Do We Have A 'Silly Shit Politicians Say' Thread? If Not, Here We Are

[Blubbartron]

Do you have any conclusive evidence to back that allegation of rape up? You know that accusing someone of rape can ruin their life, right?

Only if the rape victim is a woman. No one cares about men or abstracts like language.

It was legitimate

Why do all of the buttfuck retarded people have to be on my political end of the spectrum.

Don't answer that.

I forget. Is this guy an idiot or a troll? Trying to figure out if I should block him or report him.

Oklahoma State Rep Dennis Johnson uses the phrase "Jew me down" and later apologizes "to the Jews" when called out on it.

"Mix of both" seems to be the consensus forming.


Tarage: because it's an "end" of the political spectrum. Far-right & far-left parties tend to attract more idiots than more moderate parties and the US mainly operates with a right-wing party (demos) and a far-right (repubs) party, ergo more retards amongst repubs.
(yeah, I answered an hypothetical. I'm crazy like that)

Democrats are most definitely not right wing, even moderate right wing.

[Helm]

Compared to parties in other countries they're fairly right wing.

usa has 1 corporate party with a sane and insane wing. left or right doesn't play much of a role in american politics.

A quote fitting of the moustache and monocle.

But the Jews are our friends!

An accurate assessment, and indeed my point: both parties care more about corporate interests than the public interest, so they're both right-wing and the republican party is quite heavily bigoted, so it's far-right.

[quannum]

it's about doing what you're campaign donors tell you to do, that's not a left/right issue.

[Plow]

Libertarian.

[Tarage]

I'm bemused that you guys seem to think that the left is somehow miles better than the right. Then again I have to remember where I am.

At the very least, I'm pretty much equally disgusted with both sides right now. No one represents me.

[Ashmada]

Ideologically, the left (real left, actual socialism) is miles better than the right.

The problem comes with the application of the ideology: how many left-wingers are actual, sincere humanists and how many are demagogues surfing on a wave of populism to serve their own interests?
Sadly, many who appear to be the former end up being exposed as the latter in a corruption scandal down the line. Recent case in point: the Cahuzac case in France; the latest is a long line of disillusions for those of us who'd actually like to believe in a more social world.

Still, Poujadism never solved anything.

[Waraji]

What's this about Corporate Parties? Yall seem to forget Corporations are people too, so by the transitive property, political parties care about the people more than they do... something something?

Welcome to american politics. Time to incorporate.
