San Fran getting rid of manholes? The jokes write themselves

Is it just me or do articles like this make anyone else want to beat their head on a wall?

Out of respect for the several people I know to just be liberals, I have to say that many, (most?) of the Democrats have left liberal behind.  They’re no longer liberals, they’re Socialist heading to Communist.  The folks we’ve always thought of as liberals are probably as politically frustrated as conservatives.

How would you deal with that issue?

I'm not a politician, so I don't pretend to have all the answers. Just have tons of questions about what has gotten us into this mess.

What is wrong with that?

Money equals power. Power to enforce their beliefs and ideas on the rest of us. If you think you voice is being heard, you are wrong. Elected officials don't listen to the people. They only hear those who have the money to pay for their votes.

Yes, after money comes power, but all the money in the world (literally) couldn't get Hillary elected, so the people do have a voice.

So are you saying everything would be hunky dory if we could just separate the wealthy from their money?

No of course not. But there should be way to keep govt equal. Let's start by getting rid of lobbyist and corrupt politicians. I proposed term limits to force Congress to make progress while they are there.

Citizens United case turned money into votes. That ain’t good for anyone without that kind of dough, be you liberal or conservative.

Again, I’d love to see how many in Congress are left if we got rid of the corrupt.  I’d love for every member to come under the scrutiny of a team like Mueller has.  Bet he’d get plenty of indictments.  We probably ought to have that about every 3 years.

      Whatever happened to educating people so that they don’t go off the deep end pursuing an incident that shouldn’t be political in the first place? Seems everyone is looking for their “trigger”moment. The dumbing down of America has taken its toll. Anyone who would hold this against her is doing so out of spite and for political gain. Said people need to be ignored.

      You won’t get an argument from me that this won’t hurt her nationally but I don’t think this will hurt her in SD or even an appointment in a Republican administration.  I’m sure she saw backlash from some, apparently not from folks like you and me, which is significant, but like I said, I appreciate the honesty.

      Appreciate the confidence.  Why don’t we see how this works out for her.  Going great so far.  She MIGHT be able to get re-elected in South Dakota next election, but if a good candidate runs against her in the Republican primaries she may be in trouble.  I don’t think there’s a chance in hades she gets the VP nomination, and if for some reason Trump is dumb enough to give it to her, his chances of winning are probably over.  On a positive note, maybe DeSantis gets it now?  If they win and do a decent job then we’d have a VP ready to run for president in four years with a good shot of winning.

      I honestly don’t have an issue with it.  I grew up around livestock.  We had a neighbor lose nearly 30 animals in a 3-week period before they caught the dogs doing it. Those dogs needed to die.  I was there when my uncle killed a dog that was eating his chickens… didn’t bother me. If one of my dogs ever bites one of my kids it’ll be dead.  Immediately.  But some things are better left unsaid, and probably 90% of the country loves dogs, with only a small fraction of them being able to relate to why she did what she did.

      If only she was as politically savvy as you. 🙂
