The sensible politics thread

[PhDhawk]

I think my new strategy for local elections is to just vote for whichever candidate didn't come ring my doorbell with their dumb kid, hand me a laminated flyer that gets thrown out, and wastes 5 minutes telling me their background.

Is that reasonable?

As long as their platform is tax breaks for me and Japhy.

[KUTradition]

[Qusdahl]

Sorry bro, we already gave it to the job creators

[KUTradition]

Finally, someone casts Harry Potter to the inferno where he belongs!

I thought this thread was for sensible politics.

What's not sensible about burning the devil's work?

[Qusdahl]

Debatable.

Yes

I made a vow that if I didn't care and/or was impartial, whichever candidate (and/or their campaign workers) sent me the most "fliers" would NOT get my vote.

Not literally Hitler at all - but closer to being Hitler like than the vast majority of other people in this country.
Agree? Disagree?

It's following the footsteps of moot.

Comparing something to Hitler isn't the same as comparing it to the Holocaust.

A comparison to Hitler could refer to a number of things. The Holocaust was specifically systematic genocide of people because of who they are born as.

Comparing something to Hitler isn't the same as comparing it to the Holocaust.

But both words start with an "H", isn't it reasonable to skip the rest of the letters and equate two words when they start with the same letter?

Let's try and see how it goes.

So, "contrarian" and "conviction".

Witty.
