  2. @@pawntune Negative campaigning works. Many losers (people, nations, ...) have lost by taking the high road. That's because government is all about power, and the worst people will stoop to anything and stop at nothing. In the end, I think the BEST strategy for a person who wants a good life is to prosper without the government ever noticing.

  4. He's a big-spending liberal, who's selling the con that government can be huge, stick its nose into everything, and tell everybody what to do, as long as it's run by the 'right people.' No. Government is the One Ring, corrupting all whom it touches. The solution isn't more and better governance. The solution is LESS governance.

  5. The first mistake is the belief that national elections are a path to a better future. What happens on the local level filters up. That's where you change the face of a party. 3rd parties are only good for moving the needle in one or both major parties. They're mutating viruses. As soon as a 3rd party's platform resonates with a big enough fraction of the population, one or both major parties will adopt just enough of their platform to hijack the new movement. 3rd parties are only good for whatever influence they exert on the 2 main parties. But make no mistake. The president and 90% of Congress will be members of one of the two major parties. They're amoebas. They're BORG. They will hijack and subvert any significant 3rd-party movement, by hook or by crook. The Tea Party got taken down PROMPTLY. IRS, FBI, whatever it took. And with the laws as complicated and contradictory as they are, the decision to prosecute ANYone is a political decision, for we are ALL in violation. It's just a matter of digging deep enough and stretching a point, here and there. Same for NOT prosecuting someone in the club. "She didn't MEAN it. It was an honest mistake. Careless but not criminal."

  6. You can't win with a 100% positive campaign. If you don't point out the flaws in your opponent, nobody will know why you're better. Joe Biden was elected mostly by the universal media smears of Trump. People didn't care Joe's the biggest liar in U.S. history. They just hated Trump. IMO, Joe won the nomination for 2 reasons: He would do whatever the Party asked and no other candidate actually wanted to be the president who tried to implement the insane platform that they all KNEW would destroy whoever was in the Oval Office. Joe was the guy who stepped forward in the lineup by virtue of everybody else on the 2020 Democrat debate stage taking a step backwards.

  7. You don't know how this works: The Dems will put forward a New Messiah - possibly RFK, Jr - who will say "That's not us. That wasn't me. That was all Joe Biden." People will buy it, especially if Trump's the Republican nominee.

  9.  @SclountDraxxer  Broad agreement on the military- and media-, health- and education-industrial complexes. On health: Do away with federal. Devolve HHS (FDA, CDC) to the states. I don't believe we need government agencies like those at all. I think competition and consumers demanding accountability and transparency with their dollars, combined with instant, global communications in the hands of virtually everyone would clean things up faster, more effectively, and with less collateral harm than government intervention. But we don't know, because the gov't hijacked all of the organic means by which a true free market would regulate things. But that's my pragmatic libertarian opinion that most liberals refuse to accept. "People are too greedy. It'd never work." "So your solution is to put all that power into the hands of the people who are the greediest power seekers of all?" But the compromise position is to devolve those powers to state and preferably local political entities. Same with education. I believe all education should be private. It should be like buying your kids' clothes, with all the price and quality options there are for sneakers. But the compromise is 100% local control, local funding and School Choice. No federal mandates. Let towns and states compete for the best education systems. Same with health. Medical care should be 100% private. The compromise: Get the feds out of the business. Local towns should take pride in their charitable contributions to the local doctor(s) and hospital. Don't WORRY about the next valley or 2 states over. Do the best you can with what you have wherever you are. We're lucky to get 20 cents on the dollar by the time all the federal bureaucrats take their cut, and all the Local bureaucrats who manage the federal stuff on the ground take THEIR cut. My doctor spends 1/3 of every day filling out paperwork for the government and government-regulated insurance companies. Medical benefits were unheard of until FDR froze wages (horrible, fascist intervention). When he did that, Big Corporations started adding medical benefits as an end run, to give themselves a huge advantage in the labor market. Nationalized health care was invented by Bismarck, based on the biggest arms manufacturer in Germany's "company towns." Take over health care and people will be as loyal to you as though their lives depended on it, which they literally DO! The Krupp company required employees to sign a loyalty oath and a non-disclosure agreement to get the health benefit. Bismarck liked that. A lot. And it set the stage for a Hitler, later, with a public that was conditioned to trust its parent-government leadership unquestioningly. And, with public education, Hitler indoctrinated an entire generation of young people to the new, Nazi World Order. What did the USA do before FDR? Private doctors and lots and lots of charity. We had the best health care system in the world, before the government hijacked it. And after COVID, no one can deny the fascistic outcomes, there. Truth was censored. Lies were rammed down people's throats... And for decades, we were told fructose was good for us, but animal fats were deadly. Exactly backwards. But the Sugar Lobby bribed a few politicians, et voila! Remember when Big Tobacco was telling us what brands were doctor-recommended? De-centralize. Russell Brand's a bleeding socialist, but I can agree with him on that one guiding principle. Give NO man or small ground that much power over everyone's lives. I think it's bad even at the state level, but at least then, no one person or group can impose their mistakes and corruption on the entire country all at once. Some states will do great. Some will suck. Just like people.

  10. What we need are classical liberals: Limited government, free-market capitalism, and an end to foreign meddling (entangling alliances that drag all into war over brush wars). "End justifies the means" has to be abolished. The proper means IS the proper end. Improper means can get you the win, today, but destroy you ini the long run. Nothing wrong with Christianity. It's as legit as any other belief system and better than most. As with any big movement or institution, it is just as prone to being hijacked by power seekers as any other movement or institution. Jesus TRIED to weld REASON onto faith. "If the law says one thing and the Golden Rule says another, go with the Golden Rule." You know what they got Jesus on? Healing the sick on the Sabbath! He broke Mosaic Law when he did that. The Romans didn't care. It was the Pharisees who took him down, just like the Fruit of Islam took down Malcolm X. Things have flipped. Those who call themselves 'liberals' are now the dogmatic reactionaries, protecting the status quo. A segment of the conservative side are the same way, only waiting THEIR chance to re-take the Establishment, and ram THEIR beliefs down everyone's throat. The broad middle can agree on getting government off our backs. The Big Compromise between left and right is to get the federal government to devolve 80% of its duties to the states. We don't need HHS, FDA, CDC, Interior, Agriculture, Education Departments. Let each state EXPERIMENT with health and social services, and learn from each other on a smaller scale. Don't want high taxes? Move to a low-tax state. Want Free Stuff? Move to a blue state. Let the people have options and vote with their feet.
