I thought MAGA made these stipulations based off of race.

But hey, thanks for the compliment. Nice hat.

Hey Benji look it's your party and the supposed third option

If libertarian party were smart they'd use the vaccine mandates and economic conservatism as an olive branch towards black Americans to help build their party. Instead they do this. Thank God you don't have to be a part of the LP to be libertarian.

shosta got his op-ed published in the local rag:
If California is ever going to achieve true equity, the state must require parents to give away their children.

Today’s Californians often hold up equity — the idea of a just society completely free from bias — as our greatest value. Gov. Gavin Newsom says he makes decisions through “an equity lens.” Institutions from dance ensembles to tech companies have publicly pledged themselves to equity, along with diversity and inclusion.

But their promises of newly equitable systems are no match for the power of parents.

Fathers and mothers with greater wealth, education or other resources are more likely to transfer these advantages to their children, compounding privilege over generations. As a result, children of less advantaged parents face an uphill struggle, social mobility has stalled and democracy has been corrupted. More Californians are giving up on the dream; a recent Public Policy Institute of California poll found declining belief in the notion that you can get ahead through hard work.

My solution is simple, and while we wait for the legislation to pass, we can act now: The rich should give their children to the poor, and the poor should give their children to the rich. Homeowners might swap children with their homeless neighbors.

Now, I recognize that some naysayers, hopelessly attached to their privilege, will dismiss such a policy as ghastly, even totalitarian. But my proposal is quite modest, a fusion of traditional philosophy and today’s most common political obsessions.
Quote
Perhaps such coercion sounds dystopian. But just imagine the solidarity that universal orphanhood would create. Wouldn’t children, raised in one system, find it easier to collaborate on climate change and other global problems?

Now, I don’t expect universal support for universal orphanhood. A few contrarians, lost in the empty chasm between American extremes, might object to this rational proposal on emotional grounds. They might argue that pursuing your own conception of family is fundamental to freedom. Or that our differences and biases, for all the damage they can do, also give human life much of its meaning.

They also may suggest that people don’t really want to start or finish at the same point in life. They may even say that what we really desire is what the title orphan of the musical “Annie” insisted upon: “I didn’t want to be just another orphan, Mr. Warbucks. I wanted to believe I was special.”

But you shouldn’t pay those critics any mind. Because they just can’t see how our relentless pursuit of equity might birth a brave new world.

For Himu:
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) announced Tuesday that she has raised $21.6 million since launching her gubernatorial campaign in mid-August, a hefty haul establishing her as the front-runner in the race’s Democratic primary.

Hochul’s campaign said it is going forward with $21.3 million in the bank and touted its five-month haul as “record-setting.” The campaign also drew donations from every one of New York’s 62 counties.

The fundraising haul underscores Hochul’s edge in the primary, which pits her against New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Rep. Thomas Suozzi, who represents a district in Long Island. Already, her campaign prowess is believed to have helped nudge state Attorney General Letitia James (D) out of the race and kept New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) on the sidelines.

Williams and Suozzi have not yet publicly disclosed their fundraising, but an adviser for Suozzi told The New York Times that he had taken in more than $3 million since launching his campaign in November and transferred another $2 million from his congressional campaign account.
ALBANY – Gov. Kathy Hochul’s lead in the Democratic primary for governor of New York has grown to over 30 points beyond her nearest challenger now that state Attorney General Letitia James has dropped out of the race, according to a new poll released Tuesday.

New York’s first female governor captured the support of 46 percent of Democratic voters when asked in a Siena College survey who they would vote for if the primary election – scheduled for June 2022 – was held today.

That places her 34 points ahead of second place challenger, former Mayor Bill de Blasio – who hasn’t even officially announced his candidacy. He netted 12 percent in response to the same question.

New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams received 11 percent, followed by Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi, trailing with six percent.
Quote
Meanwhile, Hochul’s biggest support demographic comes from upstate, with 65 percent of primary voters backing her campaign.

Not one challenger – de Blasio, Williams or Suozzi – broke double digits in upstate.
Quote
The governor’s favorability among all voters stands at 45 percent compared to 29 percent of voters who have an unfavorable opinion of her and 25 percent who said they either don’t know or have no opinion.

It’s even higher among Democrats – 60 percent view her favorably, compared to 19 percent who said they have an unfavorable opinion of her.

Most people here like being by ourselves until the government tells us what to do. Perfect opportunity to sway some here, some some there. And upstate does sound like a plan in the future.

