When you left, where did you go?
I was a Republican, then a Libertarian, but I find I do not land comfortably within either party. I am a classical liberal, but there is no party like that, so I do not currently have a home.
You?
Well...I may regret getting involved in this thread because I quickly tire of political discussions, but regardless. I know you and I disagree on various things around politics/economics, but I am in the same boat. I am very much unrepresented. Neither Democrat nor Republican represent me, especially these far left and far right assholes. I consider myself a "Liberal Libertarian" which is somewhat self-contradictory and I can't think of a single person who represents my values in full.
They are both despicable organizations who serve mainly their special interest groups and themselves, not caring how it affects the people. Personally, I think the Dems care a little more about "The People", but I think they are mislead in how their policies will affect the world. Such as: taking away our guns or making big government oversight even bigger. They can go fuck themselves. This new fucking
IRS bank account snooping proposal which is just blatant government overreach. They do NOT need to know every single thing I buy at any given time. Plus it will disproportionately hurt poorer people and people who work cash jobs like service industry folks. It is just a fucking ridiculous idea and I hope it gets shot down...but I digress.
I really, truly, honestly wish we could get rid of this retarded 2-party system and have an equal footing for 4, 5, even 6 parties. Give the people
options and
variety. That is probably why ~100 million people didn't vote in 2016, both Trump and Hillary were fucking disgusting options. That's also why over 80 million people didn't vote in 2020, which had the best voter turnout ever. People are so disillusioned with the system and how inefficient it is that they just sit it out. I don't remember the last time the person I voted for in the primary actually got through to run on the presidential ticket. The DNC or RNC always fucking fucks it up and picks the most puppet-like, controllable, corrupt asshole on the list.
If I claim that Joe Biden is secretly a member of the lizard race, for example, it’s up to me to prove that he is; it’s not up to him to prove that he isn’t because I’m the one making the claim. Likewise, without definitive evidence that the election was fraudulent, there’s no reason to believe that it was and thus no need to “prove” its legitimacy.
Dude, there is SO much proof of this already. Check THIS out:
Boom. Proof obtained. Based off this 100% non-edited image I believe the majority of Americans will see Biden IS indeed a lizard...and Kamala is a fucking gigantic alien preying mantis from Enceladus . Though I don't have a picture of her in her natural form yet, but will keep hunting and hope to get one soon... XD
I totally agree with you though. People just believe stuff because some authoritative figure repeats it over and over for months. It is a well-known psychological tactic, but it doesn't make it That is pathetic. The reason the cookie crumbled the way it did is because there was no fucking proof of any "rigging" going on.
I don't like it, but I respect it as thier opinions that they've made clear. It's understandable because trump is a very unlikable person. He's brash, loud, boastful and a bit narcissistic. I can let those faults go and give it a pass if he upholds the policies I like. But I get that not everyone can.
You on the other hand seem to acknowledge the toxicity of the modern left, amd the corruption of the entrenched establishment, but also hate Donald Trump, the only person in a generation to openly challenge it. You don't make any sense to me. I'm curious as to what you're getting at. You seem like you would oppose Donald Trump if he tried to burn out the establishment, but at the same time you accuse him of being inept because he didn't?
Can you explain?
You also should add that he was a complete failure of a president. He did a horrible job, neglected his job duties, ran a skeleton crew of a cabinet and refused to appoint various positions that were truly needed to lead different subsets of agencies and organizations. He surrounded himself with yes-men that only served to inflate his ego. He truly did not have any idea how to function within government, especially at a national level--which is not surprising. His mental illness of narcissism truly got in the way of him fulfilling his duties. He vacationed more than any other president (which Republicans used to criticize Obama for, and Trump took WAAY more vacations than Obama--spending taxpayer money at his own resorts too).
Bernie Sanders also challenged the establishment. So did Andrew Yang. Andrew Yang, while I didn't agree with everything he said, had some very, very good ideas, and he was young and ambitious. I think he would have made a great president given good guidance within his cabinet. WAY better than Trump or Biden. He was a true creative problem solver, unlike either of them.
The DNC tried to sue Arizona to prevent the audit.
Other states face the same situation.
If everything was legitimate, why would the DNC fight the audits, when it would vindicate them?
The GOP would have done the same thing in the DNCs shoes. It's just a matter of "look we won, it's settled, don't fuck with us". Super, super common on both sides. There really isn't any room for criticism here. You can even see right here where they did the same thin in 2016 when Trump won and the DNC ordered recounts:
What's the GOP fighting for in trying to kill the recounts? Donald Trump's massive but fragile ego
So the same question: if it really is legit, why would the GOP fight it? It is just because they can, and that's politics. If nothing else it is a play to cast doubt into the minds of their supporters and make it seem like they are fighting against the "enemy".
Yes trump came through and saved us, the non-stop surveillance by the 3 letter agencies has stopped, the 9/11 info got declassified and of course he didn't give any favored positions to family because he was above that
This cracked me up, thank you for adding some humor to an otherwise humorless, stressful thread. I try to avoid these political threads but sometimes I get sucked in and can't help but respond...ugh....
Happy Hump Day y'all!
