Mark Blyth, the economist who's making sense

[undercovergrow]

what history are we talking about here? the part where they always reduce or eliminate the deficit? the fact that the economy always does well with a democrat at the helm? the fact that tens of millions get insurance under dems? the expansion of the social safety net under dems?

be specific here, liar.

segregation, defended slavery, fought civil rights... but i suppose you're ok with all that because "they're for the people" now.

 

[ttystikk]

ok, if that's what you think is going on

They've been catching you at it all day long, so yes that's what I think.

 

[undercovergrow]

show us your source proving that over half of what planned parenthood does is abortion.

not that there would even be anything wrong with that. abortion is safe, legal, and rare thanks to planned parenthood.

you lying fucking retard.

oh, so you're ok with the selling of the body parts from the "services" they provide? yeah - you stick with your virtuous world view

back on that band wagon instead of just engaging in a conversation? ok

Start with something that's an actual fact and we can talk.

both parties are equally corrupt and we as a country are not going to get anywhere changing the system continuing to utilize that system

While I'm not willing to concede your point at face value, I'm interested in what you think should be done about it.

LOL, now she's going back in time to look for something factual.

A hundred years ago, Democratic party was a combination of southern racists, unions and progressive norther-easterners. Is what happened a hundred years ago important when today they are defending against the truly corrupt Republican acts in the White House, Republican racist voter suppression, depredations further enrich the wealthy? No wonder right wingers look back -- way back -- in time to find some truly venal actions taken by Democrats because today, their own Republican Congress and prez are completely impossible to defend using a moral argument.

i'm not sure -- the amount of corruption that exists in both parties is so prevalent that it would take a serious overhaul so we would probably have to start small like with term limits, etc. what would you suggest?

 

[undercovergrow]

the fact that the Democratic party has that in its history is evidence that they're not out "for" the black people or anyone else in our society for that matter - history is important or we are doomed to repeat it. they're just after useful idiots to keep voting them back in power for more free stuff.

You can't see the implications of cuts in medicaid. You can't grasp the obvious result? You have the imagination of a termite.

Come to think of it, I now have to find a termite and apologize to it for insulting its imagination.

Just imagine; old, dead people EVERYWHERE. The streets will be littered with them. OH!! The Humanity!!!!!!!!

You have an excellent imagination.

the KKK and american nazi party just endorsed trump.

 

[undercovergrow]

the KKK and american nazi party just endorsed trump.

yes, that's true.

 

[UncleBuck]

yes, that's true.

so why are you babbling about what happened 60+ years ago like it's even relevant to today? it's not. you're stupid.

 

[ttystikk]

Thanks for dealing my thread. This was meant to be a place where I could put stuff I've found online and economics videos. WTF does 'retard retard' have to do with economics? I'm sick of the unrelated subject littering.

God knows there's enough other threads to talk shit in, does it HAVE to be done here too?!

Getting rid of Citizens United!

It seems I'm far from alone in thinking that there's something seriously wrong with the Democratic Party's priorities;
