Actually at this point you all are lecturing me, I do my part by who n what I vote for and condemning any bigots.You're spending time and energy lecturing us on being civil to people who don't mind labeling themselves as republicans, including yourself. Putting importance into being "civil" than actually trying to convert members of your party into being decent human beings. I'm done dude, you can't even see how mad that is.
Ohhhh, because there are lazy people out there who've never been bothered by their political party affiliation because politics effects them so little they can't be bothered to switch parties, people can't be critical of the GOP and their policies that are literally killing POC and LGBT people on a daily basis at this point.Lazyness I guess because I went to the dmv every time to register. in high school we had particiption in government for senior year and we filled registration forms, and the teacher weirdly said she can't pick your party for you, but hinted at go republican because town of islip (I'm from Long Island) is a republican town in nature and you might want government jobs in the area. Which is fucked, but that's how it started, and sure I probably should and will switch.
But the point wasn't I'm the lone guy. My assumption I'm not the only one who feels their party is being run by psychos and would be pro sonicfox.
Y'all have too itchy of a trigger finger.
Yes, because Im not voting for people who literally put KIDS IN FUCKEN CAGESHere's the problem with that, does it make you any more right than the ones you accuse? If you claim you are better then them by your actions, then you just proved yourself wrong.
Sure, you're right my example is lazyness. But I still don't think I'm the only one who maybe registered and feels he or she isn't properly represented by their party. Is all I was trying to say. Poorly I guess. And that I think the shit some of the people are giving other posters here is a bit much.I don't understand what your argument is. You vote for all democrats, you dont support the republican party, and you arr against most of their major stances on important issues. Youre just a non-republican who has never updated your party affiliation. Obviously nobody dissing all republicans is talking about you.
Like, you really think that when people say "all republicans" they're talking about techincality shit like forgetting to update your official party affiliation when you are clearly not a republican anymore?
I didn't say you couldn't be critical of the party, the gop, or policy. : |Ohhhh, because there are lazy people out there who've never been bothered by their political party affiliation because politics effects them so little they can't be bothered to switch parties, people can't be critical of the GOP and their policies that are literally killing POC and LGBT people on a daily basis at this point.
You're right, your position is totally valid and we should all be more considerate of lazy people.
But I still think the universal condemning route of half the countries voting population is all that healthy either.
You do realize normal people who don't feel like their party is representing them anymore do this magical thing called switching parties, right?Sure, you're right my example is lazyness.

Then get out of this thread, because that's what people are doing here and that's what Sonicfox was pointing out.I didn't say you couldn't be critical of the party, the gop, or policy. : |
I'm not saying you can't criticize them. You can be critical without being condescending and a dick fam.You do realize normal people who don't feel like their party is representing them anymore do this magical thing called switching parties, right?
You're still arguing that a sizable portion of Republicans are just too darned lazy to switch like you therefore the entire party can't be criticized.
Nobody needs you to tone police them either.I'm not saying you can't criticize them. You can be critical without being condescending and a dick fam.
Republicans in this thread and on the Internet that took offense to this while their president puts kids in cages should all take a good long look in the mirror.
But I still think the universal condemning route of half the countries voting population is all that healthy either.
If he's been voting Democrat for the president positions he's not automatically a dipshit like the typical Republican. I still wonder who he votes for in congressional/rep positions.You are proud to declare yourself a registered Republican, and laid out a shoddy « not all republicans » argument as a call for civility?
I mean there are legit criticisms you can label exclusively to the Republican party, but Obama was also ok putting migrant children in cages. So the real people who should look in the mirror are the political representatives on both sides who let that slide for all this time (or still support it), while plenty of average Americans across both sides of the political spectrum have been against this.
If he voted for "Hitlery" (Republican trademark) instead of Baby Donny it's clear he isn't immoral. He is though someone who wants the party to be something it isn't and arguably has never been. He used his political power against the power he's registered with.If you associate with the republican party as it is NOW -- a white nationalist party that puts children in cages -- You're immoral. "Good people republicans" who may exist have left the party. If you're still carrying water for what the party is now you're not a good person.
And, yes, I know nearly half of the voting population (which isn't half the country, mind you, just half the country who votes) support a white nationalist regime. It's unfortunate, but we have to call it what it is.
Also democrat. I voted LiUba Gretchen Shirley, but Peter King won my district.If he's been voting Democrat for the president positions he's not automatically a dipshit like the typical Republican. I still wonder who he votes for in congressional/rep positions.
I don't know what good you think "But Obama" does, especially since nobody brought up there aren't other people aren't complicit in bad immigration policy.I mean there are legit criticisms you can label exclusively to the Republican party, but Obama was also ok putting migrant children in cages.

No he wasn't ok with. No he didn't mandate it. You're equivocation is meaningless.I mean there are legit criticisms you can label exclusively to the Republican party, but Obama was also ok putting migrant children in cages.

I guess I agree with what you say to a point. For instance in your view I may be carrying water for them, but I don't.If you associate with the republican party as it is NOW -- a white nationalist party that puts children in cages -- You're immoral. "Good people republicans" who may exist have left the party. If you're still carrying water for what the party is now you're not a good person.

