So-called "conservatives" in this country support a toxic form of individualism that rejects "collectivism" in any form. They reject the concept of a "society" to which they owe any responsibility. Which just goes to show, too much of even a good thing can be bad for you.

We can't let them die.

Yeah, we can.

We shouldn't, but we probably will.

I fear that will mostly be put off until we have a competent Progressive President.

FTFY

Nixon would be too liberal for them today. Reagan, too.

Drumpf was his family name until his grandfather changed it.

Tax cut!

When are you righties going to figure this out?

Never.

Privatized medicine is the problem here, not the solution. Our health infrastructure is engineered for maximum profit, not maximum healthcare.

The CDC failed us. Time to privatize them.

Ironic, on a cosmic scale!

It's not just the ones on the DR.

The law only matters when they agree with it.

Civil War that was fought in mainly by white people against other white people.

...Followed by 100 years of legal racial discrimination for the next 100 years. It was a war about whether white people had the right to own black people. So blacks should be, I dunno, grateful to white people? In the meantime, blacks were prevented by government policy from accumulating wealth over that 100 years while white people accumulated all they could, leaving blacks in this country 100 years behind whites in the accumulation of wealth, which is the root of the discrepancy we see today. The US Government owes black people for 100 years of government enforced discrimination (not to mention the 300 years before that).

Well, you know what they say about opinions.

Besides, I don't see any reason black people should care what opinions white people have about the political preferences of black people. Individual white people aside, America has never given a crap about what black people in this country want (see: slavery, black codes, Jim Crow, lynching, poll taxes, "literacy tests", public school segregation, FHA discrimination, GI Bill discrimination, redlining, restrictive covenants, etc.).

I think it's great that all black activists are subject to the approval of white America, don't you? Now, let's let black people decide who should represent white people.

Jesse Jackson might be the kiss of death. No one is listening to his crooked and corrupt ass anymore. And to think this idiot once ran for President.

You're right. We should only listen to crooked and corrupt white people, like everyone associated with Trump. I bet he would have actually been a better president than Trump. But then, who wouldn't be better than Trump (maybe Caribou Barbie)?

Ok, so they're not communists even though they say they are. Like we aren't a democracy although we go all around the world claiming we are.

What about China ever made you believe it was communist?
Do you know what communism actually is?

Judge Walton was originally appointed to the DC Superior Court by Ronald Reagan and re-appointed by HW Bush. Then he was appointed to DC District court by GW Bush and appointed to the FISA court by Justice Roberts. When did he become a "Clinton man"?

They're betting Soviet Sanders won't win.

I guess "all men are created equal" is a "Soviet" concept, then. You are aware that there are no Soviets any more, right? We don't have a problem with Communists (China, Vietnam) unless they're Cuban for some reason. Cuba has to starve to death because they're "communists", but we can make tennis shoes in Vietnam and import shrimp from them. You guys don't really care about communism.

We have different opinions on what constitutes "fair share".

Yes, we do. That's why we have elections. To settle that question.

Black men can make it if they look for opportunity. My son made it with a HS diploma, a GI loan and a set of balls.

You seem to be implying that the only reason black men can't make it is that they aren't looking for opportunity. If one person can do something, then everybody can do it? Black people in this country have to overcome obstacles that white people don't. It's that simple. It's been that way since 1619 and even though it's better today, it's still true. And many of those obstacles are a result of Government Policy. That needs to be remediated.

Also, by 1956, New Deal policies were even incorporated in the Republican Party Platform that Eisenhower (the last decent Republican POTUS) ran and won on.
