Independents, Moderates

Why, it's exactly the same as it was last week. Or last month, or last year, or the year before.

Pro Financial tip: Market ups and downs have zero impact when you don't swim in that cess pit.

Unless you ARE retired and are relying on your 401k for income, especially those who may be towards their later years.

 

[HisArpy]

Shithead, I said I hate Trump. Which left wing policies have I stated that I support?

Do you understand that Trump is to the right of center, not left? And by proclaiming that you hate Trump, and won't support his policies, you're also saying that you support policies TO THE LEFT?

It's almost like you have no idea what words that are falling past your lips mean.

Not my fault you drank the kool aid.

 

[ll74]

Our entire country has moved towards 401k. Politically, you're being a moron here.

 

[colddiesel]

The Democrat party has pathetically weak leadership, which almost entirely fails to protect or enhance the futures of the people that vote for them, the working and middle classes. Their leadership for the past ten years has been Corporatist, looking to Corporate America for donations while ignoring the people that actually vote. They are too old, too wealthy, and totally out of touch.

The Republicans are no longer conservative at all, they are an Oligarchy driven by greed which in order to legitimize their criminality has made it ok to feed their voters a regular dose of Racism, mysogyny and hatred.
Its an awful choice.

There is no such thing as the “Democrat party”.

<-- isn't a lemming to follow along blindly.

nb: Most of the seriously wealthy didn't get that way via the stock market. That's not to say they're not invested in it, I'm saying that it wasn't the primary vehicle used to gain that wealth.

In your head, brain-washed, brain-dead Zombie.

Majority of people in our country rely on retirement funds.

If you're focused on the "seriously wealthy" then certainly you're not discussing the same thing I am.

Dam. That's some serious 2nd grade insulting skillz. Too bad this isn't 2nd grade or the schoolyard playground.

 

[Typo Fu Master]

No, you define it.

Ok. I define "the average American" as someone who is a member of what folks on this board like to refer to as The Working Class or The Middle Class. Greater emphasis on The Working Class. I also include anyone at or below poverty level though their experiences of being "average" are probably much worse. That you even asked me to define it suggests you've never had to decide which bills to pay this month.

So no biological women or trans women, and no people of color who don’t pass the White Judeo-Christian litmus test.

If they're the best of the best, none of what you said is relevant. If they applied and didn't make the cut, none of what you said is relevant. In my opinion.

“With impunity” was the question. Anyone CAN say anything, but you apparently believe there should be zero consequences.

I believe actions have consequences. If someone wants to let everyone around them know they're a racist bigot, and no one is forced to listen to it, they're just screaming into the void. If they have a captive audience and refuse to stop when asked then what happens afterward is a consequence of their actions.

Think hard about who has never paid into Social Security but may still merit the benefit.

I don't care. I said I wanted the reward for the decades I've been paying into SS with the belief that it was actually going to be there. Turns out, that's probably not going to be the case.

The entire statement. It was…weird…

I like all of my rights exactly as they are. I believe there has been some infringement on my right to free speech.

Shithead, you support a guy who gives everyone insulting juvenile names. He's also the only guy I've ever seen who has perpetual PMS.

Dam. It's almost like you think being a fake ass internet commando with a big mouth entitles you to tell other people what to think.

Your comment suggests that only people who paid into Social Security merit its benefits.

Hope that ^ helps.

[Typo Fu Master]

Wrong.

Enlighten me on your definition of "the average American."

Wrong.

Enlighten me on why race and gender matter? I was giving you a pass on personal beliefs but apparently that's relevant. A good soldier does their best to support what their superiors want.

Your comment suggests that only people who paid into Social Security merit its benefits.

My comment suggests that I was expected to pay a portion of my paycheck which was non-negotiable, with the expectation that, upon achieving a certain age, I would be getting at least some of it back.

Wrong.

If you wanted to say that Republicans were "MAGAts" would that be hate speech? Please explain why or why not.

Ahh, yes, entitlements. That is the word that triggers you and is essential to your attacks on anyone who disagrees with your biased politics. There are certainly people who post here regularly saying, the moron just described himself. Internet commando...lol

Don't take him too seriously. From what I gather from others he is a disabled loudmouth who pretends he knows law. Completely useless and inconsequential.

 

[Typo Fu Master]

Look at these people, freely expressing their opinions.

Speaking in racist, fascist, misogynistic, bigoted, sociopathic right wing / Libertarian coded language is nothing new or special here on the PB. We see you.



I was not actually engaging with you in any meaningful way: I was simply letting you expose your racism, misogyny, bigotry, and sociopathy. You are basically "neutral" on racism, fascism, misogyny, and bigotry, (your coded language) which makes you a tacit proponent of all of those things. Your sociopathy is right out in the open with your “me centric” comments.

And, ironically, sociopathy is a hallmark of MAGAts ,(along with racism, fascism, misogyny, and bigotry) so…

You keep doing you, sociopathic MAGAt.

Ok. You didn't actually answer any of my questions. Is calling someone a "libturd" hate speech? How is that any different from calling someone a "MAGAt"?

Inquiring minds want to know.

And now the sealioning starts…

Another hallmark of a MAGAt.

Interesting. A non-response.

I know what sea-lioning is. My goal posts remain firm. Is calling someone a "libturd" or a "MAGAt" considered hate speech?

I want a strong country that's united.

Nice idea, but if you know your history, you know the USA has never really been "united" in any meaningful way.

I want the average family to be healthy, and competently able to weather adversity without assistance, if necessary.

How do you "weather adversity without assistance"? If you don't need any help, then I question whether the conditions meet the definition of "adverse".

Would love it if there was a real moderate party with practical ideas.

There is. It's called the Democratic Party. If you think they're wild-eyed leftists like the deplorables here always say, that says all we need to know about your own perspective.

I guess that's the problem.

It's not meant to be a state of being perpetually self sufficient. Just capable for a few weeks if SHTF.

That is a lie.
