  1.  @Holipsism  , Shapiro did beat Cenk. Cenk simply told people to "Google it" when the issues are complex and require a much deeper discussion than "Google it". Kyle would do very poorly against Shapiro on policy issues as Kyle is a person who completely dismisses the other side. I have seen so many people rip on Shapiro but can never explain how he is wrong.

  2. He was a major fool during the Q&A session.

  3. Kyle hardly talks about policy though.

  4. Shapiro has multiple books, debated people in congress, has a law degree and a lot of success. I have yet to hear Kyle give a legit argument against Shapiro. Kyle is simply projecting at that point.

  5. I know, Kyle is a fool to dismiss Ben Shapiro like that.

  6. Erbyenbe, people do have different resources. I don't have a youtube channel, Shapiro and Kyle do. So they have more "speech" based on that as well. No different than a poor person having "less speech" than a rich one. Also, a rich person probably works so much they don't have time to attend rallies or go door to door in support of a candidate, so they donate money instead. Kyle gets around 30,000 views a video. Say if I created a youtube channel and only received 10,000 views a video. Would you demand that more people watch my videos or that less watch Kyle's video so there is no inequality in speech? A bribe is illegal as there will be quid pro quo. At that point it is not speech. That is the difference.

  7. Not mad. People claim Ann backed out when there is no evidence of it.

  8. Nothing wrong with that statement. Why spend that much tax dollars on foreigners? That is the point. If you give due process to non-Americans you have to pay for representation, and then a jury and a judge and so on.

  9.  @erbyenbe6586  , I love how people rip on Shapiro but can never explain how he is lying or wrong.

  10.  @hz0gzq , what makes you think Ann agreed to a debate to begin with?

  11. Barry, Kyle has talking points. If he actually talked policy he would accept the other side's position where he doesn't. He dismisses it.

  12. Shows you how worthless politicon is.

  13.  @Vulcano7965  , except Justice Democrats are not successful. They main person is AOC who is a moron and is a joke.

  14. Erbyenbe, money is speech in that you need money to buy air time for advertisement or for a space on a billboard. There are ways to show support for a candidate. One is attending rallies. One is posting a sign in your yard. One is dedicating an entire youtube channel to them. One is donating money to that candidate so they can pay for air time to advertise themselves. That is why money is speech in that case.
    4
  15. Erbyenbe, giving money to someone to fund their campaign is not different as it allows them to pay for advertising. People support candidates in many ways, one is donating money to their campaign. This has nothing to do with if Shapiro supports it or not. It has nothing to do with rich people. It has to do with logic. In order for a candidate to air a commercial on TV they need to pay for it. Thus money is speech. You are using money for speech. If you use money to buy special favors from politicians than money it not speech in that regards as you are not using it for speech. Thus that part is illegal. Compare it to the Watson v US case. In that case exchanging a gun for drugs is not the same as "using" the gun in a drug deal. "Using" the gun would be actually using the gun in a threatening manner in a drug deal, that leads to harsher sentencing.

  16. higglyjuff, his talking points are just that, talking points. He does not get into details of the policies, he just spews appeal to emotion talking points.

  17. Erbyenbe, just because someone gets a lot of money does not mean they will win. Also, it does not mean they will end up supporting the policies the donors do. You have to factor that in as well.
    3
  18. Erbyenbe, using money in campaigning is a form of speech. You use money to buy advertising time and space. At this point I can argue, based on your standard, that the government can censor all youtube videos they don't like as they are simply shutting down the computer or internet and not speech.

  19. Why don't we have actual experts discuss these issues?
    2
  20. Erbyenbe, I agree it does increase their chances of winning. But in the end money is used as speech, period. Now if you want to talk about corruption that is a different issue. At that point you push for limiting the powers of the federal government.
    2
  21. Erbyenbe, I am not saying the money does not corrupt them, but the law is the law. Money is speech in that case. So what do you do? You limit the power government has so it can't be bought. If you publicly fund campaigns you give more power to established politicians as they will create the laws and enforce them in their favor where only certain people get the funds. Publicly funded campaigns are worse. Someone like Bernie would have no chance as he would receive no money in that case.
    2
  22. Erbyenbe, at the federal level we have very little influence on laws. You talk about equal amounts of money for everyone. Say 200 people decided to run. Will be by an X amount for each, or will it be from a pool? How much and why? Also, you do know unions donate a lot of money as well, it isn't just corporations.
    2
  23. Erbyenbe, no, it is because I can only vote for a handful of congress members, same for you. You say we need to support candidates that don't take corporate money as if it is a novel solution where in reality this has been discussed for as long as government has existed. Also, what makes you think you can trust someone just because they don't take corporate money? Remember, many people take money from unions as well.
    2
  24. Erbyenbe, for as long as government has existed there have been corruption and money in it. To alleviate that problem you limit the powers government has and create more local government. You say "get money out of politics" as if you have come up with a new idea, you haven't. This is why the founding fathers placed limitations on government, to alleviate it becoming corrupt. My solution is to reduce the powers government has and give more to the states.
    2
  25. Name those systems. And you keep saying "right people are elected" as if that is a new thing. Wasn't Obama supposed to be one of those people? More power to the states will alleviate it as you have more power as a voter in a state.

