Yeah I just stay away from this topic in public. Tends to get one in hot water no matter how you swing. It tends to cause fights, loss of friends, cause rifts, and creates enemies. I wish politics could just be forgotten sometimes.
 
valleyyote............. I do concur with your view. have a die heart Democrat relative with whom I NEVER discuss politics, NEVER.
and we get along very well.............. thanks
 
what cracks me up is not even half the people in here actually pay attention to politics both the actual history of it and what is going on today, all they know is something they caught on mainstream media or something they heard through the grapevine in which the person they heard it from is bias already. then there are those that are loyal to one party no matter what, "gang mentality", and dont even pay attention to each individual regardless of political party.
 
Personally think they should change both parties names to "Bigots" and "Hypocrites". Since either term could apply to both parties on any given day, folks would be forced to actually pay attention to issues and records instead of blindly ticking a box.

Even the term spoiled brats could apply to either side too.
 
I have a suspicion Attorney General Barr will have a BIG surprise for the efforts by some people to sabotage President Trump, before and after..
 
This should explain it. ;)

TWO COWS

You give one to your neighbor

COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk

FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk

NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots you

You have 2 cows.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income

ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND (VENTURE) CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows.
The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company.
The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
You sell one cow to buy a new President of the United States, leaving you with nine cows.
No balance sheet provided with the release.
The public then buys your bull.

SURREALISM
You have two giraffes.
The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has dropped dead.

A GREEK CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You borrow lots of euros to build barns, milking sheds, hay stores, feed sheds, dairies, cold stores, abattoir, cheese unit and packing sheds.
You still only have two cows.

A FRENCH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You go on strike, organize a riot, and block the roads because you want three cows.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk.
You then create a clever cow cartoon image called a Cowkimona and market it worldwide.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows but you don't know where they are.
You decide to have lunch.

A SWISS CORPORATION
You have 5000 cows.
None of them belong to you.
You charge the owners for storing them.

AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Business seems pretty good.
You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.

A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION
You have two cows.
The one on the left looks very attractive...
 
Edit /Addition:

SOCIALISM
You have two cows
Since the workers own the means of production democratically
You split earnings of milk sales between yourself and the cows

TECHNOCRACY
You have two cows
You spend most of your money researching optimal milk production methods
You can't implement any of it until after your project passes peer review

TRANSHUMANISM
You have two cows
You train them to do all kinds of fancy tricks, give them VR systems, and modify their DNA
Eventually your cows function independently in society and need no further management
 
You forgot the last part @KNOTTYBOYZ :

ANARCHO-CAPITILISM
I have 2 cows that produce plentiful milk.
It's no ones business where or how I acquired them.
My neighbor needs milk and initiate a private trade.
If they have nothing of value that I feel is fair trade, they starve.
Your starving neighbors "claw and scratch together enough tenacity" to gather together to overthrow your oppression
 
KNOTTYBOYZ said:
Opression? Ha! that tickled me greatly, and thanks to my second ammendment I'll have easily taken care of those assuming I'm trying to "oppress" them ;3. Like I said, forcing someone to give up what they have leads to wars. Just because I have a means to produce milk, doesn't mean I'm the only producer. I have the free right to set my own prices and if people don't like it, they can go to another vendor with lower prices (just like some stores will sell a soda for fifty cents and others will sell it for a dollar) or work hard and get their own cow to produce milk for them OR even produce to give to the public freely on their own volition if they wanna be that charitable of an individual. You seem to be missing the point that just because I produce something doesn't mean I'm obligated to giving free handouts. Free market economies unburdened by government regulation allow people the opprotunity to produce their own means and advance from it into higher standards of living or allows them to work for an industry that'll allow them to afford the ability to make their ends meet if they don't have the drive to take on the open "opportunity" to venture into running a business themselves.

"Give us what you own because we want it and don't want to work for it ourselves." yea sounds like a paradise society :p

You do realize the second amendment works both ways right? You might have a firearm, but so will they.

I would post more but that's Dumpster Fire material.

I'm unaffiliated. I used to identify as very liberal/left leaning, but some of my best friends are conservatives and libertarians. So now my politics are just "who I vote for is private knowledge" and otherwise I just try to see everyone's point of view. I think the current infighting is just ridiculous.

To be honest, I hate politics too, but like.... I have to get involved because my rights as a trans person are on the line. I rather just sit it out but self-preservation makes it extremely important for me...

Very true these are scary times for us, the hate can be very real and very dangerous. While I find a lot of people very accepting there are the ones that just have blind hate. I am an older trans woman in FL and we certainly have a variety of attitudes here.
 
Independent voter. I take a little from column A and a little from column B because I don't fuck with the loud insane radicals on both sides.
 
I chose Democrat but there reality is I'm often disgusted by the toothless inefficacy of the DNC b/c most Dem politicians are corporate sellouts. It's more accurate to say I'm a democratic socialist.
 
I'm gay, so it really feels like I have to lean leftward in my views, which is a shame...

I got a light libertarian left on the Political Compass test anyway, if that means anything (lol)
 
I'm a registered Republican, but I vote across party lines. I consider myself a conservative because I believe Jefferson's dictum that the government which governs least, governs best. Unlike contemporary "conservatives", however, I believe that this means the government should butt out of sexual practices, marijuana use, and any kind of "moral legislation."
