Yawn

Yeah dude I voted against the last 8 years and against Hillary. Was that a secret? You gonna be voting for Macron or against Le Pen? Be honest frenchie

You don't see the problem with that? People voted against the last 8 years of Bush, then the last 8 years of Obama, and all that happens is a tag-team gangbang. Maybe, just maybe, that's an ill-informed rationale for voting. Should be weighing the candidates on their relative merits. I'd have taken another 4-8 years of Obama over what we ended up with any day. Obviously we're not going to agree on that point and I think we both know why. Oh well, enjoy drinking your toxic fucked-up frackwater and breathing radioactive mercury-laden coal dust.

Environment was issue #1 for me and there's no defending Trump or the GOP on that one.

I think what Donald Trump said during the election still stands:

"I could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any (supporters)".

There's really nothing this guy can say or do that would shake the support of his base. Most of them admire Putin anyway and probably wouldn't give a shit if Russia did help Trump win the election.

Favorable view of Putin among Republicans up to 37%

The MSM lies cheats and steals every day to push the liberal narrative 24 7, and I am supposed to care about Russia releasing emails that should have been public anyways? Not

I voted for Kasich in the primary. Obviously the country disagreed with me

I could've not voted. In Texas, it didn't matter. My #1 issue is the professor who was sent to the ER by liberal protestors. Your condescension and hatred of people who disagree with you reminds me of being a Baha'i growing up in Iran. I'm terrified of liberals. You're hiveminded dummies who are already becoming violent based on politics. I care about the environment as well but the "white privilege" this and "everyone who disagrees with me is a racist" mentality is more important IMO. All the things that made America better than Iran are fading away due to the current left of center political climate. I get hating candidates, but y'all hate everyone who votes for them. My wife and family voted Hillary. Oddly enough, my father voted for trump. Anyway, I don't believe you could get along with a republican. I don't believe 95% of democrats could. Simply put, you guys strike me as fascists in the style of Iranian islamists and until y'all stop protesting, demonizing, and violently assaulting those who disagree with you I'm pretty much done with the democrats. Y'all need Bill Clinton back badly

Most Democrats wanted Bernie Sanders -- not more neoliberal identity politics. You see, there is this organization called the DNC (the elite that keeps the left under control and the plebs in their place) that rigged the election for Hillary. Not only the behind the scenes shenanigans -- but right out in the open with their bullshit "super delegate" and "delegate" system that subverts what most Democrats wanted.

The last thing we need is another Bill Clinton. The Clintons are more or less - libertarians masquerading as progressives. If you think that all society needs is a few more black and women CEOs -- then you agree with the Clintons.

Also,

You need to stop taking the most extreme nutballs you can find that identify as Democrat, and then painting the millions of people that vote that way as an exact carbon copy of them.

Most Republicans have jobs, houses, and families, or live in rural areas where it's difficult to rabble rouse. What are you going to burn down a McDonalds - your town's only fine dining establishment? I don't think I need to explain to you why violence and rowdy protests would be more of a problem with liberals who tend to be younger and more urban. But that's identity politics and it's dumb. I don't identify with them any more than you identify with Alex Jones. And compartmentalization is a problem for both sides of the political spectrum.

You're seeing a partisan judgment where there isn't one. Hate? Nah. It's really as simple as this: I believe all people have the government they deserve. And I have outright contempt for the people who made this government possible, and that applies equally to Trump's base as it does to the liberal elements who stole the primary from Bernie (Mainly lower-income urban and southern Democrats along with political and social elites). GOP apologists like to explain Trump as an act of desperation-- disillusioned blue collar workers from economically devastated communities looking for an outsider to save them from a political system that left them to die. No, the election was actually decided by middle class white women in Pennsylvania and Michigan who defied all expectations and went Trump for reasons I can't comprehend.

And I get along with Republicans just fine. Real life is a lot different than elfsim forums, most of my family is Republican (but not Trump supporters), and as I've made abundantly clear, I only really align liberal on economic issues and social ethics/morals (environment, civic duty, metaethics). Not the multicultural globalists and perpetual outrage machine.

There's also definitely a racism problem in Trump's camp. Behind all the liberal hyperbole and race-baiting, racism actually does exist, you know that right? Do you remember the shit that got chanted at his rallies? You think it's any coincidence that all the Trump supporters on this forum keep getting banned for primate metaphors?

lol people have no idea scientific studies proved that mercury toxicity can be instituted in a human life form down to the nano-gram. there is already a huge problem with too much mercury being circulated in the United States and Western Europe in general. So much so that the entire world had to get together and acknowledge how toxic it is, and that its the one line item that the entire world, including china agreed on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minama...ion_on_Mercury

140 countries dumb asses. Global warming wishes it was that relevant.

enjoy ur shit ass coal. sure 0bama wasted 500 million on the Solyndra fraud, but that doesn't mean we should abandon technologies that could...o wait the petro dollar is the only thing backing the US fiat currency.

nevermind, burn bb burn, ignore the Minamata Treaty that John Kerry broke his ass to get done

P.S. it only took 3 years (2013-2016) to bring China on board with an international treaty that stands to hurt their own industrialization the most. that's unprecedented.

[Ahldagor]

Oil backed fiat currency that Iran now refuses to use in order to trade oil. Saddam and Kadafi now how that dance ends.
