Just adding to the situation we all find ourselves in politically
"We all"?? Include me out. People who don't live in cities have always exaggerated their dangers. In reality, our major cities are safer now than they were a few years ago.
Americans are hopelessly confused about big-city crime. Partisanship is partly to blame
Americans think New York is more dangerous than New Orleans, even though the Crescent City’s homicide rate is 12 times higher this year. Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents rank Washington, D.C., as one of the country’s safer big cities, above cities like Miami, where the homicide rate is much lower. Republicans and Republican-leaning independents see Seattle as ominously dangerous, even though Houston has twice the homicide rate so far this year...
And there're more people in prison here than in anywhere else in the civilized world. Sure, there're some Dem initiatives I'm not enthusiastic about. But there are NO Republican initiatives I am enthusiastic about.
B402, You are more moonshine, unrealistic, utopia-minded than pragmatic observer. You sure as hell aren't in the real sense independent. Clinton had to compete for the big money. You got a lot wrong on NAFTA for example and in your mind it's always the Democrat's fault ..
"Britain’s joining CPTPP. So what the hell is it?" "No, not "Exactly" at all. You are still wrong in saying Clinton started it. And you are wrong, and have become as boring as listening to Gaetz, in your incessant knocking dems for a mindset the whole developed world was into. One that Reagan and Thatcher pushed and one that yeah, a pragmatic Clinton carried on because he felt it was good for the USA and because it was the only way he had a hope in hell of being elected. That's the reality you appear to ignore. And obviouslt Delong's points didn't make a dent into your position either. Probably because you've been repeating it ad nauseam for how many years. Even though your goddamn premise is not as solid as you feel it is. Your seemingly naive purity is what it is. You could never win an election with your positions. Life is about fucking compromise. You black-and-whiteers lend nothing to debate.
