Who will you vote for?(Lee/McMullin)

[LogGrad98]

The worst of this we ever saw was during the great depression. Remember how America turned back into tribal states with hordes of savages choosing the new leaders in a thunder dome? Oh yeah, I don't remember that either. Somehow society made it through, Of course we had leaders at the time more concerned with, you know, governing, than they were about the next election or twitter. Unfortunately, we do not have that now. So I guess this is more prescient for us now, isn't it, with inept leadership at the top levels (ALL of the top levels, legislative, judicial, and executive) for going on 7 years now destroying the underpinnings of our society and democracy. One destroyed the rule of law and wiped his *** with the constitution, the next destroyed the economy. What the hell is next? Scary thought, actually.

Will this thread turn into tonight’s election results watch party?

I know it’s been stated before, but America isn’t the only country with inflation. And crime in general is still far lower now than in past decades. But when you have no platform or plans beyond trolling the left and tax cuts for top donors, none of this matters. And when you see politics as a game and use it to insult those you have grievances against, then tonight should be pretty enjoyable.

I don't remember a thunder dome, but I do remember that period resulting in a rejection of term limits resulting in our only four term president. I remember the Judicial Branch nearly being destroyed but only being spared due to the 'Switch in Time that Saved Nine'. I do remember that period resulting in a real plotted coup attempt before it was foiled by Smedly Butler. I do remember it becoming punishable by prison sentence to call a politician "fascist". I do remember it becoming illegal for some businesses to set their prices as a dry cleaner went to jail for charging too little for cleaning a shirt. I do remember that period having labor laws installed for the express purpose of keeping less favored ethnicities from competing with favored ethnicities in a tough job market. I do remember some ethnicities being rounded up in prison camps in that era. I do remember nearly half a million Americans dying in the war the financial instability spawned. I remember the only use in anger in human history of atomic weapons.

The damage the democrat majority house, democrat majority controlled senate, and democrat president have done should not be taken lightly.

You guys are brave to watch this tonight. My guess is we might not know the full picture of the senate for a couple days. No doubt in my mind that much of the evening will be about R’s wrestling the house back which seems a certainty.

Inflation *IS* the crumbling of the entire foundation of our Democratic Republic. We are our economy. Communism is an economic system, as is socialism, feudalism, fascism, and as is our system. From our army to our technical and medical innovations. all of it has been driven by the way our economy was set up. The democrat majority controlled House, democrat majority controlled Senate, and the weekend-at-Bernie's democrat that we all pretend is president have wrecked the economy. Inflation is through the roof. Unemployment is ticking up. Huge companies are beginning to announce massive layoffs. The Fed isn't anywhere close to the end of continuing to tighten the belt. This is ALL democrats. Democrats did this. The top three issues on voters minds are inflation, the economy, and crime, and everyone knows that advantages the republicans because the democrats are at fault for breaking all of them. This election is easy; Throw the bums out!

Spew more.

A post I made to Facebook from November 8th 2016 came up today.
This is what I posted:

I just want to ask everyone that no matter who wins the election we all give that person a chance to do a good job or not do a good job before we start hating them.
Don't pre-hate our new president. Forget about their past, let go of your hate, and support him or her at least to begin with until they give you good reason not to support them for things they do as president.
Democrat, repub, liberal, independent or whatever label you put on yourself, we are all Americans and all in this together.

Love not hate

And how did that go?

If the Democratic party trotted out the same kind of clowns the Republicans have, like MTG, Oz, Gaetz and Walker I would either not cast a vote on that race or vote for the Republican if they were reasonable people, like McMullin (an actual Republican running as an independent), or Romney, or Cox, or Cheney. Not to mention the senators who lost their seat the last go around because they didn't sniff Trump's farts hard enough.

How can people unironically vote for MTG? How can they listen to her speak and think, "yup!"? (Yeah I don't really know how to punctuate that correctly)

McMullin (an actual Republican running as an independent), or Romney, or Cox, or Cheney.

All "republicans" and trash.

The left puts out gems like Biden and Fetterman...

 

[fishonjazz]

And how did that go?

I rooted for trump for a while, then found that him being president only made him more of a douchebag than he was prior to being president and I hated him again.
I will always root for our president, whether I vote for them or not, until they give me good reason not to.

Lauren Boebert gonna lose? LOL

This certainly isn’t turning out to be a “red wave.” Usually the party in power loses a bunch of seats. Dems are flipping governor’s mansions, holding onto senate seats, and largely holding their own in the House.

The sooner republicans realize that they should drop the Trumpy freak shows and get back to the normal tough on national security Reagan conservatives, the better off they’ll be. There’s a lot of well informed/educated people who won’t be freaked out by those types of republicans. These freaky ones just don’t have much attraction outside of trailer parks and the south.
