“They needed to move to the center”

As CID pointed out numerous times, Clinton is neo-con.

She notoriously took money from Wall Street, blew off populism, and lost to a former Democrat. Running as Republican Lite is not a winning strategy.

The Dems primaried several establishment donks and took back the house.

What part of your hack analysis do you think I didn’t understand?

You think opening borders, free healthcare for illegals, SHOWING illegals how to get across the border, running up the Mexican flag at an ICE facility, supporting ANTIFA’s actions, etc., etc., represent the views of the majority of Americans?

They went full retard, bro. Full fucking retard. As CID said, all they had to do was not go batshit crazy. They couldn’t even do that.

Long way to go yet. We still have a 50-50 Nation, and if there’s a black on the Donk ticket, all bets are off.

Yes, 50/50...but the majority of their 50 are located in two states.

Harris tried to savage Biden (and she did draw his numbers down)... but she is no Barack Obama and she has racial baggage of her own - namely, being a prosecutor

I think if Biden can avoid looking like a bumbling old man like he did when she went after him on busing (and then one day later she flip flopped, of course) then he will still be the nominee. And if that happens it will be a repudiation of the SJW left. Then Biden can do what he really wants and run to the center. That will be Biden in a landslide

So I guess me not yet being convinced is because I am not yet convinced the SJWs will take Biden down

No. And I could be wrong, but the border situation might be worse then advertised. I’ll acknowledge that.

More than 100,000 apprehensions in June alone. They are making their way across the border and then turning themselves in with asylum claims. They and the coyotes are gaming the system and the system cannot keep up.

And this is why I wasn’t necessarily opposed to Trumps early immigration ideas and the wall. It’s easy for me up here where I’m less effected to not care but I can see some serious long term concerns.

Work towards an economic union of the Americas and open the border.

We should already have an open border with the Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, and the European Union.

Historically, open borders and free trade between humans improve economies and standards of living. You have a larger worker pool to draw from, increase your tax base, spur the competition of ideas (aka. capitalism), improve on bureaucratic inefficiencies in trading/immigration systems, give people more choices in how to improve their lives (liberty), and strengthen peace between societies.

edit: an open border doesn't mean anyone can just come in; people can still be denied entry. If anything, it more easily tracks people from other nations who enter the United States.

Then don't use the term "open border". The term you are looking for is population growth.

9/11 changed the world. Now we need passports to go to Canada, instead of just reporting at the border. Grew up in a border town. Played little league baseball in a mixed US/Canada league. Canadians would come swimming at our pool, attend church with us, played high school basketball against them. Not much of that exist anymore with the new world order.

We already have open borders with all of those except Mexico

It is called the “visa waiver program”. You should look it up, Treep. Become less ignorant and naive

The other countries meet various criteria to qualify. Mexico, with their corruption, lax enforcement, and drug wars does not. It’s called “stability”, and is is why Mexicans need visas to travel to all those other countries, not just us

Here you go, Treep:

How do you like the idea of a Trump second term, along with a GOP House and Senate again?

A CNN poll posted here earlier has Trump losing to every Dem candidate, but handily beating a generic known socialist Dem candidate

Keep on with those open borders and Bolshevik unicorns and see how it works out, bubba

The Visa waiver program is nothing like what I'm suggesting.

A European Union-style system is closer.

I consider this nation as corrupt if not more so. We're simply more sophisticated and less violent about it.

I also laugh at the idea you consider this nation stable. The social, political, and economic divisions are festering deep and bubbling to the surface. Hopefully it doesn't burst.

:suspicious: :shock:
This goes right up there with your 2018 ‘Time to throw out the Constitution’ and ‘let’s have 10k legislators in Congress’.. :dunce:
Yeah, the US is as least as corrupt as Mexico, and no more stable. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

All ^ of that is pretty true actually...
But nothing is going to "burst" as long as we have the things we have

We live in a nation where our non working poor are over weight (somehow..?)
Fact: US counties with poverty rates higher than 35% have obesity rates 145% greater than average.

We live in a country where everybody has a cell phone
and a TV
and subsidized housing
and free school for the kids

I mostly agree. I think it'll be a gradual change (like most in American politics), but the way the new Republican party systemically undermines democracy and liberty, it can end violently (either way).

All I can guarantee is that history will be unkind to Trump, BDK, etc.
