Well, good luck however. We will be watching

2018-01-06 18:57:36 UTC  

thb I don't think he's getting 2020 either, but I think he has "served" an important purpose; he's made both political parties question everything and re-evaluate themselves. He mad the dems realize they don't have a base they can abuse continuously, the reps release their "youth vote" doesn't see eye-to-eye with their stuck in the mud attitude.

where's my anarcho-nationalist people's socialist republics party of greater utah?

2018-01-06 18:58:13 UTC  

Who knows really? It was only around a year ago people said he had no chance.

2018-01-06 18:58:24 UTC  

Things can change drastically in a while.

2018-01-06 18:58:39 UTC  

Or maybe people got too confident there.

2018-01-06 18:58:40 UTC  

@Porcelain chips I'm not sure the Democrat or Republican parties as a whole are self-aware enough to realize that

2018-01-06 18:58:41 UTC  

none of it really matters because either way the US is regressing towards Plato's republic

2018-01-06 18:58:44 UTC  

@Porcelain chips Look at Democrats, everything they're doing currently points to them just waiting out Trump so they can get back to their agendas first in 2018 by repealing everything, and 2020 by "taking back" the Presidency

2018-01-06 18:58:48 UTC  

that's all they want

2018-01-06 18:58:50 UTC  

Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii is DNC but seems reasonable. What about her as Presidential Candidate?

2018-01-06 18:58:53 UTC  

Just to go back to their agendas

2018-01-06 18:59:12 UTC  

or is she not in the suitpants-afficionado circle?

2018-01-06 18:59:14 UTC  

Isnt it a narrative that theres a significant portion of people who are neither. Like the people who went Obama -> Bernie -> Trump?

2018-01-06 18:59:36 UTC  

And didnt vote Johnson cause wasted vote

2018-01-06 18:59:45 UTC  

@GingaBomber I was one of those

2018-01-06 18:59:57 UTC  

Down to the T?

2018-01-06 19:00:01 UTC  

Yep

2018-01-06 19:00:06 UTC  

Tulsi Gabbard won't get the support from the party, they will go for someone like Andrew Cuomo instead

2018-01-06 19:00:07 UTC  

Huh... Okay then

2018-01-06 19:00:25 UTC  

Didnt expect that to be an answer

2018-01-06 19:00:29 UTC  

Just because it's a "narrative" doesn't mean it doesn't have some truth to it

2018-01-06 19:00:57 UTC  

Well, I kinda made it up from memory. I mean I have seen people admit that

2018-01-06 19:00:59 UTC  

well, a shame that good people cant get up by their own merits anymore 😉

2018-01-06 19:01:06 UTC  

Most just wanted change

2018-01-06 19:01:25 UTC  

And well, people like those 3 being candidates were a symtom, people wanted to be back in control

2018-01-06 19:01:39 UTC  

Rock the boat as people say

2018-01-06 19:02:08 UTC  

Honestly, I think what we need before another alternative party (because technically, the Libertarians *are* an alternative) is term limits and age limits for all political offices

2018-01-06 19:02:21 UTC  

Hillary really alienated me from the dems. I've always voted blue but then I got a letter a few weeks before the election; it was her "thanking" me for my support. I am on disability and have never donated to the party. My father and other family members have. They never got a thank you letter. I did. I am the only woman in the family; the ones who donated and supported her were hard-working men; this really broke me and made me distance myself from her entirely.

2018-01-06 19:03:01 UTC  

Pics of the letter with names blacked out?

2018-01-06 19:03:18 UTC  

Or not actually, I might be able to google it

2018-01-06 19:03:24 UTC  

so you saw this as pandering to you as part of a special interest group? well, thats pretty corporate huh

2018-01-06 19:03:32 UTC  

bad style

2018-01-06 19:03:47 UTC  

Or they didnt think she would have noticed

2018-01-06 19:03:50 UTC  

@GingaBomber I'll have to go find it. It's a generic letter but the rest of my family never recieved one.

2018-01-06 19:04:03 UTC  

Ah thanks anyway.

2018-01-06 19:04:15 UTC  

Do DM it to me, in case of all the comments flood it out

2018-01-06 19:04:17 UTC  

If you okay

2018-01-06 19:04:23 UTC  

Okay.

2018-01-06 19:04:41 UTC  

Should clarify that I aint american, but I found the politics there fascinating

2018-01-06 19:05:02 UTC  

I'm a gay guy, and I voted for Trump because of numerous reasons, but what made me interested in politics in general was first #Gamergate, and second was in political conversations, people would speak on my behalf/imply that I was "obviously" a democrat because I was gay
