I'm arguing that it's not available to prosecute a president and that I agree that it shouldn't be. Ah, somehow I legit missed that and took your "people can't be denied their choice" thing as still about impeachment. anyway you're making a great case for violent overthrow of the government here, which is cool, but i doubt it's intentional --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

In the past, South Carolina didn't hold a presidential election and the legislature simply appointed the electors. oh so it's not like the san andreas faultline opens up as california's mouth and hoarsely calls out, "clinton/kaine 2016" so just to clarify here, what you actually mean is that a couple hundred random electors can't be denied their choice of president, no matter how many laws that president breaks? --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

Also btw Jakyl I definitely don't think you personify the liberal mindset that is offputting to the swing vote though, despite being pretty heavily liberal leaning.

Though tbh calling someone a bigot is just shorthand for "someone who does bigoted things" in the same way that baker is just shorthand for "person who bakes a lot", so I don't think there's nearly as much of a distinction between calling an action bigoted and calling a person bigoted as this implies. Like I'm thinking the same thing in both cases, it's honestly just a matter of phrasing. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

Kenri 05/29/18 4:43:00 PM #292 | Lopen posted... Now I couldn't vote Trump, but instead of Hillary I voted Gary Johnson because despite identifying as liberal more than conservative I agree with Gary on enough that I legit think he was the best choice in that shit show. Yeah it's a wasted vote and less damaging than jumping to Trump, but it's a vote they could've had easily with a different presentation of the party. Sure, but any politician/party could convince one swing voter by changing some key issues. How do you know they wouldn't lose 2 votes gaining your 1? Lopen posted... That kinda phrasing being the one you instinctively use when approaching the hypothetical is kind of the problem. It's not about whether the guy is factually bigoted or not (you, in the hypothetical, don't really know)-- it's about how quickly the jump was made to call the guy bigoted, why it was brought up in a random conversation, etc etc. If the hypothetical is just assuming I'm calling someone a bigot with no reasoning behind it, then yeah I'm ridiculous in that strawman of a scenario. Since that isn't worth replying to, I'm assuming me in the hypothetical at least has good reason to claim it. Is that the issue here? --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

It matters if you offend swing voters, the people who choose our government.
