I mean.. Guess people here me included get pretty into it.

Still, more civil than any ive ever seen

Also, way less smug here.

Well most of us here agree on nearly everything.

Well theres always the smug types.

I mean thats a given on the issue.

I’m in another political server that gets pretty toxic.

Still kinda sad as well in a way.

When only one political leaning watches Tim

Is it cause people disagree or consider him false or something? Or that they trust more mainstream news?

Not one but I think mainly republican now.

Or they disagreed, I imagine people assumed he was biased whenever he says that he is on the left.

Lol, someone should make a strawpoll for that.

Anyway, gotta go now.

See ya.

lol that's nothing

not big news

i mean

i'm more worried about people getting killed

Where's Stoned Tim Pool?

it would be pretty cool if there was a discord server with different political views

There is.

He hasn't joined yet?

I'd love to know who STP is.

Stone Temple Pilots

😜

The other STP - Tim's doppelganger.

tim pool was responsible for scott weiland's death

🤔

Wut

It is interesting how quickly CNN says Obama's phony birth certificate means Sheriff Joe is a birther. All Joe is saying is that the document can't be verified as authentic. http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/10/politics/joe-arpiao-barack-obama-cnntv/index.html

Why don't they listen to his statements about the piece of paper and debate him on that instead of calling him names and shutting down the conversation?

Because crying normy news has always done that.

Ever since mid 2003 it feels like. Ever since they started their hate on George Bush. It only grew through the years.

Well I also heard that the woman responaible for verefying it ended up dying despite surviving the initial plane crash.

I mean there is some reason the birther movement started.

Rip

I'm gonna hang out in vc but I can't talk for like 20m

anybody has some thoughts on Iran's protests?

it's been two weeks now

I’m skeptical about the sources of any unrest in the Middle East

i don't like how any news outlet covering the story forget to mention that the current president of Iran is a moderate and is trying his best to bring change

thay would require them doing research on the situiation before reporting

The neocons are salivating right now I know that

dude, all i want is no drone strikes in iran

the best course of action in Iran right now is to just verbally suport the protesters. Any more than that you will just give more power to the opposition. Let the unrest come from with in.

yeah

I find it strange when people want a president that understands the people but refuse to vote for a third party candidates.

https://youtu.be/OPzJ07lrIlE

People are led to believe only two options exist, and they vote accordingly, even when those choices are extremely unappealing.

It's also a matter of coverage. Third parties weren't allowed into the primary debates, if I remember?

True.

#shithole is the trending tag we deserve

The problem being in the US, there actually are only two options.

CGPGrey did a great video on the problems with first-past-the-post voting systems

Well, a third party is *technically* possible, but it would take so much coordination and the entire country voting them in via the "write-in" option.

Basically, yes. Unless the third-party can win in their first running, they're guaranteed to never be more than 'voting for those guys is why that person I dislike the most won last time, so I won't this time'

Seems third parties have to get the support of 15% of the electorate to even be included in the debates.

The spoiler effect is real

And how do they reach 15% if people don't see them as an option?

i think a third party would only be viable if big money is taken out of politics (lol)

No

It would require a fundamental change to the very voting system used.

From FPTP to something like Single Transferrable Vote

Are those similar to ranked-choice voting?

Oh lol, PJW made a vid of the meme.

Wait, he did? Oh I've got to see this.

Dey do not know da whey.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQQHq5wfFQc

Video in question.

Just the reaction this meme is getting makes me want to perpetuate it.

I don't even find the meme all that funny.

It got old quick

Yeah, it came off a bit strong. People killed it. lol

Yeah

When I read the polygon article it used the term "memsters" and that killed me.

I mean PJW did logan paul and the one about soyboys so it kinda makes sense.

Memsters, close to keemstar.

Still, kinda sad I just don read any news on games beyond what I see on their specific subreddits.

Polygon, destroyers of fun eh
