I think your unwillingness to accept uneven outcomes is the real problem.

And you’re not interested in understanding the point he’s making.

Psh. Why stop there? I think we should tax other forms of personal property as well and redistribute those to the less fortunate. For example, if you make over $100,000 a year and have a four bedroom house those bedrooms should be taxed at an appropriate rate - somewhere around 25%. The government would take…

It’s like that fact checking meter on snopes.com Castro comes in at “mostly an asshole”

So the Americans rounded up the political opponents and shot them? Because if they did, you’re correct and those things are the same. Buuuuut if they didn’t and another group of people rounded up political opponents and shot them, then you’re wrong and those things are not the same.

Juuuuust so we’re clear here. The cuban exiles living in Miami, in your example, are the REAL oppressors here and are akin to slaveholders?

Most likely arrest the person plotting to kill the person and give him due process. That’s probably what the US government would do.

Thaaaat’s what I thought.

Welp, I don’t know what to tell you. I am privileged, but I’m not wrong. I could have either voted how I voted in the state of Washington, felt good about it and Trump would have been elected or I could have voted for the way you wanted me to vote in the state of Washington, felt like a coward and Trump would have…

You’re response to “what if you were someone who wants to see a rise of a third part?” is “I wouldn’t start a third party.” And then completely ignoring everything else I said regarding long term goals? What happens if a 3rd party yanks 40% of democratic votes and 40% of the republican vote in the next general? What…

God I’m glad I set a reminder to come back to this retarded comment after the inevitable Vikings crash.

OK, I have to ask. How would you propose legitimizing, organizing and creating a third party? Like, if you were someone who felt that a third party is what our system needs what steps would you take? Me? I’d organize, campaign, recruit and of course VOTE for the party I want to see rise to power. Why would you go…

Of course it doesn’t have to. It only has to if you’re saying “the rise of this demagogue is similar to the rise of this demagogue.”

You sure? Because the comparison falls apart really quickly if you read the Nazis rose to power. The fear mongering and all that is comparable but the contexts couldn’t be more different. Post World War 1 Germany left the country in financial ruins and politically out of favor with the, well, the entire world. …

Agreed. Let’s break out the immigration test to make sure everyone coming into our country speaks the right way.

Uhhh... You’re not a little worried about the somehow/someday factor? Like what if you’re big piece of shit because the government doesn’t like your pinko/communist talk and decides to release your emails to the world?

You can’t. The internet has fucked this up beyond any repair. Try telling them that there’s been a net influx of zero of immigrants and you’ll be called a liar. Everyone’s their own teacher now.

“who think platitudes, scapegoating and vague promises”

I’m not saying you’re wrong about where the support comes from, but this chart http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/11/08/us/politics/election-exit-polls.html (if you scroll to income) shows that Trump saw a 16% increase from 2012 in voters making less than 30K annually. It also shows that HRC saw an increase in…

I dunno if the point is to be impressed, but if you’re like me you’re asking “how the fuck did that just happen?” At least I got some answer now.
