On the key issues facing the US, what's the difference?  The two key issues facing all nations today are immigration & free trade.  Both parties want immigration.  Dems want votes and GOP wants cheap labor, and because of this, they must have free trade to get access to cheaper raw consumer goods.  Trump has hijacked the Republican Party to oppose these positions, but in reality, the majority of the GOP is in lock step with the Old Guard.  There are social wedge issues, but on the biggest two challlenges, there's a consenus, a consenus I vehemently oppose.

Google is trying to bury the story.  They don't even list the article I linked to in the post above. Use DuckDuckGo.

It's not so much about political parties, but about the people. Using the UK Labour Party as an example, it was the ubber cheap membership fees that brought Corbyn into power.    He would never have come to power without the dole scum communists that now make up the bulk of the Labour Party.  Without these people, we'd still have the Blairite Labour Party where it was cool to be rich. A lot of this leftist hate filled crap is being taught in schools and universities as mandatory courses. We have "ethics" professors wearing masks and smashing at least 11 people over the head with his bike lock and slinking back into the crowd. We have a 6th-grade teacher indoctrinating her students into "By Any Means Necessary" which usually means violence.  We have a black lesbian professor threatening violence against white professors if they don't obey the non-white students.  Everything at Evergreen College, basically.  Portland University ran anti-white courses that were funded by student tuition.  An officially sanctioned "white people go around" event that forced white students to walk through a creek to get to class, which had police there to enforce it. Feminism is a total lie and the media, political parties and whatnot constantly push that lies, despite all the proof debunking it.  The UK has countless examples of gender inequality against men, but nothing is ever said about it, while made up shit about anti-women is constantly spewed.  In the UK, feminist are pushing a petition to put back the vaginal retirement age to 60 and put the working credits back to 17 years, which includes stay at home moms.  How the fuck is that about gender equality?! UK police are pandering to feminists and their fake rape claims, by hiding evidence that proves the man is innocent.  How many men have this happened to and how long has it been going on?!  To increase the conviction rates for rapes, the police (and probably the Crown Prosecution) has been hiding evidence that proves men are innocent. It's just as shitty as 40+ years of hiding muslim rape gangs in the UK for fear of being called racist.    Who cares about the nearly 6,000 young white girls who were victims of this (that we know about so far), as long as the muslims are happy. BTW, I think you are new to this section, so I'll make my declaration again.  I am a classic liberal and I despise this modern liberalism. ++++ All political parties are shit, but they have differing reasons for it.

It seems the butt hurt left are back to their old antics.    They downvote everything their "enemies" say without having the balls to add to the conversation.

Switzerland is the most heavily armed nation, and yet has practically no homicides.  Same can be said of Japan, in which they are disarmed.  On Australia, the data is inconclusive, as their experiment is in the relative youthful stages of long term data.  Australia has seen a spike in violent crime recently, but I would refrain from using them for comparison purposes until there's at least ten more year worth of data to draw from. However, in the United States, the problems are much more complex.  Do you live on a rural ranch in New Mexico near the US-Mexican border where cartels are as heavily armed in many cases as the US military?  Do you live on a rural farm in Kentucky where your neighbors maybe in high end meth production in a county with literally just a couple of law enforcement officers available?  The problem is trying to narrow down the problems of such a vast country into a few simple statements. Truth is the law already prohibits the mentally ill & felons from legally purchasing guns.  However, the loopholes are astounding because the money was never invested to get all 50 state to use the same database.  Then, with state by state HIPPA laws, mental health professionals are too afraid of being sued by their patients to do the due dilligence on what is needed, and in other states, felons are often granted full rights back so that they can vote, which in some states include gun rights.  There's alot to unpackage to have real reform. @brianboru72: Speaking as someone on the outside looking in- I do understand the need for gun ownership for protection and hunting purposes. However, it really feels like it has been taken to an extreme level and needs to be reined in. For instance- would assault rifles and automatic weapons really be needed for hunting or self-defense? And as for mental illness- as much as I see your point about responsible, medicated gun owners who have minor mental illness, as a point of public safety, I personally would feel better with stricter restrictions. In the end, the statistics speak for themselves. Places like Australia and Japan have proven that limiting gun ownership leads to a big drop in gun related deaths and shootings. So really it becomes a question of what is more important- the lives of potential future victims, or the freedom to carry.

Something a bit genocidal is brewing there..

