Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:Trump said everyone is out to get him. The Clintons, the press, conniving women, Wall Street, Washington DC, global special interests, corporations, Barack Obama, illegal immigrants—you name it, they're out to destroy our great nation.

You honestly - key word: "Honestly" - think a guy who is as disrespectful of his own daughter is going to be more peaceful? The guy who said, "why can't we use nukes?" The guy who says he will get rid of ISIS in a month - all without knowing anything about the situation and the greater damage he can cause - or civilian lives he would (gladly) sacrifice while cleaning out our bomb arsenal. You've seen his scorched earth debate policy, how he's now claimed that "the shackles are off" which can't be one of the traits you want in someone with their finger on the button. You can't possibly think that and expect anyone to think you have more than 2 IQ points or even a shred of honesty. OR not think you have an Agenda that makes truth telling secondary.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: The answer is "yes". I believe that Trump is less warlike than Hillary, and far less likely than Hillary to start a war. WHY do I think that? Because the neocons have come out in force against Trump, while Hillary has the full blessing of neocons in the State Department and Pentagon and has been running neocon policy for her entire political career, including in her current campaign. How Hillary has bamboozled you all into thinking that she's a progressive, a liberal, or even a moderate it beyond me.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Trump is correct. The "open border" international elites and neocons (as exemplified by George Soros) are terrified of a Trump win, and the press has been running a nonstop THUGR-style spew of hatred, fear-mongering, speculation, allegation, and even more fear-mongering. For example, the time that the media spent on a snippet of tape from 11 years ago compared to the time that the press has spent on ALL of Wikileak's releases on Hillary is 20:1. Imagine that! Their accusations are like Hillary's accusations, seamlessly blending fact (Trump had a loss), speculation (which could have resulted in him not paying taxes for X years), to allegation (Trump didn't pay taxes for X years) to emotive charge (Trump doesn't support our troops). See how easy that is? Of course you do because you do it too, and I've certainly been the victim of your trolling often enough to recognize it. YOU don't recognize what you're doing tho, which is the scary part. You think you're reasonable, fair-minded and objective, and that you believe in freedom of speech! The reality is that Hillary is the moral equivalent of Trump. She's a psychopathic delusional elitist warmonger, and Trump is an elitist narcissistic capitalist. If you're trying to pick "who is the better person" you're choosing from the wrong bin, although I give Trump the slight edge because he doesn't advocate killing millions of people. There is more than enough dirt to tar Hillary IF the MSM were doing her like they're doing Trump ... but of course, they're not, because the elites really really just want "business as usual" and no interference in their money-making plans ... which btw includes war.

Quote:This is how: There is a slight difference between Trump’s and Hillary’s Tax Plans. Maybe the third debate will cover that.
Quote:Perhaps because no one here thinks that? Perhaps because you're just making sh*t up again? If war is so good for making money as you say, then according to you, wouldn't Mr. Capitalist be all over that?

I would rather vote for a dead person than a Republican at this point in time + Trump is one of the most repugnant humans on the planet, so the choice is easy.

No, actually sig has undergone a pretty serious personality change. I know why - her old way of getting attention quit working. She needed a new spiel. I wouldn't be surprised if she actually doesn't give a shit about Trump or Russia, but has invented the Russian Troll personality just to keep herself in the center of every thread. She is quite good at manipulation and, apparently, starved for attention. Those are things that have not changed about her.

Quote:The answer, of course, will be both familiar and obvious: as Sen. Lindsey Graham put it four years ago, "We're not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term."
Quote:Donald Trump put Graham's theory to a destruction test this year, and it turned out to be absolutely right. The hard part for the GOP is figuring out what to do about it. How do they attract more non-white votes...

Quote:Long before I got here it must have been obvious 1kiki and SIG were morally bankrupt. Yet since Putin’s excursions into Georgia, Ukraine and Syria, it has been as clear as black ink on white paper. It has also become just as obvious they troll on behalf of Russia... Clinton will win and hopefully the republicans and democrats will take heed of what transpired in the 2016 election. They should work together too exercise the demons they have created and replace them with civility.

Quote:If you think Trump - as president of the US - wouldn't be able to find a way to profit from WAR (or at least try to), then you are seriously not paying attention or just pretending to be stupid to avoid being honest.

Quote:I think Signym is a persuader and con artist, as is Trump. The persuasion is not in our best interests. It is for the benefit of the con artist. Signym gets satisfaction from making an argument.

