US Midterm Election Megathread II: The Stretch Run Begins

[San Lumen]

No he wasn't. Who is a real progressive then?

Bernie Sanders, probably.

And yes he was. All that hopey changey stuff was quite disappointing.

You go nominate someone like Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio Cortez in North Dakota or West Virginia but dont cry when they lose the general election.

I've never once said that those types should be nominated there. I'm well aware they'd lose.

Maybe if he didn't have a Republican Congress for most his term things would have gotten done. If more people had gotten off their butts to vote in 2010 and 2014 maybe Democrats wouldn't have lost Congress.

There we can agree, but alas, welcome to how midterms work.

People didn't vote simply because they didn't want to get off their asses.

Well then they got the government they deserved. If you dont vote you have no right to complain.

That's not how it fuckin' works.

Voting is not a requirement to be able to complain.

By you're logic, those who can't vote shouldn't be able to complain.
What about those who decide not to vote because they have no choices they support?

Im sorry the candidates dont inspire you or excite you. People used to just man up about it and vote. if you dont like whose running then run for office yourself.

I have no tolerance or sympathy for those who say I dont like the candidates. Then get off your butt and run if you think you can do better.

You do know that's not feasible for most people, right?

You can start with local office. Like school board or city council

Lumen:Just man up and vote.
Also Lumen: You should just not vote rather than vote for the better of two bad candidates.

So, uh, which is it?

Another reason why Republicans must lose in November, esepically at the state level. This basically a fucking coup they are trying to pull. I'd rather commit treason than follow what ever insane corporate shit show they turn this country into if they succeed...

Trust me, Lumen, that's not always possible. I couldn't run for office unless I had an R next to my name around here, and that's not likely to happen. So why run when you know it's not possible to win?

How many times have we freaking explained this to you?

You sound so repetitive at this point.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT FUCKING WORKS!!!

We've explained this to your so many times, either your acting stupid on purpose to get a rise out of some of us, or you literally are that dumb that you can't take the fucking hint.

"if you dont like whose running then run for office yourself" Bitch shut the fuck up, I don't see you running for office, yet all you do is bitch and moan to us how awful everything is, just like Triassica.

"I have no tolerance or sympathy for those who say I dont like the candidates" Well what the fuck do you want us to do then, we're not gonna vote if both candidates suck, and voting third party means nothing, especially if they're not gonna win. None of us have the time, the money, the stamina, nor the public experience to do so, stop acting like a stuck-up, stubborn, obnoxious, arrogant bitch all the fucking time by telling us the same thing every time. So take your fucking bullshit argument and GO AWAY!!!

[Freezic Vast]

How about no.

You linked an article about a constitutional convention. Then went on about treason, we know what you're talking about, we just think it's absurd.

Oh I do, it's just that I think your wrong, insane, and talking bullshit like you always do. Besides it's people like you are the real enemy.

You think it's absurd that I'd rather turn my back on America than follow the insane Constutuion the Koch brothers want to make? What if they actually make it that only wealthy home owners can vote? There is no limit to the amount of damage they can do In a con-con...
