    You can answer the questions if you want. You are correct it is a discussion site. My bad.

    They are open to anyone to answer

    Do you care about the low paid workers of America?

    I would like to see them get the help they rightfully deserve, especially after being shafted for the last 12 months

    Do you think that Aoc and other far leftist voices will cause in fighting in the party?

    infighting? No, but its good that they will be dissenting voices if the Dems are not up to scratch

    Will it be a constant thorn in Joe Biden's side?

    ◇b]Probably not but that will have to be seen.[/b]

    Care to answer questions yourself now?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,748 ✭✭✭ExMachina1000


    As I said I agree with Sanders, I have already answered this question.



    I also answered this question.



    I did not answer this question because it is in one of the dumbest I have ever been asked in this thread.

    No, disagreements within a party is healthy. Everyone grovelling at the knees and agreeing with their dear president and not voicing their own opinions is not healthy.

    Your turn to answer my questions.

    Okay. I suppose you answered 2/4 , dismissed one and got a bit of a dig in on the last. Better than nothing I suppose.

    Yeah go ahead

    But do you not care about the low income earners in America?

    Do you agree with Sanders?

    So you think that Aoc and other far leftist voices will cause in fighting in the party?
    Will it be a constant thorn in Joe Biden's side?
    I agree with Sanders and AOC on not lowering for those levels. They're also not far left. In relation to thresholds, families earning 300,000 can potentially receive the cheque so I'd totally favour that being looked at, that also looks likely to be what Biden targets. You seem to be annoyed at healthy political discussion in a party...

    Those seem honest enough answers. A bit of a dig thrown in too but solid enough.

    Yeah go for it.

    I already asked you several question, but I will repeat them for you if you wish?

    1) Do you agree with Sanders, i.e. do you disagree with those large number of Republicans?

    2) Do you believe that the GOP were wrong to block the increase in the cheques?

    3) Based on my information in this post, does the GOP or Biden care more about low income earners?

    Not a dig, a fact....you do remember the last lads right? Fought over every penny given to the low paid while giving massive tax breaks to billionaires and billions of dollars to the military.

    1) Yes I agree with Sanders. I don't know how people who haven't been working are able to survive through no fault of their own. America is the richest country in the world so in reality throwing out supports should be a no brainer. And the supports should be meaningful to actually help people

    2) Definitely. Again money is no issue and the cheques go to everyone. It's not like only Democrat voters would receive money while everyone else misses out. Everyone gets something.

    3) I dont even have to look at the link to answer that one. Biden cares more about low earners.

    The problem is politics. Everything is politicised whether it be mask wearing, support cheques, race relations, police, military funding etc etc etc
    And both sides are guilty when it suits them for things to go a certain way. A country divided in two

    So what people are you referencing in this post?

    And when did the Democracts politicise mask wearing?

    Except it's a minority of the party that want to lower access for the cheques. Mask wearing was politicised by the previous president. In terms of the other issues you've listed, they would be political issues under any administration. Assignment of the budget is political, race relations is a political issue in addition to being societal.

    Also stimulus cheques aren't uniquely political to the US. PUP payments are a constant discussion here. Do you think economic measures such as the New Deal wasn't a political issue in the thirties?

    Unemployed from the pandemic people.

    The Democrats didn't but it's an example of something that has because politicised in America. Trump taking his mask off on the balcony after coming out of hospital stands out. But it's one example of many. Throw in healthcare, gun rights or control etc. So many topics that either side wont budge on and have become so engrained

    Eh, you're pretty much misrepresenting the politicisation of masks. He famously demanded for a journalist to remove his mask and accused him of being PC. That was when mask wearing became politicised. Not by the Dems.

    Yes Trump did. I can remember his rallys and the debate on here wasn't on the content of his speech but on how many people in the crowd were wearing masks

    Why would that be a hard pill to swallow? Are you saying that's the case because those who follow Sanders on Twitter, who is someone who disagrees with Biden on many issues, would be surprised to hear that there are a small number of democrats who disagree with Biden on an issue?

    What exactly is the political scandal you think you've exposed with the Bernie tweet? You treated it as some sort of a smoking gun..

    You still appear to think it's some big issue for the Dems and Biden that politicians have expressed opinions. It pretty clearly isn't.

    Yes but you said that it would be a hard pill to swallow for such people. Surely people who follow Sanders on Twitter, a man who does not simply agree with everything that the Democratic party says or does, would not find it odd for a small minority of Democrats to disagree with a current policy in place? That they'd be fully aware that, besides the last four years, the existence of a small number of people within a party disagreeing on a policy of their party would be the norm?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,665 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy

    That's because his speeches were repetitive, nonsensical crap while a large crowd being completely irresponsible during a pandemic was always going to attract more attention.

    B: We couldn't believe how stupid the people at the rallies were to not wear masks during a pandemic.

    Really? You defended Trump for nearly a year, no matter what he did or how badly he did it you were in here defending him. Didn't you (allegedly) have quite a large sum of money riding on a Trump victory in the election?

    No that wasn't me. I remember the poster though. I told him to cash out or hedge the bet And as the tide started to turn he regretted it.

    So you are incorrect.

    Vaccinations are at 1.3m/day and going up. The two new Senators in Georgia are the two that will get the major Covid Relief Bill passed. Might be a little less than the $1.9 Tr but better than GOP just saying no, maybe $600m.

    God himself wouldn't be able to change the trajectory of the way the US has handled the virus. At least Biden is attempting to address it. Trump was bored of it by April last year because it was stealing his media spotlight. His super-spreader rallies before the election were an absolute disgrace.

    And again, incorrectly quoting Biden as usual. He did not say "we can't change the trajectory of this thing", he said "there’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months." The reason being? Trump ****ed things up that badly.

    And I see 12gauge dave is still spam thanking any posts that attack Biden just for the sake of it.
