It's impressive the change he's made from his videos 5-10 years ago pandering to the lowest common denominator of children just screaming and cussing at stupid shit

2018-08-08 23:05:58 UTC  

and shilling for trumP

2018-08-08 23:22:07 UTC  

i've liked pewdiepie as a person for a while, but couldn't stand his videos. now i like some of his stuff from time to time

2018-08-08 23:24:37 UTC  

This Rosie O’ Donnell mental breakdown on CNN is hilarious! She actually claimed that Trump rigged the elections, and is planning to do it again! She also claimed that Trump only has large rallies because they’re all paid actors!😂🤣😂

Rigging the election seems to just mean convincing people to vote these days.

2018-08-08 23:31:42 UTC  

every election is a rigged election except actual rigged elections

2018-08-08 23:31:50 UTC  

*vote for people I they don’t like

2018-08-08 23:34:46 UTC  

whats interesting is that both parties push the whole "you can vote for whoever you want" narrative, while also saying "fuck you if you vote third party"

2018-08-08 23:35:08 UTC  

its annoyingly inconsistent

2018-08-08 23:35:15 UTC  

and hypocritical

2018-08-08 23:36:19 UTC  

it's just extra insurance to prevent a 3rd party from ever gaining power, not that one ever actually will anyways

2018-08-08 23:36:51 UTC  

a 3rd party can only rise in this system after the death of a main party

2018-08-08 23:37:12 UTC  

The first past the post system is one of my biggest complaints about our system of government in how it makes 3rd party votes not just worthless, but a detriment to yourself, but changing that would mean taking away power from the two parties which means they're not going to change it

2018-08-08 23:38:05 UTC  

yeah that's exactly how i feel about it

2018-08-08 23:38:25 UTC  

I fully support people voting third party. I can’t wait for the two party system to die.

2018-08-08 23:38:36 UTC  

/\

2018-08-08 23:38:45 UTC  

two party system must GO

2018-08-08 23:38:52 UTC  

the issue with that is that the two party system can only ever die if the two party system votes itself out

2018-08-08 23:39:23 UTC  

got use the current parties to put in candidates that would make it happen

2018-08-08 23:39:23 UTC  

or there's a revolution, which is a whole nother can of very terrifying worms

2018-08-08 23:39:36 UTC  

Yeah. It won’t be easy. But in my opinion the Democratic and Republican Party are two of the worst things in America.

2018-08-08 23:39:43 UTC  

or do a general vote on whether to change it

2018-08-08 23:40:09 UTC  

there are just too many ways for the main parties to shut it down

2018-08-08 23:41:02 UTC  

for now

2018-08-08 23:41:31 UTC  

i dont think they could shut down EVERY angle of approach to it

2018-08-08 23:41:42 UTC  

without being authoritarian

2018-08-08 23:41:45 UTC  

the upcoming eventual collapse of the democratic party may give us a small window to force an anti-FPTP party in

2018-08-08 23:41:51 UTC  

but then we'd just have a revolt

2018-08-08 23:41:59 UTC  

yea

2018-08-08 23:42:16 UTC  

im unironically writing up a party platform lol

2018-08-08 23:42:32 UTC  

problem is, im currently alone on it.

2018-08-08 23:42:36 UTC  

but it unfortunately isn't a very common issue, especially given how both main parties are 100% against it

2018-08-08 23:43:01 UTC  

the question is whether the general public would be for it

2018-08-08 23:43:07 UTC  

ultimately

2018-08-08 23:43:14 UTC  

and they can both use each other as boogeymen to make sure that people are voting on other issues

2018-08-08 23:43:26 UTC  

and there will always be something pushed to the front as a more important voting issue

2018-08-08 23:43:56 UTC  

i mean i think the main issue with current third parties is that they are single issue

2018-08-08 23:44:05 UTC  

Dems and Repubs are broader

2018-08-08 23:44:27 UTC  

Libertarians and Independents are soooomewhat broad but not unified
