US Politics Thread

Do you have any evidence?

There is a Sanders/ Dems thread in 2016. There's info in there. I watched a fair bit of both in that time.

If I can arsed, over the weekend, I'll look for some evidence of 'similarity'.

I'm about to hit the hay.

Trump has been given 24 hrs to put up or shut up over the search warrant

Just a periodic reminder that a bunch of I’m-smarter-than-you-and-more-objective-and-I-need-evidence-and-you-have-TDS-and-orange-man-bad-disease cunts were completely fucking wrong.

And, as predicted, they’ve also disappeared, like the keyboard warrior cowards they always were.

The trouble is you're looking for direct comparable policies. I didn't suggest or offer that. I said they campaigned on similar things.

The difference being, Sanders' offer was genuine (you call his campaign "empty promises") whereas Trump's wasn't, obviously. Sanders hasn't ventured that far from 2016 and, in fact, is probably angling more that way in recent times with his latest speeches.

In 2020, Trump had traversed from outsider to insider, from businessman to politician, so using the Cuban voting strategy is pointless as Trump was already in. In 2016, Sanders AND Trump were both classed as 'outsiders'.

"Thick and uneducated people vote for simplistic solutions" which is why I feel sorry that they vote against their own interests because they're not given something to vote FOR.

That's a Dem issue.

Do I hear the splashes of rowing back? "Trump got in on a similar rhetoric that Sanders was on".

That must be about the worst thing anyone's ever said about Sanders.

Doesn't surprise me at all that you've not absorbed the context.

Are you a Trump supporter?

It’s rhetoric. And some will buy it, and some will act in ways like this deranged fuckstick idiot did. Who is the general who commands the deranged fuckstick idiots? What about the colonels and lieutenants and sergeants? How do deranged fuckstick idiots act like disciplined soldiers with enough might to take on and down the nation? It’s why the civil war fears aren’t IMO very realistic.

This guy fired a nail gun, then ran to his car and then into a cornfield after an alarm sounded, then fired his gun when law enforcement was trying to take him alive. I’m really not especially frightened that a group of these types (which will be definitionally small) are anything for the nation to fear militarily, except as discrete terrorists.

I fear their votes a lot more than their guns.

I hope you are correct in your opinion.

 

[BlueHammer85]

I didn't. If one is genuine and one is a fraud what is the point of the comparison?

‘ Because errr , erm, they both offered hope and erm . It’s the Dems to blame. ‘

Maybe wasn’t the best idea to let a dangerous lunatic have access to highly sensitive nuclear documents seeing as he thinks it’s ok to carry it home with him like a fucking newspaper.

Of course he isn't ;-)
He would have voted for him though had he been American because the Dems didn't select his preferred candidate. That much is very clear.

Can only think of one reason Trump would have kept nuclear weapons related info and documents after leaving office, and it doesn't come as much of a shock. He is a Putin stooge and nothing but a fucking spy.

It does make you think what was sold off the books during his term.

Only reason he got involved in the first place. He isn't interested in politics, he is interested in lining his pockets. Stirring up shit allows it and he learned that being a Russian stooge enabled it

Doesn’t espionage carry the death penalty in the states? If they actually have something on him he’s in some very hot water.
