Current Events > "I try to avoid politics"

(+) Yeah! (+)

We all have our reasons, while I understand your circumstances, it doesn't absolve you. Not when you're saying it no one deserves to be happy. You're a good dude. Take what happiness you can from that, it doesn't need to be anything grand.

your kind

All I can do is vote, donate and go to events here and there, and distract myself from reality with fun diversions. But it's all just distractions from the truth and hoping things don't get so bad it can't even be escaped from temporarily.

Didnt know I was a Republican in power.

Yeah, just doing your best to make sure they stay there. Totally unrelated.

It is in objective fact that Republicans in power are deliberately destroying millions of lives because they view us as nothing more than dangerous political tools of some "extreme left" Democrat party that exists in their heads.

You caught me. Guess there is a limit to my tolerance. I don't respect those that want to kill me. It's the kind of flaw Duncan or someone else here would chastise me over.

Based on what?

You dont even know who I voted for.

Ah, so youre just talking out of your ass. Gotcha.

No. Youre espousing the dumb right wing talking points. So youre helping them stay in power. I dont know how that can be any more clear. Although interesting you didnt actually deny voting Republican.

Must be nice to be that privileged and blissfully unaware of the reality of the world around you that you can do such a thing.

Why bother denying when you already have it in your head? I know I didnt vote Republican, but thats not what this is actually about.

You, on the other hand, are implying a lot of shit that amounts to with us or against us, and thus, like hockeybub, you are not worth engaging.

More like must be nice to be that privileged and have time to bother with things that don't directly affect you. I'm just worrying how I'm going to pay my bills this year.

you spent like the better part of a week defending jada pinkett smith from the chris rock live netflix special
dont act like you do anything worthwhile politically lol

except this is nothing like weimar germany

Im not sure you know how many minutes are in a week and how few of those I spent on gamefaqs. Definitely wasnt the better part of a week. Even if it was, is the implication that Ive never done anything worthwhile politically in my.. entire life because I spent a week on this dumb site? (Which I didnt.)

You're not very good at this.

buddy you typed a lengthy response in under 2 minutes
the fact that you are good at this is p telling lmao

Correct. Weimar actually put Hitler in jail for his failed coup attempt

I procrastinate cleaning my house

ew clean yer house
nasty

completely unrelated topics

buddy youre the one brought the topic about your nasty house up

Not what I was talking about, but since youve decided to go full aggressive troll mode where you pretend someones house is nasty because they mentioned normal routine cleaning Ill just ignore you.

I mean. Youre either with the people who are against republicans or youre against them, yes. Thats sadly how this shitty voting system works. I know youre just saying a cliche and thinking that means its obviously bad, but thats just not how this works.

You said I was doing my best to keep Repubs in power.

You still want to stick with that statement?

I now avoid talking about avoiding politics.

I notice people that want to talk politics want to lecture me and act like my wage slave life somehow has this way to help them out of the rutt they're in, and that even though I voted in line with them, somehow it's because I didn't vote right, or often, or didn't rebel before it was their turn here.

I can't solve half my own shit.

Are you going to keep making statements about the futility of voting or whatever the fuck?

It is possible to acknowledge the import of voting while simultaneously acknowledging its relative futility in producing candidates that aren't

A. Weirdo republicans that think Trump did literally nothing wrong
or
B. Limp dicked establishment democrats that spin their wheels

I mean. If you voted in line with them and theyre talking about people who didnt, its probably not about you. If theyre going after you specifically for doing what they wanted, then theyre idiots.

So what does that make you for going after me and all but implying I voted Repub?

Its possible, but that aint mean the dudes doing it. I assume you know these boards and the internet at large are full of people who are just apathetic or actively malicious while pretending to be principled about not voting.

But that's the thing, I have my principles of not voting red, but at the same time I probably have the same apathy that a teenager has punching into work to flip burgers because I know those people I vote for are most likely going to end up being limp dicked politicians that are part of the establishment and basically tread water the entire time they're in the house/senate/white house. I'll do my duties come election night, but don't expect me to be fucking ecstatic about the list of candidates I'm provided with.

More like must be nice to be that privileged and have time to bother with things that don't directly affect you. I'm just worrying how I'm going to pay my bills this year.

I'm lost on what hockeybub expects us to do. Voting apparently is worthless. So are we supposed to just run around and shout our political opinions at everybody we meet for the first time? When I go to a bar, should I just start fights with people?

Tf is the argument here

Well I certainly want to know what people's poltical beliefs are because I don't want to accidentally befriend anyone who is voting in people who are promising to end my threat to society.

And if the entire system is broken, well, GameFAQs has a ToS that prevents some things from being discussed.
