Do you think Obama will lose the election?

and do you care?

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 11 Oct 2012, 12:17

no, i don't think he will lose. it's kind of hard for me to care all that much, at least if we're just talking about obama vs. romney, anyway.

Haunty · Post by **Haunty** » 11 Oct 2012, 13:13

We're only past the first debate. Foreign policy is still coming up, and I don't see how Romney's going to possibly run away with that one.

Fuck Mitt Romney.

Haunty · Post by **Haunty** » 11 Oct 2012, 14:06

I don't think Obama is the answer to all life's questions, but I'm pretty sure Romney is the wrong answer to most of them.

Obama will not lose the election and I do not care (even though I am voting for Romney).

Grudge · Post by **Grudge** » 12 Oct 2012, 05:08

If you don't care then why are you voting

neckred · Post by **neckred** » 12 Oct 2012, 07:37

Obama will probably win

it's puppet on the left vs puppet on the right of course, but Mittens and his flip flopping, and the Republican stand on gay marriage has rubbed me the wrong way

I received a pamphlet for the Republican party in my mail, it read more like a Christian fundamentalist pamphlet

how "they're" trying to "ruin our families" with gay marriage

last I checked, if gay marriage was legal, it wouldn't magically make straight marriage illegal

Holocaust · Post by **Holocaust** » 12 Oct 2012, 09:26

As if straight marriages were sooooooo successful overall in the first place...

neckred · Post by **neckred** » 12 Oct 2012, 09:54

and people often use the argument

"what if someone wants to marry their dog? should that be legal too?"

I just reply "a dog isn't a person"

any human over 18 should be able to marry the human of their choice over 18

Ironically Romney ended up being one of the only sane republicans the past few years.

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 26 Oct 2021, 00:30

he's just as insane as the rest, he just brands himself as a Reasonable Republican™ and MSNBC types are happy to amplify that perception because it aligns with their political goals (bolstering conservative power to ensure the donor class stays fat and happy)

"he is an old-guard fat cat and a douchebag of the first magnitude" and "he is just as insane as the people who believe in Q and every other formerly radical idea increasingly mainstream for an increasingly disturbing political party" is not one of your better takes

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 26 Oct 2021, 02:28

eh, he was perfectly happy to flirt with birther currents when it was politically advantageous to do so. sure it's not q, but there's no need for us to pretend he's averse to promulgating conservative conspiracy narratives just because he doesn't specifically endorse the current flavor of the month.

Mesarthim · Post by **Mesarthim** » 26 Oct 2021, 05:38

don't get me wrong - I wouldn't vote for him even if he ran in a local election.

but compared to the current crop of republicans.... yikes, what a contrast.

His son is guilty as sin for one

Border crisis increasing cartel power, inflation due to irresponsible spending, supply chain issues do to appointing incompetent people not covid despite what some think, do I need to go on? He has done nothing as president to address this country’s issues.

I loathe both parties because nobody gives a shit about us only yheir party’s power or their iwn power in bag of diarrhea inside another, bigger bag of diarrhea’s case.

Noyka · Post by **Noyka** » 26 Oct 2021, 06:30

I am expecting hom to appoint competent people

Also at least admit there are crises he doesn’t even admit there is a border crisis. He is absolutely as dirty and corrupt as bag of diarrhea inside another, bigger bag of diarrhea is both of them should be in jail with Hunter.

I am very angry nobody cares about the people so pardon my bluntness today is one of those days I am reminded of shit.

Noyka · Post by **Noyka** » 26 Oct 2021, 06:35

Basically our system is broken and neither party no politician wants to address our multiple issues

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 26 Oct 2021, 07:10

i think it's perfectly fine to criticize biden. he absolutely could unfuck a great deal of the damage of the last 20 years, and unilaterally at that. he chooses not to do so, and there is no reason to expect him to govern any differently over the next three years.

democrats do not govern, that is the role of republicans. in the era of capitalist triumphalism, democrats basically exist to ensure the left is completely shut out from political power. and of course they put on a nice little show like they're trying to do this or that, and we swear we really want to do something, but gosh, the senate and the supreme court are just being real mean. but uhh, keep voting for us, we swear we'll get it next time!

i think at this point my contention would be that the political system isn't broken at all, it's functioning more or less exactly as its owners expect it to. we just had the misfortune of being born at a time where outmoded assumptions about what american government is and does are still prevalent in popular discourse. but if those assumptions were ever valid, they certainly aren't anymore.

Well done, well done

Personally, I would like to avoid any dumb political opinions I may have expressed in the past.