  26. Big money baller, care to give me examples? I just watched his speech at Politcon.

  27. Mega X, how is Shapiro a "pseudo intellectual"?
    2
  28. Nothing at the federal level is ever determined by the majority of the people. The reason why is because the federal government is there to serve the states, not the people. The states serve the people. At the state level more things are passed based on a democratic vote, but never at the federal level.

  29. Revoltingsheeple, that is freedom, just like you have the freedom to refuse to go to those businesses. If there is a business who you feel is ran by a racist or a homophobic than you can refuse to go to the business. You can also leave a bad review of it online which will harm its business even more. You support shutting down a business and ruining people's lives for arbitrary reasons as well one can argue.

  30. jenna H, how are "right wingers" bigots towards Muslims?

  31. A major reason why we have Trump as president is that the political left refuses to have a dialogue with the other side. The two biggest candidates, Clinton and Bernie, refused to try to understand their opponents' position. Clinton hardly rallied in swing states and Bernie just spewed talking points when confronted by people with real concerns over his policies. Many republicans refused to speak up because if they did the left labeled them as bad people that needed to be punished. So enter Trump who had no care about what others said about him. He trolled politics and mainly the political left and he won. The left needs to learn how to have discussions and understand their opponents' viewpoints. Them not doing so is dividing our nation and is causing them to lose power.

  32. Revoltingsheeple, if you want to play the race card than I can argue how many on the left love to practice the "soft bigotry of low expectation".
    1
  33. Revoltinsheeple, if you want to look at every stupid thing a republican said you can do the same for the left. Like how Bernie said if you are white you can't be poor or how he praised breadlines. Or Warren and the who native american thing. David Hogg is a bully. He pushed to punish people that disagreed with him and on air said that people he disagreed with are "pathetic fuckers" with blood on their hands. The Emma point is all speculation. Of course she will deny bullying anyone. There is no proof if she did or didn't, it is pointless to argue it. The Charlottesville incident was a case of two radical groups fighting. The KKK and neo nazis were not heard from prior and have not been heard from since. Also noticed how they were peaceful until antifa and BLM showed up? Also notice the multiple times antifa gather? Way to cherry pick certain things. Keep doing it. You give some examples I will give you a lot more and use logic to show you how wrong you are.

  34. As for the rape quotes, Todd Akin did not win because of that comment. What is wrong with what Rich Santorum said? It is a bad situation. You push to move on. Maybe it requires consoling, maybe not. Bad things happen, you move on.

  35. What rights do transgender people lack?

  36. It is a serious question. How about you give me a list.

  37. The video was almost an hour long.

  38. Revoltingsheeple, what do you mean "be who they are"? We have standards and law based on gender so we have to enact some way to determine gender. No right is being violated there.
    1
  39. Revoltingsheeple, we have standards and laws based on gender. Take high school athletics for example. We have a problem of a girl transitioning to a boy thus they use steroids and beat the competition. In some sports it becomes dangerous. It isn't about accepting people or not accepting people. They have all the rights that everyone else has. It is about having standards to properly enforce laws. If you think the political right is losing then why do they have so much power now?

  40. Revoltingsheeple, it is similar to heritage and DNA. In my state native americans can receive scholarships and indian reservations are not taxed. I can't just claim to be a Native American and take advantage of those benefits. The same applies for gender.

  41. Kyle is not that knowledgeable. He is very ignorant on many topics.

  42. Kyle looked like a major fool during the Q&A session.

  43. Same reason why people on the left point to Bush.

  44. He supported many left wing ideas. Maybe you should listen to his reasoning.

  45. Mint Gell, the difference is we are paying for containment. There is a point you have to spend some tax dollars. You find a way to limit how much you spend. One way to limit that is deny due process.

  46. anticorncob6, who said I was "pro-war". Also, even if they are innocent they are not US citizens.
