RE: The Democrats Seem To Be Operating From A One Issue Plan.
The democrats also had no plan for the actual elections aside from having Hilary ride the "I'm a woman and I could be the first female president of the United States" and people just went with it.
Yep. I think they LIKED Trump at first, because they figured his brash style of speaking would scare some of those sitting on the fence into voting for her.
That blew up in their face didn't it?
EDIT: I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary. I would vote for him now though. When I didn't have a decent 3rd party choice I voted 50/50 Democrat and GOP. If I were to vote now it is doubtful I'd vote for a single Democrat.
I heard that Dr. Jil Stein was a decent candidate, but I am no expert. She couldn't have been as bad as either Trump or Hilary, though. 2018 was the year of third parties, but that vote was lost for america because of a lack of education when it comes to its own election system.
I didn't think Trump was a good candidate then(Though I knew far too much about Hillary. She is the most corrupt person to ever run for office as far as I was concerned. Want a woman in office? Elect a random one off the street and it would likely be better than Hillary). I do now. I considered Jill Stein, though I voted Libertarian. Since then I've seen stuff from Jill Stein that makes her not so good.
The thing about Trump is he had never been a politician. There was nothing to judge him by in that regard. So he was brash (didn't bother me) and it was unknown if he'd do what he says, or do what normally happens say one thing, do another.
Like I said. I'd vote for him now. I haven't agreed with everything he has done (my issues have been primarily with regards to Syria), but I think he has done a lot of good things and he has done this while he has been under nonstop unprecedented attack. That is VERY impressive.
I don't agree with him completely. I don't agree with ANYONE completely.
Yet I do think his actions are showing he cares, and the big issue is those that have been able to act puppet master to the past presidents can't get their strings to attach to his limbs.
I also said that Trump is the lesser evil between Trump and Hilary around the time of the elections and was.....well, "glad" would be a tall word here to describe how I felt when I saw that he won.
Felt like I dodged having my knee being pierced by a serrated arrow only to have it being pierced by a non-serrated one.
Regarding good intentions, I heard that the road to hell is paved with them, so I take everything that implies that anyone or anything has or had the best intentions with a grain of salt.
That being said, Bernie Sanders was Americas guy. Not the steemit sanders, the other one. Heard a lot of good things about him and can't see why they would promote Hilary over hi......oh yeah, that woman thing.
He would have likely won.
Yet it would be a bad thing. He is a moron.
He promises all kinds of FREE THINGS which is why he would win.
The government cannot give you free anything.
Someone pays.
The government does not produce anything but laws, waste, and wars.
So to pay for these "Free" promises they have two mechanisms:
So this "FREE" stuff you end up getting FORCED to pay for via taxes or debt. It is worse though because, when they do it this way you pay for it even if it is not something you needed.
Socialism does not work. Unless your goal is to make life worse in the long run for people and collapse the country. It is really good at that.
EDIT: The top three wealthiest people in the U.S. are Socialists. Combined they are worth close to a quarter of a trillion dollars. They are all known for screwing people over. ;) They are Democrats too. They support forced redistribution of citizens income, and assets because they have positioned themselves to likely be the recipients of that redistribution. Socialism leads to ultimate forms of monopoly. Government forced monopoly.
People thought that being paid for voting on content would never be a thing, yet here we are.
There is a possibility that Bernie really would have ended up being a terrible president. But I think that the odds of him not being as questionable as either Trump or Hilary would have been fairly good.
Regarding money and finances, they are man made concepts, so it can take manmade power to shift the importance of those around in the favor of many.
He wouldn't have been as bad as Hillary. He wouldn't have been as good as Trump.
Trump actually understands economics and reality.
Bernie lives in fantasy land and make believe and fails to actually pay attention to history. His ideas he was pushing have lead to the ruination of every country they have been implemented in. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
Those places all seem GREAT for a short period of time until their stupid policies drain any money they saved.
"Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money"
Many people in Venezuela can tell you how stupid Bernie is.
Well, for today I will just take your word for it because I am not as deep into the topic as I could be.
With that being said, I think we can agree on saying that the focus of this discussion being on how presidents handle the topic of "money" can be taken as a hint that finances are too much of an factor when it comes to politics.
I don't find that healthy.
