Van Jones: "Donald Trump is smarter than all of us"

[Jalether]

How is underfunding urban schools not a push to making the country less educated?

You ignored the key word , poor ghettos

It's a feature of capitalism, poor areas pay less taxes and donor money and as a result receives less funding. it's no different than how big businesses receive significantly more state/government protection and priority than small businesses. it's crony capitalism that the country prides itself in

Democrats are not actively pushing to gut public education though, republicans are

Every urban area has a poor ghetto, it's Americana. You specific blamed the Dems your previous post now you are blaming capitalism. Which is it?

Trump isn’t smart.

He’s charismatic and plays on bigoted White folks fear with his dog whistle rhetoric.

He’s definitely not a dummy in the way he communicates with people, but we are not about to sit up here and act like he’s some political savant either.

A perfect example of how trumnp won the election can be taken from majority of union workers voting for him
when He has explicitly said He was anti union and the Biden administration has been objectively one of the most pro union administration
in history. That has nothing to do with smarts. people are just dumb and racist

The DNC didn't invite the teamsters President to the convention because the Republicans invited him to speak and he did.

Harris to meet with Teamsters, but union president isn't invited to speak at Democratic convention

Teamsters union members will host Vice President Kamala Harris for a roundtable discussion in the near future.

I leave it to you to decide who made the smart and dumb decision in your example.

Trump admin made it clear they want more MAGA friendly people on cable news, and Van don’t want to be out here like Roland Martin or Tiffany Cross. This is what happens when you have no morals or belief system, it’s just entertainment. What he says isn’t to be taken seriously

Democrats are a shambles, crying on Tik Tok, while the left is engaging in community organizing

You know that's the same thing right?

 

[Seoul Gleou]

You know that's the same thing right?

Brother, I have some news for you....

So you're saying he was referring to republicans when he said the left?

 

[Seoul Gleou]

So you're saying he was referring to republicans when he said the left?

I'm saying that left is not the same thing as Democrats. There are left Green Party voters, left Independents, even Left Libertarians.

In most of the world, Democrats would be considered right wing. But America is so conservative that they are considered left here

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

You know that's the same thing right?

If you think the Democrats are the left…

And we were talking about America in this thread right?



@Nkrumah Was Right


Enlighten me. When you said the left in your post, who were you referring to?

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

And we were talking about America in this thread right?

Do you agree or do you not agree that he made a mistake in his post?

The Democrats are not even left in America and they will tell you that!

Me: Are Democrats and the Left the same thing?

AI:

Not exactly. While the Democratic Party in the United States is generally considered part of the political left, the terms "Democrats" and "the left" are not interchangeable because they refer to different concepts:

The Democratic Party:​

• A specific political party in the U.S.
• Represents a broad coalition of centrist, liberal, and progressive voters.
• Policies tend to support government involvement in healthcare, education, and social welfare, environmental protection, and civil rights.
• Includes moderates and centrists who may not align with more radical left-wing ideologies.

The Left:​

• Refers to a broader ideological spectrum that advocates for equality, social justice, and often significant systemic change.
• Includes a wide range of political ideologies, from moderate progressivism to socialism and communism.
• Many "leftists" view the Democratic Party as too centrist or insufficiently progressive, particularly on issues like wealth inequality, climate change, and foreign policy.

Overlap and Distinctions:​

• Overlap: Many Democrats support progressive causes, such as raising the minimum wage, expanding healthcare access, and protecting LGBTQ+ rights, which align with "leftist" priorities.
• Distinction: Some on "the left" critique the Democratic Party for being too aligned with corporate interests or unwilling to push for transformative policies like universal healthcare (Medicare for All) or abolishing student debt.

In summary, while most Democrats fall within the broader "left" spectrum in American politics, the left is more diverse and can include people and movements that are more radical than the Democratic mainstream.

Since you think my opinion is wrong; argue with AI.

Nothing wrong with acknowledging your enemy is smart.

Thats what’s wrong with most. Assuming that because someone is on the opposite side of the fence as you, that that means they’re dumb or low IQ. No wonder yall get blindsided so much


By the way in Malcolm X own autobiography he called the white man highly intelligent

People gotta realize, Trump team is smart. Them dudes are extremely bright.

Yes you can in the united states, Bush jr already proved this

The US has millions of dumb and illiterate mofo, there's a reason why the school's systems have failed for decades, why millions of working class
white folks don't have a degree and why the country has the repuation which it earned from the absolute lack of knowledge and intelligence they display in pop quizzes and about the world outside the US

No disrespect but I really hope you don't define intelligence by academic accomplishments. I voted Kamala and I will say not respecting his game is exactly why she got her ass kicked by epic proportions.
