!agree

hey kids

1/8th Cherokee here running for congress

@Nine still a better love story than twilight

that's erotic

honestly

race isn't a thing, and heritage is a trap

in general

can Tim please talk about florida governed race QQ

we have a mindless socialist running who's plan is to make Floridians homeless LOL

No joke he wants to implement Medicare for all, and his best answer to pay for it is going to two or three other states and going in together knowing that we can't put in a proportional amount of money to pay for how much we would use it

So basically going to other states and asking for their state tax money LMAO

What his other option is even worse, which is cranking up property taxes and implementing a 20% income tax

Fun fact about Florida, it's got the same problem California does where everyone out-of-state invests in real estate in Florida

So even in small towns rent is way inflated, borderline unaffordable

Mathematically someone who makes 15 an hour would end up spending $800 a month more just to get Medicare

And I don't know anybody when f****** brain cells that would pay $800 a month for Medicare

Not just that LMAO

But he doesn't seem to know what governor does

It's part of his platform that he's for impeaching Trump

Even an interviews people remind him that Governor doesn't actually vote on that

Then he starts talking about it's not just about Florida it's about Haiti, and Puerto Rico

Like mother f***** you're not the governor of Haiti of Puerto Rico

Well luckily we have a moderate Republican that actually had a plan prior to our algae crisis

Of course Rick Scott is a piece of s***

But desantis is looking pretty good

Well he was talking about building a water containment Facility South of Okeechobee to prevent the runoff from getting out into the ocean were it f*** s*** up

As far as the Socialist he ran his town into the ground

Crime rates there have gone through the roof

They had like seven hundred crimes in a six month period

Apparently they actually beat out Jacksonville in murders per capita this year, but don't quote me on that

To me it's just crazy that the choice the left is providing is basically Obama 2.0

Like here is a black man who speaks calmly, vote for him

Is that the best the Democratic party can provide as an alternative to the Republicans?

Is this a game where I get to choose between Denmark and Gulag level socialists?

I mean tell me wrong, I'm glad I have a moderate Republican to vote for

But I have the same issues that $10, as someone that's moderate I need a decent alternative on the left

I like half a say Tim does, it autocorrects to $10

Speech to text is a hell of a drug

Anyone else really enjoying timcast?

I liked him before, but the timcast format makes him so much edgier and frustrated LMAO

You know, I will always be a Centrist

But in reality the left is going way too far to the left and the right is happy to go towards the center to pick up those votes

I think the issue is that even though the definitions of where the line is drawn changes, people like Tim make the mistake of thinking that his values are tied to the name left and right

When in reality I'm simply uncompromising to my values even if the political landscape changes around me, I would still say I'm a Centrist, even if at this point I'm like 80% Republican because of how much we have shifted to the left

My biggest worry at this point is the left losing another 2 or 4 years in a row

And then just radicalizing and trying to overthrow the government

A second biggest fear is that by the time the next generation is a beige, the Red Wave will become so hyper dominant that the left won't even be competition anymore and it'll simply turn into who can be more right-wing

*next generation is of age

Yeah, and that's a terrible thing LMAO

The capitalist in me wants people to compete because we win

At the moment it's not really direct competition it's more or less just hysteria on both ends of the spectrum with a large chunk of Common Sense siding with the right at this point

Well, the funny thing is, today I am practically considered conservative but in 2006 when I graduated high school and was able to vote I would very clearly be considered a liberal

What part of me just thought about it in a more abstract archetypical sense

If progress is against conservation

Progress will eventually reach the point where it is no longer useful, and at that point conserving progress is more important

If the progressive representation is no longer useful, they might create their own problems just to remain relevant

Check your f****** pronouns

Well in my case I will always be pro-choice even if I can see valid arguments

And that's mainly just because I think some people shouldn't breed LMAO

So in reality it would just be people fighting to be moderate

Adopting ideas the previous left had, in the aftermath of their own train wreck

It just doesn't seem like a winning strategy

Yes they are

Why don't really look at it as liberal vs conservative

I look at us Progressive versus conservative

Even though the word Progressive might be the wrong word to use

It's a matter of attempt to change versus keep what's working

What is important because I look at conservatives the way you would look at a control

And the progressive in theory should be the variable, and when they push for a small change, we should be able to objectively look back and see if it was worse or better than what we had

Yeah I mean don't get me wrong American politics is so beyond f***** up

I don't feel like either party represents core ideas

Like I have no idea why the right-wing has adopted Christian traditionalism as a large part of their platform

It depends, I see plenty of obstacles

Religion just doesn't have a place in government, especially when it is to decide policy

I would say I definitely lean libertarian

And my Solutions to some of those problems do not use religion as a factor

I'm not saying religion doesn't have utility, in fact anybody who ignores that is willfully ignorant

The issue is that some of the principles that religion adopted serve utility at a time but are vestigial now

A good example would be homophobia

There's no utility and homophobia in 2018

But it still remains part of a religion, and obstructed legislature to prevent marriage of it

A my stance would simply be that marriage should not be part of the government at all anyways

If two or more people want to form some sort of civil legal binding agreement they should be able to

Capitalism is pretty Progressive LMAO

those are different

one is about abuse

the other is consenting adults

FUCK YOU

brb

back

okay so no bois

being gay isnt a mental illness

i actually would argue it's a natural consequence of abundance

look at previous empires that homophobia vs didnt

homophobia had utility when people starved and died all the time

you couldnt afford not to participate in reproduction

but when abundance was there, birth rates naturally slowed - people were less interested in having children, and homosexuality was okay

they could AFFORD sex for fun

ofcourse sometimes that was because of slavery XD

it does, but at the same time
