- ambicapter 4y agoWhat are your priorities?
- monero-xmr 4y agoMy priorities are not popular on HN. My username provides one, oil and gas is another, educational choice is yet another. Taxation is theft, etc. etc.
- thfuran 4y ago>Taxation is theft, I hope you refrain from using stolen property like roads, parks, and GPS.

- kortilla 4y agoWhy would you think that it is? Is that even considered intellectual discourse in your circles? “People I disagree with are fascists” is not a good position to take in a debate if you’re actually looking for a discussion.
- epgui 4y agoNormally I’d agree with you, but…
- revscat 4y agoYou can’t say you favor fascists and then get upset when called out for doing so.
- kortilla 4y agoNobody said they favored fascists. If you think “supporting republicans” == “supporting fascists”, you’re an uninformed idiot. It means you have never actually conversed with a centrist who has voted Republican or you have ignored literally everything they said.
- adolph 4y agoThe traditional example is the question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Whether the respondent answers yes or no, they will admit to having a wife and having beaten her at some time in the past. Thus, these facts are presupposed by the question . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question

- TexanFeller 4y ago> None of the priorities the modern republican party has are anything other than destructive, murderous, and frankly fascist. The Republican party has some yuuge problems and was bigly damaged by the orange president, but statements like you just made are almost always wrong and a sign that your news source is propaganda, not news.
- rnk 4y agoTheir two leading candidates to run on behalf of the party for president, have some very anti -democratic tendencies and goals. Taking away choice of reading certain books, avoiding discussions of the "slavery unpleasantries", or destroying federal institutions that stabilize our government, those actions are not going to help business in general, main Street or Wall Street. Democrats are very flawed in themselves but they're not trying to take away social security, Medicare. They went to slightly increase taxes on rich people to keep Medicare going. They want to invest in infrastructure. I just don't know what the Republican strategies are to help these things.
