-It's too expensive to have kids.

It's expensive, for sure. So it's either worth it to you or it's not.

and involves making sacrifices. You can either make them or you can't.

-Extremely conservative men 35-45 now have almost 4x as many children as extremely liberal men.

Well, for crying out loud look at the extremely liberal men on this site. Half of them are gay and the other half can't get a date.

-In 2034 everyone is getting a 1/3rd cut in benefits to take a benefit that is already poverty level and make it much worse.

I don't think so.

-Billionaires deserve our social security taxes.

Anybody who paid into social security is entitled to their benefits.

That includes you, Nixon. Nobody is going to tax you on your earned income your entire working life only and then dictate to you what you "deserve".

You're welcome.

-Good thing that most of the billions of Chinese aren't this dumb.

Bad thing that most Floridians are this dumb

The self-loathing failures on this place stink to high heaven.

-I attended church on Easter.

A C&E Christian?

-I'm not at all sure that my part of Texas is MAGA anymore.

But they're still very dangerous and want to kill you, right?

Call them something else but you're still in grave danger like always, right?

-Who TF would want bring kids into the world the way it is now?

Yeah. What a terrible time we're living in right now. Way worse than ... ... .

Civil war
Great Depression
World wars
Pre Civil rights (imagine how awesome minorities had it in the past)
Pre suffrage

Lemme guess ... ... not a parent, right?

You're partially right. YOU shouldn't be bringing kids into this world.

Leave that to competent and capable people.

-It isn't an accusation if it's an accurate observation.

LOL

Way to make my point for me.

I know....it's fun to hurl pejoratives like that on a blog. But look at who I'm talking to.....you know all about that.

Clown wants to take it further......all the way up my colon.

I have a great ass. he must know that somehow.

Anyway, he can joke about taking it up the ass while he shouts "Nazi" when he gets off.

his party....his rules.

Bell, you are one powerful ------------. Look at the power that's been assigned to you by your victims.

All you have to do is be accused of "condoning behavior" on the internet and that makes you a Nazi.

I love it when people act like they oppose hatred and intolerance, but then express hatred and intolerance for people on their own side of the fence

Earlier you asked me what is an extreme leftist.

Look in the mirror

-Who gives a shht about the middle.

The Democratic Party

-It's a shame you haven't died for your country.

You act like madbomber ------ your boyfriend.

Why?

"You've never been part of the working class. You've always been part of our socialist military."

I guess I've never thought of it that way. I view an infantryman as someone in very much a blue-collar job.

Or a mechanic, a sniper, or those guys standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier

I don't know how we got onto Eisenhower Republicans and I don't care, but there's no relationship to that what we're talking about now. There is a 0% chance that Eisenhower Republicans would've imagined we would be discussing what's a boy versus what's a girl.

Deflecting to Eisenhower Republicans is just another way of conceding the point entirely to me

I love articles like this. Truly enlightened and intelligent people are harder to manipulate with propaganda. Learning how to read and understand articles like this and being comfortable studying the issue and learning about it, surrounded by the biased propaganda, it's part of being an intelligent and wise person.

You can't do it in a vacuum.

In other words, if you can't stand an article like this, it probably just means you're a dumb ass

-The oppo would've slaughtered him (wrongly) as a Communist, and (rightly) as someone who wanted to raise your taxes A LOT.

Finish that thought.......and that oppo would have scared the ---- out of democrats

and why would it have scared democrats? Because not all democrats want what Bernie is selling.......

-What is your definition of "extreme leftist"?

That's a fair question...at the moment, it's someone who is outwardly expressing frustration that the entire democratic party doesn't lean as far to the left as they are.

So they are throwing out terms like "weak" and say things like "democrats deserve to lose"....but can't muster the courage to just admit that some democrats simply don't lean that far left.

Extreme leftists are all in total denial of their status as an extreme dem.

Proof? Believing Bernie Sanders was really going to get all the democratic party votes because they themselves are such big Bernie fans.

They assign their level of leftism to all lefties when in fact, that's nowhere true.

Many on the left are moderate and were not comfortable with Bernie....period. And that's fine....stop crying about how most democrats are NOT your friend.

"Weakness can be improved"

You're weak. You haven't improved on that.

Point to a successful person who was weak.....but they "improved"?

Keep in mind.....none of this is a defense for anybody's bad behavior....I'll keep voting for democrats because often it's the lesser of 2 evils.

Oh...can I say that since you've declared no democrats are evil.....just weak?

-Weakness can be improved.

How? I agree about evil....won't waste my time trying to convert folks from that.

but how do you fix weak?

I hire salespeople. I find bad people (we'll call them evil)....can't fix that and I'll pass on them.

But I also find weak people. Timid, lacking impact, etc....can't fix that either really...or I stopped trying a long time ago.

You're really gonna keep telling yourselves its weakness that democrats take money from billionaires, cave to special interests, etc? The GOP can say no but they do it anyway because they're evil. Democrats simply can't say no because they're weak?

LOL...I love seeing the world through your eyes.....it's ------- hilarious.

you wonder why I think you're all a joke

-They are who voters are GIVEN to support by the corporate/israeli owned DNC.

Yeah, both parties have that issue. I know you don't understand that.

You realize you're arguing there aren't any meaningful differences between the parties.

You don't believe that but you're arguing it regardless.

LOL

-You need a contributor who's gonna post something inflammatory or stupid to get others to respond.

well, that's Bill. You're right about that. He generates the responses

Bellringer can generate a ---- ton of responses as well.
