I thought Trump was corrupt, colluding with the Russians, that Trump bought the election, etc. etc. etc. Bla bla bla
Anyway, can we all agree that both Democrats and Republicans are pieces of shit and stop shit slinging across the aisle all the time? Any of you diehard democrats, just stop. Any of you diehard republicans, just stop. Divorce your party and find local, state, and national representation that does not have an R or a D in front of the name. Time to actually drain the swamp.
Firstly, it seemed like you posting a "not just Trump, but Hillary too" type of situation. To my knowledge, that is the way the game is played.
Secondly, you say why can't we ditch the systems to which I say they are too busy playing they "one sucks more game". Basically a never ending spam of posts like the one this thread started with. Your intentions were different, but this is what both parties do.
No, it was "it's both" and I was quite sure that was obvious especially since I say to ditch both. "Hillary too" is not the same as "...both Democrats and Republicans are pieces of shit..."
Edit - Wait a minute. Just what a damn minute, here...what's going on? What are you trying to do, here? I reread and I think you're intentions are not okay. I think maybe you're trying to stir up some shit.
So it's okay because both do it, huh? That's your point? "Both do it. This is how the game is played." But the game has been for quite a long time, "Trump colluded." Months, now, this has been what is being said by quite a few, not just Dems. It's not okay. It's definitely not okay for either side. But now that something much more solid is showing up which definitely shits on the anti-Trump parade, why are you posting "both sides do it" stuff?
I don't think you're actually making a point, here. What exactly is your point?
Edit - I think I understand, more, now. But it does not make sense to even associate me with the shit-slinging that goes on. I'm shitting on both sides of the aisle, not one or the other. You are still on about "this is what both parties do", to which I say, "IDGAF, tell hell with both."
I propose "not Democrats or Republicans", as was in my opening post.

It's those types of posts that can in the back in forth arguments is what I'm saying. I said that wasn't your intent.
That's why we aren't ditching the parties is my point. They're too busy posting "you're party sucks more" articles to realize that both parties have goods ideas and bad ones.
Not at all. calm down. What I want is for you to explain what kind of party system or way of running the country that is better than our two party system. I honestly just want to know your opinion. Not bashing you at all.
I'm clearly not upset and I don't think you are, either. You only do this when I call you out on your bullshit, though, which is telling of why you're doing it.
This is not what I talked about. This is not what I suggested. This is not what I wish to talk about, either. But I think you knew that. You're wanting to make my point something it wasn't to make your own point. You're moving the goalposts, sort of? Red herrings? Strawman?
So make your point. Or if you just made an honest mistake, no worries.
And I have provided it. You're asking me to address a point I never made so you can play gotcha and I'm just not interested in doing it.
Well then, take a less condescending tone in your debate style. You tend to start questioning people's intelligence and coming off as a bit of jerk. It doesn't really bother me but I try to make it a point to say that I am attacking no one. I haven't ever tried any "bullshit" (see what I mean?) but I don't enjoy being talked down to. If you can't see that that is what you are doing, then it is more telling of your character than mine. If it's not meant to be dickish, then I'll never bring it up again.

What is this supposed to mean if not to get rid of them? I understand not voting for a Dem/Rep just because that's what they are, but are they not going to represent your interests if that is the party you favor?
Interesting poll suggesting that perhaps Americans are ready for an 8 party system, as they've created little sub-groups for people beyond just "republican" or "democrat" or "conservative" or "liberal".
Re: Re: Russian Dossier: Paid for by HRC and the DNC
1. Hell no.
2. When you start off with a condescending tone in a thread and make 3 posts in a row, you should definitely expect someone to be questioning your motives and not trust you as being honest.
Quote it where I did this to you.
See my point #2 for why I responded with a bit snark.
It bothers you a bit, actually. It's noticeable. You've spent quite a bit of time personally attacking me, at this point. So you're clearly bothered a bit by this.
You clearly have. I think you were bored so you wanted to play gotcha for a bit. Similar to your "subjective" word game about UBI.
Great. Where did I do that to you, again?
Not dickish, at all. Just responded to your condescension and what appears to be trolling-boredemn.
According to research, they are not representing my interests unless I am very rich or a lobbyist for someone very rich (or a company that has lots of money). This is part of why the anti-corruption movement is making waves.
