POLITICS & DONALD Annoying Orange MEGATHREAD

[Conan]

its really the extreme responses anyone ever sees, which explains why it seems like so. i wonder if there's actual data on the number or percentage of extreme-left/right supporters in each party. probably would be inaccurate data though as extreme supporters would probably just call themselves normal libs/repubs

I think one of the biggest differences between liberals and conservatives is that liberals can accept when they lose and recognize it--while conservatives throw a tantrum and lie to themselves.

Liberals tend to be more sensitive and more morally conceited with their social justice whereas conservatives are more hard-headed and brash with the evangilist bullstuff. Both the hard left and the hard right on this forum are argumentative jackasses who rely on bombastic language and overplayed buzzwords to win their handicapped arguments

Right on all counts except for buzzwords. I'm definitely an argumentative, bombastic jackass, but I think I avoid using a lot of the popular rhetoric.

I was kind of trying to make a subtle jab at the cuck nonsense. Anyone who uses cuck in this thread unironically should feel bad for ruining such a great insult by associating it with politics.

I can't say cuck now without looking like a diaper-clad alt right fifteen year old with anger issues

it'll probably subside once Annoying Orange loses

I hope Annoying Orange loses. Not because I like Clinton, but because it would be a great moment of clarity for everyone on how stuffty this country's politics are. Nine times out of ten it's going to be an uphill battle for the loud and controversial candidate when they're running against the safer, more reserved and pro-establishment candidate.

It takes a lot more than wanting to make the country a better place. The political system is extremely cannibalistic and the rules of the game are borderline improvisational. I'm not going to pretend I know how it works, but it'll at the very least be a shock that the least attractive candidate who makes everyone angry wins, because it means at the very least political tradition could have changed (which would be horrifying to say the least)

The first national post-debate poll shows Clinton leading by 4 points (45-41). This previous polling firm had Annoying Orange leading by 1 point

its funny cause i thought the same way except with Annoying Orange winning. but honestly at this point i think a win either way will force people to rethink politics, though if Annoying Orange loses, more would rethink it than if clinton loses, due to the demographic and reasons for voting.

yeah i also thought the moderator was unfairly against Annoying Orange. who won would have been more clear if there wasn't an obvious question bias against Annoying Orange, especially on non-issues like birther. that was incredibly stupid.

i just misread my own post as "i'll probably Self Delete if Annoying Orange loses" loving lol

[otto-san]

if clinton wins, that probably just means someone like Annoying Orange or sanders will have an even better chance of winning next election, unless clinton or congress actually by some spectacular miracle addresses and makes a meaningful effort to fix the aspects of US politics that the public has been increasingly unhappy with.

we've already seen this election that the more extreme and unconventional politicians have become popular, and the less people are content with current politics, the more they'll drift to these types of candidates.
