(2,720 posts)In fact, I've stated them to you, and you've clearly just forgotten, or don't bother to read.
But once again, the cliff notes version: I'm just a Democrat, not an anti-Democratic Party agitator who screams "authoritarian" as an epithet at the drop of a hat. (Seriously,google this: site:democraticunderground.com "Rhett o Rick" authoritarian - it's sadly hilarious.)
I've even spoken to you about your belief in the "class war" previously, though you've forgotten about it. I just wish you could come out to rural America for a short while, and talk to the people I talk to. You'd find blood-red Republicans who don't have two nickels to rub together, and let be guarantee you that you do not speak for them in your absurd 99% class war framing. They are 100% convinced illegal-alien Latinos drive down wages, for instance, and want massive deportation campaigns. Even though the people hiring those illegal workers aren't in the "1%" either (more like the 10%), and such a campaign would make many businesses less profitable.
One would think with the US's dismal track record in non-war "wars" (War on Drugs, War on Terror, War on Hunger, etc), you'd stay away from such a silly construction as a "Class War", and start thinking about it more in terms of a social policy. But honestly, I'm not expecting any degree of subtlety from you. What little actual reasoning you do is purely done in shades of black and white.
