Re: 2020 Democratic Primary
it is strange though, that in Scandinavia, and also in the Nordic countries, there is no such thing as a minimum wage. I think the minimum wage is only a thing when the worker's unions are not strong enough to negotiate. Strange how the minimum wage seems to stagnate when the government is deciding. @Amsel_

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary
I would get rid of the minimum wage in USA, because it is only deflating wages, and not enhancing them. At the same time, get organized, like so many other ppl are doing now

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary
I explain my point of view in the longer posts on this page, among other places:Amsel_ wrote:I wonder what's going through the mind of Pete supporters. I mean what causes you to look at this gay spook whose only prior office is mayor and who does badly even in biased polls and offers Americans literally nothing, and then think to yourself "Yep. That's our winning ticket."

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary
It's kinda clear, though, what the spectrum of choices is in the Dems' camp:
Mainstream candidates: Biden, Warren, Buttigieg, Bloomberg, Booker, Delaney, maybe even Tulsi because she doesn't have any radical taxation policies.
Far-left candidates that want revolution now: Sanders, Yang
And then there are Harris and Klobuchar who are somewhere in the middle.
But imo, Dems don't have a candidate that projects power and security. And I really doubt a majority of voters will support a red revolution in the USA.

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary
Probably gonna come down to if trump has garnered enough hate among progressives( often younger and notorious for not voting) to get them to go out and vote for whatever moderate dem gets the nomination. Either way, itās probably going to be close with the losing side 100% guaranteed to cry foul play.

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary
@gibson Well Trump is actively using the power of the presidency to coerce other countries into helping his reelection so crying foul play seems warranted

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary
I find it funny people are trying to convince others their political side is wrong. This is pretty much the prelude to violence.

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary
Fine I guess what I was trying to communicate is that talking about politics leads to problems and trying to change someones point of view is pointless.
Nazi Germany had them brownshirts beating up people who disagreed with their political views and good luck taking a time machine and telling them that being a nazi is bad. The political climate in the USA is heading towards that i'm afraid. (or pre nazi Germany if you nerds wanna get technical ^^)
I guess my point is that this whole topic is pointless lol and I find it fun I guess.

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary
I never said anything about concentration camps. You're really smart. I'm talking about political violence. Really not much to look into here but since you wanna be an internet tough guy i'll bite.fightinfrenchman wrote:Yeah the other day I tried explaining to a friend of mine that I disagree with free college for all and suddenly I started beating the shit out of them then putting Jews in concentration camps.

My main point is why waste time telling people your political views? People have their mind made up already. When different views collide it can lead to violence.
