If that's the case, then any poster here should have a great chance at being president.
OOTB's Political Thread . ..
- Thread starter BillyL
- Start date
I just think with Bernie or any candidate it is helpful to consider what states he can win in that Trump won (Hillary largely avoided) in '16. I'm not saying Bernie can't win in any of these states.... he has massive appeal to the under-30 crowd, and in urban areas. These are the people / states he'll need to win over. States like Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
We expect better from the OOTB Mayor than we do the president.
The shit trump spouts every day should disqualify him, but his supporters eat it up.
Vote for me. I can actually deliver on the free strippers and blow. Just sayin...
I've never made a political poast on here in my life, so nobody knows where I stand, and I plan on keeping it that way. I make my voice heard through my vote, and that's it. I choose to keep silent simply because it does nobody, including myself, any good to talk about it, and that's evident with all the noise that's been on this ****ing board over the past eternity.
Well you were a shitty candidate if that makes you feel better. The other guy promised hookers and blow.
I agree. I think Bernie is more popular in those areas because he actually addresses the issues of working class people, while Hillary comes across as an elitist that only wants the corporate money/support.
Bernie won Wisconsin in the primary, but its hard to use the primaries as a metric considering all of the shenanigans that took place with the DNC.
I can't deliver until I'm elected. You'll just have to trust me. I can even get you one with hairy nipples since that's what you're into.
And many people support Bernie's policies. If people can ignore trump saying stupid shit every day, then they can probably ignore something stupid that Bernie said 20 years ago.
I'm over that phase. She is still hot though. I'm a big boob guy however. Remember I like a hair free woman, we've had this discussion before.
Give me your vote, and we all motorboat.
I don't think as many people as you think support his ideas. Sure NY, Ca and the like do but not middle America. He'd be hard pressed to win any of the states Trump won especially the way the economy is going right now.
I would need to brush up on the numbers but the last I read, Americans seemed to support most of his policies. One major caveat is the impact on taxes, implying that much of the spending would need to come from reallocation at the current level of spending, as opposed to raising taxes to pay for it.
Who would've thought my million dollar idea would come from OOTB?...
I know this post is meant to be mostly a joke, but to me it seemed obvious that there was at least a little political slant to it.
Government isn't going to fix a lot of a problems. I don't have the time to delve into a policy debate today. He means well but his ideas will stifle American Innovation and Exceptionalism. They would never work on a large scale. I do think there needs to be reform and I do think some form of UHC is coming.
This is a like except for I want no part of UHC
I listened enough to know you guys are a bunch of freaks and drug addicts.
The system is broken. It will come. Paying for insurance is going to cost more and more every year. We fuct up badly on this front. We used to be able to brag about superior HC and outcomes, but even that is beginning to fade.
I'm busy too, so fair enough. No need to get into the weeds. My simple counter would be that getting more people access to education would increase our innovation, because more people would have access to the means they need to innovate.
My only criticism, or caveat to that is... what KIND of "education" are they getting?
I got a shitload of indoctrination in school. And, it took a concerted effort on my part to resist it then, and shake-it-out afterward.
However, I do agree that improving one's intellectual capacity is a very good thing to do!
Good point. Lots of improvements need to be made at our universities to ensure its actually beneficial to attend them. Personally I think certain programs at tech schools should be tuition free for students who graduate high school with a certain GPA. If you want to study dance then that's on you, but we need more plumbers, electricians and welders. For now at least. Then if students who complete their two year program are qualified, they can get financial aid to finish a BA/BS at a university. Its cheaper and weeds out the people that aren't qualified to be there.
@gteeitup being right is fake news.
he just poasted about newsom and bloomberg ffs...he’s not left either...he’s transpolitical or politi-bi.
We still talking politics here?
I vaguely remember it...you like John Wayne clean shaven?
I'm more of a libertarian than anything else. I don't know if you would consider that "on the right" or not.
As far as "Liberal" goes; Keep in mind that the Founding Fathers were extremely liberal... at the time. By liberal, I mean,it was a fairly brazen idea. A self-governing nation separate from the British Crown was hardly "conservative."
Me, freak yeap, drug addict nope, never touched the stuffed. You get half credit.
