    So you're not protesting yet you are, you're being dishonest when you're saying you're against first world government.

    Literally this kind of thinking.

    And? Your point being? You just stated you would never change even with Facts and Logic proving my points.

    Compromise tends to mean liberals getting what they want more than not.

    Hence why people like Kaisch were unappealing as well.

    What facts would make me vote for a liberal? Neither you or Edge have given me reason to vote for a liberal.

    Apparently none because you just stated you won't ever change.

    That's the thing though. Why would I change when liberal values don't match up with mine? Their core beliefs and opinions regarding the country are vastly different.

    That's literally not the definition of compromise. If that's your definition then the question is why are conservatives so fucking awful at negotiation and compromise?

    Because he was the only non-extreme right candidate, and the only one that didn't devolve into petty insults? He maintained a strong social conservative stance with a conservative, but realist position on foreign and domestic policy and economics?

    Hey I can accept liberals voting for liberals and conservatives voting for conservatives.

    The variable I keep in mind each election are the confusing breed of people known as independents. Any liberal who votes my way is bonus points.

    Only extreme right-wing candidate was Ted Cruz. I would prefer not have SJW's be replaced by religious right-wing church nuts either. Trump doesn't seem very religious despite his attempts to connect with religious right-wing folks.

    One thing i always wonder is what good could possibly come from a conflict with Iran, and dont tell me we Will be delivering democracy cuz that worked well in Irak. Also if Iran didnt sponsor terror before you can be sure they would do after/during?

    Understanding historical context is kinda important before judging the current state of certain countries.
    I still don't even know why people are making it a Race thing. There are Shitholes the World over of every Colour. Being Poor or living in a Shithole isn't a Black only thing. I think people saying it's racist are the true racists by basically them saying "Oh it must be because they are Black." not "oh the country is a Shithole because they are poor."

    If someone said "hey would you live in Haiti" I'd say no because its a Shithole, because compared to where I live it is 1000x shittier. But I'd also say the same about a Bunch of Eastern European Countries aswell.

    Neocons think (or at least thought 10 years ago) that Iran does actively sponsor terrorism.

    I guess some people just forgot that Trump does in fact cater to Nazi's.

    But it was a leaked conversation from a Private meeting? How exactly was it him trying to score points with a base that wasn't meant to even hear the conversation?

    More organic and not clunky like many politicians.
    Trump earns a lot of vice signalling points with internet neo Nazis though.

    I guess by that logic Democrats must cater exclusively to idiots.

    By calling it a shithole, you're "virtue signaling" to all other people who would similarly call exploited, and consequently underdeveloped third world nations, usually inhabited primarily be people of color/black people (in this case almost exclusively for Haiti/Africa), to let them know that you share their hateful points of view.

    I mean, it's the same as people complaining about "SJW"s, all you're doing is "virtue signaling" to your fellow anti-SJW's that you're one of them.
