International POLITICS - ongoing shitshow edition

[pavementtune]

what would for sure result in a higher turn out, though? besides who runs, message alone. what?

all the notifications I get (yea I get them, besides not being able to vote) seem to come from the same - sorry to say, shit for brains - marketing department.
they turn the last headline on fox and trending tweets around, it looks about as thought through as if it would be coming for the SP marketing camp, and has about as much substance, and then what, expect that

"we do care" - in nice big letters on blue will keep BOTH the left-of-center groups and the non-progressive center hopeful, and additionally

turn people who didn't get on board yet into "yay, I vote Dems!" - like really?

every other dang grassroots platform does a better job at mobilizing people than the Democratic Party does.

Sanderz brooo

they love him in the Midwest, exactly where Democrats need to perform, the coastal and major city thing is going to pay off long term but right now don't run those guys

[Elphenor]

we're going to get nominee Tim Kaine and he is going to get walloped

[pavementtune]

well Sanders, yea. that would get at least the people I know who fucking lost their brain and voted for him first and didn't move their ass for Clinton, sure.

I tuned out of most of the Dem side talks really, would he even run, would they let him?

I'm still for Bruce fucking Springsteen. complete and utter "politics is dead anyway" move, but I bet he'd score! They could do it the other way around, instead of voting tv into the WH, they could follow up with a nice VH1 show, FROM THE BOSS WING. money in the bank, fellas

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot I don't like about Sanders. A lot of his proposals would only make people more reluctant on the government, and that is never the answer. But the guy at least isn't a swamp creature and when compared to these other rotten Democrats, he's the best that the people could hope for.

You can tell by how the Democrats scrambled to sabotage him that he wasn't one of the usual puppets.

Here's one of my political idols, Ron Paul, talking about how they're similar in a lot of ways

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...lar-many-ways/

Ron Paul is saying "they both want things to change drastically"

wanting things to change drastically in completely opposite directions is not being alike except in an extremely superficial way

[reprise85]

i fucking like sanders, i voted for him. but you just want different people for the sake of it. and look where it got us: concentration camps for toddlers. a president earning millions of dollars by promoting his businesses while he's president. congratulating a dictator on winning a sham election. etc etc etc. collusion with russia by at least several members of trump's election team and family, if not him himself. new shit every fucking day. it's a disgrace.

yeah I agree not turning out for Clinton was not justifiable

the democrats really don't want him to be the nominee, again, how much do they really want to win? seems like they'd prefer a loss if it means they run someone in the club and nobody has to reflect on the influence of their campaign finance

That's not true. For me personally, I have some values that lie with the Dems and some with the Republicans. It's foolish to look at politics as a black and white entity.

I think the most important thing is taking power away from the Illuminati dirt-bags, and for that, Trump and Sanders are on the same side. Trump and Sanders have a lot more in common with their opinions regarding the globalists than many people in their own parties.

Not true... Look, I'm not saying I want Sanders over Trump or any Republican running with the same ideology as Trump... I'm simply saying that I'd rather have Sanders running than some other swamp creature Democrat or if some square like Mike Pence takes the Republican nominee. Pence will say he's for all the same things as Trump, but really, historically he's been on a different page. I don't trust him.

You must be a very insecure man if another mans differing political opinion makes you want to resort to violence.

[noyen]

I feel threatened by your fascist views. Your Nazi sympathetic ways. It absolutely makes me feel violence is the only way to deal with scum like you.

[fuzzyroes]

See, liberals and Republicans are flipping. It used to be the knucklehead Republicans that would get violent but there's definitely been a paradigm shift. Joe Rogan is always talking about it.

It's fascinating to observe

[noyen]

shut the fuck up and die man.

[fuzzyroes]

Speaking of Bernie Sanders LOL

[noyen]

I hope a hippopotamus mauls your genital area.

[fuzzyroes]

You gotta admit, that's a pretty darn good Bernie Sanders impression.

[noyen]

i dont gotta admit anything, "durrrr you have to agree that we agree upon use of language". retarded.

[noyen]

I hope your face gets caught in an escalator and your skin is ripped off of you while you then die slowly in the company of hot topic employees.

[vixnix]

Fuzzy do you think that men buy sex dolls that look like prepubescent girls because women have forgotten how to be women, and are no longer sweet and nice? So it leaves guys with no option but to buy these dolls, because women have become to aggressive, generally speaking and it’s a turn off for most guys?

[FlamingGlobes]

I think this thread is the first I've ever seen fuzzy invoke the Illuminati by name.

Tell me fuzzy, do you still believe in Santa Claus as well?

why irish? would it of made a difference if they were from, say, voralberg instead?

[pavementtune]

yes, because a Vorarlberger would not have understood it in English, and it doesn't sound half as good translated.

Ich hoff ein Nilpferd verstümmelt deinen Genitalbereich - that sounds reallly, really bad.

[FoolofaTook]

nilpferd

[FoolofaTook]
