21 years ago.
Government is out of control. Democrats want more government.

could be worse. And improving just in time for midterms.
Conor Sen @conorsen Using the @FiveThirtyEight numbers, Biden approval at this point in his presidency is now above Reagan, Clinton, and Trump, and on par with Carter. Up 3.6% over the past month and flirting with his highest numbers of the year:

Well, I am neither of those things, you nitwit.
Pretty clear Democrats have used minorities for decades. Cities like Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis, and Philadelphia have turned into cesspools of crime and corruption. Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and New York are shadows of their former self in just a few short years. Their cries against Republicans is an attempt to mask (pun intended) their incompetent and frail Administration.

We live in a 2 party system. I'm a libertarian and it would be insane to vote for Democrats. I've got no other option but Republicans. If the dinner options are sh*t and tuna salad. I'm going tuna salad every time. Republicans are tuna salad. I don't prefer it. I'd never order it. But I'll eat it if I don't have a better choice. Democrats are sh*t. And that's being kind.
Reagan's spending collapsed the Soviet Union which brought the capital flooding in which fueled the 90's boom Clinton takes credit for.
Obama added $8.3 trillion despite kicking the cost of Obamacare down the road until he was out of office. If Trump's $7.8 bothered you you must have really hated Obama.
