Politics Thread

[xuphan]

In a nutshell, this describes what’s wrong with the country. Most people are blind when it comes to their party, but go in with guns blazing when something can possibly be blamed on the other party. I freely admit to being a registered Republican, but I’m generally pissed off at both parties. They both put the Party ahead of the country. I’m becoming more and more Libertarian.

100% agree. The worst lobbyist in our country come from the Republican and Democratic parties themselves. For one to realistically be a politician today, you have to either be extremely wealthy or rely on one of these parties to get campaign funding. After you get in office, these political parties then have control over you to go along with their party’s agenda. The politicians do not represent their constituents but represent their party. I typically have a chuckle when these politicians are sworn into office and repeat their oath with their hand on the Bible knowing full well that their oath is to their party and not for the good of the country. It will never happen but the true way to fix politics is to get rid of lobbyists money and to get rid of the Republican and Democratic unions.

I’d also add that to be a politician today (especially at the federal level) you have to have a screw loose, a complete narcissist and have very little if any of a moral compass.

Latest poll has Trump at 39%, DeSantis at 18% and Sununu at 17% among likely NH Republican primary voters. Listen, I can understand voting for Trump against Biden. Biden is essentially a walking corpse. I have literally no idea how anyone could support Trump in a primary against legitimate politicians who have actually governed at least somewhat successfully. I don't see a case for Trump against any of DeSantis, Sununu, Haley or Scott. Maybe against Vivek since he is a bit of a weirdo, too.

Four more years of Biden (well, until Harris takes over) on the horizon. Yay.

In celebration of Memorial Day weekend, I'm confident someone on this board must have forked over $35 for a six pack of Ultra Right beer.
It should have shipped by now.
How'd it taste?

(I can't find any news releases about it shipping/arriving, so I hope it's not another grift by a far-right person)

You got your six pack? Or did you get scammed out of another $35.
I honestly (so far) can't find any indication that this beer has shipped to people who up-fronted $ to this guy.
I know the brewery in Illinois backed out, but he supposedly moved the production to Atlanta.

Now just because Vivek suggested (not seriously, mind you) moving up the voting age to 25 is no reason to insinuate that he's a weirdo.

I suppose that you now have comprehension problems since nobody on this board would have ordered that.
Perhaps you’ll just take another L since once again your “confidence” is misplaced.