Most are tired of Democratic failures. Look at the Chinese community. They're sick of Democratic dog shit and the only way to show the Chinese-Americans they have power is by showing them how to flex it: by telling the D's to suck their cock and earn it. Republicans should sway the Chinese like how Republicans managed to capture Cuban Americans after the Elian Gonzales fiasco. Cuban Americans in Florida flipped from to R and helped Bush win the Presidency. Since there's a similar racial controversy with the Chinese and Asian community in NY it's perfect time to strike.

STRIKE FIRST!

In the last election many Chinese surprisingly voted for the Republican candidate. That's a good weak spot to start with.

Another weak spot is black Americans, particularly black Muslims. Almost every black Muslim New Yorker I know is swinging right. I just have to convince them enough to go that road rather than acquiesce from voting entirely. They're already sick of the Democratic Party and the mandates. Republicans need to find a way to make amends with the American Muslim community. If we can convince Republicans that we are allies against the dysfunction and degeneracy that is liberalism, there is a chance. Unfortunately that's not likely as Republicans tend to be Islamphobic and utter fools in the opportunity they're missing in a potential Abrahamic alliance. What is more likely is convincing people to flip R by showing Republicans have closer views to our traditional values than the Democrats. The great thing is many vote R anyways since not all black Muslims are Black American but instead are Caribbean or African and trend more conservative.

Ok so keep track of how many people you manage to sway from dem to republican in this city

Dem to Republican? I don't have to. There's enough disenfranchised voters that hate both. I just have to convince them to hate the D's a little more. The majority of voters are Independent. Getting dems to flip? You guys have too much Democratic cock up your mouth to do that.

Cuban Americans have always been more Republican, they prefer it because it's more anti-Communist in rhetoric. They didn't switch parties because of Eilan, they've been trending more D this century. Florida was mostly a GOP state at the Presidential level since Eisenhower, yet Obama won it both times in part because Cuban Americans voted for him.

Thanks for the clarification. I knew Cubans were majority R but after Gonzales I thought trended that way even more.

I can't/won't dispute the polling in that piece that Cuban Americans may have bounced back to the Republicans after shifting towards Clinton in 1996 (and then as the piece notes they still favored Dole) because of Eilan, I'm just saying that Cuban Americans were always pretty Republican before that. The second wave of Cuban immigration from the island is what shifted them to being even competitive in the first place, before that they were far far more Republican. (Although much smaller in number.) Florida was also a pretty Republican state for President outside of the Cuban Americans, Nixon got like 70% of the vote and Reagan got 65% of the vote for example.

This century, Cuban Americans liked W. and Obama and apparently Trump too. But then so did lots of Americans. I wouldn't chalk their difference from the rest of the Latinx being due to lingering effects of Eilan but due to being more middle class, something they've pretty much been since the 1950's even if the accusations that they're all the old rich from the island are demonstrably not true.

Low hanging fruit. That's all you got? Patetico. Unlike you I actually live in USA and I actually live in NY. You don't live in America. If you did, I'd consider your opinion with some salt. But you don't. You're some non-American in an American thread judging Americans a place you likely have never been, which is a figment of your imagination, which you think you're better than. Who cares what you think? How does America impact you on your day to day life. It's not real lol just close the thread nicca. Instead you're invested in some far away land you don't live on and our politics and our people and what affects us. Big mad.

My point isn't this century. My point is a case of taking advantage of Democrats' weaknesses on key issues and attacking when the moment is hot. Since they have so many blind spots, especially in NY, there's many, many places to attack. It's scrumptious. Since the Democrats identify themselves by their...identities....lol...it's easy to catch a few strays that feel left behind by the big Democratic tent. Since the Democratic tent is so big with so many conflicting interests you can swoop in and grab who feels left aside to show them there's another way. Since Cubans swung to R with Elian, it's a great test case of taking group vulnerability in which Democrats are not satisfactorily addressing, and striking while it's hot. So admit that Cubans did flip because of Elian. So you agree. Zehahaha.

But Cuban Americans were already Republican-leaning swing voters, they were primed to already vote Republican and only needed an extra reason to swing harder. Black voters will probably only vote in single digits for Republicans unless Biden does something like repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in order to block people from eating at the Olive Garden in Times Square and even then Republicans would probably ignore the Black vote.

More Florida leadership on the pressing issues:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A bill pushed by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that would prohibit public schools and private businesses from making white people feel “discomfort” when they teach students or train employees about discrimination in the nation’s past received its first approval Tuesday.

The Senate Education Committee approved the bill that takes aim at critical race theory — though it doesn’t mention it explicitly — on party lines, with Republicans in favor and Democrats opposed.

