I had a lefty friend tell me

[SHRED]

That the Democrats really want this Tax Bill secretly and that they are glad they didn't have to vote for it.

Should I send them to JPR?

[Sanity Claws]

1. Remove his alleged "lefty" credentials

and tell him he is now a full-fledged member of the lunatic fringe.

[SHRED]

9. Many issues line up though

Anti corporatist.
Very Democratic Socialist.
Environmentalist.
Etc.

[Aristus]

2. Is he left-handed?

Because his politics are not to the left...

[SHRED]

6. She

[Orrex]

11. You're friends with Susan Sarandon?

[Judi Lynn]

7. Exactly. Someone's trying to attack leftists at a Democratic website. Odd. n/t

[TheDebbieDee]

10. YES! Very odd... Hmmmmm.

[NCTraveler]

3. We need to get serious about education.

Decades of failure have left generations ignorant.

[Hortensis]

8. Used to think that. First wake-up 20 years ago was watching two brand new high school

grads, tall, pretty, healthy girls admit neither had any idea how many senators California sent to congress. They'd been taught that in elementary school, junior high and high school. The latest, of course, is the almost insane degree of partisan dishonesty on the right. Wish we could get our investment in their schooling back.

Somehow we have to teach people respect for truth, but I now believe electric shock aversion therapy would work far, far better for some than education.

[TheDebbieDee]

13. We need to start referring to education as

an INVESTMENT in our young people's futures so to counter RWNJs argument that public education costs too much $...

It takes $ to make ANY investment so educating our young folks will cost $...

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. Cannibals.

What makes them hate and break on their own kind? I don’t get it.

[Hortensis]

5. Straight to JPR. As long as he doesn't join his like here pretending "concern" for a party

they will despise no matter what we do.

[Joe941]

12. I don't believe democrats really want the tax bill, however...

can we be intellectually honest? This is a tax cut for most people (not all admittedly, but most). Saying it is not a tax cut hurts our credibility with anyone who just looks at the details of the new plan(s) and compares it with the existing tax code. Saying it doesn't make it so.
