American Politics: Trump's Rocky Time in the Rockies

[The BLS Coin Collectors Club]

No, you do not have to be a fundie to be Christian. But right now Dominionism is rife among Republicans in government at both state and federal level, so any 'Christian Democracy' in the US at the current time would rapidly become 'Dominionist Theocracy'. One could argue we're already about 90% of the way there anyway.

Do you people know what Christian Democracy means?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_democracy I'm talking about this.

I am well aware; I'm originally from the UK (although currently resident in the US) so I'm familiar with European style Christian democracy. What I'm saying is that it would rapidly be taken over by Dominionists in the US, simply because they constitute a large portion of the political leadership in one of the country's two major parties. In order to institute a European-style Christian democracy without the risk of that happening, a massive overhaul would be needed of the entire US political system, including a near total rewrite of the Constitution.

Mate, if you don't understand the concept of what I'm talking about, I don't know how much I can help you tbh. Look, just...try reading about the US political system.

Funny how you accuse me of not reading then ignoring what I say, and also misrepresenting what I mean.

I don't know what you mean, can you elaborate?

You don't need to rewrite the constitution, I don't remember any country rewriting the constitution when a new ideology appears. Especially because Christian democractic proposals, such as labor rights or banning abortion, already have some strenght in the US.

Although the electoral college does need to go.

Port, come on now, I was asking you to elaborate in your own words. Don't you know that you need to demonstrate an understanding of what you're trying to propose before I can take you seriously?

I would continue the conversation, but then again you said that you don't care if I'm referring to something European. So this will be my final reply.

I'm talking about European-style Christian Democracy (Which you should have no problem with since you want to bring European-style Democratic Socialism to the US), so in a few terms: A social market economy (Capitalism with welfare and regulations) influenced by distributism (economic doctrine which promotes economic decentralization while preserving private property) to reduce the corporate culture in the US, which was what we were originally talking about.

Republicans to meet allies of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán on ending Ukraine aid

Once again, the Republican Party and the European far-right are the greatest threat to Ukraine's existence besides Russia. The 2022 US elections weren't good enough in their results to stop this. There have also been several elections in European countries that are discouraging.

*bangs the sign called "providing aide and comfort to the enemies of the United States" yet again*

Do you have any reason to think that would actually get anywhere in America? Do you think that it would remain the same in America?

So does the Republican Party.

bro I said that because you were attacking religion for no reason. you can't just spend a few posts telling me I should read and then demonstrate that you don't understand what I'm saying

One of us certainly doesn't understand. At least that much is true?

BTW reading will help.

[Tarsonis]

Maybe Carverton should focus on becoming an American citizen first, before thinking he has a say in what political ideologjes the US should adopt.

And he is supposedly from Colombia, so I kind of doubt he is telling us the truth about his location.

True. I actually live in France

Well? We kind of think we have a say in what political ideologues other countries should adopt…..

[Celritannia]

That makes no sense lmao. You accused the supporters of my proposal to be fundamentalists from the beginning, when I was talking about European-style Christian democracy.

Also, you actually knew what fundamentalists believed in, you would know they tend to support neoliberalism which is the opposite of what I'm proposing. It seems like it's you that doesn't know what they believe in.

European style tends to have a Westminster style parliament involved though. That would require a massive change in the structure of the US political system.

Parliamentary systems, not Westminster systems.

[Cannot think of a name]

Don’t ignore Ramaswamy’s 'great replacement' rant

Vivek parroting a conspiracy theory that could get him killed or family members of his killed if too many people start believing it. Real smart vivek.

Reminds me of this Onion headline from "Our Dumb Century".

[Urine Town]

Trump refuses to show up at New York fraud trial

Do you believe there are meaningful impacts of this decision or is it just another daily update that has little meaning in how the future will hold out for Trump?
