  1. I exult at my exalted self.

  2.  @dpersonal4187  : The 2 major parties are viral. As soon as a 3rd party becomes a threat, one or the other of the major parties will appropriate the message and absorb most of the voters likely to vote for the 3rd party. In elections where I'm not in "lesser of two evils" mode, I typically vote Libertarian, even when they field a dumb-ass, like Gary Johnson. That's what I did in 2016, which was basically a pro-Hillary vote. But the choice was between the Car Salesman and The Witch, as I saw it in 2016. Trump's done a far better job than expected, in my opinion. Domestically, he sure pisses off the Progressives, who are quite mad when it comes to domestic policy, and pleases Progressives by pulling the hell out of Syria and now, Afghanistan. But to a libertarian-minded person such as myself, Trump's doing the same thing, abroad that he is at home. Cutting down government meddling. Progressives have this unbelievable faith in the wisdom of bureaucrats. They criticize the HELL out of them, and then eagerly vote them even MORE power. Insane.

  3.  @dieselface1  : Bernie is a hack of the worst kind. Uses our insecurities and resentments to obtain power.

  4.  @baldiedash1  : Many models of government can work on a small(ish) scale, especially if the people are more or less homogeneous, and aligned with government policy. The bigger and more diverse a nation is, the less power you should give the central government, so that the PEOPLE can decide most matters closer to home. I don't favor a state religion, but the U.S. Constitution only said that the federal government was silent on religion (as is science). If a state wanted to be stupid, that'd be up to them. America is too diverse for ANY state to adopt a religion in the modern era, unless there's a Muslim takeover. And we see how eager Islam is to impose Sharia wherever their numbers are significant enough to bully communities into it. Christianity used to be like that, but the Reason and Love flowing from the lessons of Jesus Christ eventually put the kibosh on those Puritanical practices. The only religion I'm really concerned about, nowadays, is the leftist ideology that's taken Christianity's place. Question bloated government and be labeled a heretic (white supremacist, bigot, hater, racist, denier, ...), in similar fashion to those assholes in our past who made the lady wear the Scarlet "A" on her dress. No amount of bullying and harassment is out of line, when going after heretics. All the features of a religion, with the unspoken article of faith in Government as God.

  5. Co-opting the message of 3rd-party candidates is how the Democratic and Republican Parties remain the two major parties through multiple cycles. And there's really not that much real difference between the parties, once the bastards get voted in.

  6. "Exulted." As in "celebrated the win, exultantly." So kind of a fist-pump moment.

  7. Neither do I. When you follow the money, you see a small cadre of elites deciding the Daily Narrative. FOX is slightly better. They'll expose some truths the others won't. But they, too, have their corporate masters to placate.

  8. This'd be the perfect channel if y'all weren't socialists.

  9. Smearing Bernie? You mean the guy who never had a job until he found a way to leverage other people's money to set himself up with a political career? I wouldn't mind a Progressive in charge of foreign policy, if they're all like Jimmy Dore. But domestic policy? Insane. You guys hate oppressive government and then you race to create the forms that empower oppressive regimes. Progressives just need to figure out that the corruption they hate will ALWAYS be there, and the only (imperfect) solution is to limit those bastards' mandate in the first place. Y'all just can't resist the siren call of "Free Stuff" paid for by others. Put y'all's money where your damn mouths are, and help your fellow man. You/We can do a much better job of that than government bureaucrats out to grow their fiefdoms and treat the rest of us like serfs. To MILLIONS of Americans, poverty is their Way of Life. Those on the receiving end - and more insidiously - those on the giving end. End poverty and all those bureaucrats would have to find actual, you know, productive jobs.
