I've had TDS since fifth grade.

So which wrestlers were you all into, the good guy wrestlers or the bad guy wrestlers?

 

[buckeye]

They become "not Democrats," even though they are far left in ideology becuase that gives them two major parties to cry about.

Crying seems to be what he's excels at.

Bad guy - amirite?

 

[buckeye]

Bad guy - amirite?

I've no idea what you're trying to say, crabby.

 

[Seymour Flops]

That Trump is in any way fit for the office. C'mon. You think that's real?

Compared to who, though?

Joe Biden? Bill Clinton? Barrack Obama? The Bushes?

Is he more or less fit than Jo and Spike?

 

[dblack]

Compared to who, though?

I don't play that game. That game, is why is we have such shitty choices.

 

[Seymour Flops]

I don't play that game. That game, is why is we have such shitty choices.

So your answer is to say"I'm NOT going to choose!" Stomping your foot on "not?" Congratulations on being irrelevant.

I choose to participate in democracy, though I know that will require me to vote for human beings who will be falible and flawed, tarnished by their past, and always subject to having those imperfections highlight, exagerated and even fabricated by political rivals.

I'd rather be "irrelevant" than deliberately vote for a bad leader.

How far would down would you ride this voting strategy? Is there ANY point where you'd say - "No, I'm not voting for either of the 'approved' choices." ? Clearly, you don't think we're there yet, but can you imagine both candidates being so bad you would stop pretending?

 

[The Duke]

In this case, yes. It's the same feeling I got arguing with kids about whether wrestling was real. Call it TDS, call it WTF?, call it whatever you like. But talking to people who believe, without question, in something entirely preposterous. Yes. That's delusional.

No. It wouldn't make any difference. That's sort of the point with delusion. Just like going over the proof that wrestling was fake was a total waste of time.

False equivalency fallacy. The 2 are not even remotely the same.

 

[Billiejeens]

That Trump is in any way fit for the office. C'mon. You think that's real?

How do you get yourself to a place that you'll accept such an insane proposition? He's the best your party can do?? Really???

If that's true, then just give up. You're doing it wrong.

Yet,

By every measurable metric he has been spectacular at best and adequate at the least.

It is you that is doing it wrong

(prediction - If anything dB will simply laugh at this - there is no rebuttal)

 

[Billiejeens]

You're under the mistaken notion that I am judging you. I don't care if you vote or not though if you're not informed, I'd prefer you don't vote.

He would never vote for someone who is actually running to win.
Never -

 

[Seymour Flops]

I'd rather be "irrelevant" than deliberately vote for a bad leader.

Then enjoy.

Not pretending anything, thats a silly idea.

Of course I'd vote if both candidates are horrible. That would make it more important than ever to pick the one that will do the least harm.

I'm not going to sit at home watching Mayberry RFD and wishing Andy Taylor would run for president.

Just out of curiosity would another Jimmy Carter pass muster by your standards as an acceptable candidate?

 

[dblack]

Wow.
And I can only assume that's how most people see it.

We are so fucked.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Wow.

Yeah, what about the Jimmy Carter question,

 

[dblack]

Yeah, what about the Jimmy Carter question,

Carter seemed like a decent person. I didn't care for his politics, so I didn't really study up on him much. I voted for Reagan in the election.

Diversion aside, your commitment to voting lesser, to voting D or R no matter how bad their candidates, is killing the country.

 

[Billiejeens]

Or -
The fact that half of the country is too stupid to vote for one of the people actually running, is killing the country.

Actually, there is no "or"

That's the answer.

How are those tariffs on islands only inhabited by penguins doing?

 

[buckeye]

Maybe he has commitment issues.

Though I admit to voting for Ross Perot twice.

 

[The Duke]

I voted for him once. Ross would have been good.

You really didn't understand that story at all?

You just went with the Democrat Media buffoonery?
