Watch out, your projection is showing - you're the one blaming others for the failings of your political ideals. Obviously companies will move manufacturing to where it is cheap and if you're the politician that changed the rules to allow them to leave, you're (Republicans) the one responsible for it.

Fox News has demonstrated that facts are infinitely malleable in the service of one's political agenda.

You will see the same line of logic as MTY85 with regards to come of the financial repeals too - Well it was BILL CLINTON who signed the repeal of Glass Steagal, stupid liberal! Sometimes I feel like the concept of compromise is so dead to these right wingers that they can't comprehend Democrats actually doing it in…

In 25 years they'll be saying it was the Democrats who thought dumping huge amounts of undocumented corporate money into the political arena via Citizen's United was a bright idea.

Of course he is - when a Democrat president and a Republican Congress pass bad legislation, it's the sitting presidents that gets credit, even when it's a blatantly Republican idea. When a Republican is president and Congress is Democratic, it's Congresses fault. That way they never have to admit they were wrong on any…

Detroits problems were started by Republicans. If the manufacturing hadn't left, the city would be in much better shape. It left because of Republican free trade treaties. That is literally the fault of the Repubs, like it or not. Just because you have an ignorant disconnect from reality and facts doesn't mean I'm…

Are you really saying that NAFTA was a liberal, Democratic Party endeavour?

Well I'm glad to know the Republicans had no hand in it.

Hey, no one held a gun to the automaker's heads and forced them to move, they did so of their own selfish choosing so they could squeeze even more profits out of the cars. Americans wouldn't want to pay more, and the big 3 didn't want to make less profit than humanly possible, the politicians gave everyone what they…

Who was the president that presided over the bulk of NAFTA negotiations? You know, the one that tried to fast track the whole thing so he would get credit for it but ran out of time at the end of his only pathetically bad term?

Considering that it was Republican sponsored free trade agreements that paved the way for manufacturing to go abroad, Republicans that resist programs to bolster education and safety nets in impoverished areas, and the general Conservative disgust at black people in general that helped put Detroit where it is, maybe…

It's a normal reaction to "Despise what you cannot have", like in the 48 Laws of Power. It helps people feel better.

I don't disagree with any of this! I just thought it was weird to say "a cheeseburger is all youcan get," when I can't imagine that's true anywhere.

I am so sick of seeing this argument that heating healthy is expensive, a pack of frozen vegetables is like $1-$3 and that can easily be filling with some rice which is super cheap. I know (from personal experience) that a McDonald's "value" meal will run you at least $5-7 per person. Let's be real here and say that…

Push-ups and running are free and healthy meals don't have to be expensive. We're pretty broke and buy chicken for stir-fry at $1.50lb and it comes out to less than a dollar per meal. I never took cooking classes, or attended fitness school. That knowledge is self-taught. There are no excuses for being unhealthy.

I don't understand how "healthy" is considered expensive. All it takes is eating basic staples and avoiding all the processed junk and packaged stuff. Staples like beans, rice, oats, pasta, tins of tuna can keep a person alive. You don't even need to own a fridge to keep that stuff. I've even been able to body build…

One in three americans is too poor to afford to eat properly?

It's okay— someone will crap on any field you're in!

NO. STOP. STFU. I'm biracial, you wanna know the most offensive, hurtful thing someone has ever told me? It wasn't someone calling me a nigger, uncle tom, uppity, 'oh she think she's white', mulatto, oreo, 'high yellah', or any other variation of a racial epithet; no it was some clueless, white SJ warrior earnestly…
