Ah see here’s where we agree and I can see the moderate moniker. I agree with you. I am in favor of helping those who cannot help themselves. Not laziness. However, the GOP has become so entangled with guns and God that it’s almost as bad as the Dems and the BLM movement.
Again, I only want what’s best for humanity. And the greed of the the republican ideology is not what’s best for humanity.
I’m a west wing, Jed Bartlett democrat. But you’ll not find those anymore in the party. The ideal remains hiwever.

I just can't consider the "greediness" of the GOPe as a bigger problem than the Dems, essentially, trying to roll back desegregation. It will sink them as a party if they keep promoting it.
I agree they all suck, but the identity politics movement is the most disturbing and backwards trend I've seen from either party in years.

What do God and guns have to do with the point you made?
You said the Republicans are selfish and the Democrats want to help others.
There are other issues where they disagree, obviously, but you specifically mentioned that crossroad.
I think its the opposite actually. If Democrats were actually interested in helping people you'd think they'd change their policies after 40+ years of failed results.

Perhaps. I used to be a rep. Then I was a dem. Then lib. Now no party.
I’d actually prefer a plague and anarchy and the old west

That's a libertarian. Which is about as far away from modern progressivism as you can get

On the other hand, I would bet you're not as liberal as you think you are when push comes to shove. You're probably more of a moderate

Not really. People do that because of tribal tendencies. It's usually based on hatred of one side more than the redeeming qualities of the other.

quote:The easiest way to get the ever growing middle class vote is to change the message. Blacks have a distrust for Republican politicians mainly due to the hate mongering they spew. If the message was change to "we just want you and every American to be self sufficient and we want to help you become so. Gone are the days of giving you fish, we have to start back teaching people to fish and the next generation to fish. There is nothing stronger than independence. That is the bedrock and foundation of America." Even if it is that today, you have to get better representatives to deliver it that way instead of identity politics because that is all we have today, identity politics.
I agree. I think conservatives and Republicans really missed the boat with the black voting Bloc. Black people are a lot more similar to conservatives than either they or conservatives realize. Both groups allowed liberals and Democrats to hijack the narrative of Black Culture.
All of this also applies to Hispanics for the most part.

quote:Blame that on the southern strategy. White conservatives politicians didn't want the black vote after the civil rights movement. They focused on identity politics to ingrain themselves in. Even when they switch parties, like Roy Moore, they still will keep their following due to the social policies they enacted years ago
Spot on.
I listen to a lot of rap/hip-hop and constantly think how similar much of the black community is to conservatives. A lot of songs are about less government involvement in their life, achieving personal wealth, tradition, self reliance, praying to God, etc.
It's fascinating that Democrats have able to continue to receive their votes.

Which ones? I mean, the right has been fighting for school choice for decades and the left hates it. It would be a huge difference for many poor kids

quote:Any policy, such as school choice, can be exploited for whatever intents and purposes the exploiter is seeking. The policies I am referring to is the policies of "god." Abortions, pray in schools, blah, blah, blah. There are more, but I don't want to get into those. Let's get back to the ways school choice will be exploited. It will basically be re-segregation, which I'm fine with because we can't force people to do things they don't want. What you will have is a shift into "charter schools" where hard caps will be put in place on numbers. Being that they can select who they want to get in, they can control the population. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. The fear is that they will just leave all the poor blacks behind. I think this will be a great opportunity though to start charter trade schools in high schools that focus mainly on getting kids an adequate start on getting a needed skill. If done properly we could see a change that will help all communities flourish in years to come.

An excellent idea, IMO.

That's the most ridiculous assertion I've heard yet.
Choice means you can attend the school you choose. It will cause more desegregation than ever before. A poor kid from a failing school can opt for a private school or other public school with better students and more resources.
That's the problem picking a side as you have, you have to buy their propaganda.