Ah cool, a fellow New Yorker. At some point though I think you may have to switch registration because they clearly aren't serving your interests and I can bet money right now they never will at the federal level.Also democrat. I voted LiUba Gretchen Shirley, but Peter King won my district.
Yeah I'm seeing that, I just thought that this thread wasn't exclusively putting down the bigots trying to give fox shit but was going over board on how some of the posters were getting shit. Little did I know I would get shit from people who know nothing about me outside of one thing, but were more or less a minute away from calling me a bigot.Ah cool, a fellow New Yorker. At some point though I think you may have to switch registration because they clearly aren't serving your interests and I can bet money right now they never will at the federal level.
One of the newest problems I'm seeing now is that the white supremacists who were tepid about the Republican party's tamer approach flocked to it in greater numbers thanks to Trump. For them it won't matter that Trump is a traitor to their country because the country doesn't support white nationalism at the level they want it to. That influx of degenerates is going to poison the primary process and ensure you are far less likely of getting someone like the Bushes.
Even then, frankly, the way those types of Republicans handled capitalism really doesn't make sense. Our Democratic candidates end up having to clean up their messes. Our economies got much better under Clinton and would've been maximized better if Hillary had been able to continue what Obama got started.
I don't know what good you think "But Obama" does, especially since nobody brought up there aren't other people aren't complicit in bad immigration policy.
One of the sides is not like the other. It doesn't serve any good to start demonizing our side when there are literal Nazis on the other side, and the rest of them support the Nazis. There is no hypocrisy there. Obama hasn't been President for years, we have a real and pressing issue to attend to right now, not to sit and tut tut Obama. Please don't start with the "both sides" stuff.If representatives on both sides were in favor of and complicit in the caging of children, telling only Republicans to look into the mirror is a hypocritical generalization at worst, and a moot point at best.
If he voted for "Hitlery" (Republican trademark) instead of Baby Donny it's clear he isn't immoral. He is though someone who wants the party to be something it isn't and arguably has never been. He used his political power against the power he's registered with.
To put this another way. Around 10% of registered Democrats voted for Trump. These assclowns aren't immoral because they have a D next to their name? That's how silly your and everyone else's reductionism is.
Sure, you're right my example is lazyness. But I still don't think I'm the only one who maybe registered and feels he or she isn't properly represented by their party. Is all I was trying to say.

Eh I think some of you guys can cool it a bit on the "all republican thing". Personally I am registered republican since I graduated high school. And economically I'm a capitalist by nature(I do accounting for a living), but socially I'm not conservative at all.
I am pro gay rights, pro choice, pro trans rights, and I'm Indian so it goes without saying I'm not exactly team Nazi either.
I love Fox's speech and routinely watch his stuff. I sat through ips finals for a game I do not like, I don't find all that fun to watch, because the foxiest of the hounds was in the top 8. Now that might make me more rino than repub, but the point is it's not that crazy or a concept to think there are republicans who don't actually agree with the current state of their party.
I fucking voted Obama n Hillary the last 3 elections (mind you the only elections I could legally). I think his speech would have been just as effective without the jab. Now let's be real most of the shit he is getting has nothing to do with the jab. It's mostly been about being gay. And fuck those people for being bigots.
Does he use that costume like a rasslin' outfit at tournaments? Must be quite intimidating or at least distracting lol.
"But Hillary" defenses doesn't fly in the court of public opinion just as much as it won't fly in actual court for the doofus you're stanning for.If representatives on both sides were in favor of and complicit in the caging of children, telling only Republicans to look into the mirror is a hypocritical generalization at worst, and a moot point at best.
I guess I don't at this point, like I said I registered based on a teachers suggestion which I am now old enough to know is pretty fucked. I never bothered to change it because something she said always stuck with me is that once you in the voting booth no one actually knows who you voting for and you can vote whoever.BeaconofTruth, from reading all your previous posts in this thread, the thing I'm really confused about is why you actually consider yourself "Republican" in the first place? As you mentioned, you voted for Obama and Hillary, and you're Pro- many of the things the GOP are not, plus you're not white and the actions of the party towards POC have been mentioned plenty of times before in this thread.
With all that considered, surely you should consider yourself "Democrat" in most if not every sense? I mean, like, so what if you're on a database somewhere on a GOP system? Genuinely, no shade, I don't get it.
He does, has to take the helmet off obviously. Most people are cool with it because they know fox at this point. The real intimidating part is that the man is a beast n certified cheap.Does he use that costume like a rasslin' outfit at tournaments? Must be quite intimidating or at least distracting lol.
This all just tells me America needs some more political parties. Both of the main ones are pretty awful. One is much worse, but there has to be something better than what you have.
South Park's Giant Douche or Turd Sandwich mascot vote always springs to mind.
Republicans work tirelessly to find new and creative ways to make life harder for LGBT people.
That false dichotomy only applies to people who have the privilege to be fully insulated from the effects of Republican policy.
I don't *get* to wax lyrical about "both sides" when one of them, among many other deplorable actions, has repeatedly tried to make it legal to fire me from my job just because bigotry against of my sexual orientation or gender identity.
I still don't understand who you're defending or what your argument is. When people condemn republicans, they aren't also condemning people who registered repub a long time ago but now consider themselves unaffiliated and vote mostly democrat. This seems like a really dumb stance to have.Sure, you're right my example is lazyness. But I still don't think I'm the only one who maybe registered and feels he or she isn't properly represented by their party. Is all I was trying to say. Poorly I guess. And that I think the shit some of the people are giving other posters here is a bit much.
