But the North doesn't have another option
The Tories are no better
with dianna abbacus doing the accounting
yea i'm disillusioned with all the parties
as is tradition when you are betrayed by the people you vote in
That's why I want a career in politics
And no joke, Trump inspired me
"If he can do it, why can't I?"
Yea that is an argument for sure
The current lot are useless by any standards
At least Trump is doing something
Heβs actually trying to do and doing things he was voted in for
Thatβs like an absolute rarity in politics
He has policies
Founding Father Alexander Hamilton had a quote
About why he chose Jefferson (who he hated) over Burr
"Jefferson has beliefs, Burr has none"
Was Jefferson an asshole? Yes, but he's an asshole with a plan
@TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh) your understanding of American history is very weird. Jefferson was one of the best people to ever serve as US president, even if it was a bit of a hypocrite when it came to slavery
@Tyberius D That's what I mean
But a good President
@TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh) how so?
Guy raped his slave, enslaved his bastard mixed children and was an utter twat towards people like Hamilton
Jefferson vs Adams in 1800 was a case of an asshole (Jeffie boy) vs a corrupt person (Adams) @Tyberius D
@TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh) dude, Hamilton got in a fight with almost everyone he talked to!
Jefferson seems like one of those people that would hold a grudge and exact vengence (like Hamilton but smarter)
Basically, Jeffie boy is old-school Tory, Hammie is Labour
Don't judge my nicknames for them XD
@TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh) I would flip the parties
@Tyberius D Nah, the Labour Party is mainly about being loud enough to be noticed. The old-school Tories are about sliding your way to power
Who the fuck cared about May befote he contested for leader?
Same with Cameron
@TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh) granted that the political parties work a little different over here, but by policy you would want to flip them.
Nah, by the way they get noticed @Tyberius D
Personality
Jefferson was born arrogant
Hamilton grew arrogant
Also, isn't the Jeffersonian idea of States having freedom more Republican?
Correct me if I'm wrong
@TheBritishGamer β€π (Meh) I don't care for your argument on personality, you have jackasses on both sides of the aisle, in both countries.
Jefferson to a large degree was a social liberal, especially considering he hated the Christians. To large degree he was a constitutionalist, until the Louisiana purchase where reality smacked him upside the head. Economically he was pretty conservative, he would probably be labeled a libertarian today.
Hamilton was indeed a federalist, but also was the nation's real first economist.
The problem is political parties don't line up the way they used to. A big government, economic conservative and a deist, protectionist don't really have a place in our modern political theory.
