Trump carries

[Doc45]

Regardless of who takes the office I sincerely hope it's only for one term. As a registered Independent I'll pull the handle for the GOP candidate over anyone else but I won't be happy with the choice as unless something extreme comes out it will be Trump.

Foxtrot; Exactly right. The Russians, while in Afganistan, pointed that out. It will be nearly impossible to communicate effectively in that environment. But your point is just sit there and bitch? And, WTF is "Work now to preserve your later" What do you think we are trying to, peacefully, do?? Other than an uprising is just silly because we don't stand a chance, what are you saying that is useful to this conundrum?

As opposed to your calls to "burn it to the ground?"


BlasterBob, people who call for rich people to pay their fair share of taxes are those that are entirely too stupid to understand that there are exceedingly few "jobs" that pay enough to be ultra wealthy. That kind of wealth comes from venues other than an employer. Those people with such poor money management skills fail to understand that "rich" people aren't dodging the same income tax that gets taken out of their paycheck, as this is the only form of income those unfortunately souls will ever know.

As a registered Independent "Unaffiliated" voter...

I know it's semantics but saying you're registered as an "Independent" in Colorado is like saying you've registered your guns in Colorado.

Hahaha, thanks for the correction (almost like saying "clips" when people mean "magazine" or ".45 Long Colt" when it's just .45 Colt). I know I gave up the opportunity to vote in primaries but in my experiences those I've voted for were the ones that never seemed to make it to the general.

But ya gotta keep trying. The only reason I'm a member the (R) is so I can at least try to promote the constitutional capitalists.

That was always my experience as well.

Generally speaking, it was addressed to those that aren't voting/being active and just sitting everything out saying "that'll learn them, after this socialism, they'll elect the candidate I always wanted, and then the country will magically fix itself afterwards".

[As many individuals here did last election, paraphrased...]

Thank you for the clarification. Honestly. I wasn't trying to be a dick, although that follows pretty closely, I just didn't understand what you meant.

Yep, I agree with ya.

Addressed to nobody in particular:
Revolution never will be an option because the state fully wrenched control of communications interception and the education system - two things more powerful than any collection of firearms. You have no ability to organize and you never will. The people (like last election) that are unhappy they can't get their ideal candidate (of which there would be 300 million ideal candidates, seriously, lets grow up) always like to say "screw it all, I want to see it all burn so we can get this over with and start anew".

Reality check: Nothing will happen, not now, not twenty years from now, not forty years from now. If you open your arms and welcome socialism thinking it will hasten a refresh, you're mistaken. The "producers" of society cannot bring about that change with any form of violence, the card is just not available. If they wanted to act, they needed to decades ago, too late bucko.

Now, the leeches in socialism - once free shit stops, they have that card, they might resort to (unorganized) violence ala Ferguson on a multiple city scale. What the end result is after that is not beneficial, and will be worse than what we have now, however. So stop your hedonistic whining, grow up, and accept reality, not an "ideological perfect fairy tale land" or you're personal philosophy is no better than those you oppose. Work now to preserve your later.

This is almost identical to being young and just expecting your retirement to magically be there at the end of the rainbow while you sit on your duff for forty years. If you're not working for a good result today, it won't be there tomorrow - or ever. Once you grow up and realize it it's a bit too late.

Who is John Galt?


Socialism fails slowly and painfully, when those that have come to expect the free stuff have it taken away because the producers have lost incentive to excel, they start doing just enough to get by, because if they do more, they are taxed back down to that level anyway, with the excuse that they're just greedy... But it's not the producers that start the riots, it's the takers- when there is nothing left to take.

[HoneyBadger]

Honey badger; I agree whole heartedly, but where is this person?? I've been looking for YEARS.

Libertarian party, bro. Consistently supporting liberty and capitalism for everyone. Not the establishment.



Grant H, (and all the others that also think this) your belief that it is strictly a two party system is exactly what the two parties want you to think. It is the only thing that really gives them power. If everyone just stopped supporting the two establishment parties that everyone is so fed up with, they would starve and die tomorrow. Stop allowing them to create your reality.
