Duke Being Put To Pasture?

It's not that Trump is all that great besides some of his financial and deregulation policies, but the Dems are an absolute fucking train wreck with no purpose or direction besides, "orange man bad.
Even neocon establishment sleepy creepy Joe will get destroyed in debates.

Gen Graves: "Duke, the aliens have taken the president"
Duke: "You mean that creepy old pedo, Biden? They can keep him."
Gen Graves: "But Duke...."
Duke: "No. Fuck that guy. Tell the vice president to swear in, I'm going home."

Let us not forget that there has been a three way schismatic split developing in the Democrat party that gets worse every single day.

NEVER FORGET THIS MAP.

Most of that red space is very sparsely populated.

Anyways guys, I get that Trump won in 2016 when the establishment said he wouldn't, but I think you are drawing way too much confidence from that. That same overconfidence was on display in some quarters in the run up to the 2018 congressional elections, and Republicans got trounced pretty badly. One big difference this time around is that Trump will be a known quantity. Hint: that's not a positive.

DT, were you a Trump voter in 2016? I wasn't posting during the last election cycle so I never caught which side you fell on.

Population density doesn't matter. Electoral votes do.

That "overconfidence" wasn't mine. I'm not a Republican. I'm a MAGA Man. Republicans lose because they're not Trump. The Republicans that firmly expressed MAGA did much better than the Never Trumpers.

I didn't vote in 2016. I was pretty disgusted when he got the Republican nomination and checked out of the process after that. I know that people often complain about having a terrible choice between the two major parties, but this was the first time that it was so bad for me that I actually didn't vote.

At least I wrote in a candidate (Rand Paul). Doesn't matter, this faggot state is a winner-take-all blue haven because of all the soy-queers in Seattle.

Hey Nansci, are you one of those weird Hungarians who think Transylvania is under Romanian occupation? :)


Of course. Romania before 1920: crescent roll, Romania since 1920: bread roll, Romania in the near future: bread crumbs :D

Seriously though, Greater Hungary had too many different minorities, in that form it wasn't a sustainable country (along with the flawed torso of Austro-Hungarian Empire). However the Treaty of Trianon (along with the Treaty of Versailles and other "treaties" of that time) was one of the most cancerous acts in human history, the "winners" of WWI really wanted to embarrass the losing side which resulted perpetual conflict in mid-Europe and was highly responsible for WWII.

I'm not actively doing anything that would help prevent Trump's reelection. I'm not trying to help it either. Maybe I'll pull a Forge and throw my vote away on a libertarian. I just sit on the sidelines and make useless observations.

Politicians are much better at their job than the 99% of average people would be in their position. Imagine a dimwitted labourer with minority complexes as someone with power. Welcome to the communism again. It tried this idea, and the result was 100 million deaths.

Ayyy lamo,,,, assuming dekulakization ever gave simple laborers 'power'. As Thomas Sowell once said, random names out of a phonebook are better equipped for Congress than our current slate.

This adds a different shade to everything you've posted thus far on Trump. I don't expect anything from never-Trumpers, but know that his opponent will be a commie this time. Ignore that if you will.

I think too many Republican incumbents stupidly believed the media that said 8-10 months before the elections that Republicans were going to get trashed for reasons x,y and z in a "Blue Wave". It became a self fulfilling prophecy. Spineless wimps didn't run for re-election and lost the House and many more local positions.

I'm frustrated at guys like Dan who chose to stay home because Trump was the candidate. I would hope that fear of the Democrat's plans would have prompted him to vote for Trump anyway. Staying home to teach the party a lesson doesn't work. It just hands the reigns of power to the other side. Taking the moral high ground may just be helping the party without any morals run the country. Yes, it would be great if we didn't have to vote for the lesser of 2 evils but that is what it has come down to these days. Make a choice, vote.

It would be a problem in the U.S. where Democrats don't support 'common sense' voter ID laws.

You throw your vote away by not using it.
I did some research and determined who I thought would best serve as president at the time and wrote their name in. Don't care if you agree on the wisdom of it.

No offense was intended. I don't actually believe that votes for third parties are "thrown away" any more or less than votes for major parties are. Anarchy, State and Utopia -- basically the modern Libertarian bible -- was one of my favorite books in grad school and I wish it were required High School reading alongside Rawls.

Some countries have a more preferential voting system, so that even if your first choice doesn’t get in, your vote still has a say.

It works better in a monarchy. I mean, the Duke of Edinburgh is now 98 years old and still not being put to pasture.

You know perfectly well why they don't and it's not just US but probably the entire Europe too. That said, in Japan commies actually want foreigners to vote as well (only citizens have the right to vote, though zainichi Koreans are the most vocal foreigners that want to have voting rights since they don't need to become citizens to live in Japan).

Common sense is the biggest enemy of Democrats or even Republicans in US, for obvious reasons of course. But I don't think USA would ever implement such system, just like it would never prohibit dual citizenship or prohibit people who have dual citizenships to hold any kind of positions in the government.

A person has to be a natural born US citizen to be president, or we probably would have had Arny running the country at some point.

President isn't the only person that run the country though, the entire US government is full of people with dual citizenship, even some high military positions are occupied by people with dual citizenship in US (and I'm pretty sure even foreigners can serve in US military just as well). But anyway, you knew what I was talking about. :D

More like the media mind games. They greatly contribute to his image which is rather false, probably even more than Trump himself.

Hilarious how most people forgot that Trump was a media darling, friend of the Democrats, and a popular Hollywood/TV/music personality prior to 2016.
Then he won a competition against a vagina and all that changed. He went from an intelligent well liked person to a toxic idiot.

You can tell who is brainwashed by looking at their media parrot posts.

Trump is okay. Not great, not horrible. The only difference is he isn't a career political criminal, he's a career businessman criminal. That's just my opinion from policy observation, I don't care about how triggered he makes people with his twitter trolling. It's unprofessional, and the people that are the targets are unprofessional. Plenty of immature behavior to go around.
