The Democratic Party is anti-anything that benefits Americans. Period.

And establishment Republicans are go-along, get-along. Period.

At the same time, you have millions of voting Americans who are unemployed, and more all the time as ever-more jobs which were done in America are sent to every other country in the entire world.

GOP you are an elected party.

Your voters work. Start supporting American jobs. Not foreign companies, but companies who are hiring right here in America.

Bring back American jobs.

GOP you are supposed to be looking out for us.

You missed the most critical point about the strawberry harvester story. Those jobs are never coming back. Even if all of those foreign countries disappeared tomorrow and we had to produce all of those things here in the U.S., there wouldn't be anyone working in those factories because the workers have been displaced by robots.

As time has moved on, we have simply priced humans out of more and more jobs. I don't know what the answer is, but complaining about it isn't going to help.

The democratic party is pro-union boss and union hierarchy, and BOTH of those organizations are anti-worker.

It has always been anti labor and pro union, pro big corporations and big Finance. That’s where the money is.

Democrat policy is the systematic opposition to anything that makes the individual American less dependent on government.

Studies show there are three things you can do that will almost guarantee you will never live in poverty: (1) finish high school, (2) get a full time job and (3) get married, but wait until you are 21 and don’t have children until you are married.

While true, this confuses correlation with causation.

IOW, the type of people who do these three things are likely to not be poor for a host of reasons that aren't directly related.

Conversely, the type of people who don't do these three things are the type who are likely to become poor.

I’m happy to have a conversation with you about this, but “bullcrap” — followed by nothing of substance — doesn’t tell me anything.

Here is what I object to in what you wrote:

“Those jobs are never coming back. Even if all of those foreign countries disappeared tomorrow and we had to produce all of those things here in the U.S., there wouldn’t be anyone working in those factories because the workers have been displaced by robots.”

And I repeat. Bullcrap.

America needs to bring back jobs, right here to America.

GOP needs to bring back jobs, to America.

I’m sorry I used strong language, but that is exactly how I feel about what you said.

I feel it is nonsense. We can have discussions for a year, without end, and it will not change the fact that what you said is pure fantasy.

Bring back American jobs.

Bring them back to America, and GOP stand up for your voters, the American people.

We always get to the same point in this conversation, don't we?

How many Americans have you hired in the last ten years?

That is the absolute key to democrat policy.

The cry “Bring back American jobs” rings hollow when the economic structure for those jobs no longer exists. The problem faced by industry especially in major American cities is an inability to find workers who are trained and motivated. Countless good paying jobs are unfilled in Baltimore because no one is applying for them.
Motivated workers have little difficulty finding work. Unemployment compensation, disability, and a multitude of welfare programs all require the recipient to be unemployed. I know countless unskilled people who could not conceivably earn more than they receive in government benefits.

The Democrat party is nothing more than a criminalized front group that has sold their vote to the communists in exchange for free access to the treasury.
