General Politics Discussion (VI) [ARCHIVED] • Page 916

Beto is more likable, Pete is a millennial and seems to have real ideas.

I’d probably lean Pete on the age thing alone but Beto seems like a legit nice person/regular dude, and not in the politician-y way.

 

Lol at you thinking he isn’t the better candidate against Trump than Hillary was.

 

LOL at you continuing to ignore facts while jacking off the worst candidates. You made an entire likability argument that was factually wrong. Take your fucking L and shut up.

 

You know we have these things called polls where we can actually look this up instead of just make shit up, right?

 

“Biden would have won” my god man this motherfucker is too far gone

 

By September of 2015, Biden was +12, and Hillary was -10


But he wasn’t like more than her.

 

Yeah Beto looked fucking horrible in the debate. I’m talking about them as people/their personalities, Jason.

 

Beto v. Pete argument is the indie rock version of Hilary v. Biden argument.

 

dude it was a joke please dont actually tell us what you think of them in earnest

 

Someone tag me when we start talking about food again.

 

So, when you say "he's more likable" and the world goes "you're wrong" ... you're really just saying you like Beto more. Cool. Got it.

 

bruhhhhhhh

 

if this thread was in Nazi Germany we’d be arguing about bullshit while they send human beings to death camps.

I feel real overwhelmed and powerless rn and dumb and bad arguments are making that feeling worse.

 

You’ll get what you asked for and like it!

Pete still has a legit shot at being the candidate, we might have to talk about him in earnest in the future.

 

Good news, my friend got her Visa today and I’m so happy for her.

 

I am going to Belgium next week and I'm gonna eat a waffle

 

Hmm, if it was Nazi Germany no way my politics and sexuality would fly ... so my server bills probably aren't being paid.

Dark humor aside, I look for places to volunteer when I feel powerless. It helps me. Wisconsin is a good place to look at, and here's a thread:

 

It’s weird that someone who spends so much time on twitter will act like the things I say that he doesn’t like/agree with are only being said by me and haven’t been part of a larger discussion among the politicos out there for week already. There have definitely been comments on Pete’s cardboard cutoff stiffness that he has exuded at times. I think it’s been a little overstated but it has been the perception of him but more than a few people.

 

Did you ever figure something to do to keep from spiraling down a hole? I’ve been in an almost constant state of that for a while now and I just keep spacing out watching comfort shows and stuff. Haven’t been able to come up with anything of substance that makes it better.

 

Don’t forget the chocolate.

 

Fuck yes

 

Even after Pete's worst stretch of polling, he's still seen as more likable by voters than Beto. You can take all the anecdote comments you want or who you like more ... I don't care.

 

Recently learned that this was a thing that is happening

 

jfc

 

I'm out here doing the ground work in WI, and all the help is appreciated. Some days it feels like we're making progress and other days it feels like we're getting our asses kicked out here.
