Non Footy Chat Thread II

[I'm a loser baby...]

18-25 year olds are made up of smart merkins and dumb merkins. Some of them are capable of independent thought, some of them aren't. Same goes for any other age group.

Any suggestion otherwise is f**ken stupid.

I'd suggest otherwise.

 

[Kornstar]

Korny will be distracted by something shiny before then.

Hahahahaha, that is 100% accurate. I have a very short attention span......

 

[strider]

I'd suggest otherwise.

Clearly you're in the white middle aged uneducated bracket

 

[Gronk]

So voting is not anonymous? .... how else do they know how these most intelligent 18-25s in the universe voted for? ... i hope its not more exit polling

Don't know. The other factor that needs to be taken into account is that these 18-25s are the ones who actually bothered to register.

I would suggest to you (OK I am guessing) that those 18-25s who spend their lives being influenced by Kim Kardashian et al. as @Kornstar suggests would probably not have the inclination to register and then take time out of their insular lives to vote.

Well i tried to google and it suggested it IS a secret ballot, but i have no idea if they also make you tick boxes for statistical purposes

But my assumption is they dont't and that map you posted is likely another bit of propaganda knocked up by some geniuses who polled 0.1% of people and came up with the great conclusions they did pre-election

I think that's probably right.

Cool the NYT are into pretending they know how people voted

I would suggest that people already so influenced by celebrities would listen and respond to the barrage of social media posts about registering, reminders to register, reminders to vote, their stickers that they did in fact vote.

Although to be honest it is all irrelevant, he won, move on.

All this post election justification that he didn't really win because people did or didn't vote is pointless, just sit back and float in 100 days that you were right and the Trump supporters were wrong......it obviously makes you feel better for some reason.

It's not about me being right or feeling better about anything. All I want is global stability, economic growth and equitable responsibility to all communities. I'm more than happy to give him a wide berth, leave him be and certainly wont be deflecting or gloating if things do or don't work out.

Weren't you the one that made the comment about 'laughing about people getting worked up about it'? You obviously get a kick out of this shit as well.

I am just trying to understand why people are so upset about him when they really have no idea about the way American politics works.

Sure, he is an outspoken dickhead but most politicians are dickheads and liars, so he's not much different, just has a bigger mouth.

Do you think he has women working for him? Do you think he treats them all like shit? Does he have any non white people working for him? What are the facts? Does anyone know other than what the MSM tell you?

If you want global stability then why focus on just him? I don't see you talking much about other world politics. What about the Middle East? Europe?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I think Bernie Sanders summed it up pretty well.

http://www.smh.com.au/world/us-elec...ent-of-the-united-states-20161109-gslusg.html

"Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics and the establishment media. People are tired of working longer hours for lower wages, of seeing decent paying jobs go to China and other low-wage countries, of billionaires not paying any federal income taxes and of not being able to afford a college education for their kids - all while the very rich become much richer.

"To the degree that Mr. Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him. To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him."

 

[Gronk]

Probably because he said that he was going to round up mexicans and muslims and deport them. Wind back the free trade agreement with us. Increase the stockpile of nuclear weapons, increase the use of coal and oil use and wind back alternative energies etc etc etc.

What he does and his relationships with both allies and those who are perhaps enemies has a lot to do with stability.

What about Middle East and Europe ? What would you like to discuss ?

Why would you assume that everyone who is against him doesn't understand how American politics work? That doesn't make sense.

As if Bernie Sanders knows anything about American politics...
