    Look, all of us yearn for the Before Time. But it’s gone and never coming back.

    Nobody looks at Whigs from 1861 or the SDP in 1934 as being principled. They’re either silly or malevolent.

    So Orange Man means binary framing isn't stupid and ridiculous?

    You aren't even pretending to have even a modicum of a principle.

    If the topic is Gregg Berhalter, it’s still stupid.

    If the topic is American politics, no it isn’t. Either we have a functioning democracy or not. Tax rates and marijuana legalization are, for now, irrelevant. So is Bill Clinton’s history with women. Even if you adopt stanger’s maximalist take on Hillary, Trump’s presidency is a rolling disaster.

    I see.

    So there's only one way to think about politics, and everything else is immoral to boot.

    Cool.

    Duh. That's been plainly obvious for a while now.

    Here's a thought: There should be a mandatory Voight-Kampff Test to be able to vote. Something like, "Do you think that separating infants from their parents and putting them in concentration camps is an acceptable solution to the question of immigration reform?" Obviously, anybody who can't answer that question with a modicum of empathy shouldn't have the ability to vote. Also, anybody who responds with something about Yemen is immediately disenfranchised.

    As much as a threat, yes. For people like me, POCs and minorities in general, Trump was/is an existential threat. That does not matter for you though, you would rather go with your vanity vote. You could not care less about all the people who would be affected by that sociopath policies.

    You'll have to quote one of my posts where I said that was acceptable and that the reason was Yemen. I'll wait.

    No, it actually sucks royally that in reality it is almost always applicable.

    And I say that a relatively privileged white guy.

    She is NOT a natural born citizen of the United States.
    Not going to happen.

    Why do we have to "outsource" these jobs?

    Are there no Americans who can fly AND spell long words?

    This country is going to shit.

    If only there was someone who could Make America Great Again.

    Having recently drive from Huntington WV to Portsmouth OH, I understand the hopelessness and desperation that might have driven some people in the states running from Pa to Wisc to vote for Trump (or, for those who treat their vote like their V card, someone hopeless.)

    But no way I’m going to let it pass when people can’t admit that was a mistake.

    It’s especially ironic for any posters who ranted about Hillary’s lax security practices. Jesus, does THAT look silly in retrospect.

    I'm sure there are, but it's simply not cost-effective to hire Americans.

    Didn't he have a campaign meeting where some of the accusers were sitting in the audience? I'm sure I remember that at one point.

    They were at one of the debates.

    It's why my counterattack would have been for Pimpin Hill to have Trump rape accusers and the small contractors he raped in Atlantic City & elsewhere at the debate. You gotta know how to handle a NYC dirtbag like Trump. That may be the most important trait that Biden has and that I don't see in most of the Dem candidates. He'll mix it up with Ill Douchey.

    Whereas Donnie is so moderated, under control.

    Betcha that a majority of white men will say that Donnie is less "hysterical" than Hillary if polled. Betcha.

    True, they would confess that sometimes he does get righteously angry. Not shrill, mind you. Angry like Jehovah.
