  1. Good to see Republicans handling things with their usual maturity.

    Isn't that what Buttigieg is? The most republican like of dem candidates


    Gabbard is suing Hillary for defamation at the moment for this:

    “She’s the favorite of the Russians,” Clinton continued. “They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far."

    Which is basically the same shit they tried to pull with Trump

    Hillary is as nasty as Trump, she's just quieter about it.
     
  5. Yea, it's been slow lately. This has been a rather boring debate cycle. It's as if we already know what very last one of them is going to say.

    It's factual that russian bots, trolls and sites tried to influence american politics in Trump's favor.
     
  7. And here I thought it was Colorado!
     
  8. Hah, or "Get off your Ass and vote for Butt"

  9. Which is typical of the left, reusing old ideas. Consider how they glom onto Alinsky's tactics, with great effect, initially. But then they keep repeating them, in order. Which is not how it's supposed to work, Alinsky himself said this. His methods were designed for quick action and quick results. They don't work in a long campaign.

    Same as passive-aggressive tactics, they can be overused and rendered ineffective by amateurs who don't know when to shift gears on a campaign. I have a coworker who uses the exact same passive-aggressive tactic on everybody. I couldn't understand why it was actually working, or seemed to be. Then I realized my other coworkers were simply patronizing her after years of exposure to the same tactic. They were so bored with her that she thought she really had them all under control (of some sort).

    When she tried to use it on me, I couldn't contain my laughter anymore.

    The Buttigieg campaign added applause to a video clip after a comment Buttigieg made at a town hall meeting that took place Thursday. I hope a laugh track is next.

    "In the live CNN event on Thursday night, Buttigieg's answer did not compel the audience at Saint Anselm College to break into applause. But in a clip shared by the campaign on social media, applause was added."

    Buttigieg campaign mocked for adding applause to CNN town hall clip

    You're such a joke at times, man. Reusing old ideas is typical for the left... Do you even believe you make sense...?

    They reuse old ideas all the time.

    “Socialism will work if we try it again this time” :rolleyes:

  13. Their favorite manual is over a century old. The Clintons actually tried to use their 90s era playbook to go after Trump. It's all been a hilarious show.

    Also, try to get by without the personal shit, it's rude and unnecessary. I understand how difficult fighting arrogance can be. But really, does it need to be here?

    It's not particular typical of 1 political side and you both know that. Reusing old ideas is primarily a human tactic and if it would be projected on one political side in particular it fits the conservative right at least as good. Really, are you guys even trying?

    It's a really solid direction for our healthcare though because if you look at how much we're spending

    How much does the federal government spend on health care?
    it becomes a no brainer. Change the spending structure...

  16. I guess, but the ideas they keep reusing, keep failing.
     
  17. Perhaps, but we can have a decent healthcare system without flipping the entire nation to a different political system (a logistical and practical nightmare). It's going to take more than simply handing it over to the government (which doesn't run the bit of healthcare they presently control very well at all).

  18. Yea, but one thing I do is follow the rules. I don't skirt around them.

    Can you elaborate on what you mean by flipping the country to a different political system? Who wants to do that?

    Changes in the system doesn't make it a completely different political system. Reeks of the same ol' socialism is scary fearmongering.
