He posted a status update saying he wanted to drag racists and anti-gay christians into the streets and beat them to death. The insane amount of hearts and likes that post got was really unnerving.

boops_popmarket Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Here is an interesting article about Trump's seemingly complicated appeal to conservatives and evangelicals. https://georgelakoff.com/2016/07/22/understanding-trump/ Some interesting theories that seem logical for some of the groups that are gravitating towards his rhetoric.

Shitty Rambo Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Officially I don't think Gary Johnson has ever endorsed the whole 'Feel The Johnson' slogan, it's his supporters pushing it. Personally I think it's dumb and detrimental to the Libertarian message, however if it makes a young voter on FB chuckle/check him out then so be it. I can't knock a dick (pun intended) joke, I have a podcast and Twitter account built upon them. WAXXX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 She makes some decent points about the parallels between the RNC and the DNC manipulating party rules to select the candidate they prefer but I disagree about his endorsement. I'd argue he took the more difficult path because of his principles, not in spite of them. It might have been fun to watch Bernie spurn the DNC but to pretend his pragmatic approach isn't principled seems a bit of a stretch. He lost, whether fairly or unfairly, is irrelevant with regards to the coming election. Moving forward I don't blame him for choosing a path which he (rightly or wrongly) believes will result in the most progress towards his progressive agenda. He won't run for president again and this will, in no way, hurt his reelection chances in his home state. What's the endgame to him not endorsing? There isn't much he could conceivably hope to accomplish from that position. Sure, maybe he doesn't get labeled a sellout but I'd like to think he is adult enough to not give two fucks about that and by extension, shit like the video posted above.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 No it isn't. The same way it wasn't relevant when it happened to Paul. He will not be nominated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
