sounds like you're mad that the country isn't 100% democrat. Sounds like how republicans are mad that democrats exist. You guys say Trump is a fascist. They say you guys are communists. either way sounds pretty shitty when you break it all down. maybe the entire government is full of commies and facist models?
Also, what part of the Democrats only having the ability to get their legislation through DC for only 6 years in the last 50 is confusing to you?

I don't have issues with Republicans generally, I actually liked our Republican governor (Rick Snyder who just came out for Biden), but unfortunatnly they really only have one perspective since they are almost entirely comprised (at the federal level) of Wealthy White Heterosexual Males. We need 100% of our nation to have as easy of a time to build their skills in life for America to be as successful as possible. It just sucks that the Democratic party is the only one that is doing that since the 70's. Because having 33% of the nation who do best when nobody else can catch up to their economic and governmental power has led to a lot of poor decisions.
So no, you are wrong.
I know. I just don't get why minorities can't make money under the same rules as all others. like immigrants seem to do great with the system why can't the city poors?

Because immigrants moving into our country have escaped childhood without the trauma of growing up in our cities that were abandoned by white people after WW2 when the interstate system opened up the suburbs and all the businesses and tax base moved to them?
Growing up in a 170 square mile area with over 2000 cops when a couple counties over has about 160 cops for almost 700 square miles makes it a lot tougher to not end up with a criminal record.
Underfunding schools (because there is no tax base) that were filled with lead pipes/paint, asbestos, and mold ends up hurting too many of our poor communities children further harming their ability to advance.
Overt and micro racist practices in the workplace further impacted too many people's ability to build enough generational wealth to help them catch up to the white people who were able to become landowners in the suburbs in the couple decades laws were put in place to stop the suppression.
and you're outraged at Trump that he didn't solve all of this in his first 3 years? I bet Biden was in office when asbestos and lead paint were still being installed. again you keep talking about the tax base yet you'll also say that liberals are well to do and live in the nice areas while the repubs are poors who get the majority of subsidies. which is it? The taxes are lower out here yet we get schools how come in the cities where no one wants to build houses because of high taxes they can't pay for their schools? maybe they spend too much money and aren't fiscally conservative like other areas? You just keep naming democrat controlled areas and saying they are bad because republicans who aren't there.

Where did you read that?
And Biden also is on the record saying that redlining was a problem because white men wouldn't let minorities move into their new suburbs. And you are wrong AF. Those buildings were built in the 1920's and prior in many of our cities. The suburbs were being developed post-ww2. Biden comes along in late 60's I believe.
You are just putting shit in my mouth projecting your own thoughts and pretending like I need to answer for it. Maybe you are just overstimulated now and are no longer reading shit right? Here you go, it was only 2 posts ago.
You are just trolling now. And just making shit up and ignoring other things that answered what you are trolling on about now.
I think your sock puppet is used up.
I think there are many more schools built after 1960's in use than there are from 1920's I also think you made that up just for the sake of arguing. I'm just saying he was in the oval office with Obama and the issues didn't get solved. They bailed out banks that benefited from the redlining but they didn't work on the issues that you are most concerned about. strange. also democrats could prioritize building schools but they don't they expect people from far away to pay for their neighborhood and how their policies are failures because of meany head republicans.

Obama had 2 years to fix the Republican mess of an economy and get his agenda done before the Republican astro-turf 'Tea Party' nonsense trolled their way into stopping everything Obama was trying to get done. And he still passed major banking reforms, passed the ACA which if not for the Republican govenors stopping their citizens from accessing it would have gotten us to universal health care insurance coverage.
And you are wrong. "Average building age is more than 60 years old". There are a lot of old ass building that are still being used. And I was more thinking about the buildings that I was in when I was in school, I know quite a few of the schools in Detroit are still in use.
If Obama wouldn't have 'bailed out the banks', we wouldn't have stopped the financial meltdown and millions of more people would have lost their homes and jobs. And we actually made money as the banks paid those 'bailouts' back with interest.
You really are pushing the Republican lies hard.
Obama actually tried to pass infrastructure bills, but the Republicans kept shooting them down, again you keep ignoring what I am actually saying, it is almost like you are trolling me.
it clearly says that detroit (democrat for decades) has 29 closed schools that are still their property. do you think those building might raise up the average age of their democrat properties? I do.

Likely you are correct. Does that change much for the people who were in those schools?
Do you actually think lead poisoning disappears? How many people in or cities are still suffering the consequences of the toxic waste that white men left in them as they fled to the suburbs?
yeah it's better when we put our factories in the 3rd world so we don't have to see the impact.Obama and Biden should have got them some schools and a hazmat team.

We've had 3 1/2 years of Trump. Manufacturing went into recession in the US in early 2019. Can't blame Obama, can't blame the virus. Face it, fool, Trump failed at all levels as prez.

The bank bail out was passed under Shrub. Obama adroitly managed the recovery from Shrub's recession. Trump inherited a healthy economy and tanked it.
lulz at the idea that he promised to bring back manufacturing jobs. Fail. What he did was trigger a recession in manufacturing. I bet you didn't even know because Fox News makes people more ignorant than if they didn't watch any news at all.

Manufacturing slumped in the three months ended in June for the second straight quarterly decline, the Federal Reserve said Tuesday.

I miss The Colbert Report. He was a lot funnier then, IMO.
Of course, with network talk shows you have to kiss a lot of guest’s asses, so that doesn’t help.

Yea, that show was a spoof of all the fox news shows. He was really good at the role he was playing. Not enough satire in the world.
