Democratic party has turned its back on the working class

[Althea]

Sorry kid, you just made the list.

As was my intention. You saved me the trouble.

 

[Althea]

Yeah. Now they charge nothing. (tapping desk) I wonder how they can afford to stay in business?

Because you typically have to hold a brokerage account with them. You keep your cash in their money market account which they charge a very small fee for, as they pay you a pittance in interest.

While you're there, they typically hope you'll hold their own funds/etfs

 

[Althea]

Yeah. That was the gist of my OP. This ISN'T about Sanders. It's about which political policies will put Democrats in Office.

IMO, importing cheap Third World Labor ISN'T a Vote-getter. Pitting Third World Labor against American Labor only suppresses Wages. Great for Shareholders ... not so much for Americans that work with their hands.

I got some paperwork to do. Talk to you later, Althea.

'Importing' cheap labor is a talking point.

Our economy depends upon migrant workers in the fields, and in meat processing plants. If you want to demand American labor in every market, I'm with you.

But you cannot turn around and complain about vastly higher prices for food.

It's a delicate balance.

Now...illegals working at construction jobs has become an issue in the last two decades. If you want to crack down on this, then drop a dime on your local contractors.

I was asking Legion! Grr.. He has to put the 11/16 into decimals like the douchebag he is.

Only cabinetmakers read the small lines

 

[PostmodernProphet]

What has he done?


Accomplished?

to be fair, he did open up a huge divide within the Demmycrat Party.........I consider that his gift to the country.....

???......why?.....because you're a douchebag?....

 

[Matt Dillon]

???......why?.....because you're a douchebag?....

I may or may not be a douchebag................but it's:


Because he insists on converting fractions of inches to decimals. (which no one does in the real world)

 

[Legion]

Apparently ... they don't.

That's right, Jack.

Now, tell the forum why a political party about to enter a major election campaign would so obviously not give a fuck about what voters are thinking or what voters want.

Think really, really hard.

 

[Legion]

Importing' cheap labor is a talking point.

Is that so?

 

[Legion]

I'll take that as a yes. You're an incel who is obsessed with masturbation.

Matt came up with a great resource for dealing with leftist swine.

Pick a number.

ProgSkidMark R.O.E.:

1. Demand a link or an explanation of the truth they are objecting to.

2. Promptly reject all explanations as right wing lies. Smoke spin deflect.

3. Ignore any facts presented.

3a. Play dumb and keep others wasting their time trying to enlighten you.

4. Ridicule spelling and typos, punctuation.

5. Attack the person as being juvenile, ie: "are you 12 years old", question their education, intelligence, Age.

6. Employ misdirection.

6a. smear people.

6b. attack religion.

6c. attack your rationality.

7. Lie, make false assumptions.

8. Play race/gender card/misogynist card.

9. Play gay/lesbian card.

10. Play the Nazi/Fascist/bigot card.

11. Make up stuff/So you got nothing?

12. Deny constantly.

13. Reword and repeat.

14. Pretending not to understand, playing ignorant/what did I lie about.

15. When losing, resort to personal attacks.

16. Russia.

17. Fox News/Alex Jones/Brietbart/infowars/Stormfront/Gateway/hannity/OAN.

19. Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump.

^A very valid point.

PS: Legion, the way that works is you highlight which one they are doing at the time.

I've been dealing with it for decades. Others have, too.

It's hard for 3 Americans to compete against 8 illegals.

I know. That's why I advised him to "pick a number".

Seems legit.

I know. But the thought of Democrats actively 'importing' illegals to do cheap roofing work is absurd.

If you don't like the competition, then report the contractors.

Even though the illegals are as dumb as a box of rocks, they work harder and longer than any American worker. Especially those union guys we hear so much about in this thread.
