President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump

I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?

So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at

this smug superiority mantra from the left that you never hear from the right is specifically pushing moderates to the right

"we're so obviously better that not actively supporting us is the same as actively voting for the other party" just reeks of out of touch delusional libtardation

it also represents a number of logical fallacies, mostly moral blackmail and false dichotomy

This is reetarded. In races where there is a detestable candidate who you'd never vote for vs an unlikeable candidate, not voting or voting 3rd party is a vote for the detestable candidate. It doesn't matter which political party it is, so put your panties back on.

chance that a third party could win. HOW DISHONEST OF YOU TO PRETEND THAT DOESN'T EXIST.

Imagine thinking americas two party system wasn't a real dichotomy.

More of a duopoly.

i mean, they are?

already was, has been for a long time. enjoy arbys

Which Dems? Fetterman?

I wasn’t around for the white nationalist christofascism of the Obama administration ig

I guess Obama privately droning grandmas in the middle east was just setting the stage for openly thanking god for a pious bombing. Checkmate once again, libs

You are right if you talk from the center, but for some people the two candidates are disgusting for different reasons than those who evaluate from the center.

There isn't only one axis for everyone.

There is also the party machine behind in the specifics of the USA.

For example a person who considers mc Cain a lot better than the unknown quantity of obama in 2008, but is liberal leaning wrt judicial decisions, can vote Obama because he will pick liberal judges.

Another person in 2016 might be turned off by the grotesque antics of Trump and admit he looks like a worse person than HRC but the fact he will have to pick a key SCOTUS judge immediately, and perhaps others later, motivates him to vote Trump if he prefers the judicial philosophy of the right.

Also the game isn't played only once. You can signal something by non voting, for example that both are too far away from you.

That might motivate someone in the future to move a little toward you and your fellows, if there are enough people like you and that gets captured in polls.

yeah him, obviously. and all the other ones who are literally owned by israel, which is a lot (e.g. schumer and jeffries, etc). even the aoc/bernie set mostly seem upset about the procedure of it all, how they weren't allowed to rubber-stamp it first. idk specifically because lol at ever listening to these absolute ghouls, but the fact that schumer was calling trump a pussy for not attacking iran like 2 weeks ago, i'm guessing a lot of them are for this. possibly even a majority position, whether they'll admit it now or not. hell, the dems even designed this nuclear strike plan a year ago lol

anyway, have fun calling people ******s for not being enthusiastic about "lesser" evil, but you might want to accept that your beloved blue is unpopular because they ****ing suck, and they have no one to blame but themselves

Amen.

Tons of purple haired people support it.

Even some libs in thread support it.

Weird hill to try to fight on.

something like 70% of American adults agree with bombing the **** out of Iranian nuclear facilities.

accept democracy


Hmm these cases of people who are pretending to be ICE to just do racist **** tells you everything you need to know about ICE and the agenda of the people who have their puppet fingers up Trump's arsehole.

Oh man, I bet you will find a ton of Shumer supporters on this forum.

Ironically I am an independent who probably seems Democrat because I'm thoroughly enthusiastic for the lesser evil

Anyways, enjoy your church sponsored bombings. Coming to a grade school near you.

I dunno why you are talking down to me. What are you fighting for? Nothing? So noble


by checkraisdraw

it’s my assessment that if you have a preference of one candidate or another, you are reducing the chance of the candidate you prefer winning by not voting for anyone, especially if you loudly encourage others to do so as well. I think that’s the origin of the expression he’s using.otoh if someone has a preference for Trump then actually we prefer them to not vote if we have a

on reflection, i think you make some good points

but him using that line on mong is still pretty strong evidence that the "no vote is a vote for x" mantra is definitely thrown around way too frequently


It's one of the main reasons I don't identify with the democratic party. I'm against all war and violence (with some allowance for obvious things like self-defense).

Imho the problem was more about the nonsense of passing trump has a non interventionist military why the democrats were….
We both know it doesnt really matter but hearing trump being different was disgusting .
Especially the non sense of no wars during his terms or no involvement in them …

Is this the same guy who is in the country illegally and swung a weed whacker at an Ice agent?

Folks, I can't tell you how much easier your life would be if you first didn't commit a crime and second didn't comply with the agents orders.

I don't care about all the good things you did after you committed a crime. This is straight out of the Lib playbook.


by 57 On Red

The Iranians could have carried on, since the UK, France, Germany, China, Russia and the EU remained on board, but, once the US resiled, they didn't, even though the EU passed a measure negating US sanctions in regard to EU countries. The EU has its own sanctions in place, but it's possible that the Iranians are not entirely in good faith and are using the admittedly poor behav

Trump imposed secondary sanctions and made it impossible for other parties to carry on.


by rickroll

but him using that line on mong is still pretty strong evidence that the "no vote is a vote for x" mantra is definitely thrown around way too frequently

in this case I think it is definitely being misapplied at least.

I prefer to make the more positive case with the conditional thrown in. if you have a preference and don’t vote, you are helping the person that you disprefer over the one you prefer.

and I would bite the bullet and say that you should vote for the 99% Hitler over the 100% Hitler.

people will still get offended by my framing but I think it’s mathematically correct unless there is some kind of rational case to be made for some further condition down the line that would make delayed gratification preferable, which doesn’t appear to be the case for me in most circumstances. (eg accelerationism just seems intuitively bad to me and without empirical support)

lol, wow, you really have been brainwashed... Not even sure if the "swinging a weedwhacker" is true, no evidence of that, but the beating evidence is there on video. Even if he did do the alleged, what would you do if a group of MASKED unidentified guys came at you? Notice the Fox article (which likely will be pulled dows shortly) doesn't mention the video. He has been in the country for like 30 years for heavens sakes. Lib or Rep, it's just not right.

Quoted from article:
Video of the incident shows several masked men in tactical gear pinning Barranco to the ground and repeatedly striking him in the head and neck. Several of the men are seen wearing vests that read “US Border Patrol Police” on the back.

The men then forced Barranco into an unmarked vehicle, holding his arms behind his back, the video shows.
