I must of hit the nail on the head to elicit so many comments on it. Maybe you should cry in the lounge about me.
You "must of," sure. Only explanation.

So what's the deal with saying that people having children causes a spread of "dregs"?
Do you think poverty is a genetic defect? What's the idea behind "the spread", anyway? How does that work?I didn't. I said abortion reduces the spread. Poor people overwhelmingly make up the biggest percentage of abortions. At roughly 500k procedures per year overall, it's the cheapest and most effective
I don't see it either, but I'm hoping he has an interesting answer.Nothing really. Democrats actually won a presidential election (remember that in America, it is almost impossible to have an ideological extremist president), and the portion of the left that opposes any actual action got mad about it.

I'm in favor of not raising taxes and still helping out our own people. I'm against importing the solution to a declining population from 3rd world countriesAre you in favor in higher taxes to pay for poor people's kids? Are you anti abortion in general or just when you point out the economic benefit?

Yeah yeah, I already mentioned they need to take their losses like grown ups. Its funny how its only a "threat to democracy" when republicans do it though.Top Republican Presidential nominee is under indictment on 91 Charges for refusing to relinquish power, being a gigantic fraud, and keeping State secrets for personal use...current House Speaker voted not to certify the last election
Are you seriously acting like the democrats don't gerrymander?Republicans all over the US attempting to further gerrymander maps so egregiously the very conservative Supreme Court told a State to knock it off and now another State is also ignoring Court mandates for less unfair redistricting.

It's a stated goal of most social media platforms and the current administration
"Mainstream liberals" = neoliberals hired by mainstream media I presume
"Nutter left" = ? Not even sure what you mean by this. The people who aren't "mainstream"?
Are the antiwar journalists that MSNBC fired after 9/11 what you consider the "nutter left"?
Maybe the fact you don't think of them as mainstream explains the dynamic you are trying to communicate.
It's because of the arguments you are making and the consistent shilling. Note, I don't shill for Bernie the way you do for Biden. I liked some of his ideas and I voted for him. I don't defend him tooth and nail on everything he does.
No, you havent. Your biggest critique of the Democratic party is that they occasionally virtue signal about corruption in politics. Oh, and getting our "future" out of financial ruin. Your exact ideology is why the Democrats lose every other election. They need to ignore people like you and do things that everyday average Americans would agree with. There's no excuse for polling 50/50 against Trump.

- The left has been playing dirty for a long time and the GOP is too cowardly to play the same game. Its long over due to grow a pair of balls.
Boring!Not dirty enough for Mr. Holmes...
If you just mean social disapproval for views, of course that has always happened and always will and should. But people should also be free from legal consequence for giving their opinions. And that's a mainstream left position.
No, "mainstream" means just normal people who make up the majority of liberals.
Good piece from Noah Smith that recently kind of gets into defining the portion of the left I'm referring to: https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/the-american-socialist-worldview-4aa.
Again, this is just a not-very-plausible lie. I have never shilled for Biden, and I have criticized him much more than you've criticized Bernie, though I don't buy wild stories about him taking bribes or being senile or whatever other loony claims are out there.
Again, I don't care if you agree with me (or really what you think about anything). You asked about where I disagree with Democrats, and I gave some examples.
No, Jack. The topic of the thread is "Criticize Your Own Party", not "Argue With Everyone Who Criticizes Your Party"
Simple misread on your part, I'm sure.
Never understood why Conservatives are so anti-abortion.
If a woman doesn't want a kid, let her get rid of it. If she doesn't want a kid ad is forced to have it against her will, more than likely, she'll probably end up being a shitty mother and the kid will be a burden to society and contribute to a higher crime rate than we already have.
I argued with a Republican about this before and he said "You never know, that child could grow up and be a doctor and save your life." my response was "Yeah, he could also grow up and slice your throat for the $20 you have in your wallet"
