We had professed "conservatives" defending a retarded Leftist diesel export ban yesterday

Now that same group, once the admin came back to sanity, is defending floating the retarded idea by using populism ("they were testing the waters to test ideas with the public")

No matter how hard anyone might try to pretend it away, general elections for Senators and House Members are basically always a binary choice.


What if someone not currently in the world of politics recognized an untapped wealth of people who disagree with binary, and therefore don’t vote? What if they get into politics and blow up the binary?

You know, like Trump did in 2016. Unfortunately for all of those who came off the sidelines in 2016 and voted because there was, finally, someone like that, the someone didn’t follow through.

The greater the proportion sitting it out, the more enticing for someone to break the binary, and follow through.

You are the biggest fool on the board. Trump is a byproduct of the Republican Party’s inability to accomplish anything meaningful and the Democrat Party has been trending to the Left for the last couple decades.

I'm not even going to call them stupid -- Trump did a great job capturing the poor and blue collar vote as well as downtrodden young men who thought he could return us to the 1950s. It was inevitable when that didn't happen that these people would go somewhere else politically or just stay home on election night.

Promoting DEM/Leftist policies just to get something done isn't a good thing

Voting Democrats that will spend the next 2 years still trying to stop Trump doing anything you want him to do would be retarded.


As opposed to a Republican majority who helped him pass what exactly during the past 2 yrs?

A temporary diesel ban until the war is resolved isn’t a leftist policy. It’s what Trump should have done in the very beginning to give the US more leverage in negotiations. We have no leverage now because fuel prices are becoming unbearable. The War in Iran would be a non issue if gas prices were 2,75$ a gallon. Enforcing a permanent fuel export ban would be a Leftist policy. Unless we are still pretending the rest of the World operates on “free market” principles?

You're exactly right and now they feel the timing is right. The home team knows the socialist experiment has been expanding and maybe the home team is giving it an opportunity to show itself in order to crush it.

Nope, not inevitable. He chose his donors over his voters. He was not forced, he chose the coming asskicking

Yes it is.

Over-regulation, especially using government to fix the problems created by government, pure leftism.

Doing so with a policy that interferes with the market and will fail, also Leftism.

With whom, exactly?

See: problems created by government above

Impact on the petro market has always been a reason why no admin has done this. This wasn't a secret potential scenario. This was always the #1 neon-lights issue.

Now you're doing a literal Leftist meme

Before Trump, only socialists and communists argued that more regulation wasn't bad because we already had regulations and therefore "no free market"

Do you realize how utterly stupid you sound when you justify voting for the Left because Republican leadership is inept? It’s an excuse for your idiocy. Republicans are useless but Democrats are dangerous. There is a difference between doing nothing and making everything exponentially worse. If the Left is given power, it will end what is left of the nation regardless of your feelings. It’s amazing how stupid the average voter is. “Trump is terrible so let’s double down on a party that will implement policies that make everything exponentially worse!”

The Senate race shitshow in Texas is a great example of this. There was a better option than Paxton in that second, binary scenario. Now it's terrible Paxton v. terrible Talafreako, and the DEM has a good chance to win


This is a sign of moron "conservatives" who would rather sit home and lose than vote for a candidate who will be amazing but they believe isn't perfect.

You tell us, what was the better alternative? Who should we have elected so that "right populism" didn't "flip left"?

The country has flipped in every open (no incumbent) presidential election since 1988. What makes this special? What are the democrats going to do in terms of policy to prevent the electorate from flipping back? How will they pay for "Bernie's policies"?

We are already overly regulated and you are employed in a profession that has been the leading contributor to the vast majority of those regulations and bureaucracy so spare me your “free market principles”. We haven’t operated a free market system in decades

Correct, good luck Texas with your fake preacher! Georgia elected one too and he is a real genius and a “moderate”.
