Politics!

[uh-oh]

lol

So its looking for sure to be trump and clinton now.

Shame on america.

Anyone wanna place early bets?

Also why dont libertarians get any support? If all the bernie people said fuck hilary and the intelligent republicans said fuck trump do you think a 3rd party guy like gary johnson could become sortve relevant?

Why would Bernie Sanders supporters vote for a Libertarian?

That's ... actually a cogent point.

I'm just a socialist, outright. That's why I was fine with Bernie Sanders (a bad candidate for the cause, all things considered, but at least I agreed with his general views) and why I dislike Libertarians almost as much as outrage Republicans and the Religious Right.

i hear you. if i was to put myself in a party it would be libertarian but i don't like putting a name on my views. but they kindve align with libertarianISM

their are "social libertarians" too. basically all the same ideals, minimal government, state rights, free market free will blah blah, but without the whole dissolving of social programs stuff.

I'll be voting for Gary Johnson

[~RustyGunZ~]

lol socialist

so you believe in fairytales

[NYCSPITZ]

yo uh-oh is a mad genius.

Millenials young ass, 15-30 years of experience in this timeless universe ass niggas... are feeling FAKE STRONG right now TBH. Bernie sander: WE HAVE TO CHANGE IT ALL CHANGE EVERYTHING ARAGHRGAHRGAH ****HEART ATTACK****

Dude would die in year 2 anyways. He's too old and the oligarchy wouldn't have it. People I worked with in my last job liked him but they were idealistic, naive and most of them were retards and liars. Bernie Sanders presidency only occurs in 1 out of 10,000 parallel universes. It's gonna be Hillary, first we have like 1,000,234,231,324 white preisdents, then a black one, and now a female...my only question is, why you going black, female after all this white shit? Tryna take attention off WHAT, BRO? Like, wars and foreign policy and civil rights and shit like that MY NIGGA. Fuck outta here son u ain't fooling NYC yo. Shit's FISHY is what it is but still would rather be in America than a 3rd world country or even a 2nd world country even moscow if you know russian and you're rich also china. Best thing is to be a global citizen with the ability to travel anywhere you want. And NEVER piss off multi-national corporations and don't travel to excessively reckless, and militant countries.

I don't think knuck knows anything about most political structures except that he HATE them

But word uhoh. I'm actually hoping this election cycle starts giving rise to more 3rd party candidates, not in a tea party way. Democratic socialist and libertarian could definitely start scoring a few congressional seats in the right districts, problem is the two big parties have gerrymandered so much that there are a ton of near guaranteed red/blue out there now

Gotta believe though

[~RustyGunZ~]

It's all a lie anyway

Yeah definitely not the people with degrees in the subject

There's no reason for both parties to break up simultaneously. If one breaks, the other will have an increased incentive to avoid a break. It appears the Republicans are much closer to a fracture, but even though they have three distinct groups in their party (the outraged, the fiscal conservatives and the religious right), they stick together because falling apart would guarantee liberal rule that none of those groups wants.

The bulk of the party's brass hating its presidential nominee is a good place to start. As a whole, though, the Tea Party and outrage factions have very different values from the Religious Right that carried George W. Bush. The Religious Right is shrinking, but it's still important.

And what about the 10 million democratic voters ready to join a 3rd party if bernie loses because of the awful job the dnc has done in maintaining an equal opportunity primary?

Most of them aren't actually voters.

Any divide or shift in the parties has to come from the top, not the people. We've seen this through 230 years of this two-party system.

This is why I don't dive into political conversations

Everyone is an expert to their bias

But all I'm gonna say is if you're speaking on yourself you'd be in the political world if you were that involved and knowledgeable but you sell software on commission so I'll take it that degree is just kinnnddd of relevant or a throw away social studies dealio

@uh-oh this is what I was referencing. I actually do appreciate your honesty on political matters, even though I don't agree with them lol.

no, shitbird, the tenure track to professorship in the united states is comoletely fucked and untenable if you want to live in something other than a shoebox for the next 30 years. i sought to find financial security before returning back to academia.

ask stupid questions, win stupid prizes.

grow up.

He wants to share his views without doing shit like this, so yeah it's more approachable. Your wife must love when you're gone on business.

Before I respond to this, what is your political alignment? Who are you supporting in this race and why?
