As a youth you could of pursued a life of simplicity based on those so called values. But you didn't.  

 

You took full advantage of the things that capitalism provided knowing that at any time you could of chased the values you blabber on about.

Nonsense. You pursued money as a career and not those values. 

 

Hypocritical at best.

I first earned money as an employee, then as a sub-contractor, and finally as a full contractor. I never worked at anything that was contrary to my values, and did work for free or for a reduced fee for some businesses that couldn't afford my regular fee.

I did the best I could in the capitalistic system I lived in, but I now recommend a more socialistic system.

I learned as I got older.

Capitalism is contrary to your values. Yet you never stepped away from it to live the life you speak of. You had full control at any time to live a socialist life within that system. You didn't.

They have gad their chances. Bernie Sanders and RFK jnr.

 

The Dems just want 'business as usual'. Not interested in change to help the American people one bit.

 

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I am a far-left liberal, and I accept that Trump's election was, in part, a "wake-up call" on what the right-wingers call "woke" issues. However, I think the "wake-up call" should not be taken as a call to change the policies but to try to further educate the public on these issues and what is best for society. I, myself, intend to stay "woke." 

I won't be joining you.  The radical Left has already tried to stuff too much down my throat.  Don't want and don't need it.

It is you who do not understand. I am woke.  I will remain woke. It doesn't matter to me if that's not what the majority of my fellow citizens want right now, and I didn't lose. I kept my values. I only hope more of my fellow citizens will develop those values in the future. I think four more years of Trump might help them see the results of rejecting those values. And actually, I don't think they reject these values. I think they've just put their own interests above them.

circling the  drain mate... taking away meritocracy with woke ideals will never work... the dems bud lighted themselves  the vast majority of people dont want or like critical race theory or trans overstep into sports and bathrooms etc..you are hopefully a dying breed of wokists... sorry

 

Good for her. The liberati and their fellow travelers lost. Will they learn the lesson, or will they continue the same losing trend to people control, insane leftist policies, and general wokeness ( multiple genders, the lgb+ silliness, stupid green policies, MMCC scam etc ) ?

 

Most people don't care about lefty illusions. They just want a decent life, where they can afford to raise a family, eat well, live in a decent home, and enjoy life without worrying about crime, inflation and government intrusion.

Why sorry? Your take is entirely correct. You have nothing to apologise about.

IMO this entire fiasco is because sensible people have been too afraid of the wokists to come out and reject the insanity in public- cancel culture writ large.

Hopefully that will now end as the anti wokeist in chief will be in charge come January 20 ( here's a prediction- his crowd at the inauguration will be larger than Obama's ).

If you're referring to Thailand, it does have a lot of socialistic features. Good examples are the public health system and public hospitals,

You don't get it, we don't want to be "educated" on this. We have had enough of this bullsh*t and that is why you lost the popular vote.

How do you define an election win of 51% to 47.5% as a "vast majority"?

Kamala lost the popular vote (just barely, 51% to 47.5%) because people were lied to and conned by Trump. Now, we'll just have to see how things go over the next four years. I predict chaos and catastrophe.

The ideology can remain living rent free in your head. It's part of Trump derrangement syndrome. It won't get any traction farther than that. Corporations are already killing of DEI and pleased to do so. You're a dinosaur, not a progressive. Your groupthink is socially retrograde and unappealing to everyone - hence the LANDSLIDE

 

 

As for Haley attempting to ingratiate herself with Trump voters I'm at least pleased she's found a different platform other than making a war on other nations.

Hillary apparently had a "vast majority" of the total vote  in 2016 when it was less if I remember.

Won popular vote by millions

 

Won electoral vote by nearly 100 when it's over

 

On track to win every battleground state

 

Flipped blue states red

 

Increased gop vote from black, Hispanic, Asian

 

Finally, I would remind you that almost no one save for DEI voters were voting for Harris policies assuming one could even figure that out. It was simply an anti Trump vote. You and millions of people like you voted for an absolute idiot and were happy / content with that decision based upon your immaturity and blindsidedness.

 

You're all taken for Patsies. Could have run Minnie Mouse and you'd have voted for her.

In 2016, it was 48% Hillary and 46% Trump. 2016 United States presidential election - Wikipedia And, no, I wouldn't call that a "vast majority" either.

Yes, my vote was more against Trump than for Kamala, but I think Kamala would have made an okay president. Trump will be a disaster. And, yes, you're right again. I would have voted for Minnie Mouse or anyone else over Trump. 

I'll be interested to hear what you think four years from now...

Yes, 75M were either conned by Trump or have the same detestable values he does. I'll be very interested to see what you think about all this four years from now. If Trump is able to accomplish even only a few of the things he's promised, I will be completely demoralized about my home country's future.

This is actually an excellent point. Dems rejected RFKJR. He was a perfectly acceptable candidate and challenger to Trump. Yet, he did not conform to the madness and was passionate about going after the Swamp. He with Tulsi would have been a dynamite ticket.

 

Instead, they joined Trump. They with Musk, Ron Paul  and a number of smart people behind Trump. Trump having been burned and slandered  smart guy, smart businessman - first time in my life no war and chance to really turn the US around.

 

Before with Biden USA was finished. Fast track to rubbish bin of history. US has a chance.
