The thing I do hate about SJW's and the crazy feminists are saying all white men are bad and evil when anyone with a brain knows that's bull kitten look at the many brave men that died on the Titanic, both World Wars even 9/11 and more, yet to people like them and the more crazy people they think they are changing the world for the better.

I know right i mean how can you be racist if youve helped white people

Id like to talk about politics here because all posts are about what members here are against which is social justice. Theres so much negativity.

If you were elected what would you talk about?Would you take tests like these and share your results?https://www.politicalcompass.org/

I got left libertarian; https://www.politica...=-7.25&soc=-6.0

[Dalton.T.R]

Is there even a reason for having an election at this point? The way things are looking now there isn't a chance of Trump losing the election. The media will never show it and they're pulling the same crap as 2016 y saying Trump can win against such and such...

 

Fact of the matter is Trump has raised more money than all the Democrats combined. He's gaining more supporters by the day, even with people claiming they can't stand him but would rather vote for him than a leftest, no Republican can rival him, and Trump has a lot of secret supporters out there who are just keeping their mouths shut because supporting Trump is apparently a crime, which is another factor being used against the left. You can only call people racists, bigots, sexists, and so on for so long until people start rolling their eyes and laughing in return.

I closed out the window before I saved the link. Slight to the right economically (3 dots right) and slight toward libertarian (1 dot down). I was a lot closer to the center than I thought I’d be.

Be careful what you wish for. That's the attitude that Clinton and her supporters had going against Trump and look what happened. Plus Clinton had way more money than Trump, so the money has proven not to be that significant in modern politics.

 

It will be tougher for Trump this time because Democrats are really pissed with the way Trump has acted has president for the past three years so I am willing to bet their turnout is going to be higher than it was in 2016.

I got left libertarian as well, a little more right though.

Um...have you been paying attention at all? Democrats might be pissed at Trump, which is nothing new. Same kitten different day. But they're not on good terms with the majority of the people. The Russia hoax was a flop and every time they've tried to find dirt on Trump they've ended up shooting themselves in the foot. The democrats are now the party of Antifa and "The Squad". The Democrats are definitely not in a good position this time around. The candidates are jokes and one of their most popular ones is starting to learn "the truth" of the left. 

 

Yeah, this is going to be very interesting.

And the Republican party by being the party of Trump lost the House in 2018 by 10 million votes. Clearly if the Republicans continue down the same path as they did in 2018 it's not going to end well, considering Democrats turnout more for presidential elections than midterms or special elections.

 

Also, Antifa is way overblown and cannot be compared in anyway to right-wing terrorism that has resulted in actual deaths, too many to count. And "the Squad" is literally just 4 members of a caucus that has over 200 democrats. They do not hold all of the power in the Democratic party and never will.

...The party in control of the presidency loses seat in congress to the point that that gaining or maintaining seats has happen only 3 times in the past century at least.

 

Obama had from what I recall a super majority in both houses when he got into the white house and lost the house in 2010 mid terms then the senate in 2014. The only time he gained number was during his reelection. Not only that but a major thing people were pointing out after Trump won was Obama didn't really support Democratic state parties during his presidency leading to the Republican having the largest amount of control they had over the country since right before the Great Depression.

 

Trump lost the house though by a smaller number than Obama did in 2010 from 257 to 193 compared to T's 241 to 198, and gained two seats in the senate; which from what understand is considered rare. Also since the senate under Harry Reid removed the 60 majority to block a filibuster for federal appointments right before republican gained control of the senate. They've been stacking the courts with conservative justices for the past three years.

Trump won by a small majority in the states that he needed to carry he isn't liked by the majority of people or he wouldn't have lost the popular vote to hillary. Not to mention many of the people who voted for him aren't liking his trade war

Just to clarify, Obama did not have a super majority when he got in the White House because the Republican party held up the seating of Al Franken to the Senate until July 2009, and then Senator Ted Kennedy died which caused a special election where the Republicans won in Feburary 2010. So, Obama had a super majority in Congress for around 6 months not 2 years.

 

Also, the Democrats only lost by 6M votes for the House in 2010, but lost 63 seats. The Republicans lose by 10M votes for the House in 2018, but only lose 42 seats. That is gerrymandering for you.

[BlueStarSaber]

Also how well or bad Trump does depends who he is against in the election.

It is not really Gerrymandering.

 

I believe I mentioned this in that post you were replying to, "Obama didn't really support Democratic state parties during his presidency leading to the Republican having the largest amount of control they had over the country since right before the Great Depression." The thing is about American is we are not a Democracy we are a Republic. For the Federal Government each state is given two senators and at least one Representative to represent their state in Congress. It doesn't matter how many people vote but where they vote. Because ten billion San Franciscans voting democrat will make their districts democrat as well as their senators, but it not going to prevent farmers a district over voting Republican for at least their House Representative nor from another state from having their representatives to congress being Republican. That's how the system works.

 

So? Where did Obama lose seats? Where did Trump lose seats? Obama over the years was losing seat in non-coastal states because he was ignoring them. Trump won seats in Pennsylvania and the Rust Belt because he didn't. The places he lost seats were places where either their wasn't a strong enough republican presence, or people that were consider "anti-Trumpers." Notice how Republican members of congress speaking out again the President have decreased dramatically since the mid-terms. Why? Because they couldn't get support from Trump or his supporters and were voted out.

I would say Bernie or Tulsi would give him a run for his money. Tulsi is gaining a lot of conservative voters due to her policies so she could actually take votes away from Trump in general election. She also has the young vote but not the Neo liberals votes. Bernie Sanders has a lot of ideas in place even before Elizabeth Warren had them and at least he doesn't flips flops on his stances like Warren. And the fact Trump got a lot to bash her with like the fake Native American thing for example. It wouldnt surprise me if she picks clintion as her running mate since she seems to come out of no where and bashed Tulsi with the my Russian conspiracy. She is still a U.S congress woman and a active Major in the U.S army.

Signed not a neo liberal

The candidate will be either Sanders, Warren or Biden. I like Tulsi for her anti-imperlialism policies but she doesn't talk about anything else and I also think she's out of the race atm.

 

Sanders lost a bit during the heart attack but gained favor again when the 3 new superstars endorsed him.

Not probably. There is a 0% chance of him being found guilty by the Senate. Removal requires 67 votes in the Senate. Republicans could be in the minority and still prevent it.

I believe impeachment was always the goal. None of the impeached presidents were ever removed.

 

This means that voting matters, activism matters. Standing outside your rep's office with a sign that says impeach matters. None of this would've happen had the dems not won the last election. I do want him removed but I'm glad they got so far.
