The Political Thread

[Deezy]

Well I mean, I did say in that post people vote for the letter not the person… so I mean I basically said that?

I know, I was reinforcing your point with a more descriptive example.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Didn't you just say in this thread you never vote for someone with an R behind their name?

Does that mean you blindly vote Democrat?

Read it again. I said I wouldn’t vote for one who doesn’t believe in women's rights. If one was a moderate, and believed in a womens right to choose, and the dem they was against hadn’t got shit done and went against promises, I would strongly consider it, and read up on the Republican.

@Deezy are you actually saying you dont think extreme christians didnt vote for trump???? thats his biggest base and he had pastors essentially calling him god's messenger. I have to ask, did you even think before saying that?

 

[Dakstang]

so if the constitution - was legally changed the way you want them too. And it said "All Men must sucketh the mightiest of penis - at least once week" - and it was passed by federal law or amended how you feel. You wouldn't have any issue?

Welp, you got me there I guess!



But in all seriousness, it was made very difficult to pass a law or amend the Constitution for a reason. Checks and balances folks. Checks and balances.

Oh. My bad.

 

[Comrade Khan]

like breh, almost all pro life christians voted for trump twice what the actual heck is going here lol

 

[Deezy]

oh then I guess you're lying to yourself, no one is having a meltdown here pal.

and regarding your whole liberals should just try harder...you do realize you're implying that liberals should bend the rules, refuse to follow due process and basically lower themselves to the level of what the GOP did. You see the problem with that is that people who lean left and vote these people, expect the people the elect to play by the rules and do things the right way. what your suggestion is power grabs and more extreme division. that hasn't really made the world better at all now has it? Why is it up the left side to do this? Why can't the right take responsibly for their more extreme compatriots and reign them in so that its actually possible to compromise and live in a productive society? I don't think its fair at all to pass the buck that way at all and just ignore the fact that the GOP has been acting insane and catering to religious extremist for over a decade now. the answer isnt more god damn extremism !!!!! you gusy tell me all the time im too extreme, so how can you sit here and say more extremism and power grabbing is the super easy answer....makes little to sense to me , good sir!

Politics is a game you play to win....fairness is a fallacy and being naive to that is why they win.....even though they don't even represent HALF the populations views on anything.

Evangelicals: Trump's anti-abortion base – DW – 10/06/2020

Evangelicals make up one of the most important voting blocs in the upcoming US election and a growing number are young anti-abortion activists. Why does rejecting abortion matter more to them than any other issue?

That's the exact opposite of what I said.

I said they voted for him, but not because they like him.

You honestly think the people in charge of the pro-life movement actually believe the shit they say at his rally's?

But would you support it or not - because if you wouldn't support it - would your previous just show self interest rather than defending an old piece of paper?

Dw - I already know you think all gay people should go to hell, I won't be triggered by that viewpoint

 

[Comrade Khan]

It was all over the news during the elections as well, I'm not sure where you got this idea that pro lifers weren't overwhelmingly in support of trump. evangelicals leaders literally spoke out in support of him last election. please do try to be more accurate with such statement in the future as its dangerous to spread such misinformation

 

[Hidden Blaze]

They are some who voted for Trump who actually do like him however. My aunt, uncle, and cousin actually like the mother fucker, and didn’t vote for him just because of the opponent.

Depends on what you're talking about?

This is why the French Monarchy was so great. They got a king or queen in, and they didn't like off to guillotine for them and then they put a new person and repeat the process. True power to the people
