Does anyone else see the complete lack of long-game planning?

Dunno much about American political history, but haven't dems (and reps) already done that in the past?

Granted, it's a bit more of a risky play at the moment, given the fairly extreme nature of the agendas in play on either side.

Well said.

No.

Most national emergencies have been sanctions laid against nations or individuals. It'd be foolish to think there wasn't a political agenda in that, but that's more of an international political agenda (that both parties would support) rather than a domestic party-line agenda.

This is the first time a president has ever asked for something, been denied, then declared a national emergency to get it anyway. It's childish, sure, but it sets a very dangerous executive precedent. It basically opens the door to allow the president to do anything they want, with military spending, without checks or balances. I'm not saying Trump plans to become a dictator (he doesn't seem to plan really anything), but this action would open the door for someone else who does.

You Democrats are communists anyway. You are bound and determined to take away all of our freedoms, but then you complain about Donald Trump and the GOP. You have been like this for awhile now and you know it. I know you are a condescending rude person like most liberals, but come on. You want to tell us what food to eat, what to drive, where to live...and don’t say you don’t. AOC and the Green New Deal has proven that. Maybe it is time for you to take a good look in the mirror and realize that you are just as bad as the people you claim about, you just sit on the opposite end of the political spectrum.

Seriously, there are over 44,000,000 registered Democrats in the US in the 30 states and one District that have party registration. That's not counting the tens of millions of people in the other 20 states and all the territories who vote democrat, and it's not counting the unknown millions of people who vote democrat most of the time but don't want to claim a party affiliation. Do you honestly think we're all the same? If so, you really have no concept of reality.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it. If I was in AOC's district, I wouldn't have voted for her in the primary. We're not all the same, and we don't all have exactly the same vision for America.

Um. No. They're not.

Democrats are declining as well: https://news.gallup.com/poll/245801/americans-continue-embrace-political-independence.aspx

Erm. Your point with this article is...that Dems and Reps are both on the way out, Reps first and Dems shortly after?

Never said I was a Republican. Just because I vehemently hate the Democratic Party with every fiber in me [like you do with the GOP] does not mean I am a Republican...unlike you who would gladly follow your Democrats you worship right off a cliff (and please do BTW).

I didn't call you a Republican. I also have no idea what you're trying to accomplish in this discussion, as the last few posts you've put up have had nothing to do with the post you're supposedly replying to.

Either actually engage, or go away. I'm bored with you.

But you are a devoted and committed Democrat who wants the party to rule as a one party state. You worship the party like the Soviets did the Communist Party.

Also, your comment doesn't appear to be connected to this thread. Maybe try actually responding to the ideas that have been presented?
