I have read more American history than you will ever read and have traveled widely across North America, Central America and South America. The ugliest racism by far today is towards the indigenous people of central and south America by white Hispanics, followed by the blatant racism towards African Americans by Asian Americans in the US, in particular Chinese.
You should try humility, especially when you are discussing a subject you are clueless about.
Unfortunately it’s very evident that your knowledge of “history” is a highly distorted, whitewashed one in which groups you identify with are always the good guys
The victimhood, delusion and hubris is dripping off that post
It sort of reminds me of the Brexiteers talking about history
There’s none so stupid as an (supposedly) educated fool
The people I identify with and socialize with in the US are mostly Hispanics, both white and mixed race. White northern Europeans like yourself are extremely boring.
You say you the worst racists are white Hispanics, that’s obviously why you identify with them
I forgive them.
He’s hardly going to start now
4 (Four) Republicans out of 191 voted to condemn Trump’s racist tweets.
The Republican party has overwhelmingly reaffirmed shameless racism as official party policy.
And let’s not forget why Trump made those racist tweets - to distract attention from his involvement with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Racism to distract from paedophilia - nothing has ever better summed up the malignant cancer on humanity that is the Republican party.
Here’s Trump with his paedo buddy who he claimed not to know or alternatively not to know well and not like
He seems to like him a lot here
Caught red handed
Wow, racism should be determined by poll now, says Fox News’s Brit Hume
Fox’s Brian Kilmeade thinks calling a racist white Republican president a racist is “offensive”
But calling a black Democratic president a racist based on nothing is fine
The most stupid, shameless people in the world are US Republicans
Life.
In a new Washington Post poll, 55% of Mexicans want migrants from central America deported and only 7% want to give them residency in Mexico. The remainder want them to be allowed stay in Mexico for as long as it takes to get into the US.
Awaiting the response from leftists denouncing the racism of Mexicans.
The split in the Democratic party continues to intensify. The third effort to launch impeachment was defeated today by 332 - 95, with 95 Democrats voting for impeachment proceedings and 134 against. In prior votes, in 2017 and 2918, 55 and 66 Democrats voted for impeachment so the pressure is rising. Democrats however need at least another 100 votes to prevail, so still a long way to go to get there.
What this demonstrates is the split in the party between moderates and progressives. A CNN headline piece this afternoon stated that moderate Democrats are indicating that the vote to condemn Trump yesterday has backfired, clearly an indication that moderates are running scared from the “squad” of progressives who Trump is portraying as the face of the party.
Interesting times. Moderates won the 2018 midterm elections for Democrats, lose them and Republicans win back the House and keep the Senate in 2020.
Is it like Britain ? The Tory party in a mess but Labour in a near bigger mess ?
It’s the same issue, a two party system but massive internal differences in both. One trying to cling onto the far right and hold the centre at the same time and the other trying to reign in the far left. Both failing miserably
Yes, except no Liberal Democrats as a voice of reason.
Incorrect.
The grass roots won the 2018 mid terms for the Democrats. Grass roots means highly energsed young people campaigning on the ground in huge numbers. You can’t win an election if you don’t have a highly energised grass roots.
The grass roots of the Democratic party is highly progressive.
Hence why somebody like Clare McCaskill, who rejected the progressive grass roots out of hand, failed abjectly in Missouri, why Kyrsten Sinema, who embraced them, won in Arizona, and why Beto O’Rourke, who also did, pulled in more votes in a mid-term senate election than Hillary Clinton did in a presidential election.
Democrats can’t win in 2020 unless they retain that highly energised grass roots and Pelosi and other corporates are doing a hell of a good job in alienating them.
No energised grass roots = turnout down, which is how Trump can win - that’s how he won Wisconsin with a lower vote total than Romney and won Michigan with barely any more votes than Romney pulled in.
Your takes on US politics are consistently hilariously ignorant.
For years you denied Trump was racist, now he is explicitly basing his whole campaign around racism, because racism works.
Oh the irony
The vast majority of the Liberal Democrats would be on the progressive wing of the Democratic party that you so despise
Yet another post that showcases spectacular ignorance
Hilarious.
Democrats throughout the country, bar the two coasts, are scared shitless of what the “squad” will do to their chances in 2020.
You don’t win elections in the US without appealing to moderate Democrats and Independents.
