    Are you having difficulty grasping these difficult concepts?

    Perhaps she longs for the land of freedom where she came from. If we could somehow just implement Sharia law.

    You missed it. They aren't dealing with the economic issues, almost certainly because they don't agree on collectivizing production.
    No, very few Democrats push socialism (collectivizing production).
    Sanders is a democratic socialist, not a socialist. Sanders doesn't talk about collectivizing production.
    The NY "fellow traveler" (and her pals) are minor players in the Democratic Party.
    Both parties have moved away from the center. Will they continue? Not necessarily.

    They don't have a plan just like the folks protesting the Vietnam War didn't have a plan. Yes, they'll fail getting radical change.

    We have a special interest group for every group in this country. Hispanic chamber of commerce. Black student union. Muslim realtor Association. Jewish Bar Association. Asian Americans Association of Etc etc etc. All of these groups seek to advance their racial/ethnic power and influence. But if a white person or group of whites advocate for this it is RACIST!!! If a white person acknowledges their whiteness and God forbid advocates for other whites and their well being it is RACIST!!! If you don't sit back and smile while this country is destroyed you are.... RACIST!!!

    Nice try.

    Those groups exist to ensure that those groups, which have all been oppressed by white people in this country, are getting an equal opportunity. Not the same as the clubs of white people you are likely a member of...

    Ha. Oppressed. If it is or was so oppressive why did they come here?

    I know, because it's not. But!!!! If this identity **** continues you will see the emergence of a white chamber of commerce, student union, bar Association etc... Especially in communities where whites have become the minority. Is that ok?

    And what oppression are you refering to? The south... Ok. What about a place like California or non southern states. Please tell me about the history of oppression in the pacific Northwest. Liberal bullshit...

    Your first statement is obviously one of surrender. I accept.

    Your second statement is ignorant. You have a lot of buzz words and are flailing well off topic. Omar is an elected representative to Congress. Her opinions you may not like, but attacking her with lunacy is unwarranted. You think our economic system isn't full of injustice. She thinks it is. Reality is likely in the middle ground. You should acknowledge that and work towards it even if it's with someone you don't fully agree with. Whoever taught you life is only full of people you agree with did you a real disservice. Worse, if they taught you to belittle,ignore, and attack those who do disagree with you then they outright failed you.

    You claimed they don't exist. You set a low bar. I stepped over it easily. Racism exists everywhere. It may not be in political power everywhere at this moment, but the only thing stopping them is voters who see them for what they are. It's people who protested for equality that keep these groups in the fringe only. It's people like you who get butt hurt that someone else is asking to be treated equally by the system that allows these fringe groups to exist. If you pursued them with the vigor you pursue your political opponents online, they would be vanquished tomorrow I bet. :D

    Wow... You probably think white terrorism is as big a problem as Islamic terrorism don't you?

    They're all dealing with economic issues, but I agree there is some disagreement on what to collectivize and when. However, I fully expect those disagreements to dissipate as time goes on.

    I disagree. "Medicare for All" - nationalizing/socializing the HI industry - is but one example of the socialism that many Democrats are pushing.

    Democratic socialists are socialists (see Clement Attlee and Hugo Chavez to name two). They're not democratic conservatives and democratic libertarians.

    As for Sanders talking about collectivizing industry, see "Medicare for All", and given license I have no reason to believe he would stop there.

    Not hardly. Furthermore, she's the face of the DP's future.

    More than likely, most particularly the "Democratic" party.

    It reminds me of when president Trump told a British reporter at the D-day celebration that nobody had heard of Vietnam when he was dodging the draft and then recently he said nobody had heard of Juneteenth until he discovered it.

    In your mind, what are these things that prevent people from starting businesses?

    White terrorism is a much bigger problem just because there are many more of them around, and they have more freedom of movement and they have greater access to deadly weapons.

    Well, since according to you, I'm ignorant, off topic, have dis-servicing role models, and you've otherwise attacked me simply because you disagree with me, I guess we're done here.

    Your race card has expired due to constant overuse. Any further attempt to denigrate forum users will be ignored. Thank you for your understanding.

    Right now Leftist terrorism is by far the biggest problem. God only knows how many people have been killed, injured and attacked over the past month and a half alone and the property damage is already in the tens of millions.

    Unfortunately, I've noticed some occasional issues with the image in the post above displaying, so I'm going to direct upload it here:

    Look familiar?

    You bet it does...

    People don't think The Great Leap Forward, China's bloody cultural revolution can happen here. All you need is a small number of emboldened youth and a general population who think, "It can't happen here."

    Sound familiar?
