***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[mister friendly]

My point was more towards the Republicans as to why HRC cant destroy Trump.

Currently if you win the nomination for the Republican party you'll automatically get 40 percent of the vote.The electoral map has stayed fairly consistent the last 24 years in terms of Democrat states and Republican states with a some battleground states.

Also its not always true that low voter turnout favors the Republican, Bill Clinton won in 1996 with a low turnout...the lowest since 1924.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Both candidates are absolutely dreadful. Arguing who's better at this point is like choosing between cancer and aids. We're ****** regardless

Oh look.  This again.

Probably a Gary Johnson voter.  

we really ignoring da fact that Hillary is da 2ND unfavorable candidate ever behind Trump and da most Unfavorable Democratic Democratic candidate ever?

Are we really ignoring the fact that this doesn't prove anything.

But I like how you admit her favorability rating is still better than Trump, you know, the candidate you're supporting.

Donald only been doing this since last June... Hillary's been crap awful for 30+ years

da fact that a straight political rookie can beat her makes her look terrible.

Hillary has been crap awful yet she was a popular Senator (of your state btw), came the closest to beating Obama; and barring a major event, is probably going to be elected president in a few weeks.

She has done all this with all with the GOP (and now Russia) trying to destroy her for the past 25 years.

What world are you even living in.

-Plus I love how the implication of your argument is that Hillary should be washing Trump even worst than she is doing right now

 

[kingfoamnyc]

You call her dreadful and compare her to a serious disease, and provide no evidence to back up this point except "I'm not impressed by her campaign thus far...."

Yet I'm the one the sounds ridiculous.

Ok pa, ok

I called BOTH candidates a serious disease, highlighted that neither one of them are doing a good enough job convincing ME why I should give them my vote. Absolutely zero bias on my part at all. You should really take off your goggle's before you go attacking folks it really hurts your credibility. If you have a problem with my stance that's cool but please don't try to paint a picture without the necessary utensils champ.

Clinton's approval rating was high AF and da economy was a well oiled machine, so no one cared to vote.

far different from da political landscape now.

What world are you even living in

in a world where Hillary is da most unpopular Democratic candidate ever. maybe u need to actually check in to da real world every now & then

You calling them both out doesn't mean anything because I asked you to address your concerns with Clinton.

Buddy, go back and read my previous post. I asked you to back up your stance, and I simply disagreed with it

You came wit the insults, not me.

So please don't project your shtick onto me.

But in the real world, she is beating Trump right now. Something you seem to be in denial about.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

So you want a spokesperson that is tell you want you want to hear?

Gimmie a break

Spokesperson =/= politician

Please inform what it is that politicians do that are running for office ? I think they make SPEECHES highlighting and discussing what separates them from their adversaries while detailing what they are going to do to make change and improve issues in whatever said town,city,district,country,etc. Your emotional and not making a whole lot of sense right now

 

[ninjahood]

that Hillary should be washing Trump even worst than she is doing right now laugh.gif

she's not doing anything though, she hasn't gained from Trump's sea saw #'s, which shows how weak of a candidate she is.

she couldn't even capitalize on that tape

They also put out policy proposal and endorse their party's platform.

Maybe you should look those things up, it might help you.

She was pulling away from Trump before the tape though.

And remember when you where running around talking about 538. What does that website say about where the race stands?

-I haven't done much actual research
-Back handed shade

Your argument

 

[kingfoamnyc]

-I haven't done much actual research

Your argument

That card you just played is probably the oldest on the internet. It's equivalent to you telling me "do your googles" . I expected more from you rusty. Got u breaking out the stealth edit as well

 

[RIP sleazyy]

She really hasn't convinced me of anything either.

But Donald has convinced me he should never ever be president.

 

[ninjahood]

pulling away when its only a 6~ gap & most of da deficit is from Trump own based than can rebound

Wednesday bout to throw some fresh gas on them polls & u still got those pesky wikileak drops daily, that now have implicated Obeezy & shown more state dept shenanigans.

u do know Chris Wallace is gonna press them questions right?

What else should I tell you besides do read about her and the DNC's policy proposals? Hmm

And they I edit my post to add things all the time. Not like the new comment is a lie

Edit: Kinda funny you edit a post to criticize me editing a post

You know Chirs Wallace is a democrat, right? One that have voted for people in both party's

Plus he already said he is not going out there to grill either candidate

CHRIS WALLACE: No, it's very different, and I'm very mindful of that. It isn't coming up with a killer question, not coming up with the great follow-up. I see myself as a conduit to ask the questions and basically to get the two candidates, or as I say, if one of the other people is on the stage as well, one of the third party candidates, but to get the candidates to engage. I view it as kind of being a referee in a heavyweight championship fight. If it -- if it succeeds when it's over, people will say, you did a great job. I don't even remember you ever even being on the stage.

He is not going to be your white knight b

 

[kingfoamnyc]

The problem with putting all your faith and "repping" a certain political party is the fact that you have to ride out for whatever candidate it pukes out. Regardless if you really want to or not. "I mean this person hasn't really convinced me that they can lead a nation of people and they will fight Congress tooth and nail to get these policies that benefit me my people passed but I rather this person than the other candidate cause I don't mess with that party at all they're evil as hell and not for my people AT ALL" A LOT of people in our country have this mind set and it's disheartening to say the least

And now here come the strawman arguments

I want to hear my presidential elect sincerely speak about the social injustices of people in impoverished communities. I want to hear about what's gonna be done about corporations like ALEC and CCA. I want to hear about why minorities continue to struggle to make a dent in government and city jobs, our deplorable public school system, healthcare, realistic efforts to improve relations with law enforcement, stopping police brutality, etc. I want to hear this dialogue spoken about passionately and hear about how we can start the creation of systems to change these things. This is all I'm asking for

You may not think Clinton speaks with enough passion to convince you that she will sufficiently tackle these issues, and that's fine.

But Donald Trump has made it very clear that he plans to do quite the opposite of what you're asking for.

The public education policies he wants to implement would be catastrophic for the system. He consistently speaks on minorities as if they are monolithic. More than once he has shared anti-black and anti-semitic memes on his twitter. He's pitched the idea of a nationwide stop and frisk policy. As the "law and order" candidate, he likely wants harsh and excessive punishments for crime. He's pushed the narrative that the police force are the real victims of discrimination. He maintains that the Central Park Five are guilty even though they were exonerated by DNA evidence. The list goes on and on and on and on...

So I don't really understand how you're characterizing them as equally bad when the majority of Trump's proposals are contrary to the things you want to see

I linked it because it had the video.

It is not an opinion piece, it is literally the man's words.

Why do you insist on being this dense.
