Re: Random Political Comments
The polls are fine. People's ability to read, interpret and derive meaning from polls --- that's always been poor. All the chest-thumping from Trump voters about the polls after the 2016 election are a good example of that.showa58taro wrote:If taking the UK one polls consistently showed Conservatoves in the lead by varying margins and Boris Johnson more popular than Jeremy Corbyn.

Re: Random Political Comments
Most of them won't vote for Trump either. And he's taking some of his original voters back from Trump.Reign in Blood wrote:Anyone who won't touch Sanders socialist taint with a 10 foot pole.Headhunter wrote:Where's Trump pulling new voters from?Reign in Blood wrote:And you've made compelling points.

Still don't get why we're celebrating people's inability to understand what socialism actually is. Yay, not knowing things. So cool. So good for democracy.

You and Tigg do that sorry semantics song and dance all the time, save it for him. I'm fine with just calling him batshit, no one misconstrues.

It's not semantics and your Stockholm syndrome is showing.
If my leaders went out of their way to keep me misinformed by branding everything with a hot button term, I'd be pissed that they think so little of me. You lap it up.

Stockholm syndrome.
Brand him whatever you want. He won't win because he's old, ugly, senile, smelly, surly, generally unsavory in all senses really and most of all batshit.

Re: Random Political Comments
I also struggle to see how some social democracy concepts are more batshit than the direction of this country in the past 40 years. The growing wealth gap isn't batshit? Our endless wars and military budget aren't batshit? The Wall Street people who fucked everyone over, weren't punished and are now operating with even less impediments than before...that's not batshit?
We didn't cross lines with any of that shit but I'm supposed to be blown away by the idea of helping people get out of student loan debt they'll never escape from because of compound interest? That's just too crazy?

Yes, Stockholm syndrome. You're aware that conservatives lie to you because they know a dirty word gets a favorable reaction. And you don't care. And even find it funny.Reign in Blood wrote:Stockholm syndrome.

I had a quick 5 second philosophical revelation there. I'd have to think twice about pissing on Trump if he were on fire. I wouldn't think twice, I'd just piss on Obama, Clinton, both Bush's, Reagan (end there). Trump, I'd think about letting him cook.

I don't think it is one. It is for Republicans, because they assume most people just consider it a synonym of Communism, which is ingrained in American culture as a bad thing (and in fairness, tough to dispute that with case studies).Reign in Blood wrote:Why is it such a dirty word?

Bernie's also doing everyone a disservice by not distancing himself from the term. He knows he isn't one.

Re: Random Political Comments
I'd let Trump and Bill (who I consider by far the best president in my lifetime) cook. Skipping ahead, I'd also let Nixon cook. Underrated think twice candidate for me would be HW for all the awful shit that happened in the CIA in the 70s and 80s, but I'd probably squirt one out for him too.Reign in Blood wrote:I had a quick 5 second philosophical revelation there.
