Fellers, I've got a fence post in my yard that's smarter than me but even  I know that politicians will say anything to get elected.  Red or Blue makes no difference.  If they think it's what will get your vote... that's what they spew.  They really only care about one thing...getting rich and staying that way.

Each "base" is shown the absolute nut jobs from the other side and told, "This is what those psycho folks are ALL like ".  Not every democrat wants open borders, no guns, no police, or that other ignorant shit.  Not every republican wants zero abortion, mandatory religious indoctrination in schools, zero culpability for presidents.  

I see one of the major problems is social media magnifying those fringers cause common sense dont get clicks.

Politics in general, seems to have adopted the credo; "Oh, you don't need to fight with them, you just need to convince the torch people that the pitchfork people want to take away their torches."

I have a question for you G-man but it starts with a bit of an explanation. In the stock market, whenever you sell stock, there is a counterparty. For you to sell, somebody has to buy.

Bearing in mind that arguing is pretty much the same way, why did you single out wombat?

Haha! 😁Didn't mean to really single out killer wombat, although he has been on a roll lately but if I had to mention everyone, it would probably be a long list, but I did mention last 2 stroke and Aplman. Did you miss that?  😁

It's comments lIke that and you're other line "little man" (Just cuz I'm not a BIG FATTY like you)  as well as you always correcting people endlessly for years on end that give the impression that you "think" you're superior to others. 

Yet I have asked you for years to provide a simple picture of you recently riding a dirt bike or any motorcycle, and you have failed misererably on that request on a DIRTBIKE FORUM. 😂

Yep.  I'll add that when the candidates repeatedly tell us how bad their opponent is and how great they are by comparison...it just sounds like 8 year olds on the playground.  It's honestly just plain ignorant.

Just as bad are the "promises".  Tell me what you "want" to do.  They aren't fucking wizards or gods.  Remember, "No new taxes"?  The country, the world, the fabric of our existence is in constant flux.  Don't promise shit...just do the best you can with the hand you're dealt.  I can respect that.

I heard a song last night with a pretty cool hook..."I want to do right...but not right now".😉

This is vital, even if we were 100% aligned on something, we’d find a way to argue

My "side" would immediately throw down an executive order, overturning the plea deal just allowed for the three 9-11 terrorists to avoid a death penalty.

 

Then, I contract Rob O'Neill to go pay them a visit.

What makes my side correct is accepting election results whether they win or lose. Until 2016, this meant I could analyze their policies and choose who I liked the best. I voted for Democrats and Republicans. Policy is out the window now. Only one side will accept results whether they win or lose. If POTUS 45 loses, he will say it’s rigged and call for violence. If the current VP wins, she will oversee the certification of her election loss and go on her way, despite, according to POTUS 45, having the sole ability as acting VP to throw out electoral votes if she loses and ensure she wins. I hope to one day get back to policy being the deciding factor.

Trump didn’t call for violence when he lost in 2020…so what makes you think he’ll call for violence IF he loses in 2024?

One way or the other, I’m excited for the Trump era to be over…

Republicans didn’t leave $7-20 Billion in weapons in Afghanistan…depending on what reports you go with. The Biden administration says all the aircraft were disabled…

Overly compelling evidence and video proof that the 2020 Election was stolen and rigged by Democrats. That's how I know the Republicans are on the side of the people.

Libertarian since 1984!  The D and R teams are the problem.  Way too much government on both of their sides with their power drunk career politicians.  Look at them old a**holes, all old af and corrupt to the core.  Pelosi, McConnell, they all accrued generational wealth for their families while “serving” the public.

I can't wait for the Trump era to be over with, either. Just elect the effing guy so he can't keep running! Sheesh! 

I hate both parties. The Republicans would be great because of their constitutionality, belief in the rule of law, fact-based governance, etc. BUT: neo-theocracy, the desire to raid Social Security, some bigotry, etc. Yuck. 
The Democrats are, at least on paper, more likely to be tolerant, supportive of equality, fair, etc. BUT: Their idealism leads toward a woke, socialist hellhole. Super Yuck! 
Corruption and self-interest plagues both sides.

Agreed. Someone put together a video comparing the Obama/Romney/McCain debates vs the Trump/Biden ones and my god what the hell happened. We have different ideas, and that used to be fine, there was still respect and class there. Now its all over the top, the other side is evil, and a vote for them is a vote for the end of the country as we know it. It started with Trump, but both sides are guilty of it.
