personally this is really dumb. this is the equivalent of monkey poo flinging and why people are getting fed up with both political parties. it be nice if the GOP can actually focus on stuff to help americans, like fixing our infrastructure, bringing our troops home from overseas, massive healthcare reform, minimum wage increases, pass the second coronavirus stimulus to help people pay their rent, etc rather than focusing on nonsense like this.

Fixed that for you. The Dems pass stuff all the time. The GOP blocks stuff all the time.

Further, they(congress), should do a thorough back ground check on every current member. If any of them had ancestors that participated in slavery.... fucking throw them out!

[Citizen T]

If the left wants to make everyone else change any name connected to the Confederacy or Slavery, then surely the Democrat party name should be changed since it was the party to support slavery and segregation.

Don't argue that things have changed. Things have changed for all the others as well.

Give us an example of something the Democratic Party wants to change today, that no longer stands for racism, that used to in the past.

Otherwise, it's pretty clear you've missed the entire point.

Sadly people will fall for this stuff. If I was a Democrat I would have immediately gave the House a history lesson on the two parties and the GOPs 'Southern Strategy' to put an end to that nonsense.

Ant that's the trouble with the GOP - they have no interest in facts, reality, or history - and are essentially on a scorched earth campaign. This bill being introduced by [some dipshit GOP Rep] is a perfect example.

Was someone trying to take the "dumbest member of Congress" title from him?

That already happened. They changed their name to "Republican."

Reading comprehension helps. I said leftists not Democrat (not Democratic) party. Although I can see where they can confused.

Your example: Princeton University. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/27/n...ow-wilson.html

And yet, the right is embracing white supremacy and ethno-nationalism... and you voted for it.

great job of just attacking once you lost the debate. I gave your example and you refute it with attacks

Woodrow Wilson didnt change his views and work to correct them, so not sure how you feel thats a good example
and if you open with a backhanded attack like "Reading comprehension helps." dont complain if someone responds to it with hostility.

[lockedout]

Sounds about right, rename both parties.

Careful. If they did that, then regressive idiots with a shitty grasp of history won't have any poorly thought out slavery criticisms to throw at the Dems.

So you saying that Princeton University is pro racism?

I just entered. The right is embracing those things, and they (along with you) support Trump.

What do you have to say for yourself?

[Citizen T]

The debate in this thread is about the democrat party. You are deflecting because you know that it was the party of slavery and jim crow.

As to how I feel about myself, I feel fine about myself. I know what I believe and having ohers call me names doesn't bother me.

And now... the GOP is the party of racism.

What party do you support?

Important word there being "was". They made a concerted effort to completely shift away from that, and have spent decades condemning those views and disavowing any continuation of the like.

As I've said before I'm a Constitutionalist.
.
I don't like the Republican party much but I despise the Democrat party.

I do see that you aren't defending the Democrat party which is what the thread is about, but you can only attack the Republican. It sucks when the logic is against you doesn't it?

That doesn't matter. The left is trying eradicate all things that are attached to that bygone era. The Democrat Party name is one of those things.

And you are a Trump supporter, you support a fascist.

I'd say you are lying. Now, the only real issues, is whether you are lying to me, or to yourself.

It does suck that everyone already knows these things about you, doesn't it? It's a shame you voted for the party that embraces racism and fascism.

Why are republicans talking about democrat party being racist, when Trump by accident, posted a supporter screaming “white power”?
