I'd love to see a viable third party anything, but that ain't happening this year. Maybe the Republicans will officially split in half after all of this.
tbh, the primaries were pretty exciting to watch on both sides, I haven't seen something like that before in my life at least.
Was that your first primary?
I don't think the Berner movement has the juice to split off on its own, fwiw. No moreso than the Hillary '08 movement did. It might look like it does from the inside? Different competing factions inside of the dem. party are as old as the party, it's only ever been a coalition of often-contradictory progressive interests.
The far left mostly serves to keep shit from getting done. We could have had universal basic income under fucking Nixon if they didn't flounce and slam the door shut over it not being enough money.
I tone down how much I actually like her, due to the fact that I enjoy walking down the streets death-threat free. But, with that said, I'll still engage in popular discussion because it pleases me to do so. When it comes down to the wire, I know she'll win and I have faith that everyone will come around in their own way eventually. Or they'll move to Canada, iunno.Quote:

Same as it ever was.

If this had been posted outside the debate, there would be a part of me still tempted to vote for Trump just to see the self-righteous tears floweth like the Ganges on November 9th.
Luckily, there's no way this was posited outside the debate, because TNL has assured me that the Campus SJW Thing is a phony alt-right fabrication that totally doesn't exist.
We got a mentally challenged Oompa Loompa on top of the GOP ticket. Every major media outlet and HRfuckingC is reporting on our Frog God.Quote:

Who ever assured you of that? It's clearly a thing, and it's clearly kind of silly. That sign's budget is about the extent of it.Quote:

You cannot overestimate passion.
Barack got it, the GOP ran scared shitless, ignored the passion around old, but radical Ron Paul, put in a moderate but passionless, once defeated 8 years prior, McCain and lost.
Romney was a repeat.
This cycle Trump is Obama, wrangling up all the hope & change passion, with no substance at a greater magnitude... and the DNC is tossing out the old, but radical Bernie Sanders who captured all the passion, and puts in a moderate but passionless, once defeated 8 years prior, Hillary Clinton ...and just like the GOP did, they will lose.
Unless the fire dies out around Trump with a coke-up blow-out like Howard Dean had in '04, which judging by 4chan's reaction, the debate was. Two more of those turn offs and the alt-right will not vote. And that loss of passion is what loses elections.
But for now, grab a beer and praise KEK.
LOL
Whatever goofy reaction to clip Dean out in '04 does not exist anymore. Trump has said far worse for more than a year and nothing has happened.Quote:

Bernie was suppose to be a clown socialist. Trump is a clown asshole.
Everyone could vote for Trump and she will still win. No one is giving Trump electoral votes.
Really? I don't know about you guys, but I knew she was going to be president at least 4 years ago. I don't know why any of you think you have a choice in it
Hillary Clinton is The Nothing to Donald's Meme Magic.

Have the laws most states have compelling their electors to follow the popular vote in their state (and thus defeating the entire purpose of the electoral college) ever been challenged before the Supreme Court?Quote:

lol the uranium thing never quite stuck, did it?
Trump's serial preference for independent contractors over large corporations specifically for their inability to sue for nonpayment, however... that seems to be sticking.
April 2015? Don't hold your breath.
also: read the corrections at the end of the article. ;)
Oh thank goodness, that makes it all better.
I like how you didn't post that when it favored Trump less than a week ago.
According to the John Oliver piece, the uranium deal required several other people's affirmation for it to go through. Maybe they were all paid off? Regardless, at worst it would be politics as usual.
I can't believe I just read that phrase.Quote:

Milo isn't alt-right. They don't like him. They see him as an apologist who waters down their message of white nationalism. And they disapprove of his homo lifestyle.Quote:

It's incredibly weird to me that liberals can't seem to get a foothold in talk radio, and conservatives can't seem to get a foothold in "be funny and mostly truthful."
I don't know anyone outside of the internet who has any interest in the news being funny. I don't think it's that weird. Also, talk radio works well during a commute in your car, which also isn't that weird.

2. I also didn't say Democrats don't own cars. They do, however, tend to live in places with public transportation.
If I gauged interest on people I personally know, my world outlook would be very insulated.
I thought you were going for the poor/welfare state with the car thing. Yet even in the world of public transportation, things such as personal radios/streaming devices exist.

See this is what makes SJWs conservative and the Alt-Right liberals. It's also Trumps greatest weakness. He pisses people off like a troll, but he also lacks the humor of a troll (unless he's pulling nth degree chess).Quote:

Glenn Beck, imo, is far too liberal to be alt right. He doesn't know what to do with the alt-righters, he knows they listen to him and stuff but he doesn't really acknowledge them. He's recently shown support(ish) for BLM. I still maintain he's a fiscal conservative and social liberal, but he covers it up really well.
Seriously guys, it's current year, come on.Quote:

I'll agree to go if you do.
why does Yellerdog like Clinton so much, was there ever an answer on that
Or was it just the Bernie Bros driving him that way

ha ha.
Now you know my frustration when you started every other post with I mean.
I mean, in fairness, I did start the other half with "in fairness."
touche.
You chose to live in the Bay Area, dude. A place known throughout the country for being excessively liberal. Seems kinda silly to get a chip on your shoulder over a political climate you should have seen coming a million miles away.Quote:

None of them have the juice.
The Alt-Right is more than just the stormweenies and christfags, it's also atheists, libertarians who lean to nationalism, punks, trolls, and anyone else disaffected by the conservative GOP, the DNC oligarchy, or anything to do with business-as-usual fuck-the-proletariat government. It's anonymous, 4chan, Reddit, and right-wing ex-Vice, it's Milo, it's tin foil InfoWars nuts. It's what's getting Trump elected and it can't be defined simply by one sub-sect. That's like calling all BDSM people piss-queens.
Regardless of who you think is better for the job, do you really think Bernie wouldn't be doing a lot better in the polls than Hillary, simply by virtue of having been under then radar and scandal free for the past 3 decades?Quote:

No. It's. Not. It's short for Alternative-Right, a white nationalist publication, and its only core defining belief is white nationalism/white supremecy.Quote:

That's what it is and always has been. You learned this word like fucking two weeks ago when Hillary said it, and now you think if Hillary said they're bad, it must be the cool kid's table. But Hillary was right: They're Nazis, and trying to hammer all this other shit into that does nothing but normalize the nazis.
Nazis are people too.
Clearly!Quote:
