To 2021 and Beyond .... current politics

[sdskinsfan2001]

Between today and Wednesday, seems like the best time to sneak in a political comment without being caught.

Not going to though.

I don't like AOC, but this one was pretty good:

"This week in Congress: Dems: Passed $1.9T COVID package to deliver stimulus checks (w/ dependents!), cut child poverty in half, extend $300 UI, prevent cuts in state + local services, largest-ever investment in Native communities, etc," Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., tweeted on Thursday. "GOP: Took a week to read The Cat in the Hat."

Pretty damn good AOC, pretty damn good.

The President of El Salvador made some great points. He was interviewed by Tucker, so I'll assume a lot of the major political posters here will disregard it.

But a major point he made, which I don't think about enough personally, is the negative impact on the country the people are leaving from. The overall people leaving are younger than the average population, and the younger the people leaving the more the workforce is losing ideal candidates. So we're not only promoting illegal immigration, we're hurting the countries the people are coming from, which then promotes more illegal immigration. Rinse, wash, repeat. So the next waive of young people will leave for the same reasons that we helped preputuate.

But they'll always vote majority democrat, so there are no issues with it. My last sentence is not directed towards individual democrat voters, but it's definitely part of the democratic party platform. The party doesn't give a shit about you or this country. Power is all that matters.

And yes the republican party doesn't give a shit about us overall either. The mainstream republican party also promotes illegal immigration. Fuck us and fuck El Salvador, etc.

The goal is to eventually have them become U.S. citizens and/or "meet" whatever minimum requirement needed to let them vote.

If you don't agree, that's fine by me.

Accept this as my resignation letter from the political threads.

If I post something political, you can rightfully assume I'm drunk.

I've loved this site since the day I joined, and have only talked about politics the last few years. Going back to my roots here.

I like talking politics sometimes, but I don't agree with a lot of people here, and the gap isn't going to close. Also, I feel like I semi know a lot of people here, but it's just not the same as talking about politics in person.

I've lived in CA my whole life, obviously way more liberal than conservative. But I've rarely ever in my life had more, for lack of a better term, rude discussions about politics than I've had here (outside of my actual friends). And I'm the asshole at least half the time here. It's just harder to have a real conversation about politics if it's not very personal. Not impossible, but definitely way harder.

And I like talking to all of you way more about our team than politics. You can find a political argument anywhere you want one. Can't find a great group of Washington Football Team fans like we have here.

G1, you're not a WFT fan, but you are a solid contributor to this site. So a shout-out to you too. We disagree on 99.99% of everything, but we're flat tax bro's lol.

Can't wait for the draft.

Doesn't matter who is right or wrong, I just don't want to argue anymore (here).

There's literally no point in talking to you. What does it solve? 10+ years here, has either of us made the other see things from a new perspective or added nuance to a rush-to-judgement opinion? No. My time is valuable.

Go hit a j and relax Chico, you need it to balance out the Fox News.

BTW I don't like either of those decisions, but me complaining on a football forum about POTUS decisions does exactly fuck-all to stop it. He's following Trump's lead, we can inform all we want but in the end he's going to make the decisions. I still trust him to not fuck up more than Trump though, the bar was set low on that one. Trump takes pride in being the heel.

I get that feeling of not wanting to talk when the same policies which caused faux outrage weren’t really bad at all now. Largely pushed by a dishonest media and social media presence...as we are seeing with the voting laws passed in Georgia.

This is pretty much true across the board. Like you said it has probably been ten years worth of discussion and we all still hold basically the same views. Some posters are more civil and coherent, others less so, but in the end I can not think of an instance where someone on here suddenly or gradually adopted the other point of view. At best maybe luke warm acknowledgement of the most superficial parts (usually followed by a defense of how its still better than the alternative)

I still believe if this was any 5 of us having drinks and watching the Skins whoop dallas we would not give two shits about the political crap and would be hi fiving and enjoying the hell out of the camaraderie.

Eff politics.

We have always had a policy of white foot/black foot er I mean wet foot/dry foot when it has come to the difference between the treatment of Cubans and Haitians. Cubans welcomed with open arms. Haitians? see you later. Yet both are escaping similar political oppression and searching for freedom. I guess the moral of the story is don't try to seek refuge in the strongest political state in the Western Hemisphere if you come from the poorest.

Suppressing the vote has always been a trademark Republican move. No big surprise there.
