Re: ONLY AUTHORIZED ELECTION NEWS THREAD--no debating allowed

I admit I haven't read the past 19 pages. So I'm just gonna jump in and react to what I have read, sorry if I'm repeating someone else. But living in a place that does essentially run a mix of socialism and capitalism, I'd say it's very possible. Because the world is not ideal, one specific ideology rarely works perfectly. They both make of for some of what the others lack in regards to working in the real world... but that's just how I see it.

It has worked in the past,and the problem these days is an inability to see the long term good of compromise,the ability to imagine the long game.

Exactly, there are plenty of issues that can be helped with bipartisanship. I've gone more into partisan hostility in my blogpost.

If we want a bright future,then we need to open the doors and windows of our civility and imagine as John Lennon did.

Perhaps we need a lot more dreamers to find our path to a brighter future.

Clinton Might Not Be the Nominee, WSJ.

The gist of it is that if Bernie wins California, and has a strong showing afteward, then there's an opening to deny Hillary the nomination and for Biden to throw his hat in.

We need the kind of dreamers who say "What if?" and then conduct an experiment and honestly evaluate the results - Scientist-Dreamers.

The other kind of dreamer - the ones who say "This is real!" but never test it, never honestly evaluate real evidence, never carefully consider the other side, never conduct an experiment that might disprove a thesis, vilify all who disagree with them - these, the Dreamer-Fantasists, are the banes of all existence, and a blight upon the land.

Part of why Social Security is the 3rd rail is that it's the only clear-cut case of getting something directly back to you from your taxes. We pay school taxes - so a kid becomes a Dr. and we can't afford to go to her, or drops out of school and has kids and needs welfare, etc. People in general feel they aren't getting much bang for their buck. But with SS you get a check. It's a straight-line reward system.

Combining social ideologies is a nice concept, but the human animal has proven time & time again to be greed-based and therein lies the problem with all systems.

Right, because crony communism is so preferable to crony capitalism.

You got that right. Worker controlled production is the future. The rich must be eaten.

I really do not understand the violent reaction concerning Trump,yes trump is a stupid guy running for a job WAY over his pay grade,and yes he says stupid things,BUT that can never condone the type of violence happening around him. I do not like the guy,but this is not how we are supposed to react,protest sure,but peaceful protest!

The really sad thing is that it isn't just Trump or Trump supporters. It seems to be taking place in far too many situations. It seems like what used to be called "bad behavior" is now "regular behavior," and there isn't "bad behavior" unless you kill a puppy (on TV).
