I like that American left are miserable

From Norway btw.

But lets see. Over the years the right wingers are called what. "inbreed F word" or something. I would prefer if they just got more attention by saying back "Aids infectors" or something.

So yeah. One thing is to care for social issues. And one thing is to act like a douche demanding respect. I dont care one bit, everytime they cry they have begged for this to begin with. The narcissism of the elites. This is what happens when you dont cooperate or try to bring people together. But hey, have fun with the "orange man bad" lol
I'd love to see how much social issue problems this is gonna work with "or if this is some political cult worship system by democrats or republicans" replace worship of God with the Governmental political system.

Let me know your views

You're a shitstain on the underpants of humanity, you have no redeeming features. Your only purpuse is to do down your fellow human beings because you cannot stand anybody else having the same opportunities as you. You're the kind of person giving out about others getting a few months dole while you spend the whole of your life sucking off the teats of the state with no intention of ever getting a job or otherwise bettering yourself.

All this I learned with one post. And, no it is not what I think, it is what is.

I didn't presume anything, idiot. There was absolutely nothing in the OP that could reasonably lead one to believe that the poster found Anders Breivik to be inspirational. So the presumption and posturing were yours.

You presumed another was not being light hearted, was not being sacrastic,  and was not putting you, yonadav, on because a better person than you have deemed you to deserve it,  you spectacularly self-unaware and annoyingly self-important buffoon.

Project much?

Not as much as the dull, narrow, self-righteous, unimaginative, combative, presumption, thin-skinned busybody, yonadatard.

[bennyboy]

Wow. This thread is a pretty great payoff for some dude with exactly one thread and one post.

And you're still projecting. You are literally exhibiting all of the characteristics that you are ascribing to me. It's pretty funny.

You should feel right at home with what you imagine me to be then, yanadatard.

The most annoying thing about the left is how divided we are. If you're left of center you're seen basically as a conservative, which is a problem. There's a small, but loud, subset on the left who thinks that the rest of us "aren't far left enough." The issue with these people is they have no interest in cooperating with the rest of us more moderate liberals and certainly have no interest in cooperating with anyone on the right. They don't want to cooperate with anyone. The only interest they have is in convincing people that they're correct and "converting" people.

One thing is for certain, we all need to start working together. Say what you will, America is probably as good as it's ever been; this is part of the reason I think the MAGA thing is nonsense, but we still have a long way to go.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what point the OP has. You seem to be sort of "poking fun" here and I don't really get the point of it, other than for your own personal satisfaction.

The problem isn't our system, the problem is abuse of wealth over our system. There is only one party to blame here and that is the GOP.

the problem IS your system, the issues are inherently systemic.

 Speaking as an outsider ,but with ideas I found supported by Gore Vidal: 

My observation, over the last 30 years or so, is that the US seems to have the most corrupt political system in the developed world.

Why on earth do I think such a thing?

At the very top is the Military Industrial complex, about which Dwight Eisenhower warned the nation as he left office.

The Us spends more in $ terms on its military ,than any other country. It continues to use the same gun boat diplomacy which has kept it involved in conflicts almost continuously since 1950.  

Imagine the difference if even a fraction  of the money spend on war was spent on Social Justice .IE Health; Education and Welfare

 Next perhaps the billion dollar presidential  election campaign. Surely an obscenity?

The mind boggling lobbying system:  Major contributors get to set policy;EG the Health Insurance Industry sets the rules about health insurance, when that is the role and obligation of government..

The appalling National Rifle Rifle Association, with what, 3 million members? This organisation prevents any serious gun control legislation  in the US, even though around 70% of Americans want such laws.

The Pharmaceutical industry.

The banking industry; the sub prime disaster could simply not have happened with a regulated banking industry, as in  most developed countries.

The car and oil industries.

It is said that a way to judge a country is to look that way it treats its young poor,,old, sick and marginalised.

I am enjoying a comfortable retirement. if I lived in the US. I would dare not become seriously ill, as my  expensive health insurance would actually run out. (not allowed in my country) with the medication  I take, the time would come when I had to choose between medication and food.

The US is the richest country in the world. Does it not strike you as odd that there are MILLIONS of homeless including tens of thousands of homeless children?

Does it not seem odd  that the US has a minimum wage which isn't enough for a person to live, on its own?
 
Does it not seem odd that there are MILLIONS of illegal immigrants ,who are tolerated and unconscionably exploited by being paid less than the minimum wage--as they do jobs so menial that few Americans will do them?

Does it not seem odd that the gulf between 'the haves and the haves nots' can be  be one of life and death?

But hey, I'm only only an ignorant foreigner , what do I know?

You know what pisses me off about the American left?  This is something I've noticed over the past few years of being involved with some very VERY left wing communities:  the left adamantly refuses to compromise their message, even the slightest, even if it helps them better communicate good ideas.  There's a kind of frustrating intellectual elitism going on with it.  

Meanwhile, I watched a documentary about far right groups, especially white nationalist groups and, you know what?  They took the exact opposite route: they're hiring PR people and gladly changing their messages in order to take terrible, hateful ideas and make them more likable, more popular, to the public.  

The far right seems to care about PR and public opinion far more than the far left.  And, by the way, that plays a role in the country gradually moving to the right and with republicans winning so many elections with candidates that would make Forrest Gump look like a genius.  

I wish the left would actually acknowledge that to promote their ideas, their ideology, they're going to have to work with the public instead of just trying to piss off as many people as possible.
