President Biden thread

Published

Wow.  No one has started such a thread yet?

After promising that most K-8 students would be in schools in the first 100 days,  apparently Joe is afraid to lead on this and has drastically scaled back that goal.

Instead, we're shooting for about half to go to school at least one day a week,  by the end of April.

Please --name callings gotta stop, counter productive on both sides. 

As REpublicans concerned about education these days, need to bring back/  require Civics/Government classes as part of High School ---  AND encourage signup for elections as part of graduation for those > 18 yo.

I disagree on encouraging registration as part of graduation.

If the right to vote isn't valuable enough for one to make the minimal effort it takes, I don't want them voting.

I came up with 545,000 hits in the 5 seconds it took me to type the letters.

As did I, although didn't take me 5 seconds.

What's your point?

You don't have to be far-right to believe both of those things.  I've certainly heard liberals use those terms, and liberals occasionally.

So, try again if you like.  On what issues do you think I'm "far-right"?

Can’t say I’ve ever heard a liberal use the terms libtard or tds. Ever. So not buying your deflection.

I disagree....U. S. citizens have a RIGHT to vote after age 18.    I see it as increasing the voting pool and  educating graduates on how to choose candidates who's ideals/positions that are good for their area and US country as a whole.   We should be encouraging that right AND responsibility to elect best qualified candidate.

Yes. They have the right to vote.  But, its not up to me or anyone else to force them to.  If they don't care,  I don't want them voting.

Yes, I'm aware many on the left and many within our education system think it's responsibility to educate graduates on how to choose the best candidates.  And, increase the voting pool in the process.

It's not deflection when I directly addressed your comment.

I have heard independents and occasionally liberals use those terms.  Many moderate liberals are also tired of the far-left radicals.  That's my experience.

Speaking of deflection, you still haven't said on what issues woukd put me on the far-right.

 I’m not deflecting. I’m sticking with my initial comments. Not scrolling through your posts. As maybeeeee would say, common knowledge.

Why would you have to scroll through my posts if its common knowledge? 

We'll just have to agree than that you are ill-informed and willfully ignorant of my positions on issues we've discussed here.

Well … you certainly do a great impression of rightwingnuttery: willful ignorance, check. Proud of that ignorance, check. Much of the time substitutes owning the libs for reasoned discussion, check. (“libtard”? Really? What are you, thirteen?)

Don’t look now, but you sit squarely in the tradition of rightwingnut ideology.

Not knowing about the Robert Birch Society is willful ignorance?  I'd bet a paycheck that a vast majority of the population doesn't know any more than I do about that. 

I didn't call anyone here a libtard.  I said that culture wars were a method of libtards.  Unless you engage in culture warfare, you shouldn't be offended.

Doesn’t matter that you didn’t call anybody here a libtard. It’s considered an insult, and the context in which you used it, once again, implies identification with the right wing.

It should be called out as totally unacceptable political discourse to claim that discussing the current front-runner for the Republican Presidential nomination, which of course would include their history as a political figure, is the result of a psychological affliction.  

I’ve come to realize liberals aren’t happy unless their miserable.

But calling people right wing nuts is acceptable?
