Poloticks: De RnC n DnC

[Dehan]

Anyone watch the RNC last week or watching the DNC this week?

Just want to know folks p.o.v to what's been/being said in both.

DNC was smooth as velvety butter

I remember when I cared about American politics.

I remember when I cared about American politics.

This is the truth. I followed Obama vs McCain and everything before that.

But this time around? I can't even believe some of the things America still considers 'issues.' I hesitate to bring up the debate I had with Pinky recently, as he was very cordial and polite, but... the things he was arguing against - and so passionately - seems to be representative of a larger whole who share the same views, and, to be quite frank, you'd be laughed out of the room for those views here.

Up until this election, I thought those were all dead issues. I'm a bit horrified; it's like the United States is gleefully trying to turn back the clock to the 'good old days.' -_-

Not to mention Romney's ability to maintain approval despite giving the fact-checkers a fucking aneurism. Our politics are fucked up, too, don't get me wrong, but... Jesus H. How do you even-?

[Super Buu]

^Pretty much everything the Jason said. I summed it up for myself about 6 months ago: "either Obama stays in, or someone much worse gets voted in". And now I'm just waiting to see, occasionally seeing something that horrifies/amuses me from the right.

What shits me is that Australian media follows your pre-election jibber like it's our own country getting ready for elections. I don't mind knowing that you guys are in election time, and I'd like to know who wins, but holy shit I don't need any more details than that.

[Waffuru]

No one in America knows that you have a woman Prime Minister but you have to follow every goddamn thing that happens in American politics.

I can see how that would get old real fast.

[Jonathan Meer]

I knew they have a female prime minister. She's hot

[Super Buu]

V ... vad? Is that you?

[Jonathan Meer]

Well she is.

[Anzekay]

uhh what

Meer are you eyes okay there bud

[Orion]

I asked him the same thing but he seemed ok.

[Vad]

Did somebody call for my skills?

[Maruset]

for a prime minister, sure. Otherwise, nope. 4/10 would still bang for the achievement

[Super Buu]

^Hahahaha.

It still amuses/depresses me how a woman mentioned on this site in any context is immediately followed by a valuation of her attractiveness. </feminist bitch>

[Vad]

So?

[Super Buu]

So what? I'm hardly going to out-and-out say you're all dumb assholes, am I? Shh.

[Jonathan Meer]

Anything that turns a compliment of someone's appearance into something negative is utter bullshit.

[Vad]

Don't ride the feminist train, Greg. It's a decrepit and rickety old one that looks unsafe.

[Jonathan Meer]

Feminism is awesome and important and significant.

As with all movements, can be gone overboard on, though.
