I like presidential candidates that don’t have 34 felony convictions. I also prefer them to not be convicted rapists. And if they could not sell our nuclear secrets to Russia and China, that’d be swell too.

I mean if you haven’t been paying attention to like… Anything, really, for the last 7 years, I could see how this line of reasoning makes sense in complete isolation.
“Guys just face it, Germany has never had a dictator, and Germany will never have a dictator because the system prevents it” - big brain Germans in 1933, probably.
I think a better analogy would be that someone wrote an article about how cigarettes cause cancer but a random commentator complains that they don’t talk about radon.
Does radon cause lung cancer? Yes. Is that what the article is talking about? No.
Was I being an inflammatory asshole in my first comment? Yeah, sorry. I’m argumentative today. I try to not be but sometimes I can’t help it; I’m working on it though.
This article is specifically talking about how Republicans went from Regan -> Trump and you’re over here going WhAT abOuT tHE dEMoCrAtS?
Besides, the interview specifically talks about how Regan buttfucked the left at the end of the cold war and that they had nothing to offer the public in return, and how they utterly failed to provide a meaningful alternative.
Neolibs are scum, but that’s not the point of this article.
Dems started trying to compromise with Republicans on fiscal policy which drove republicans further right to differentiate.
“Waaaaaaaa the evil democrats forced us to be Nazis with their wicked compromise ideology! Don’t you see this is all their fault!”
Fr this is a great idea (National Service, but not necessarily military service). We could train carpenters and electricians, repair people, maintenance and construction jobs. We could train medical assistants and dental hygienists’, vet techs, and build houses (high density housing located in an area with good public transit, of course), and railways, and so much more with our tax dollars.
And yes, a strong defense is important, so military service would count too. Like it or not lots of people across the world rely on American defense, and its wrong to betray those allies and obligations like Obama did when he let Russia take Crimea.
And the best part is (in my version of events) all those people who performed national service would qualify for TriCare and the GI Bill, so we don’t even need new programs. It won’t be easy, of course, but it gives our youth skills in higher education and trades, helps alleviate the housing crisis, improves American infrastructure, and invests in our future.
I’d also like to see some sort of UBI after the service ends to catch anyone who still struggles after but I expect that’d be relatively rare.
Yes I would like to see your list of presidents and presidential candidates with felony convictions. Thanks!