Again, a lot of words and nothing on the actual topic. I guess the left love the idea of the Labour Party having all these uneducated, man-hating, white-hating vaginalists being in charge. What next, Pablo Escobar as Drug Czar?  Al Capone as to run the alcohol and tax regulator bodies?

I veiw leftists as nazis/fascists. The left are actively trying to close down free speech they don't like while covering thier faces and setting occupied buildings on fire like we saw at Berkley. The left think only they have a right to free speech and that includes covering thier faces and busting people over the heads with bike locks and then thier side helps them escape into the crowd. The left believe it's ok to punch a woman in the face, if they don't like her opinions, but it's not ok if they like her opinion. The left believe it's ok for a woman to punch a man, but then get all chivalrous when the girl is hit back, as long as she's also a leftist. The left think that women can act with total impunity, as long as they are leftists.  If they aren't leftist, then stomp them out. Feminists always fight against any gender equality that doesn't give them special privilege; ie retirment age, sex crime laws, domestic violence laws and countless other things.

Tucker Carlson did a pretty good video on it, as he always does. ++++ CNN and the rest of the mainstream media refused to cover the Chicago kidnapping until the story got too big.  Once they did start covering it, we heard shit like "that aint no hate crime" and countless other shit to justify away 4 blacks doing it to an autistic white male. ++++ Do you mean like how Scotand's First Minister is a feminist women who promised gender equality and there still isn't a prostate concer screening program? Like how it's illegal to circumcise girls, but perfectly legal to mutilate boys.  Oddly, though not surprisingly, they used data on mutilating human boys to justify banning tail docking and ear cropping animals.

I wouldn't have any "bad days" if the left didn't exist. The left are telling white people to stop breeding so the other people can have more stuff, but that's not racist. The left keep screaming about "patriarchy" and "toxic masculinity" while an opressed woman is allowed to be convicted 18 times for physical assault, with the last time "glassing" a guy in the face, and she hasn't been sent to prison for any of it. I complain about the extremely barbaric meat trade in many countries, only to be called racist by vegans who justify certain cultures meat eating while demonizing me for meat in a place with strict anti cruelty laws in the animal slaughter.  Twitter and facebook have some wonderful videos of these people preparing their food, that shows how they are better than westerners. The left if extremely guilty of racism by low expectations for non-whites and their extreme hatred of whites.

It would be best if you did a post with your stance and let people reply. I'm an omnivore. I don't have an issue with eating meat as long as it's not abusive, like with the dog/cat meat industry in the far east and elsewhere.  Then again, 2nd and 3rd world countries are extremely barbaric when it comes to their meat industries.

Let's not ignore how sexist and racist BuzzFeed is.

@Shami94: "It's the left that claims the moral high ground but needs to hide their faces." Do you mean like the KKK? I'm glad you made the comparison. Finally, you leftists are figuring it out.

@raphjd: @aadam101: I see you have pretty much chased away other posters on this forum.  Good job.  You are a real asset to GTRU. I think most of the left are running scared because they can't honestly defend their crap any longer. I mean, you guys claim that anyone can be any kind of trans they want to be, then when a 38yo man claims to be a trans 9yo boy who fucked some 6yo and 8yo girls, you guys won't defend his claims of being trans. You guys spout "feminist equality" then get butthurt when a guy punishes a girl back after she repeatedly hits him. Of course, there's every feminist thing the left says.   It's all bullshit and crackhead mental gymnastics. The left made up lies about me and others to get us banned from the site.   Funny how that only went one way. I wonder about the future.  On the republican side of things.. President Trump is about as moderate as a Republican gets.  There was even a huge revolt amongst conservatives that said Trump is not conservative enough.  So, what happens when a conservative gets elected?  On the other side of things… what happens when a liberal gets in office that isn't given a free pass because they are black or female?  They will get torn to pieces. The way things are supposed to work is that the country will function properly whether the president is a democrat or republican, and whether the congress is democrat or republican.  That idea is quaint these days.  Now.. it doesn't matter who is in power.  Election campaigns start the day after one election completes.  Blame a LOT of this on Hillary who never really conceded defeat - and has blamed everyone imaginable for her defeat.  The one that gets me the most is the claim that Comey cost her the election.  Quite wrong.  Comey was under enormous pressure to do his job, and if he did, Hillary would have never have been the democratic candidate, she would be up on charges, disbarred, and very possibly be in jail.  Comey did everything possible to allow Hillary to continue her campaign.
