Party Loyalty is Poison

[cnm]

Today, only 2 percent of our population is involved in farming, and we feed the entire world.

Jesus. That bumptious boasting gets so old, so quickly. As though Ukraine didn't feed the whole world, for example, or Argentina or Canada.

I have to say we import **** all of your food stuffs here, they are terrible quality.

Maybe, too, because we grow enough food for 8 times our population.

because they always end up going along with any statist, anti-freedom legislation that comes their way, as long as it's being presented by THEIR party.

ICE thanks the Chump administration for its shiny new budget.

FOR FREEDUMB!!!

MAGA!!!

 

[Mac-7]

Yeah. Having your own opinions is just crazy talk. Roll with the herd!

We all have opinions

But the Third Party, fence sitting, A Pox on both their houses crowd carry it to an extream

You demand 100% compliance with your views or its a total no-go

Instead I dont agree with trump all the time, but we share basically the same goals and that's all we can realistically expect

 

[JoeB131]

Doofus, try reading thru the thread, it will provide some much needed context.

I did.

The inmates have taken over the asylum in the GOP.

 

[JoeB131]

You are sick

Your concession is duly noted.

We built this country on slavery and genocide. That's nothing to be proud of.

 

[Mac-7]

Try to keep your facts straight

The early southern economy depended on black slavery

But not America as a whole

No. I don't. That's your strawman. I just demand someone better than Biden, Trump and Harris - how low will you go?

Which parts of the trump agenda do you support?

And if not trump who is your president of choice?

Someone better than Biden, Trump or Harris. See, you guys look at two shitty candidates and say - "well, I guess I have to vote for one of them". That's idiotic. Don't do that.

Typically when asked who you do support all you can say is who you dont support

That makes you pretty useless

I actually don't disagree. But that's also why I 'left' the GOP.

I could tell who I support, who I voted for. But that's NOT the point. I'm not telling you who to vote for. I'm asking, begging you, you to stop falling for the lesser-of-two-evils idiocy. It has you voting for bad candidates on purpose. Because they're on you "side".
Which makes you worse than useless.

Somebody more famous than me once said, 'voting for the lesser of two evils is STILL voting for evil.'

Yeah. That's an old one. While I appreciate the sentiment, it's somewhat unfortunate that "evil" is used in the terminology. Because it's not about good and evil, and I don't think someone voting for the "lesser-of-two-evils" is literally voting for evil. They're just voting for a bad candidate because he or she is the best their party can come up with. And they're loyal to their party even when they nominate bad candidates.

You attack others by who they vote for while refusing to say who you voted for

I'm not attacking anyone. I'm "attacking" the conventional wisdom that we must vote for Ds and Rs exclusively. I'm attacking party loyalty as an excuse for voting for bad candidates. I'm pointing out that voting for bad candidates, merely because that's what Ds and Rs hand us, is dumb. You can't defend that. Which is why you want to divert to personal attacks.

Ok

So you cant even accuse me of voting for a bad candidate

I guess you just like to complain about nothing

I guess you don't want to talk about the topic: the caustic nature of blind party loyalty. That's ok. Don't.

I have already refuted the lie about blind party loyality

I praise trump when he’s right and criticize him when he’s wrong

You just blindly hate him all the time cause you are for nothing

 

[dblack]

You have? In this thread?

I praise trump when he’s right and criticize him when he’s wrong

If you vote for him regardless, your praise and criticism is irrelevant.

Not at all. I give him credit when he's on the right track. I used to give him props for not getting us involved in foreign wars, for example. Used to. I also supported his promise to repeal ACA. And to release the Epstein files.
