    The people who don't think it's "fair" that white men colonized America and much of the globe. They want open borders to stamp out American imperialism and re-colonize America the way they'd prefer it to be colonized.

    The issue is hardly that general. IF trump had such an event, the ugly accusations and slander would be flying in from the left like seagulls to a feast.
    The double standard IS the democratic standard.

    It is a simple placement of a flag, if nothing else to show respect for the very concept of the right to vote that has been secured at such great cost.

    No one is asking for anything other that it be present.

    Your simply wrong on this.

    None of those hags are on the stage though. Angry looking bunch!

    I know certain parts of the left are ashamed of their country. That’s a different matter IMO.

    But for a political party to choose to not have the flag of the National they say they want to lead? Just silly.

    Yeah, well Obama said that America is not exceptional and went around the world apologizing "for us". Maybe that's where the no American flags thing started.

    Policies of what?
    Free stuff for everyone?
    Giving our nation to any who want to come here, regardless of qualification or criminal nature?
    Legalizing crime, importing criminals?
    Destroying the constitution?
    Killing the golden goose for the celebration of the end of free enterprise?
    Attacking entire races as being racist?
    Discarding the basic values that built the nation?
    Making us all subjects instead of citizens?

    THESE PEOPLE NO POLICIES AND NO PLATFORM FOR THE NATION AND THE PEOPLE.
    THEY HAVE AN AGENDA- AND THAT IS TO DESTROY THE STRUCTURE OF THE NATION AND CREATE A POWER STRUCTURE THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO CONTROL ALL THE PEOPLE.

    No political group in history has cared less about the American people than these people do today. IF Trump was the person they try to portray- they would all be in re-education camps right now.
    Without question, we are watching the biggest political fraud that has ever been perpetrated on the American people "Democrat" used to be a respectable political association. Today- that party no longer exists except in the sense that those who have hi-jacked it still ride the name.

    Sanders and Warren are advocating for lots of free stuff for everyone! Too much Oprah watching...

    Except Oprah has a way to pay for what she gives away!

    This sorta reminds me of the 2016 DNC convention where they prohibited uniformed police to be seen, they didn't allow a single uniformed cop on the floor. The left loves to broadcast who they hate. With that in mind, you gotta ask why do they even have any white men on that stage.

    Of course they don't openly represent that, it is what they wish to achieve by blowing smoke up your skirt. Which is floating by the way due to the hot air.
    Read the "New Way Forward" act that 44 dems back. Trump wasn't a politician, so what you see is what you get. The dems are full-blown politicians, that the core strategy is tell you what you want to hear to get your vote, then do whatever you want to do anyway. Hopefully you have enough perception to look over the history of politics and realize the truth of that- and enough moral courage to see that you've been buying it all your life. and that the change nearly all people have been asking for from all presidents is now actually happening....

    I doubt you will have that capacity. Few people can look at their own position and admit the degree to which they have been duped. It's human nature.

    Their lack of effectiveness is a plus IMO. I’d rather have those knuckleheads in those seats not getting anything accomplished than a competent lefty getting lefty things passed.

    You know like AOC and her joy over not giving business tax breaks to move to NY so they can use that tax break money for schools instead. ...pure genius that!!

    How many people do you actually believe hate the country with the psychotic passion we see here and Progressive politicians?

    10 years ago, Gallup did two polls. One on ideology and one asking whether people consider themselves progressive. As I recall, the ideology question came out like this:
    Liberal 20%
    Moderate 40%
    Conservative 40%

    26% of Liberals considered themselves Progressive ====> that was 5.2% of the population

    Fast forward to 2018 midterm that AOC won. 11.8% of Democrats voted in the primary ---- no doubt the more radical players since AOC won with what, 57% of the 11.8% ?===> 6.8% of Democrats in a Democrat district. 2020 will be interesting. My sense is that Dem politicians don't know their audience. If I'm wrong, I may have to move to Cuba to experience the good life again.

    When we were dating we were young and politics never entered our minds. We still talk, she says if we had stayed together that she would have turned me into a progressive.

    When she tells me she would have turned me into a progressive, I tell her I would have beaten the progressiveness out of her. She flies all around the country, vacations in Italy and Australia and then lectures me because the engine in my car is too big.

    Progressive is the term they use to disguise the fact they are socialists/communist. I know, I know, they aren't the same. BS, they are interchangeable to most Americans. There are still some Democrats that are liberals but the party has rolled them in with the extreme elements and they have to accept that as the cost of remaining a Democrat. There really are moderates on both sides but they never get to talk to each other like they once did.

    The current government is almost rotten enough to trigger taxpayer revolt. Maybe a better term would be a reality check. Our culture has been flooded with people who think we should respect batshit crazy as valid policy. Last night on the debate stage those kooks all agreed that global warming was our number one political priority. All attacked fossil fuels which is like living on a boat and advocating draining the lake.

    Did you just do the equivalent of asking how a leftist can be a leftist? Asking for a friend.

    I’m not sure I worded that as well as I could have.

    Honest question, how can you ask to lead a nation but not have the flag of said nation present when you do? The very symbol of any nation is their flag.

    He's toast. He looked like a terrified old man to me and I'm a good judge because I am one.
