That would just cause rents to go up because landlords wouldn't have the security of the contract. You want rents to be even higher than they are now?

Rent is inherently predatory

No it's not. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's inherently predatory.

I have to move to a city for 6 months, should I have to buy a house and sell it during that time? I need to rent, it gives me the flexibility without having to shell out capital or get in debt to live.

As with everything, it can be bad, especially when the government restricts building of houses so much, but my buddy buying a house, fixing it up and renting it out isn't malicious.

What's your alternative to renting? Government owns all houses and gives them out for people to live in for free?

Rents are out of control, especially in big cities, but come on. Rent control, by all measures and by all historical policies, are terrible.

We've prevented criminals from voting for hundreds of years, how is that conservatives fault?

election denial

For the 4 years the left denied Trump won the election, then in 2020 when biden won, they claim that it was rock solid and there couldn't possibly be fraud?

pretty much everything Trump’s done

Trump was the first president in some 30+ years not to start a foreign military conflict. Are you pro-foreign military conflicts?

opposing education

Where did he oppose education?

financial irresponsibility

Our country is $30T in debt. Trump spent a lot, but if you want trash every president that has spent a lot, you have a long list.

disregard for the environment

What are you refering to?

some of these are debatable but do you actually like these things?

As you can see, just stating something doesn't make it true. Once again, Trump, just like every president, did some good things, and did some bad. Just like Obama, Just like Bush, just like Biden. You continuing to act like it's binary between being good and bad, and that republicans are all bad and democrats are all good is absurd.

Every time the economy crashes, it’s the result of republican fiscal policies of spend like crazy

Our last recession, the great recession, was mainly caused by clintons repeals of housing regulations.

Clinton repealed necessary regulations of the glass steagall act

Clinton force subprime loans in the name of equity

Sounds like you just have a bias and don't actually know anything about economics.

So other countries have socialized education, and they manage to have better results than our for-profit education system

What countries are you talking about, and how is our education system for profit?

and that somehow proves that our schools suck and should receive less funding,

No, our education system is majorly public, 90% of kids attend public school. Public schools are incredibly well funded, much better than any of our peer countries, yet our system sucks. So yeah, I want to rebuild it, or try different methods, because what the left is doing with the system isn't working.

even though our schools have corporations sucking most of the money out of the system?

What are you talking about? Based on the several inaccuracies of your 2 sentence comment, you are either malicious, confused or just incredibly unknowledgeable.

I was appreciative of the earnest discourse until the southern strategy was ignored and you showed your own bias.

Ahhh yes, please tell me more about how everything in history democrats have done were actually just republicans, because the parties switched or something.

Also, even though it does happen on both sides

So you lied your last comment?

The Senate already has disproportionate representation against the will of the populace because of rural states like the Dakotas, etc

Was it you that mentioned you aren't american? That makes sense why you would misunderstand it, the purpose of the senate is to have equal representation across ALL states. That was the agreement to create the union between the states. Senate is a fixed 2 seats, congress is based on population. Your misunderstanding of the three branches of government only shows your ignorance, it doesn't show a fault of the system

Then gerrymandering creates an unearned advantage in the house, and thus the electoral College, which puts all three branches in favor of conservatives.

How? It's a level playing field, just because you don't understand senate vs the house doesn't mean it's unfair. You should read up about the system of government.

Yes, both side are capable of the same evil, but our system does not reflect that potential equally.

Meaning that you just dislike one side and you think that they're evil? I'm sorry half the country thinks differently than you, but once again, that's not an inherent flaw of the system, it's actually a sign of a working system. That almost every election, we have close voting in congress and the presidency. It would be concerning if every election republicans got the trinity in the government or liberals did.

Meaning they're trying to ban tools from us, but can't define what tools. They also try to ban it solely for some people, and not others, such as government agents.

As a civil human being I simply believe that conservatives like you do not belong in civil society

It's funny that you're probably the first to call people fascists, but this is an objectively fascist view. People who aren't in your political party don't belong in civil society? Hahaha.

conservative incapable of purchasing property

Fascist.

being in public without a well informed and civil chaperone

Fascist

banned from serving in the armed forces

Because we don't share the same views as you? That's fascist.

Such a proposal is in line with rules conservative countries take towards 50% of their population, and thus it is only fair that we adopt mirror policies.

Which countries are you talking about?

Well it seems that they have a problem with the democratic party incorrectly using the term socialist. They have been for awhile, they call scandinavian countries socialist when they're not at all. If some democrats claim they're socialists, and run on a socialist platform, I'll call them socialist.

