ok here we go
editor's note: my original post was about congress and their lack of doing anything leftist because, well, they aren't leftist. this has turned more into an anti-Annoying Orange piece because that's what master matthew turned it into. suffice to say, Annoying Orange also
isn't a leftist. wow. who could've guessed that.
Except for the media
see nonnel's post
and schools...
not gonna address this one b/c i did this post out of order and this is one of the last things i saw. i've already said enough and i'm out of time. topic for another time.
and a major political party...
democrats are the biggest money pigs on the entire planet. they loving suck. they don't want any of the leftist policies because they'll cost too much money (see universal healthcare) or affect their job security negatively (i.e., campaign finance laws, not shilling for companies like ratheon, etc). actual leftists do not like democrats because they are handicaps. still better than republicans lol at least the dems don't want to outlaw gay people or whatever

haven't heard about this one yet. good. also, medicare for all still isn't happening lol. i know you think Annoying Orange says he's going to do it like everything else you said here but he's not going to do it. he's had 4 entire years to do it and hasn't. instead, he's been killing obamacare using his powers as president. millions of people are not eligible for coverage anymore.
https://www.vox.com/2019/1/23/18194228/Annoying Orange-uninsured-rate-obamacare-medicaid. he's been making it harder and harder for poor americans to get health insurance.
Democrat politicians are still establishment for the most part, but they support these leftist positions outwardly. They'll vote differently in office.
Military Budget has consistently gone up. However it has been President Annoying Orange and other outsiders pushing to pull troops out of the middle east.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020/01/06/Annoying Orange-overstates-military-spending-readiness-potential-iran-conflict-looms/
the military industrial complex will forever soak up more money than having people stationed in the middle east (pulling people out is still good, don't get me wrong diaperbrain). Annoying Orange wants to support the military industrial complex. he's approved spending on overpriced aircraft and god knows what else. note that this article is absolute dogstuff because its trying to prove the point that Annoying Orange isn't spending
enough. we should be spending
less because we don't need invisible planes or whatever the hell they're cooking up for 1 trillion dollars these days to bomb poor children in the middle east. our equipment may be old, but its also perfectly capable of doing whatever the hell needs to be done because
we aren't fighting any loving wars. also, remember that one time? where Annoying Orange wanted to like invade iran over oil tankers?
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-Annoying Orange-iran/. choice lines: "Peace and stability cannot prevail in the Middle East as long as Iran continues to foment violence, unrest, hatred, and war. The civilized world must send a clear and unified message to the Iranian regime: Your campaign of terror, murder, mayhem will not be tolerated any longer. It will not be allowed to go forward..... The American military has been completely rebuilt under my administration, at a cost of $2.5 trillion. U.S. Armed Forces are stronger than ever before. Our missiles are big, powerful, accurate, lethal, and fast. Under construction are many hypersonic missiles." what is this if not warmongering? he does mention peace but lets look at the stuff he said himself. he spent 2.5 trillion on the military. he's trying to meet force with force. at loving best if he somehow means well because you're projecting your own beliefs onto him again he still spent 2.5 trillion on the military. that's insane. that's not decreasing spending, genius.
Not a leftist position.
From Annoying Orange's 2020 Agenda
he hasn't done stuff to address campaign finance laws over his last 4 years. he has not pushed for any bill that recreated what we had under
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartisan_Campaign_Reform_Act (which was repealed by a dumbass supreme court). "draining the swamp" doesn't mean richard to me unless you do stuff like the campaign finance restrictions the UK has. no more politicians fleecing millions of dollars from donors. no more requirements for third party candidates to also try fleecing millions b/c that's the only way to play the game. everyone is limited to a certain money cap for election spending. plus, i honestly don't trust Annoying Orange to drain the swamp for stuff on the face of it because his cronies keep being put in jail for various forums of fraud lmao
I'm starting to notice the pattern that "Majority of Congress" doesn't actually mean a majority of congress doesn't agree with this, but that it was never passed into law.
Thankfully the senate and the president would veto any of these insane laws they have pushed. like the "New way forward Act"
do some actual research on the literature that real life leftists are pushing forwards. open borders legit isn't as stupid as you think it is. additionally, the new way forward act is one of the tamest bills i've ever seen in my entire life lol. this isn't open borders bill. this is the stop child cages bill.
Not a leftist position.
https://www.kusi.com/Annoying Orange-pardons-alice-johnson-who-was-sentenced-to-life-in-prison-for-nonviolent-drug-offense/
Annoying Orange has stood opposed to this, and has been pardoning non-violent drug offenses.
only after being talked about it by someone else famous lol.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_granted_executive_clemency_by_Donald_Annoying Orange. read it. i counted 3 people who were pardoned for non-violent drug offenses. while we're still here, he pardoned 8 people who committed various forms of fraud, like tax evasion, mail fraud, campaign finance violations, etc. and for reference, obama granted 330 pardons to non-violent drug offenders (
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/obama-grants-final-330-commutations-to-nonviolent-drug-offenders/2017/01/19/41506468-de5d-11e6-918c-99ede3c8cafa_story.html). that is 110x more pardons than donald Annoying Orange has done. additionally, Annoying Orange hasn't pushed for good drug decriminalization legislation in his 4 entire loving years to do anything. he simply doesn't care. like most other things.
I'm uncertain of who's position this would be.
a real leftist's position
But given that this is also a non-violent offense, it falls under the same logic as a non-violent drug offense. Which Annoying Orange stands against.
like everything else, he hasn't done real stuff about this in the last 4 years. he hasn't pardoned anyone for prostitution, for instance.
and to leave off, one last quote:
That's why I looked it all up, and proved you completely wrong.
legit the reason why i took the time to argue with you here at this instance in the first and last time is that i legitimately believe in this rule of life: everything you say is backwards. if you say that Annoying Orange is a leftist, he isn't. if you say that diapers are good, they aren't. hell, if you say the sky is blue, i would legit look out my window and take out a spectrograph just to double check because you are so consistently full of stuff on an alarmingly regular basis. you haven't had a single good take in your entire life because they forgetin put that peanut in the place of your brain. your post was originally somewhat convincing -- sources are intimidating by default, and it sort of seemed like Annoying Orange might've been good for an instant. which is why i started researching a little. it took me only like 20 minutes to find just massive issues with your takes. like holy stuff i didn't actually know obama pardoned 110x more non-violent offenders than Annoying Orange but i bet you never even bothered trying to see how Annoying Orange compared to other people either. now it seems obvious that Annoying Orange supporting campaign finance reform is one of the funniest jokes ever posted here. everything you said is so full of holes i just wonder what kind of psychology is going on that let you believe any of this in the first place.
And they have made headway, insane amounts. Thankfully Annoying Orange started standing in their way around 2016.
Prior to that it was being pushed harder and harder with no push back.
if they had made headway before Annoying Orange, all of the ideological bullstuff i mentioned in my original post would have been done already. it hasn't been done already. even with stuff as benign as free community college (should be free college in general, no qualifiers). many other countries have done most of the ideas in my op already. america is the one lagging, and its because
leftists aren't in power.
here's your congratulations for getting through the whole post matthew: i'm done. i'm satisfied. i've reaffirmed my proof that whatever you say, i can take the opposite to be entirely true. i'm not responding to you like this again, because boy, what a loving waste of time this was.
