mrdannyg 274 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 So is Cruz basically just the version of Trump that Trump pretends he is, minus the wealth/fame/hot wife? Trump is a buffoon who is more likely to start a war than help the economy, but is most likely just to sit on a throne and be laughed at and ignored for 4 years. Cruz has the knowledge and ideals to actually put some really scary shit in place. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 He isn't an actual tranny. It's just Bruce Jenner in Drag. Then why is Spade using female pronouns!

mrdannyg 274 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Good question actually. Obvious answer seems to be Cruz, so he can be king of his homeland. Then again, Trump keeps saying he wants to build a wall in Mexico, but not in Canada...if you're looking to invade someone, wouldn't you build a wall at your back to charge forward? Kasich wouldn't do it...he's too quiet and well-spoken...he sees a kinship with us. Rubio seems like an unobvious choice, but Canada's full of oil and water, and you know his establishment backers would love to get control of all those sweet sweet natural resources. You've given me a lot to think about brvy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 You're missing the most obvious answer, DG. When President Bern makes his first trip north, he and Trudeau drop their facades, and reveal their true status as Trotskyites. They dissolve both the American and Nuck Constitutions, establish ComIntern 2.0 in DC, and Chairman Sanders becomes leader of the United Soviet Socialist States of North America (USSSNA) 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Spademan 94 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Then why is Spade using female pronouns! Because it costs me nothing. What the fuck do I care if someone prefers to be called, or thinks of themselves, as a he or a she? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

"HAHA THAT GUY NOBODY TAKES THAT GUY SERIOUSLY!" - Republicans. If the Democrats are retarded enough to persist with that tack (they aren't), he wins the presidency. "HAHA HE'S JUST THE PRESIDENT WHO CARES WE'RE ALL TOOOOTALY LAUGHING AT HIM!" The only problem they run into is if they nominate Hillary Clinton (which they will), she will have a hard time fighting him head on since her baggage outweighs the fears of most people have about Trump and she is an incredibly not-compelling public speaker. At this point in history, the anger vote is much stronger than gender solidarity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I think what threw them was my write in answer for abortion: the government shouldn't concern itself with abortion, but it makes sense to evaluate the actual abortress herself and regulate the process based on how she performs in IQ tests. The most disturbing thing about abortion isn't the process itself. It's that it's always the wrong women who are and aren't having them. From everything I've read, abortions rates are highest among poor African-Americans...and from what I've always gathered, I would think you would be happy about that. I also think it was Freakonomics that made the case that a side effect of Roe v. Wade was a drop in crime. Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 The first 3 core values on their website are impressively contradictory and non-scientific, which isn't really surprising, since their contradictions seem to eschew actual science for conservative morality.

A more honest discussion about Democratic Socialism is how it stands little chance of working in a "diverse" society where the economic output is stratified between ethnic groups, meaning that they will always be at odds with each other with the lower blaming the higher and the higher resenting the lower for demanding "free stuff" while offering society nothing of economic value beyond the ever-cheapening value of their labor. Nobody wants to have that conversation, though. Link to post Share on other sites
