What crimes have been taken up by Republicans?

@repubatheists the attack and burning of mosques, misogyny, racism, imprisoning children and separating them from their parents. Dismantling of environmental protections, destrying LGBT rights, and attacks on LGBT people and people of color. Gerry mandering. These are all crimes in my book.

@puppylov Every political party can be analyzed when it comes to those broad categories.

@repubatheists that's true but this is current. I'm not saying it's riGht on any side.

@puppylov Even currently this can be analyzed. I am a woman and I have been shouted down by many "left-leaning" Democrat men. Racism and religious attacks? Look at the affiliation between notorious racist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan with Barack Obama, Keith Ellison (deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee), Maxine Waters, the co-chairs of Women's March, etc. etc. What about conservative LGBT people who have reported being shunned by the LGBT community? There's a lot of skeletons in the closet.

@repubatheists It goes both ways. Each side makes attacks on the other side as far as I can see. The two party system sucks. The electorate college sucks. Nothing ever gets done and no one wants to come to center. People just continue to bitch and complain, me included sometimes, I'm trying to get off that train. And No ONE ever answers any questions directly. Just they did this and that and don't take responsibility for your own party fuck ups. Both sides suck as far as I can see. And mean while the American people reap the rewards.Unless you are the top 1%. So I will keep voting to my conscience and on issues that I agree with and it will business as usual.

@puppylov Whatever floats your boat.

That is the theory by the right. I don't want welfare. Everyone should work. It's pretty dammed hard to make it on minimum wage. It is poverty level. People should be helped out for a limited time, THEN KICKED OFF, and work like every one else. I have no respect for anyone that lives off the system. It's my taxes too. I work hard, always have and when I could get food stamps, I didn't . I was too dammed embarrassed. Trickle down economics did not work with Reagen and it won't work with this admin. If stock market and economy is happening because of Trump then woo hoo. But some of this is a continuation of Obama after George Bush destroyed everything. Go ahead, talk about how everything is wonderful because of GOP. Their main goal with Obama was to make him a one term pres. Not help the American people but play politics. I don't care which party does what right. I will vote for the right issues. Problem is they all LIE and change their minds when they get into office. Everyone is bought by lobbies and special interest and everything is about the almighty buck. But what still remains is Donald Trump is an embarrassment. Why couldn't you people at least come up with someone credible? I might have voted for him. And please don't start telling who Hillary is
It's all the same arguments and no one seems to know anything else.

It's issues

I just want equal opportunity and equal pay and health care. I don't relate to your labels and can't understand why this should be a problem.

@puppylov Have you lived in a country with those opportunities? Like Sweden?

@repubatheists nope. Sweden has the best health care and the lowest infant mortality rate in the world. Free healthcare, schooling, and pension. What's so wrong with that. I think they've made it work. Finland is number 1 in education year after year. What do we get, healthcare that you have to a fortune for. (Yes , Obama Care is not perfect. It needs to be FIXED, not detroyed.) And how about a few restrictions on how insurance and phaa can charge. We more for our services than social programs do and there are no guarantees. These countries don't much more in taxes than our middle class do. But they have everything paid for. And people get equal care. And why doesn't the rich taxes. Shouldn't they their share? They may create a few token minimum wage jobs and pocket the rest of billions. There is no equality, which always means more crime , drug abuse and poverty . The Republican party traditionally supports the wealthy corporations and to hell with everyone else. I've always worked hard as a nurse and now that I'm getting closer to retirement age I have to worry about my SS. Which Paul Ryan likes to call AN ENTITLEMENT. I PAID THAT HARD EARNED MONEY IN SO NO ITS NO ENTITLEMENT. they want to cut our ss and privatize so some other billionaire cane make more money. People say they don't want government, well with none there is zero accountability to these companies. When Congress people went to the border to inspect the prisions they were not required to let them in and they didn't. So how do we know those kids are not being thing abused because I sure as hell don't believe they tell the truth. It CYA all day long. And don't ya yhi think it's a conflict of interest that the feds are paying theseborisions billions to house these immigrants. I think it's just another ploy for Trump to make his constituents richer.

@puppylov I encourage you to live in Sweden before wishing its system on the United States.

@repubatheists why ?

@repubatheists I've heard good things about Canada

@puppylov Canadians are waiting forever to get basic treatments.

@puppylov Then go to Canada to see what you like and dislike. Education and healthcare are not the only systems of a country. I have been living in Sweden for nearly three years and have acknowledged it is not the utopia country that many Americans, such as yourself, think.

@repubatheists never did answer the what's wrong with Sweden's healthcare system question

@Airborne2142. that's what people say but I have spoken to several folks I know from there that say that us not true. It's hard to know what to believe because if so much faulty info out there. I also know someone who broken her arm while vacation there and she said there was no delay. (There wouldn't have been because of the nature of the injury.) and she said it cost her 100.00. I broke my index finger and with two surgeries and co pays it cost me 90k. I did have insurance but co pays still cost 10k. Seems to me that's just over the top.

@puppylov Sweden's healthcare system, like most universal healthcare systems, has long wait times and lack of selection. It can take months for a specialist see a child, or up to a year for an elderly person to receive a knee replacement. I know of someone in Sweden who retired early due to the long wait time for a knee replacement. Increasing numbers of Swedes are opting for private health insurance through their employers, or traveling to other countries for faster service. There have been record shortages of nurses and doctors in Sweden.

@repubatheists thanks for the info from someone who actually has had the experience instead of just mouthing rumors.

And name calling sounds real intelligent.

@puppylov You are right, name calling does not come off as intelligent. @trajan61

@DarrelScott Sorry about that. I just couldn’t help myself as the liberals do so much of it I figured a little name calling in retaliation was justified.

Opting out of responsibilities? Huh? Please explain. Perhaps you know more than me.

@DarrelScott oh, violence as in Charlottesville?

@DarrelScott not trolling. Just trying to have a conversation so I can understand your actions. Perhaps you can enlighten me rather then try to insult and call me names.thats pretty juvenile. Don't you think.?

@puppylov "So it begins: American college campuses are currently experiencing a collective freak-out over the impending Trump presidency. Professors and administrators have cancelled exams and sent messages of support to students feeling traumatized by the election results." [reason.com]

@repubatheists oh, for Christ sake. They need to grow up.
