Just when I thought DCUM couldn’t get any more absurd. OP, you are not doing your fellow liberals any favors here.

name 3 examples of a republican policy that helped people and didn't just help a few and screw the rest

You must be joking.

1) Deregulation and corporate tax reform to get the economy growing at 3% and delivering more and better jobs for everyone in the private sector (like, what, 100 million people?)

2) Getting rid of the crazy "Dear Colleague" regulations concerning rape in college campuses that stole the presumption of innocence and essential safeguards from over a million students...because they were male.

3) New laws favoring generic drugs to lower drug prices

You can also argue than a stronger military and the "new NAFTA" are going to help many people.

And the list continues.

LOL. Yes, let’s help the rapey frat bros. They really need help.

I see you have learned from Goebbels how to label, scapegoat, dehumanize and defame others.

I can't believe the PPs that think men need MORE protection after years and years and years of women not being taken seriously when they have tried to report rape, assault and harassment.

Finally calling men to the carpet for bad behavior is not labeling, not scapegoating, not dehumanizing, and not defaming. It's called justice.

I suspect the men who are so up in arms about recent events have reason to be scared. Times up scumbags.

This is amazing.

You truly are Goebbels reborn, and have no idea about what you are doing.

Nope. Due process has always been there for men and should be. Innocent until proven guilty. How do they need more than that? The real problem is that women don’t get their day in court. They don’t get close to justice.

Ford got her day in court, and was a disgrace for all men and women in this country.

Strong processes is what helps women and men get justice. If justice is what you want, stop supporting bad jokes and bad processes.

In other words, its Republicans who actually improve people's living standards -- I'd say that's quite nice, but of course OP and friends may prefer Venezuela revolutionary values over American ones.

Surprise! Obama jump-started the economy and Trump hasn't managed to fully ruin it yet

Surprise, here you have an anti-science Dem

Look at the data in that chart -- you know how, I hope?

From 2009 to 2011, Obama did a great job.

From 2011 to 2016, he was mediocre at best.

From 2016 to 2018, Trump has done a pretty good job. (including taking the economy to levels no even dreamed by Dem neoBolsheviks)

When will you morons stop attributing the state of the economy to one man, the President, when any fool knows that the state of the economy depends on so many different factors and, in may cases, depends on things that happened long before this moment.

Hey, it's morons like you who spent years arguing that Saint Obama saved our economy...

You have just proven yourself an especially stupid person. I have never said that or would say it, because...read my post!
You know you are on an anonymous forum where you cannot attribute specific posts to a specific person unless they sign in, right? No, you don't grasp this, because you are an idiot.

You can't argue, so you insult. I hope you're not OP...

You just parroted a very convenient Dem bullet point. Now, show us where YOU said something in 2009 to the effect that Obama was NOT to be given credit for the improved economy.

During the Obama boom, it was Obama.

During the Trump boom, it's no one (or it is Obama too).

You're very funny.

And I will repeat, you are an idiot. It is an insult and also true. You are not making an argument that I can respond to, you are spinning a weird fantasy. I am telling you I don't give credit solely to any President for the current state of the economy and you keep insisting that I did for Obama. WTF is wrong with you?

Hey little joke, I made it very easy for you -- I asked you to produce any evidence of what you said in 2009.

You havent, so my best guess is, you're a little joke.

Sleep well, honey pea.

I cannot produce a DCUM post from 2009 lauding Obama for the state of the economy, because I cannot produce a post *I never made*. You are a very odd bird. No joke.

I will sleep well after a good laugh with my spouse at your weird responses.

That wasn’t a day in court, you moron. It was a Senate Judiciary committee hearing. He was not on trial. He was a job applicant.

The process is already there. The point is men had protections forever. We need more protection for women.

So bizarre! Judging someone based on their choice to use their political influence to make other people's lives worse!

What's next? Will we start judging people based on their actions? On the things they say? On the crimes they commit? Is nothing sacred anymore?!

The problem with your characterization is that it's wrong.

Whatever you may think about Republicans or Democrats, their end goal is actually very similar: maximize the happiness of all humans. The disagreement isn't on the goal, but how to get there. Republicans mostly see this and this is why the general feeling of Republicans towards Democrats is that the later is misinformed. Democrats somehow think that Republicans have different end goals, that instead of maximizing the happiness of all humans, Republicans are for oppression and suffering - and in this light it's easy to agree then that people working towards such goals are indeed evil.

Exactly! Many republican's just don't believe that the government is the solution to all of life's problems. Just because republican's don't believe that the government should be doing X, doesn't mean that they are against X. I'm 100% against the government paying for college for everyone (which is a current democratic proposal), but that doesn't mean that I'm against college. I'm also against many parts of Obamacare, and medicare for all, not because I want people to get sick and die, but because I don't believe that they are effective and that we can do better with less government interference and more free market involvement.

Honestly I lot of the reason I vote republican isn't because of specific things that I want the republican's to do (although tax cuts are always nice), or specific laws that I want them to pass, it is prevent the democratic party from doing the things that they want to do, which only make everything worse. For the most part I'm completely happy for Congress to do mostly nothing and just to cut back on regulations from time to time.

Well said. I agree.

I do. For the first time in my 68 year life, I do. I shy away from anyone who is a Republican in this last years andfreeze put anyone who I know who remains a Republican. And I do not hire trump supporters in my company at all - or Nazis or KKK members or NRA members.

I simply don’t want to know them anymore as they have nothing but bigotry and cruelty.

Um, yeah - just a thought: Unless you're asking people their political preferences, which I do believe is illegal as an interviewer, you have zero idea how applicants to your company vote. So please, stop the hyperventilating and hyperbole.

Also - lumping "Nazis, KKK members, and NRA members" in with mainstream Republicans and/or Trump supporters just makes you look incredibly stupid.

I never thought I'd be telling a 68 yr. old to grow up, but please - grow up.

Sorry, on this one, you are wrong. If you don't believe in non-binary people or don't want an abortion, that is up to you. But you don't get to project your religious insecurities on to other people.

x1000

So, you just object to one out of 7-8 examples of Obama-era policies harming millions of people. Thank you for the honesty...

Additionally, sorry but on that one I'm not wrong. Same as it is my interest as a fellow American to preserve your life, it's our interest to preserve unborn baby lives. And certainly it's in the interest of parents for millennia to ensure that people with penises don't go into women's restrooms.

Go spew your hate and bigotry elsewhere.

You've been brainwashed, my friend.

You were a baby once.

Yes, a wanted baby with parents who used birth control until they were ready to have me. All babies should be wanted.

GTF out of women's reproductive systems. You cannot FORCE them to give birth if that's not what they choose.

That's a barbaric approach, sorry. We're not talking about your hair style or the length of your nails.

Yes, it is a complex issue, but aborting a viable baby is something that society has a perfect right to regulate carefully.

It a decision between a woman and her doctor. Period.

You can’t FORCE women to give birth.

That's your DOGMA and as such I'm sure you truly believe it.

But it's not what SCIENCE or POLICY say.

LOL. Bible beater trying to bring science into this.

Stop trying to FORCE women to give birth.

Let us know how you feel about that when your husband, son, brother, father, or friend is falsely accused and no one is interested in hearing his side of the story. Look, it's clear you hate all men and want to see them burn in hell whether or not they committed any crime, but thankfully, civilized society is onto nutcases like you. Due process will be afforded to ALL. Sorry to disappoint you and your fever dream of revenge.
