What's that saying about whatever rule you wanna impose, imagine it being wielded by your worst enemy?

How? If the whole point of American policy is to have limited government from its inception?

Term limits by definition limit power

FDR sure didnt mind expanding the power of government

And if he'd only been in office twice, the damage would have been less

And yeah for someone in the executive office it makes sense to me to have term limits because of someone as bad as FDR, I didn't like FDR.

Picture twelve terms of the Squad

But your Congress is your representatives.

The squad never would have gotten elected if it weren't for the ideology. Pulled. By the propaganda of the DNC and the demographics they pander to

And even then that's what the judiciary is for

I'm from the bluest blue parts of one of the bluest states, so ... don't put too much stock in the people to vote out bad reps.

I've only voted twice in my life. First time was Obama in '08, second time was to protest the reelection of a corrupt pedo. The pedo still won.

Those blue parts are only blue because of a certain portion of the white people within them that actually buy a democratic agenda or fully dont support a Republican agenda and whatever reason the other demographics vote Democrat for.

Which here in northern NJ is most of them

And you know why, because look at what they push in their policies

To my knowledge, apart from Christie, I can't recall if we've ever been red

Even still if you never were it doesn't matter because the demographic arguement still is valid because of the most recent example of Virginia. And the very QUESTION that if texas is going to irreversibly go blue.

@Marushia Dark i spent time going to northern new jersey to buy gas and lock parts because it was cheaper to pay the toll than to buy it in brooklyn

But going back to my point about race, you said it's cuz of the white people voting Dem, but have you considered that if you can permanently flip 5-10% of the brown vote, we'd be conservative for the next 100 years? And blacks and hispanics are primed for conservatism

Yeah, tri-State prices are stupid high. NYC is even worse. Best to work in the city but leave here in the suburbs

We're the only State you have to pay to leave. <:thinking_clown:590855640268668928>

worse was when i lived in staten island...you have to pay to go home

There is no promise blacks and Hispanics will be primed or buy into conservatism to begin with man

Ted Cruz and Brandon Tatum would disagree with you on that

i actually liked ted cruz in 2016...it was shameful what they did to him in the bronx

No those are individuals

sorry if i'm not staying on topic...

I mean they'd disagree with you about the mindset of blacks and hispanics, arguing that both groups - at least when they have fathers - have an ethic of hard work, faith, and family.

prior to the welfare state, blacks were highly conservative

*welfare and war on drugs

Do I gotta find some red elephant video where Vince James just spells out to you the voting trends for these demographics? Why would black people be beholden to the welfare and take the drugs in the first place?

Who forced em to take the drugs?

I'm aware of the demographics, but you're not understanding WHY they vote that way

> Who forced em to take the drugs?

That's a valid criticism and certainly one I've made, that it's the soft bigotry of low expectations to assume that they can't resist drugs cuz they're black when all other poor folks do; but in a more charitable context, if we agree the issue is fatherlessness, then the war on drugs is not helping in this regard. It's only making things worse.

It's all for a whole amalgamation of reasons we could all talk about the nuances forever but the biggest understanding we gotta come to is today. Their families are broken today. They've been voting a certain way for a while. Feeding into a broken promises and a fear Republicans really wont have their backs because of the elitist figure they cast.

They vote that way cuz they've been propagandized to believe a certain mindset by the media-political complex, taking advantage of the void left by other institutions that normally instill values (church, family, etc)

I literally asked my Indian friend Sabastion from Canada why he wouldn't vote for Maxine Bernier and it was for that very reason. The Republican equivalent represents the elites and not people like him which is foolish in my mind after hearing Maxime speak.

But besides that

I agree mass immigration is a problem and that migrants tend to vote left, so I agree we need to build the wall and get rid of DACA and all that; but once we do that, then race no longer matters and it becomes about pure merit and let the demo chips fall where they may

Unlike the alt-right, I don't care if white people become a minority or even if we all become purple. That, to me, has nothing to do with the ideologies of those who remain and again, to think otherwise - to think race DETERMINES ideology - is racist.

Not even then still. It may just be a simple disagreement at that point. But theres perfectly capable white people who go through these college and uni courses that try and get to the same places these Indians and Chinese exchange students come in and literally until the pushback people within the conservative movement were saying to staple the green card to the back of their diplomas
