很久以前的一个朋友，Facebook上贴了骂Trump的，我就回了一些walkaway campaign 的帖子。反正来来回回debate了一阵。最后回了David Letterman 的10 reason to vote Democrat, 然后她回复：
this finally crosses the line now. It’s inappropriate to keep using extreme ideology or sarcasm to draw a conclusion around other people’s positions and belief. You know better than this- “marrying a German shepherd”- this is a bad quote to add to this discussion thread. US is one of the most vibrant economy, with the best talents all over the world. At the wealth and prosperity has reached certain level, the country is evolving into a better society. In the big pictures you described, it’s not a simple versus, it’s not a binary choice. So Ciao.
这是我之前的comment：
I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. I focus on the big picture: capitalism vs. socialism; law and order vs. anarchism; self-sufficient vs. welfare state and self-entitlement. Here is something from 10 years ago but still very much applies:
David Letterman's Top 10 Reasons to vote Democrat
#10. I vote Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my German Shepherd.
#9. I vote Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon at 15% isn’t.
#8. I vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
#7. I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
#6. I vote Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves. I am also thankful that we have a 911 service that gets police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.
#5. I vote Democrat because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy.
#4. I vote Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away Social Security from those who paid into it.
#3. I vote Democrat because I believe that businesses should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrat Party sees fit.
#2. I vote Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.
#1. And, the #1 reason I vote Democrat is because I think it's better to pay $billions$ for oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher, or fish here in America. We don't care about the beetles, gophers, or fish in those other countries.
我觉得很好笑，German Shepherd crosses the line! 我回了句no wonder we are barely friends. I don’t hang out with people with no sense of humour. That’s the end of it.