And socialist countries are far right to communist countries, that's why we don't compare our political parties internationally.

There are more socialists currently representing people from the democratic party than ever before, and the party is moving more socialist, those are facts. Are you arguing against that?

I'll need any source you can provide to back what you're saying up. Here is a list of socialists in office, and as you can see, there are more now than any point in history in the U.S.

For one you don’t have to look over your shoulder when holding your partner’s hand in public.

Is that a right?

You don’t have politicians calling you a pedo.

I'm a conservative asian in a very liberal city. I've been called every sort of name. Does that mean conservative asians don't have rights?

You could have married her at any point.

No, there was a time when interracial marriage was illegal.

You don’t have to worry about losing your job or housing for being queer depending on where you live.

That's illegal. Once again, you and I have the same rights, you're not proving your point at all.

You don’t have to worry about your kids being taken away from you because you’re gay and your state doesn’t think your kids are safe.

Where is this an issue?

I’m really surprised at how ignorant your gf is about que er issues. Are you sure she’s queer or did she just kiss a girl once.

Are you the lord of queers and you deem who is actually queer or not? She's very involved in the community, she just doesn't lie like you do.

"Tru.p state department appealed federal ruling recognizing the citizenship of a girl born to a gay couple.

Trump banned trans folks from serving in the army.

Trump remixes anti-discrimination protections from HHS.

Trump admin adopted regulation that gender is biological sex, it isn’t.

Trump blamed the Orlando Pulse shooting on radical Islam when it was a home grown mass murderer.

Trump SCOTUS noms are hostile to gay equality and advocate ridiculous religious liberty arguments.

Trump’s VP supported conversation therapy, which is torture.

Trump rescinded protections for gay workers, so they could be fired just for being gay.

Trump admin argued Civil Rights Act doesn’t protect queer people.

Trump fired the WH Office of National AIDS Policy. He also ignored the impact HIV/AIDS had on the LGBTQ community on World AIDS Day."

You listed all of these, but you can't name one single right that I have that you don't.

Just tell me one right, man. You keep beating around the bush and trying to dig up things you don't like. That doesn't mean someone is trying to take away your rights. It's really simple: List one right that I, a straight person, has that you don't.

You described what you thought of the Republican party, I responded to every single one of your accusations, and after that you haven't been able to back up your list of the evils republicans commit.

If you'd like to respectfully continue the discussion, I don't see why you wouldn't try to back up what you stated.

The Democratic Party is in no meaningful sense of the word becoming “socialist”.

They have self proclaimed socialists in office, and I have a self proclaimed communist on my city council.

You're saying that socialists in this country are fiction because they don't know about it? I'm confused your stance.

Cool. So your gf is queer. She can inform you.

I'm just asking you to back up your comments, it seems like you are incapable of it.

Lastly, Trump isn’t pro-gay marriage

He ran on a platform that included being pro-gay marriage. If you want to stick to your single issue voting record, you should've voted for trump back in 2016. See how quickly your 'logic' falls apart, when you actually learn about positions of candidates? Once again, if you know anyone that voted for obama in 08, you should cut them out of your life.

That’s anti-gay.

Sure, I don't support their platform. I can support candidates, though.

Voting for any Republican is anti-gay.

Nope, plenty of republicans are pro-gay. I just showed you, Obama was anti-gay marriage, and Trump was pro gay marriage.

Not sure how you can’t understand that.

I keep showing you how you're wrong, but you keep pearl clutching. You don't want to have an informed vote, you want to yell at one side, which is fine, but stop trying to act like you're so holy when you can't even tell me what rights you're trying to preserve.

You refuse to answer the most basic question of your stance: What right do I, an asian man, have that my queer girlfriend (or if you don't want to compare me to her, you can use yourself as you've identified as queer) has.

As you requested, I have asked my queer GF, and she says we have the same rights. So I'm curious about the gap of understanding between you and her. Please clarify, because as a result of your wishy washy statements, your changing views and your persistence of saying that you don't have the same rights (or the rights are under threat), despite providing no back up to that statement, is extremely confusing.

I'm not sure I've seen him express support for Trump.

What I have seen is him desiring to cut the presidential power, which is a weird move for a 'fascist' to try and limit their power...It seems like you're just throwing around the word 'fascist' towards people you don't like.

foggy

What makes him a fascist?

I'm doing it in these primaries. Why would I take a primary off?
