Leftism doesn't believe these things.

  • People should be treated fairly - I suppose it could be debated what you mean "fairly" but affirmative action isn't fair, laws that benefit only certain races aren't fair, taxes on certain races isn't fair. None of this is fairness. I hope you're not so deep into leftism that you fail to realize that revenge racism isn't a good thing...
  • Paid fairly for their labor - This is a bit of a bait by the Democrat establishment to deceive young voters. We spike wages in the US so businesses can no longer compete. The businesses that are unable to complete outsource or close. Basically the Democrats believe that raising the wages in America while outsourcing goods to countries with slave labor will result in cheaper goods and more money left over. We should not be outsourcing American jobs to countries with slave labor. This is also a transfer of wealth from bottom to top. It brings the wages above minimum to the minimum while giving that money directly to the corporations that can afford to outsource. Why do you think the Democrats are in favor of free-trade agreements with China? They literally rely on slavery. Think about it.
  • Respected as human beings - I'm not sure what to take from this one but it seems more of a hyperbolic emotional statement than factual. I'm fine with races being treated equally but as I stated before race preferential hiring, schooling, laws... Revenge racism. All these things are not very respectful.
  • Huge companies should not hoard wealth - The left is the party of the wealthy nowadays. Even far left news companies have called this out. Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, Instagram, CBS, ABC, NPR, CNN, Washington Times, Nike, Apple, etc etc ... Are ALL left-wing companies. You ARE the party of the wealthy. Oh and Wall Street. Most conservatives are people that live in rural areas. Most liberals live in large cities.

"given two candidates of equal skill, the white candidate is more likely to get the job." - This is an impossible to prove statement.

I hoped you would be able to keep up and figure out what was meant. I suppose I will explain though. Yes, I just randomly used the word "Revenge racism" because that's what it is. It is based off of Ibram X. Kendi's explanation "The only cure for past discrimination is present discrimination. The only cure for present discrimination is future discrimination." This is using revenge as an equalizer. So yes, revenge racism. Revenge discrimination.

You are failing to really provide me with much so far. You attempted an insult, made an impossible to prove statement, and then said I need to explain more. Hmm..

I'm anti free-trade. I'm probably what you would call "A Republican" and I think the people we have in office are weak weasels. Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham for instance. Basically RINOs. I never brought up Trump and I don't really care what he does in his personal life or with his businesses. He pushed back on the Chinese slave labor, which was great for me. I'm glad you brought that argument up because this is what the left always defaults to. "If you don't have enough money, you have no businesses starting a company!" Do you not see the issue with that statement in itself? You are saying only wealthy people should be able to start businesses. Small businesses are the only path out of having corporate overlords. Small businesses like book stores are almost extinct because of policies like this. They'll have like 3 employees, take home 40k, and they get put out of business by Democrats and the business goes straight to Walmart. Your side is feeding business to the wealthy. If wages are too high and only rich people are allowed to start businesses... Where do you think it goes? Think ahead.

Again with the attempted insults. Why can't you people just have a conversation? I would say that argument along with the explanation had quite a lot of overused emotion, yeah. I mean.. You look at the cases. Tony Timpa. Justine Damond. People online said they deserved it too. So what does that mean? You should compare the news articles created for Justine and George. Last I checked, Justine was at 50 or something and George had 13,000.

No real argument given here. I am on the right and I don't like the Republicans, so how can you say "The Republicans are the right" ? You seem to have an inability to consider the other side of the argument. Look at all of the richest people in the country along with the richest corporations in the country. They're all on the left. How is that possible if you believe people should receive fair wages and CEOs shouldn't be gluttonously wealthy? The left, to me, is the party of a bunch of coastal elites that make unrealistic promises and claims to young people as they look on with stars in their eyes, but really they're just being fooled and exploited. You'll likely come to this realization one day as I have. I was a Democrat for many years. As the saying goes - "If you aren't a liberal when you're young, you have no heart, but if you aren't a middle-aged conservative, you have no head"
