***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[harlemtothebronx]

So on one of my rare super busy days when I can't be in this thread every 10 minutes, y'all challenging one another to fisticuffs.

Someone could have at least @'d me.

Funny thing about ninja getting all excited about the prospect of Republicans filibustering the SC nominees is that:
- someone else had to feed him that info
- it isn't bulletproof. The Democrats could very well invoke the nuclear option and drill in the head of the general public the fact that the GOP has done nothing for them other than putting the party before the country to insure that they remember.

oh u mean holding them accountable?

Yes, I do.

 

[AEA18]

DEMS in 2016: There's never been a case of voter fraud. It doesn't exist.

What are you even talking about.

Comparing 2000 post election, with 2016 pre-election.

Even then, Dems had legit things to be upset about what happened in Florida, even before any vote was cast. Florida GOP officials were actively trying to suppress black voters.

Obama literally said voter fraud doesn't exist.

I'm pointing out that not only is that statement bs, but Democrats openly acknowledge it.

Get out your damn tribal *** feelings for once.

I dont know why you continue to respond to me. I literally disagree with everything you say just like you disagree with me. And you know how I handle it? I ignore your ***.

You say pedaling these stupid false equivalencies, and get upset when I point them out.

Get out your "I'm an independent thinker look at me" feelings for once.

I'm not always behind rusty but i would hope this phrasing is just to make a point because you'd be a pretty ****** person on a lot of levels if true

 

[wavycrocket]

Y'all should already know what type of time ben roethlisberger is on.

He's exposed himself multiple times. Then try and pop up with that bs false equivalences to seem like an "independent".

We still remember them thanksgiving threads

 

[ben roethlisberger]

Does voter fraud exist? Or is it non-existent?

Edit: @CashBanks making a general statement. I believe we live under inverted-totalitarianism and that we can't go through the sysyem to change it. Rusty feels the opposite.

We both want better for the world. We both want just politics. But we just cant seem to see eye to eye so i choose not to engage. I dont enjoy arguing on the internet 24/7 like the pugnacious one so I'd rather ignore him.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Dude I have you a fair chance to explain your policy proposal after you were running around NT saying everyone scared to hear the truth, calling people sheep, and race trolling for attention. And even then you couldn't list anything past "the government is the problem".

So let's not act like I wasn't willing to dialogue.

But I believe it is fair for me to point out you are making a false equivalency.

Semantics. Yes he's technically wrong but studies suggest voter fraud is a very insignificant problem. There's only been a very small number of credible cases.
Fear-mongering the threat of voter fraud is used by the GOP to suppress minority voters with racist voter ID laws. Particularly African-Americans are targeted by the GOP. Is it because they're black or because many of them vote for the democrats? Hard to say but it's probably both.
North-Carolina and Wisconsin are prime examples of this abuse of power. In both cases, voter fraud is the excuse given by the GOP for such strict laws. North Carolina collected data on African-American voting patterns before passing their controversial voter ID law. Here's what a top Republican consultant/strategist from NC had to say about it:
http://www.vox.com/2016/9/2/12774066/voter-id-laws-racist?0p19G=c
"It's not racist, if blacks voted Republican we wouldn't need voter ID laws"
With all this talk of rigged elections, not once has da Donald acknowledged his party's minority voter suppression. The GOP itself has never issued an apology for doing so and in fact they'll go to great lengths to defend it; see North Carolina. Not to mention their rampant gerrymandering. I'm pretty sure deliberately disenfranchising minority voters to prevent them from voting for the democrats qualifies as rigging elections.
Democrats do gerrymandering too but to a lesser extent.

What thanksgiving threads?

You can lie to yourself all you want and say what you do in here is a dialogue, but it aint. You are only interested in arguments/being correct or echo chambers.

So again, leave it at that and move on.

 

[ben roethlisberger]

What thanksgiving threads?

He is talking about a thread i made in response to another thread that was going on where peoples prejudices towards whites and borderline black supremacy was masquerading as "pro-blackness".

So I made a thread exactly like the other except i interchanged the black with the whites. It was admittedly a failed attempt at trolling to make a point.

 

[cashbanks]

so you intentionally tried to make a white supremacy thread?

I vaguely remember some nutty posts from you but couldn't remember what

Link to thread?

And you can lie to yourself thinking that you actually contribute to the discussion with these false equivalences.

And that you just want to share ideas. I'm not the one that has made blanket judgments about the posters on this board simply because they disagree with me. That would be you.

But whatever

Meth deleted it.

What happend is that people where posting memes in the Thanksgiving thread. On Twitter someone made a racist comment about black people not having their dad at Thanksgiving. People on Twitter got on that racist and started making memes mocking white people's affinity for guns and not seasoning their food, and some racist ones about mass shootings. Dudes posted it in the NT Black Thanksgiving thread and people where laughing at them

Dude then makes another thread with racist stuff regarding black people and thanksgiving and some sort of revenge.

Meth locks and deletes his thread, deletes the memes about white people in the "Black Thanksgiving Thread' then tells us to keep it positive regarding everyone.

It wasn't any black supremacy stuff like dude is talking about. The memes where in poor taste though

Black supremacy

But whatever

Again, show me in recent history where I've called people sheep. For sure did that in 2011-ish. Been a long time for me.

However, I've seen you **** on Libertarians, anarchists, Republicans and anything else that isnt Democrat. Dont try to pretend like your open to dialogues. Your very comfortable in your Democratic suit you identify yourself with and i dont think thats gonna change brosef.

I have criticized Progressives too

Miss me with this strawman

-And I explain all my beefs with everyone. And if you can't explain how public goods are going to be provided, of course I will have an issue wit that. Everyone should

Ok now I remember, had a few laughs in that black thanksgiving thread too.
