    That’s kinda what I’m suggesting there, mate.

    Like-- when you need a vastly superior candidate such as Gore or Hillary to shift their significant message upon an idiot base of voters, that’s when you know you got Trouble. With a capital “T,” and that rhymes with “P,” and that stands for “pool.”

    And like, when it comes down to hostage situations? You don’t negotiate with terrorists. And yet that’s exactly what the USA has been doing since around the time of Nixon (well before, really, but let’s keep some context). Allowing terrorists to nakedly buy up votes.

    This nation is sinking like a stone, exactly predictable upon the overload of assholes & idiots it spawned since day one. And that’s how that works, mate.

      I guess I’m confused at what I said that you disagree with. The only thing I disagree with you on here is that Hillary Clinton was “worthy successor” but if you’re saying she’d be a worthy successor to continue the status quo or slide to the right, I agree.

          I’m trying to figure out what YOU’RE talking about.

          My first reply said she wasn’t a great candidate but I voted for her out of necessity.

          You replied about how she was a way better choice than Trump…which obviously I agreed with, I said i voted for her…

          Then your next reply seems like it’s in total agreement but phrased like you think I disagree with it. I think we’re on the same page but there’s just some miscommunication…

            Lol… dude. Ma dude.
            If you need me to spell out this total shitshow for you, then you’re massively behind the game.

            Please just go to sleep, as usual.

              I hate to say it but I think you’re the one missing something here. And based on the down votes, I’m not the only one.

              No idea why you turned into an asshole on me here, I thought we were cool. Guess I’ll change your tag from “good hip hop convo” to “won’t admit when he misinterpreted something”

              Go back to sleep, mate. Blimey the dingo or whatever the fuck you’re on today

                Same. I had a few yesterday, and wasn’t my usual considerate self, but OTOH? If I need to spell out every P and Q for someone, then I can rightfully get annoyed.

                Point is, the voting issues and inherent problems I’m referencing run terminally deep in the USA, and exasperation upon the country being sunk is the order of the day. Downvotes can piss right off when this is no longer a ‘polite discussion.’

                  But the only reason you thought you had to spell it out is because you thought I disagreed. I know our voting system is awful and I hate voting for the lesser of two evils

                    I don’t recall us being in either full agreement or disagreement at any point.

                    And I think the whole ‘lesser or two evils’ mindset is a terrible way to look at things, and directly fuels voter apathy, helping to lead to what we have now… the breaking down of whatever was left of democracy. Look at the historic voting records of congressional dems vs “GOP,” and it becomes pretty clear that one party is way, way better than the other in terms of progressive bills, however flawed they might be as a political entity.

      I just have to say that I didn’t think that I would see a Music Man quote today, and yet here we are.

      I salute you, good sir. 🫡
