General Politics Discussion (VI) [ARCHIVED] • Page 374

To them Ben Shapiro’s disgusting worldview is just a matter of differing opinions. You’d hope Pete would know better but clearly he doesn’t. But, it’s not exactly a matter of life or death for them. The opinions Ben Shapiro espouses about trans people or people with brown skin have gotten people killed. For them, this shit is life or death.

 

Yang's been proposing a lot of weird policies recently, idk why he talks about circumcision and removing the penny as much as he talks about healthcare

 

Because he sucks

 

And they're gonna say the 46th President of the US and his Vice President! Have you ever read a book?

 

being anti-circumcision has always seemed like a no brainer thing to me but any time I see someone vocal about it they are never anyone I’d ever wanna associate with idgi

 

I think Yang is proposing these unusual, out of left field policies because he wants to the media to start paying attention to him, cause so far they really haven't. He has some great ideas, starting of course with UBI which I think is great to see a candidate running on that policy and that idea becoming exposed to more people because it is about time we start having that conversation on implementing one.

 

the only reason id disagree about this with pete is because all of his tv interviews show someone who is very well trained for the media. if you can play the media game you can stay relevant forever, as a politician or as a media head or, most likely both. but of course its not written in stone and he very well could be a flash in the pan and just go back to being some moderately popular guy in local politics after all is said and done.

 

At the very least a candidate needs to show an awareness of how the right uses and wields power, and the mechanisms they use to mitigate Left power and influence when they have it. If those lessens weren’t learned from the past 12 years then I do not think you are a viable candidate for 2020.

 

Don’t circumcise your kids. Their body. Their choice.

 

I assume Bernie and Warren know this and will act accordingly, but that could likely be wishful thinking on my part, and I had already assumed someone likeButtigieg already understood this too .

 

The ceremony involved is definitely weird, like they invited my family to see them cut the foreskin off my baby dick

But also men's rights dummies think it's the same or worse than Fgm

 

pete was being hyped back in 2016 as a young up and comer, so yeah he’s not going anyway

 

Yeah Pete is going to be around a while, and he has a solid chance at being the VP candidate, especially if a non-white dude wins it.

Yang will be disappeared in a couple years, unless he gets into local politics instead.

 

They’re the only two that have acted and pushed policies that show they get it. They’ve both played into the bad faith debates a little, but I think Warren learned from her misstep, and Bernie has no time for that shit. I wish he called out what Fox News is more, but I understand why he thinks he can reach those voters and why Warren knows she can’t.

 

Agree completely. I think I said something like that a few days back.

 

We haven't made it to Iowa and this thread is already hosting debates on circumcision and if "buttchug" is homophobic. 2020 is gonna rule so hard

 

Andrew Yang does not stand a chance at winning the presidency but he could be the mayor of a super liberal city or run for Congress

 

Sigh, yyyyep. She gets the same “shrill”, “unlikable”, “not nice”, etc..so fucking stupid

 

In a perfect scenario for me, Gillibrand gets a cabinet position and then have Yang take her seat in the senate

 

One thing about Yang is that his Twitter is more entertaining than all the other candidates
