Politics Thread

[scoscox]

Before moving to Cincinnati, I lived in DC for 10 years doing research for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. During my time there, I got so fed up with ALL politicians that (1) I actually stopped voting, and (2) it was all I could do to not punch them in the nose whenever I ran into one (something that happens all the time in DC because face it, that town is filthy with politicians). A lot of my friends worked on the Hill, and the stories they told about their bosses and office environment only reinforced my negative feelings about all politicians. After a few years away from that sewer, I began to vote again. But I won't volunteer for any of them (although I did some canvassing for Obama because I believed he would be a transformational President), and I still trust none of them to make decisions for any other reason than preserving their own job security.

the fact that most of these same people abhor trump is part of his appeal. it's also why hillary's comment that "nobody likes" bernie will end up helping him.

the lack of self-awareness is mind-boggling. hillary has to know she's one of the most unpopular politicians currently living right? these people care more about whether their buddies in congress like them than if the american people like them or if what they're doing is right

The Sanders/Clinton feud being rekindled in January 2020 is just so delicious. Democrats know how to keep it interesting!

Amen. I’ll add that those of us who support one party or the other (you know who you are) only exacerbate the problem. So don’t stop voting, X-man, but vote 3rd party, independent or even write in. The more who do push us closer to breaking this mess.

I love the simplicity of, "Nobody likes him." I have a hard time putting into words how much I can't stand Bernie. Completely insufferable in every way. He is the oldest teenager on planet Earth.

I do not want Trump to win again. The problem is that he will be running against a Democrat, which means he will probably win again.

In theory, neither do I. But these people...

She just can't help herself. Much like her husband with other women or me with donuts.

Telling people whatever they want to hear really helps in that department.

Trump said Mexico would pay for it. Campaign promise. Did he lie? Oh no!

I am left-handed but a registered Independent for 53 yrs. or as they say in Colorado "no party".

Did Pocahontas Warren lie when she said that her heritage was "American Indian" to get benefits?
Does Bernie Lie when he says that his payoff of College Loans will be fully funded by a "tax on the rich"?

Dude. EVERY POLITICIAN LIES!!!. Give it up.
