Presidential Election: Get out and vote!

[C0|dB|00ded]

I can't relate because I am not a mental slave to politicians. But I am happy for all of the liberals and progressives who now feel 'freed' and 'liberated' from the tyranny that was the Donald Trump administration. And I'm not saying this applies to anyone on this board. But just looking at some of the sentiments across the country, I really had no idea Trump kept them in such a voluntary state of mental imorisonment.

Ummm, Trump "owned the Libs" like no one has owned them before. He's been trolling non-stop, calling people names 24/7, since he decided to run for president. That type of behavior tends to rile a few people up. Then he nominated justice after justice after justice; judge, after judge, after judge. Imagine for a second that you are a hardcore right-winger; I mean, you will watch the Rush Limbaugh podcast if you miss a single live episode. Now, imagine Obama is in office and behaved EXACTLY the same as Trump. You'd probably be in jail right now.

I have a rural cousin whom I enjoyed visiting from time to time. It's nice to have a beer and an occasional cigar on the porch in the country peace and quiet. While Obama was in office, this dude was constantly spamming me about the feds buying up all the ammo, American concentration camps that were "being built", military exercises being conducted in our own cities in "preparation for Obama calling Marshall law and..." -- I don't know what he was supposedly going to do after that... maybe make us convert to Islam or become citizens of Kenya? Anyways... this dude had "Don't Tread On Me" flags, "Molon Labe" tattooed on his arm, and would travel to Montana a couple times a year to meet up with an organized militia that rolled around in the dirt for a weekend simulating war games. This dude... This dude, wouldn't have stood for the Obama version of Trump.

People on here talk about the Republicans as the peaceful people... well... we are, but... Jesus there are a lot of right-wing crazies that are itchin' for a confrontation. Depending on my mood I might even be included in that group as embarrassing as it is to admit.

Sentiment is a fickle thing, and unless you are constantly self-evaluating your thoughts and feelings, it's easy to get manipulated by the conservative media machine. The changes start very slowly until eventually you're screaming on message boards and joining militias.

Antifa and the modified BLM is just the liberal response to the right-wing militias, proud boys, etc. etc.

We need to dial. down. the. ****ing. rhetoric.

I've got my fingers crossed that Biden will be that dude. Then in 4 years we can boot his ass out for a slick, well-mannered, fiscally-conservative moderate.

Have you seen any instances of fraud that require investigation?

Based on what I’ve read there have been many claims investigated and none so far have been substantiated.

[Shock Top]

You strike me as a “firey, but mostly peaceful” kind of guy

None? What about the 6000 votes that were incorrectly tabulated? Would you consider that a valid impropriety? Maybe?

Glitch that was caught and corrected by the election officials themselves. Do you even bother to look any of this up?

[pie n eye]

How can you possibly do "some research" on something unknown? We can't know if there is fraud -- or the extent of it -- if we don't have honest wide spread formal investigations into it.

The United States of America have been holding presidential elections for 232 years.

People investigate and conduct studies on voter fraud. Research shows it’s exceedingly rare.

By all means we should investigate any claims of fraud by the Trump campaign. It’s their right. The claims are being investigated and time after time the claims have been proven false.

You act like Trump is the first election loser to come up with the “but they stole the election” game. He’s not.

[Aargh]

Right. Which is why I said that if you're on food stamps, you only get healthy choices. You're not coming to Uncle Sam for a handout and then filling your cart with steak and Twinkies.

Also, I'd legislate forced birth control in exchange for welfare checks. You want a check? Well, you're not creating another mouth to feed until you're self-sufficient.

I'm somewhat of a pariah here because I've hated Donald Trump since the '80's when I studied his business practices...

...I totally agree with Cold's post. I'd actually go a step further. This is going to p*** some off. I'd support a government paid abortion for anyone on food stamps who gets pregnant. I'd support the loss of government assistance for any who got pregnant while on government assistance and refused a government-paid abortion.. If you want me to pay for your having more kids, sorry - that ain't going to happen. I'd also support free birth control so that people could continue having sex because that's never going to stop.

A woman who doesn't want kids while on food stamps gets free birth control to ensure that we don't have to pay if she gets pregnant.

A woman who wants kids while on government assistance for her or her and her kids, sorry. You either lose the next kid or you lose your government assistance. That creates the problem of promoting criminal activity to feed kids, but if it's known that more kids and you lose your food stamps, perhaps we would have fewer kids who need food stamps.

That attitude was step 1 in my questioning my affiliation with the Republican party. The second step was Brownback's insane policy that if wealthy people had more money they would hire more people. Anybody who got better than a D- in Econ 101 should know that it is demand for products, and not the wealth of business owners, that creates jobs.

[1979Shocker]

I notice you tend to post out of context or fake headlines that are anti-right wing. Have you noticed this as well?

No, I haven't noticed it.

[Shock Top]

That certainly is one strategy...

Ahhh, so if all the hungry folks in Kenya would just run out and buy a ton of food, all of their problems would be solved! Brilliant!

That was demonstrated to have happened. It was caught and corrected, as you stated. The same software was used in doz an of states and hundreds of counties. Shouldn’t we check to see if it occurred there? Shouldn’t we find out how the glitch happened? Is it systematic? Was it operator error? These things need to be determined. Don’t you even bother to read?

[wufan]

No, I haven't noticed it.

You should go back and take a look. It’s pretty clear.

Do you not know the difference between Keynesian economics and supply-side economics?
