Trade War getting worse

ruskie, our system isn't perfect. no one here is claiming it is. if you were actually intellectually honest and therefor open to discussion, we could easily have open dialogue about what's not perfect here and you would have a better understanding of the world around you.

Unfortunately for you, you are intellectually dishonest.

That's why you need to come here and insult the very Americans who you want to buy your ruskie product.

You won't believe it, but most of socialist countries do pretty well. E.g. Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, Finland, Iceland etc. I mean their economical model of course, not climate or migrant-related problems.

same goes for whiny serb.

You made my day, dude

and that's what I meant by your being intellectually dishonest. you're not at all capable of adult dialogue.

The masks the Left have been wearing are coming off. Their intolerance, hate and thirst for violence are going to become worse - just watch.

I see an uneducated little kid posting from your nickname. To be honest, I don't consider you as an adult. Your childish pots are funny and they make me smile. The person who can't see a difference between democracy and republic; and sincerely considers the peasant anti-democratic (aka indirect) voting system perfect, is not an adult person in my opinion. Sorry, but there is nothing I can do about it.

That's not an insult at all, but just a statement of fact.

it's horrible to watch already. I can't believe that even after my posting just a few of dumb nazi thommy violent posts that mark has the audacity to keep coming at me for standing up to that.

Makes me think maybe I should veer way right. but I strongly believe in democratic socialism very much like America is in my view.

Though no one cares, the "left/right" bias is universal, across all nations and cultures. It's been studied to death. It manifests itself in slightly different ways and there are some cultural influences in moral reasoning, but overall, the same exact division exists... regardless of race or class.

It's an evolutionary trait relating to group selection. Great decisions come through fierce argument. Those decisions which can threaten or destroy the group are those where no one raises their hand and voices an objection and where no debate argument ensues.

For that argument to exist and for every big issue to be argued to the end, where the middle is then defined, all arguments for and against have been heard for for the compromise to rise to the surface it is not in anyone's benefit to "see the other side" from an evolutionary standpoint. "Seeing the other side" leads to less debate, less argument and less discussion and as such, leads to more risk to the survival of the group.

It's basic evolutionary biology relating to group selection and the more effective cooperation of groups..

Science bitches!

Personally, i'm just tired of being attacked for almost 10 years now for being less than human, for being racist for having an opinion, for being xenophobic for being concerned about 10s of millions of illegals in the country or for being hateful and greedy for wanting low taxes and a strong economy by smug, self righteous assholes who can act that way, behave in the most vile manner imaginable, consistently attack people in really vicious ways and then at the same time break their own arms patting themselves on the back for being morally superior. And when cornered "I only act that way because...you,..." is the always the response, taking no personal responsibility whatsoever.

There are a number of reasons for the different ways we view issues with respect to how we process moral questions (which is what lie at the heart of left/right), why we are blind to those of the other and I could break it all down in extreme detail but no one would read it and it would change nothing.

exclaims the ruskie who has American customers here and advertises his products to Americans here.

you're not smart. at all.

This is the exact thing that voters voted against.... all the way down to local levels.

8 years of a media, head over heels in love with Obama, telling everyone "if they don't agree with you, then they are just racist, hateful and mean".

8 years of a guy who literally started off looking like he was going to become the single greatest leader of our lives with his ability to speak well and with conviction who in the end, just talked about how everyone is racist, America is wrong, things are bad an not likely to get better etc.

8 years of the most divisive behavior and rhetoric to ever come from the White House with constant "republicans this" and "republicans that" - never remembering once that he was elected President of ALL Americans. This was a new thing by the way - as it used to be "my colleagues across the aisle" etc when referring to the other party and there was some decorum and respect which Obama completely abandoned.... leaving 1/2 the nation itself feeling like he didn't represent them.

8 years of scandal after scandal after scandal from the guy saying "there were no scandals in my administration".

8 years of the worst economic recovery in over a century as more and more regulations were created to stifle business

8 years of being told by our President... "it's all Bushes fault... but anyway, it is never going to get better"

8 years of being told "you're racist if you don't like Obamacare"

8 years of being called "obstructionist" by a party that controlled the White House, House and Senate as if that made any sense

8 years of a media that had next to zero criticism of their own government even in the middle of massive scandals like weaponizing the IRS against opposition speech

8 years of walking away from allies across the globe

8 years of apologizing for America and creating a vacuum of leadership on big issues around the world

8 years of hearing about something like Michael Brown who robbed a store and attempted to kill a police officer and how he was a victim

8 years of Obama getting involved in legitimate police shootings to make a point about race while ignoring many 1000s of little kids being shot in his own home town

8 years of pretending violent black on black crime is not a thing

8 years of arguing about tranny bathrooms and allowing men who identify as little girls to go into the womens showers.

8 years of idiotic things like inventing genders

and the list goes on and on...

Finally society pushed back and these guys are completely lost as to what just happened... because the last thing they remember the media telling them over and over is "we're awesome, they're evil, so all is good... and no, Trump can never be President"

"Popular vote" has nothing to do with 1/2 the nation electing an arrogant dickhead with no filter and "why" he got that much traction, nor does it have anything at all to do with Democrats losing more state seats since the Civil War.

And as complete proof of how out of sync they are with society right now, and whats happening politically they'll just keep saying "racist" etc.

Clearly voters want some house cleaning done.

In fact, no one can even to this day tell us what the Democratic platform is. We just hear crying, whining, complaining and blame. The same blame that we vote against 8 years of.

I don't sell my products to little kids like you, because you simply won't be able to use it. I sell it to adults only. Those who are clever and educated enough. Believe me, they don't consider my posts about the american election system or obamacare as a personal insult. Also they are smart enough to separate their work from entertainment. The same applies to me, a fun at GFY (maybe you know the meaning of this abbreviation) is... just a fun which has no relation to the business.

of course lurkers/potential customers don't care about your anti-American posts.

you keep thinking that ruskie.

No reason to veer right - idiots over there as well.

Veer towards facts and true information - it tends to solve most conundrums. When people stop seeing this as blue versus red, they are more likely to wake up.

IMO, it isn't that democrat socialism is bad per se - it's that there is better available. I very much believe in a social safety net - from unemployment insurance to universal health care - but it's HOW this is done which makes all the difference.

I tend to agree. I'm a big fan of Capitalism and rely on it. These are turbulent political times is all. Not as bad as 1968 but close. But the fact remains that WE are Americans, we'll sort out the current issues. It's not as bad as it seems in my view.
