When, right before you fill out that absentee voter ballot?

I'm just giving you shit. If I thought you being a US citizen was important, I wouldn't entertain our political discussions at all.

I see.
How do you feel about the fact that even though I am German I have still a better shot at becoming the president of the US than a gay person? 😐

I think that as much empasis as you put on the strict interpretation of the constitution, we both know that's contrary to your politics.

Wouldn't know how much. I shall take that into account in evaluating the candidates though....as a sort of Russian Clinton Roullette.Still, strictly going by views, I'd take Romney, MCCain and even Huckabee over Clinton.
I wasn't passing it off as reasonable grounds in deciding.
Strict views are probably the best tool for weighing and measuring a candidate, never mind that they won't do or be able to do the majority of what they ran on, once in office.

I don't actually. Ron Paul does. He arrives at my conclusions using the constitution in large parts, I couldn't really give two ****s about it except where it furthers my point.

Or a non-Christian.

You don't actually have interest in political debate, do you?
Hillary's health care plan makes the most sense to me because I think it's smart to both raise quality and lower costs before heading towards universal health care. The U.S. spends more on health care than any other industrialized nation. There needs to be more preventative health care, because all too many of the diseases people get can be easily averted if we just stop being fatasses.

Yeah, see, you stating your political ideas, I opposing them with mine that would be political debate, which is what you don't seem to be interested in. It's nothing bad, you don't need to discuss your opinions, just thought we could, seeing as you are apparently the only Hillary supporter here that voices their opinion at least to some extent.
Originally posted by Bardock42Well I'm an officer in the College Democrats at my school and the Chapter head of Students for Hillary Clinton, so I get into plenty of debates with people, I just don't really have the time to do it online very much.

That's because Hillary Clinton dominates normal politics, so it's easy to support her there. Online debates are a different story...everybody has access to all the facts if they really want to use them. That's tough on most candidates, especially Hillary 😂

Around a year ago, you thought Obama should be the next president, what happened with Obama and/or Hillary since then that makes you support her first now?
