Current Events > Seriously, I detest anyone that supports or say they are republican

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's almost 4 years with this bull.

When we have the next election in Nov, I am going to look at the vote tally and conclude how many people in this country have no awareness whatsoever

In 2016, 50% of eligible voting block didn't vote.
50% of all who voted, voted Trump.
So in total, only 25% of eligible voters out of 100% have their heads on right.

We can let 2016 go, but the 2020 elections are going to be the real truth about how many Americans can think properly.

If only election day was a national holiday or on the weekend like non voter suppressing countries

What makes you think that will get people to vote?

Just look at Bernie in the primaries. Young people can vote but they will never ever put in physical effort to actually go vote. It's been like this since the start.

Trump got 46.1% of the popular vote to hilarys 48.2%

Lol so you think people that went and voted for Hilldog are the only people "with their heads right"

Lmao

Who cares? At the end of the day, they won. If by 2020, the population doesnt wake up and turn up like the numbers for Obama, we are getting a second Trump term.

I just dont want it to be misrepresented that 50% of voters liked trump

they did not, and our fucked up electoral system gave him the win

Reminder that if hillary didnt use her deplorables line she would have won

I'm honestly getting more and more angry at conservatives.

There's always been horrific things that they do and people turn a blind eye too

But lately these aren't the exception, most of what the GOP is doing is horrific. The majority.

And conservatives just clap and scream insults and people.

It's sickening.

And the worst part is because conservatives don't care they always win.

Non conservatives do care and so get mad at their own party for doing horrible things, then don't vote.

It has never taken me more than 15 minutes to vote. And I early voted on a weekend.

Shit like this:

And you're okay with that? It doesn't bother you?

For the millionth time

Districts with more young voters were purposely designed to be as obstructive and difficult as possible to casting votes. There's evidence of this corruption all over.

Stop perpetuating this stupid rhetoric

The problem with this is Hiliary was a terrible candidate and Biden is even worse.

Not saying Trump is better mind you.

Real life is not black and white. If the system is rigged, everyone needs to do their share and vote these thugs out. Don't make excuses.

They don't vote cause they are as dumb as the republicans being conditioned to think 'it doesn't matter'.

There are a lot of things wrong with this country.

Just a few days ago, senators dumped stocks before the public knew about corona. The U.S is as corrupt as any other 3rd world country. At this rate, we're going to be a banana republic pretty soon.

In all fairness, liberals scream insults just as much. MAGAts, Trumpeters, Trumpanzees, the childish way people represent them here with things like b-b-buh libruls, etc.

1. No they don't.

2. This isn't a "both sides" issue.

For a start there's more than 2 sides. For a second, Democrats aren't even liberal.

For a 3rd and most important, the GOP are doing shit far far far far far far far far worse than anything the other "side" is doing.

Centralism is complete bullshit when one side is literally getting people killed and promoting idiocy

I mean TC is literally saying he detests people solely because of their political affiliation

"So in total, only 25% of eligible voters out of 100% have their heads on right." Quite the blanket statement there. I voted for Johnson cause the others sucked but this sounds like waaa waaaaa my girl didn't win so obviously you must be wrong wah

Centralism doesn't make you smart, it makes you intentionally blind.

Hell Trump's entire platform when campaigning was insulting everyone. His response to journalists is to insult them.

"We're owning the libs" is the justifcation for policies that make no sense.

You can't just ignore this

An economic depression will kill people too, dont fool yourself.

All this bitching about which side screams more than the others is negligible compared to a close look at their actual core beliefs and what they fight for, and the Republican party is basically...well, utterly foul from head to toe.

This isn't to say that liberal beliefs or the Democrat party are angels. They're still somewhere between 'pro-corporate, pro-war centrist elitists who compromise with the Skeksis in order to keep their political power' and 'too shy, ignorant or brainwashed to move further to the left'. But they're not, on the whole, the pure, crystalline embodiment of dysfunctional malignancy that the Republican party is.

No where near as many as a global pandemic. They're not even comparable.

And telling people not to distance themselves and go die so we can make some corporations some profit is absolutely sick and you should not defend it.

This is a virus that is a global pandemic.

The GOP is saying don't give people money, give corps money, bail them out and for some reason throw money at promoting abstience in schools. Meanwhile conservatives including Trump are giving out 100% false information about the virus and wanting things to reopen so innocent civilians can die.

This shit matters.

IT's not both sides, it's not unreasonable ,it's not blind hate.

Conservatives right now in power are being terrible and not valuing human life.

Just goes to show how a bad education system and non-stop brainwashing through the fox propaganda machine works for even Americans.

you can hate Republicans all you like, but you're just as [redacted] as they are for even being tribal over a political party in the first place, lmao. as long as you are on that partisan shit, you're just as [redacted] as everybody else doing the same thing.

A pandemic is global by definition and all it means is it's a new virus thats worldwide. It's happened before and it will sure as shit happen again.

And I agree, stay home if you can. But you my friend should turn off the news for a couple of days

Because you're "both sides"ing when one side is killing people for profit while insulting people and the other is trying to save lives while not insulting people.

You're not smarter because you're ignoring this, quite the opposite. The Dems are not telling people to go put themselves in danger and then insulting people.

Yes it will. So let's be prepared for it.

And it was conservatives who removed all the prepreations we had (that the democrats set up) and then downplayed and continue to downplay and lie about it while people die in increasing numbers.

"It will happen again so it doesn't matter how horrible conservatives are." is nonsense logic

And I agree, stay home if you can. But you my friend should turn off the news for a couple of days

Yeah I'm not surprised the pro-conservative stance is to ignore the news while justifying everything that makes no sense by ignoring it.

Says it all right there.

Republicans:

• chinese virus, lol
• social distancing is a hoax. go out more
• god will heal you.
• let's short the market before the public knows how bad this is
• Barr: lets try to amend the constitution and reduce rights of the sheep/citizen
• 4 million tests going to be out
• spring will kill the virus
• lets sneak in some easy handout for corporations. who cares if they buy back their stock with the bailout money
• lets also sneak in a clause to deny the disclosure of which companies got bailout money

Also republicans: but the democrats are doing all these horrible things

It will happen again. Therefore everything horrific the conservatives do is fine for some reason...

Tribalism mmm mmm good

If you hate individual people with relatively no power for picking a political side you are part of the problem. Stop treating politics like sports.

And believing that only people you agree with are good is a sign that you probably aren't the best person to listen to.

But the Dems ARE insulting people. You seem to turn a blind eye to that and deflect by saying its not a both sides issue, when all Im saying is that liberals arent the shining gem of perfection while conservatives are the big mean bully. Im not saying that conservatives dont also insult people; just that liberals do it just as much. That is all, and theres nothing else to my statement

Absolutely no one is saying they a "gem of perfection."

But you're saying "Liberals do it just as much" and that simply isn't true.

That's the both sideing that doesn't make you smart and above it, it makes you intentionally willfully ignorant.

Hell you're flat out ignoring the points I raised about Trump's entire election platform and his insulting of journalists and the GOP insulting people promoting basic virus protections just go "nah it's both sides."

The GOP right now is worse than any other political group in America and they have power. That is scary and horrific.

can you imagine if we didn't have the house? Barr and McConnell will be dining on the backs of trump voters right now.

All right, maybe its just this board and Twitter where any mention of the right triggers a wave of salty insults

I'm willing to bet that if voting ballots were done online, you'd see a lot more younger people voting.

Older people just like being able to physically go to/touch things, younger people prefer doing things digitally/over the internet.
