Anyone here in favor of removing the bipartisan system so that we can have intelligent discussions as a country without everyone taking sides like teen girls reading Twilight? Then we could actually look at issues individually without the bandwagon effect of a party influencing our decisions.


lmao that'll never happen though, the two party system is so firmly entrenched in American politics at best the only thing you can hope for is new parties eventually replacing the two existing ones but their politics will still be roughly the same.

I agree, please do this thing where you remove anything that causes debate and/or arguments.

man this was an embarrassing thread, for rutab.

you'd think he took "economics 101" for all the stuff he TRIED to talk about.

Now, me? I'm a marine biologist, and I see climate change first hand.

Any republican who is dumb enough to say it isn't anthropomorphic come @ me.

please, for science, perform this experiment for me.

Place two beakers with water in the same position under their own lamp. Add alka-seltzers to one beaker.

Cover both beakers, and place a thermometer in both.

Which will be warmer?

i dont really trust hillary, but theres 0 chance ill trust another republican in the white house. they have no idea what they're doing, and every single one of them since nixon has been an abomination to this country. in every level of governmental office, they have hindered the country since the civil rights movements. they are the cancer that is slowly killing this country from within.


I hate the GOP, but I have no love for the bipartisan system and I refuse to pledge loyalty to the dems. I'll vote for Jill Stein before I vote Clinton.

Also stop comparing the America to Denmark/Sweeden/Switzerland, etc. They're so small compared to the United States. The policies would never transfer over well


This is the dumbest thing I've heard lmao, sounds like something a nutjob like Bill O'Reilly would say.

oh wait...he did

List of things Republicans are in denial and 100% wrong about:

- climate change
- foreign policy, esp. in regards to the threat of terrorism
- int'l free market economics
- domestic social programs, incl. Soc. sec., welfare, Medicaid
- gay rights
- women's rights
- federal budget
- taxation
- military spending
- general diplomacy
- political campaign spending (w. exception of Trump)
- state's rights vs. federal rights - we need more fed, less state everything
- healthcare in general, esp. the economics of single payer vs. privatized / patchwork we have now

I don't take anything Hillary says at face value because I think her sole goal since she was 19 on Haight-Ashbury has been to become the first female president, and I think she's willing to do or say anything to make that happen.

I admire the hell out of Hillary Clinton's brain. I think she is a brilliant, cunning, devious mastermind. I don't trust a word she says, though.

once you start talking too much sense, republicans just ignore you.

you have to get on their level and dumb it down to ad hominems if you want to actually get it through their thick head that they're being duped.

yes, the dems are bad as well, but there's a CLEAR superior party in terms of intelligence and socially and economically effective policymaking.

here's a hint: it isn't the group that thinks war is an effective terrorism deterrent
