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.

At the end of the day you all will still be eating Fritos & jagging yourselves to sleep no matter who wins, nothing changes. If you guys want to affect change then be a person of value.

It's not politics, it's fanboyism.

The Republican party is full of RINOs.

(Republicans in name only)


You can't even try to take any of this shit seriously.

Millennials are idiots, agreed, but also old folks are fucking dumb too for buying into the propaganda, especially when it comes to Trump...

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN...

TAKE THINGS BACK TO THE REAGAN DAYS...

Ronald Reagan was saying TEAR DOWN THAT WALL and Trump is saying BUILD THAT WALL lolololololol


Hilary Clinton is a cunt.

And now that you're not I'd imagine you're no more privy to CURRENT political trends than anyone with an Internet connection.

Everything changes every year. Science, pop culture, politics.. if you're not involved directly now than your pipeline is the same as car mechanic uh oh

But honestly I respect your opinion because you are always respectful of people as much as you can be and aren't an elitist about every opinion you have.

I stick by my statement in regards to Diode. No way he was ever involved with more than volunteering.

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.

[Diode]

oh, the elitist argument. i love that one.

me and my fancy book-learnin, what do i know?

[Diode]

also, batty, RINO was traditionally a derogatory term for left-leaning republicans to deride them for running under the R to win elections despite their less-conservative principles. it's funny that it now gets tacked onto neocons and teapots alike... and whatever you want to call the virulent, racist, homo/trans/everythingphobic old white people and flyover country yokels that have taken over the party these days.

fuck dick nixon and fuck ronnie raygun for setting the path and fuck the kochs, cheneys, adelsons, murdochs, et. al. of the world for letting it come to this.

[Diode]

AND A MOTHERFUCKING QUAD-POST TO POINT OUT KNUCK'S ARGUMENT IS BASICALLY "DIODE IS MEAN TO ME, SO HE'S A FRAUD, BUT YOU'RE NICE OATY, SO RESPEKK KNUCKLES"

grow up.

[Sharp]

I agree with you on the party lines to an extent @Certain

But between Reagan Democrats and quasi tea party anti establishment Republicans not wanting to align with the base I really think this could be the time for a few independents to sneak into local and national representative bodies

Though now that you're making me think of it both would probably just be as Republicans and do what you said. Saw some poll that had millennial democratic socialists against higher taxes on themselves btw... Lol



When I started this post there was 1 diode post above me

Damn

Tbh knuck you gotta update your political arguments, it ain't college any more

but all that aside she is trouncing sanders bro. didnt he switch his campaign to basically try and shift democratic thinking since him getting the nomination is basically impossible? like, he ain't gonna be president so at least he can try and use his movement to get the party to be more radical towards his ideaology?

the super delegates ain't shifting to bernie. what does she need? like 100 more delegates basically to get to the 2300 something?

i havent been following the democratic side much so maybe i'm completely wrong. but just naming all that shit doesn't change what has happened lol. whats the child porn thing

Like I said he's only down 200 with 1000 still up for grabs. What he's doing is pushing hillary more to the left, not because him winning is impossible, but more so because as a Democrat, she was very centered if not right leaning in the beginning of her campaign, and he's genuinely all about progress by any means

Everyday a new super delegate says they will switch to Bernie at the convention.

And she has less than 1700 pledged delegates, so she still needs 600+

A bunch of fb trolls posted child pornography to 8 of the biggest sanders support groups, then reported it, and got the entire groups removed, the day before the most recent super Tuesday. Reportedly hillarys camp payed out $1 million total for them to do this

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?

God forbid someone says Diode is wrong at all

So easy to get people heated in political threads

@Sharp nah I'm good. These aren't argument they're just observations. Like I said arguing about politics is pointless. TALKING about politics is worthwhile but no one here is trying to have an intelligent conversation unless it aligns with their views. BE DAMNED IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE!!

Fuck this country

@Diode fucking gone @ book learnin. Why don't YOU grow up you fucking nitwit cry baby. I ain't neva read no booksises at my Ivy league university. Sry smart man shittt..

[Diode]

so redirect and ad hom rather than refute point.

you called in the elitist nonsense, genius.

[~RustyGunZ~]

What do you want me to say? You literally just whined.. I'm not sure how I respond to that intelligently?

Say something of substance and I'll respond to it. Tell me how what I originally said was so terrible.

[Diode]

.. i already did. you're debating at a Trump level right now. you're a perfect fit. there needs to be a word for "feigning ignorance but you actually are ignorant" - i bet the germanic languages have one.


on to the next thread.

[~RustyGunZ~]

Lmao quote what you consider you responding to it intelligently

Might have skimmed past it
