Maybe the two party system is for the best. If you give weird third party canidates actual positions of power, you legitimize their views. Do we really need communist or Alaskan separatist running around?

i think Perot had some valid points. his slim margin did set up Clinton's presidency, so i think it's a model to consider;
run an established fuckwit from either party
introduce a third party candidate, from the fringe of the fuckwits party
???
profit

He's the prime proponent of the war on drugs, the destruction of habeus corpus, and the militarization of the police. He's pretty much the worst.SuperJail Warden wrote:

yeah because the only third party candidates are weird outliers like bonafide communists and Alaskan separatists.SuperJail Warden wrote:

I voted Green party for governor a little while ago.
I've voted almost exclusively green party for the last 10 years.
I voted for Gary Johnson last election, and Nader in '04.

All the Republicans believe in those too and a third party candidate isn't happening. We need a democrat in 2016. We need Obama's policies to be continued until 2024. Even the not so great ones. America's foreign policy doesn't work because it changes every 4 to 8 years. Our domestic institutions are the same. It is for the best if major policy was allowed to run to its logical conclusion rather than someone coming in and messing with things to fit their ideology and vision. Continuity and stability leads to growth.Jay wrote:

That is why Biden is best. We just had 8 years of an African-American president. We can't have a woman now. Biden would be a return to normalcy. He would be a president of reconciliation and help heal the nation's spirit.

When President Romney recalls you to the Army for his war on war you won't be laughing.
Fuck Israel
you don't seem to understand 'Merican politics - the majority of the electorate is Democrat, thus ensuring a democrat for president for the foreseeable future. the voting districts have been carved up in a way that the republicans get majorities in most of them, then conceding the most populous districts that vote democrat to the democrats.Dilbert_X wrote:

the republicans have been keen on voter suppression, the democrats have been keen on meekly accepting the wins they get and not pressing their luck.
Romney was a shit candidate in '12, and will be in '16. Shit doesn't qualify for loss in 'Merica, it just makes the packaging more unsightly.
This is truly a republic form of government, the citizenry does not and has never democratically elected anyone, or passed legislation.
i laugh at anyone who champions democracy, especially those from the United States. If this country were a true democracy, we'd spend more time at the polls than our jobs, and then true republicants would have something to actually bitch about . . .

That cop desperately needs a bullet to the back of his neck.
It is my (as well as many others) opinion that MANY cops in this country think they are above the law and can do anything. That is a major issue affecting this country. It deserves as much discussion this election season as any other topic, but of course will get none.

It's interesting to see some of the vitriol coming from conservatives in regards to the Chris Kyle murder verdict. Support the troops at all cost, well, except of course mental health treatment. However, when delusional libeller Liar McShootypants gets killed as a result, you gotta take that veteran out back and put a bullet in him.

By the year 2050, China will have built a huge Navy bigger than the U.S.'s. Then they are going to take over Hawaii and the U.S. will not be able to do anything about it. Then all hell is going to break loose in the U.S. because we are suddenly only 49 states.
I'll probably be chopped up for Soylent Green by then. Too many people.
Why Hawaii, of all places? I'd think first they'd actually work towards adding Taiwan to their collection.
I don't think the Chinese would ever want Hawaii.

They want it as a base to attack the Americas.
They won't attack, they'll let them consume themselves out of existence.
Fuck Israel
