2019-2020 US Election Megathread II: Tim Ryan's Empire

[Arlenton]

Guns made it far more easier.

People were perfectly capable of defending themselves without guns...right up until the Gatling Gun rendered their spears and shields obsolete.

Custer, you fool!

Btw I wish Gatling guns weren’t so expensive. A Gatling is high up on my list.

[New haven america]

So are all of what I posted.

1. i doubt fire is quick.

2. neither are knives, drug ODs, heights......

3. hell hanging could leave you fucked up if you break that fucking rope.

1. It is, in most cases you're either passed out or dead within 30 sec to a minute
2. Also false, they're quite quick.
3. The vast majority of people aren't capable of breaking standard issue ropes.

[Luminesa]

and you take a shine to this in particular?

Nah, just a visible sign that Donnie's hardcore base is a personality cult that could have him piss on them like a Russian hooker and they'd call it baptism.

That’s a rather gross image. And also hyperbole. Go get a job writing some penny dreadful, because that’s what this sounds like.

[Luminesa]

Also tend to act like humans couldn't defend themselves before guns were invented.

Guns made it far more easier.

Not if you’re the guy cleaning that up after a murder or a suicide, I imagine.

[United States of Devonta]

Those aren't big gun control measures. His "baby steps" are way more then what Obama ever got accomplished.

Eh, workers right, LGBTQ, Campaign finance, Gerry meandering. The list goes on.

I'm glad many whites didn't hold that view during the civil rights movement. "I'm not black, so idc" Kinda cowardice

Obama couldn’t get what he wanted, thankfully. Comparing him to a Trump is silly.

Im all for Citizen’s United. Gerrymandering is mandated by the voting rights act, so I support Republicans gerrymandering until a truly fair system is possible (which won’t happen).

And I’m not a white person in the 60s.

Trump is pushing many of the measures Obama wanted, and some further. Just the assault weopons ban is the difference. So no, thinking Trump is a savior to america or the greatest thing to happen to it is silly.

We do have a fair system, it just Republicans have bad ideas and they never when the popular support of the populace. But at least your for corruption. And the way it is envisioned in the voting rights act is way different. But nice try.

That's not an argument. The way you approach a problem is cowardice in any era. This is why we learn about the famous "First they came" poem.

The voting rights act mandates racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. That’s not a fair system, so then I wouldn’t want my representatives playing by fair rules.

And if the party that controls more state legislatures, governorships, the Senate, and Presidency is so unpopular, why would they want what you call a “fair system?” Because someone wrote some pro-commie poem?

So when have you ever been personally affected by race or left-leaning policies?

When it’s made more difficult to buy weapons, and when some weapons are banned. Also when I have to pay more in taxes.

Then there’s the whole crime issue, but I moved to Texas so that’s not much of an issue for me anymore.

1. That you don't need
2. To pay for systems and services that help both you and your community
3. Liberal areas have higher education rates and lower crime rates across the board, so this is nonsense.

Also, under Trump, US tax payers paid ~$93 billion more in 2018 than they did in 2017, while businesses didn't pay $91 billion. Either way you look at it, you're paying more in taxes, but instead of benefiting you and your community, it's benefiting the top 1%.

All through corruption and voter oppression. And the ineptitude of liberals.

[Jerzylvania]

Time for another of my 2016 Political song parodies that is now even more applicable

Trump Believes in... (apologies to The Buzzcocks)

[Valrifell]

Shucks, suicide sucks. If only it could have been harder for these people to get devices with the singular purpose to kill and easier to get mental healthcare.

I see how that's not an option.

It's not like knives, poison, tall buildings, carbon monoxide, electricity, drugs/alcohol, heavy traffic, fire, or rope exist to fill the gap in the "thinks to commit suicide with" roster.

All of which are remarkably less effective than a pistol to the temple. Funny how that works, the thing designed to kill is the most effective at killing.

End the deinstitutionalization movement and retain gun rights in full.

Funny.

I always thought one of your things was 'my body, my choice?'

The two don't have to go together. You don't need to end deinstitutionalisation to maintain gun rights.

Safer ways to self euthanize, in spite of it's relatively high effectiveness, it's not 100%.

[Hakons]

Funny.

Safer ways to self euthanize, in spite of it's relatively high effectiveness, it's not 100%.

"Safer ways to self euthanize" is just.... quite the phrase there

Euthanisia is by definition never safe because you always die

[Greater vakolicci haven]

Funny.

Safer ways to self euthanize, in spite of it's relatively high effectiveness, it's not 100%.

What does that statement even mean? You'd prefer a more effective method of suicide?

[Tombradyonia]

That's not even the problem lol, just a cherry on top.

Claiming Trump is the best thing that ever happened for this country is a pretty high order.

That's North Korea grade worship there. No wonder Donnie likes Kim so much.

Trump fans are almost like Komsomol members in the Soviet Union during Stalin's rule. No matter how hard Stalin hit them and their families, they worshipped the guy all the way.

You see, for them it is not an issue that they get hurt by Trump's pro-corporate anti-worker policies. The idea is that "the left" is miserable and that's all that counts for them. Dems do not seem to understand this thing at all. This is also what got the incompetent G.W. Bush elected to his second term for president (he was appointed by activist judge Scalia for the first). It's not "he's good for me" but "he's worse for you".

I understand it all too well, and that's what frightens me.

Wayne Messam is terrifying!

I already posted that, post-stealer.

On the bright side, his antics repel younger voters so it's possible an entire generation may despise the GOP and there's only so much they can do with gerrymandering and voting restrictions. Essentially, the trump voters are fighting a losing battle.