Democrats argued the bill isn’t needed, would lead to frivolous lawsuits and said it would amount to censorship in schools. They asked, without success, for real-life examples of teachers or businesses telling students or employees that they are racist because of their race.

“This bill’s not for Blacks, this bill was not for any other race. This was directed to make whites not feel bad about what happened years ago,” said state Sen. Shevrin Jones, who is Black. “At no point did anyone say white people should be held responsible for what happened, but what I would ask my white counterparts is, are you an enabler of what happened or are you going to say we must talk about history?”
Quote
The bill reads in part, “An individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, does not bear responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex. An individual should not be made to feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race.”

The bill is called “Individual Freedom.” Republican Sen. Manny Diaz, its sponsor, said it is not about ignoring the “dark” parts of American history, but rather ensuring that people are not blamed for sins of the past.

“No individual is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously, solely by the virtue of his or her race or sex,” Garcia said. “No race is inherently superior to another race.”

Jones said DeSantis is playing to his conservative base by pushing the legislation, but wouldn’t go so far as to say DeSantis himself is racist.

“The governor will continue to go across the country with his racist rhetoric on critical race theory ... It’s a problem that doesn’t exist,” Jones said. “I think the governor’s policies that he continues to push are racist.”

Kukuku...see? This is what Democratic party thinks of us, its voters. They think of us as plebians. Vassals. Puppets. They shit and stir and sloth and when turmoil hits they blame us rather than their pitiful paltry party leadership. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe liberalism *does* work but the Democratic Party is the one selling it.

Here you go Himu:
The Democrats’ problems with Hispanic voters are, at this point, well-known and well-documented. But what of Asian voters, the other fast-growing part of the nonwhite population? A close look at political trends suggests that here too a problem could be emerging.

A wonderful chance to meet wonderful allies who see that they too are nothing but puppets for the Democratic elitist structure, who see the failures of identitarian quackery, progressive policy, and a deification of the homeless at the expense of personal and communal liberty. After half a century of failed promises, lack of action, bad governance, and overall bad politics the black community humbly submits our grievance and allyship with the Asian American and Latino communities. Let's all ditch em at once so that they finally know the score and who truly has power. If we shift the GOP and make it the new home for minorities and base our support not on the whims of identity but the fruits of virtue and morals and values, we can reshape this country in our own making. Opportunity knocks at our door and she begs us,"come hither".

Since 2016 the Democratic Party has learned nothing. Just more finger wagging from progressive phaggots. On and on with endless moral outrage when they have no moral guideline to begin with and shame you for not thinking exactly like them. For all their faults, libertarians are the open-minded people liberals always claimed to be.

Republicans should sway the Chinese
I don't think the Republican line on China is achieving this.

China is China. They left for a reason. They're now proud Americans, unlike Potato. China can get fucked.

You seem to think with a identitarian glitz as if identity rules the world. Identity is nice, but you know what's nicer? Opportunity. Who gives a fuck if Republicans are wah wah about China if they have policies that benefit Chinese-Americans. What solutions do you have to help Chinese-Americans? Oh. That's right. Only their identity matters to you as is the typical progressive guideline.

Low hanging fruit. That's all you got? Patetico. Unlike you I actually live in USA and I actually live in NY. You don't live in America. If you did, I'd consider your opinion with some salt. But you don't. You're some non-American in an American thread judging Americans a place you likely have never been, which is a figment of your imagination, which you think you're better than. Who cares what you think?

LOL. I've visited there three times, including New York twice. My partner has family in Chicago and San Francisco. I've also extensively visited Central America and Europe and Asia. How many places your ignorant arse been, huh?

Who cares what you think? How does America impact you on your day to day life. It's not real lol just close the thread nicca. Instead you're invested in some far away land you don't live on and our politics and our people and what affects us. Big mad.

You really are that fucking dumb, huh?

How long until you drop this heel turn and go along some other manic detour?

Oh wow. You've visited. Whoopee doo. And this gives you expertise to speak on my country as if I give a fuck. Just like you don't give a fuck when I call your country a bunch of authoritarians.

Diaspora don't generally hate their home country, and they probably don't like it when a nontrivial amount of politicians in their new country Other them by complaining about them invading the universities,  make up stories about biological warfare, and start beating a war drum because their country can suddenly make good cell phones.

It doesn't really change shit. Voters are still voting Republican. An entire Chinese district flipped from D to R last election in NYC. You again mistake identity for real life. Federal Republican sayings have nothing to do with local issues which are impacted by Democratic negligence.
