The GOP will win the Senate and Keep the House

[Grenartia]

Well In reality I feel it will be 53-47 Republicans, but after looking at each individual race, It's hard to say which one they will lose. But if they were to lose in one or two races, it would be New Hampshire and North Carolina.

probably. Although, they may win Georgia. So it's really a gamble. Election day is a week away, so we'll find out then.

Neither the Republicans or Democrats will die, it's just when Democrats talk about Republicans on a Presidential level, the automatically assume the GOP will just die.

Well, atm the GOP is struggling due to the fact that it disproportionately relies on older, white voters. The younger people who replace those voters as they are dying are more socially liberal and racially diverse, so if they continue on their current trajectory, it will become more and more difficult for them to win races outside of very traditionally conservative areas.

They have to somehow adjust to the changing social climate. I would be much happier with a more libertarian GOP.

Of course, the GOP relies FAR too much on those older, less freedom-loving voters to ever change their platform until most of them die off. Which could be decades, seeing as how most of the ones I know/have seen are middle age. They're simply not ever going to be able to pander to the other demographics until either the attitudes of most of their bread and butter changes, or until most of their bread and butter goes away. Its a prime example of Crippling Overspecialization.

Libertarians are more strict and racist

And they want to lower taxes

Especially on the rich

The taxes aren't even high enough, and we don't even have inheritance tax

[Kelinfort]

Good. They'll be fucked in 2016 and 2020, let them have some fun.

The GOP is full of retards who want no insanity checks for gun ownership, lower taxes, and cut down trees

[Britanno]

Democrats win the House. The Republican Party is batshit insane and people are realizing it.

So are the American public by the sounds of things.

Move to a state with higher taxes then, & NY and some other states have inheritance taxes.

I'm still in favor of a progressive tax code. Flat taxes are silly.

Lowering taxes isn't wrong if it makes sense, and source of the racist and less educated part.

What about libertarianism supports racism or lower levels of education?

They're hard core right wingers.

And taxes should ALWAYS be raised

[Firsthome]

Oh, and most neo nazis who aren't in the nazi party are in the libertarian one

[Andarro]

I would prefer to see both parties swept from power and replaced with citizens with no party affiliation.

It would be nice to have some actual representation for a change, not just the illusion or pretense of representation.

And no, taxes shouldn't ALWAYS be raised. Only when it makes sense to.

I'm sorry, you're incorrect. Economically, the libertarians are right wing. Socially, they are centre to left wing.


They oppose discrimination legislation, which I agree shouldn't be repealed, on the grounds the market will correct, by boycott, any discrimination.

They support privatised education, and reimbursement in the form of vouchers. Again, I don't agree with that approach, but it's up for debat whether it's worse education.

Taxes SHOULDN'T always be raised, and I'm struggling to take you seriously here. Even if you oppose Neoliberal economics, the Laffer curve is real.

All due respect, but why should 'We the people' be compelled to pay more taxes to cover the irresponsible spending practices of the government?

These politicians use $944,672 per year each, just for their secretaries (up to 18 of them), they get a raise each year based on inflation, they pay $0 in operating costs.

Meanwhile, approximately 1/3 of the US population is either homeless, living at or below poverty, underemployed or unemployed, and living in a neighborhood that resembles a war zone.

This country is bankrupt and owes upwards of $17,770,878,224,354 (17.7 Trillion Dollars) with a GDP of 16.8 Trillion Dollars.

All of this has been happening on their watch, and their actions appear to be a pathetic excuse; so the choice is what exactly?

Elect a bag of poop as opposed to a bag of poop?

We love to blame our politicians so much.

But "we the people" elect the motherfuckers in the first place. Why can't we have a better social services net if we really wanted it? Why can't we have less corruption, better and efficient people in office, and a smaller deficit?

Because we're apathetic. That's the problem. Not them, us.

Oh, and we're not bankrupt. Go look at our bond yields if you don't believe me.