I like to examine people's assumptions and their logic. It's learning tool because it helps me examine my own. I always hope for a robust debate, not a heated, emotional one. People just get way too emotional about their ideas. That makes it impossible for them to examine their own ideas, which makes it impossible to self-direct. But unless you have some sort of distance from your ideas ... yanno, examine them with a bit of sang froid and change them if necessary ... you will always be "preprogrammed" by someone else.

Quote:and I know what real-life GOP voters in Texas want from their GOP, too. By the way, what Republicans say about Democratic policy in NOT even close to what I know the policy is. Does "Hillary is a WAR CANDIDATE" sound familiar to you? When I read that in Signym's sign-off, it reminds me that the GOP controlled Congress spends about a half trillion dollars a year too much on defense, the CIA, the NSA, the top-brass military retirement benefits, the H-bomb modernization program, the whole shebang. Obviously there will be war because Congress couldn't justify the annual expense if they were not always pushing the President to go to war. Congress will be pushing Hillary, as they did Obama and Bush, to do something, anything, just so long as it is military.
Quote:It is apparent to me that the average voter is content with a half trillion dollars too high military expenditure. Got to support the troops, you know.

I pick Democrats because I know the policies they are selling Okay, let's go a little deeper on this. I known the policies they are "selling" too. So, how much have they accomplished? When I voted for Obama (yes, I did) I had a few goals in mind: Heal the economy. Make affordable healthcare available for our daughter, who has a pre-existing health condition. Stop meddling in the Mideast. Restore our Constitutional protections. So, do Dem party leaders believe in "truth in advertising"?

Congress will be pushing Hillary, as they did Obama and Bush, to do something, anything, just so long as it is military. But "Congress" isn't "Trump". I noticed that altho the "Trump tape" had come out, it wasn't until Trump said in the debate that he DISAGREED with his running mate about who the real enemy is that Paul Ryan became "neutral" about Trump. Congressional, career, and think-thank neocons of both parties are against Trump. What does that tell you, if anything? Quote:It is apparent to me that the average voter is content with a half trillion dollars too high military expenditure. Got to support the troops, you know. The average voter may be bamboozled- are you the average voter? Why do you even refer to them to explain your vote? I don't get your point. Your vote is YOUR vote, right? Still, I wonder- What are you FOR? I hear that you are for Democrats and their advertising. But which issues are meaningful to you? Hillary is a WAR CANDIDATE, and that's just what we need, right? More war?

Quote: 1) "A variety of reasons" .... such as? Let's say I want to vote for Trump for "a variety of reasons". That's an inadequate description, right?= SIGNY I'd be happy to: Fewer Human Rights (Includes Gays, Latinos, Blacks, Women. etc.)
Quote:Bad for our International Standing
Quote:Against National Health Care
Quote:Pro War Mongering
Quote:General lack of Intelligence as exhibited by many Republicans
Quote: 2) No, only 6 years of obstruction. From 2008 to 2011 Dems had majority in Congress; America was in the depths of a financial and economic collapse, and Obama had a popular mandate from the public. He could have done anything: Single payer healthcare/public options had a huge public approval (but, yanno, the elites didn't like it) and reining in the banks would have met with a roar of approval (but yanno, ditto). I find it unpersuasive. What do you think Obama was blocked from doing?= SIGNY I disagree. You don't have to have a majority to be Obstructionist. But for the sake of discussion, let's say you are right, 6 years. So I Hate the Republicans for being Obstructionist and hurting our country for 6 years. Aren't you?
Quote:3) That's pretty generic. What do you mean by that? What evidence do you have to show for that?= SIGNY Democrats have always been leaders when it comes to programs for those in need. You may hate the needy and think they don't deserve any help, but then you would just be proving my point.
Quote: 4) "Dems less war-mongerish than repubs". In what way? What evidence? = SIGNY Hmmm, I don't think you're trying very hard. Maybe your posting quota is down? Getting heat from Putin for Trump HQ? Military spending as already posted by Second. Bush v Obama? How many wars have the repubs started in the last 50 years and how many have the Democrats been trying to get us out of?

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: SECOND Same thoughts: 1) What policies are they [Dems] selling, specifically, versus GOP policies sold in Texas? Which ones do you approve, and why? 2) Do you think policies sold = policies implemented? 3) Evidence, please. And why is that important to you? 4) Too much spending on "defense"... would you use the savings to reduce the deficit, or to fill out the coffers of social spending? If social spending, which programs would you enhance?
