  • First off, the 1956 Republican party is not the same as the modern GOP. You conveniently chose the time immediately before the schism that essentially reversed the two parties.

    If anyone wants to argue about this, I suggest you read about Strom Thurmond. Perhaps the most vile, openly racist politician of the 20th century US. Thurmond was a lifelong Democrat, until the party started supporting civil rights.

    That’s when he and his fellow Dixiecrats (racist Southern Democrats) moved to the Republican party. You’re highlighting their platform from immediately before the influx of racist shit heads.

    Second, nobody classifies North Korea as that, except for North Korea. That doesn’t mean that we cannot label it accurately.

    Third, Hitler never claimed to be a Marxist, nor have I ever seen anyone make that claim. I’ve seen the “hurr durr Nazis are socialist because it’s in the name,” but there’s a distinction between socialism and Marxism.

    Fourth, the logic of the Bloomberg thing isn’t sound. “Almost as if he were a green” as if wanting less cars is completely unique to the Green party. Not how logic works.














  • Well I’m sorry that you don’t understand case law, but that’s exactly how it works in situations like this.

    Who’s gonna dispute that a contract is a contract?

    Nobody now, because that’s a precedent that’s already been set. In a court.

    Something that has not happened for the situation we’re talking about.

    Edit: to be clear, it’s not necessarily true that nobody would dispute that actually. There are likely numerous cases regarding identifying the validity of a contract on the books, which is how we know exactly what one is.

    If someone were to come up with an interesting enough situation that warrants a new case, then that outcome would be added to the list of cases that define what a contract is (do a Google search, there are already a whole bunch like that).

    That’s literally how the court system works.
