General Politics Discussion VIII [ARCHIVED] • Page 156

one of my friends had Jorgensen as a prof when he was at Clemson, and apparently she was awful, and I cannot believe how funny it is that she's a presidential candidate

 

I was a Republican and then I realized that doesn't exist.

 

Like one of my high school "friends" who doesn't have a post-high school education; he shared this recently

 

god libertarianism is so freaking epic

 

The kind of Joregensen supporters I’ve seen would have voted for Biden that are easily influenced and now think they are some form of super woke by being a Libertarian. Sad thing is they don’t realize that Jorgensen would fuck them over just as much if not more than Trump lol

 

Libertarians just want to not pay taxes, smoke legal weed, and push the boundaries of age of consent laws. That’s it.

 

TIL Jorgensen isn't a guy. This whole time I was picturing Al Jourgensen.

 

Yep this is the kind of shit I see all day lol

 

Thinking about how a libertarian response to COVID would indeed be worse than the GOP response lol

 

By far the most annoying thing about libertarian voters is their insistence that the only reason why libertarians do so bad is that people are just “brainwashed by the (liberal) media” into this two party system and don’t see how bad the republicans or democrats are and etc.

Im always like nah dude, I’ve forgotten way more about policy than Joe Rogan has ever taught you. I just realize that libertarianism doesn’t work and that of all the political parties that are viable, my best option is to smuggle good policies in through the Democrats. Maybe if we had ranked choice voting I could vote for Greens and Indys.

 

At least we have definitive proof that having states make independent decisions is a disaster

 

16 days until the election.

 

Jorgensen wants to get rid of the FDA efficacy requirement so that manufacturers don’t need to prove that their medicine works before it’s on the market and then hopefully get rid of the FDA entirely. She’s a lunatic.

 

Also I saw 5 year pages since last night and thought something big might have happened but it was just people debating Apple chargers in the middle of the night

 

its really interesting to me how right wing libertarianism is pretty much exclusively a us thing. ahem, 'normal country'

 

I wonder where I'd fall on a political spectrum if I removed all bias from it. Is there a website that gives you a fuckton of issues or situations then plots you?

 

I’m voting for David Turpin.

 

Yeah, there was a page on this thread at some point where everyone just gave their results.

I feel like it's connected to the origins of America being all "fuck it, we'll start our OWN country with our OWN rules!"

 

PS i got my Delaware mail in ballot and it included a list of all the possible declared write in candidates for President. There are A LOT. Kanye is in fact one of them lol

 

Yep.

Oh boy I'm sure this will do nothing but improve my reputation around here.

 

All these weirdo libertarians obsessed with American history and the Founders and "Western democracy" and they don't even fucking remember that we tried their version of shit for 6 years and it was an utter failure.

 

I really like the iSideWith quiz. That’s actually how I found out about Bernie. Back in 2015 when I just started to care about politics since I realized I could vote in the next election, I took the quiz and it said I agreed most with him and so I started to doing more research about him and thats how my interest in politics all came about.

 

I think this thread has pushed me further left than even the last time we all did this
