Damned Republicunts

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Er, the only poll where Trump has a lead is FOX which ought to tell you something.

Presidential candidate polls are worthless because they never poll the voters that count, which in today's world are the Dem voters in the Blue States.  It's a waste of time and money to poll anyone else.  It's actually irrelevant who the Repub primary and caucus voters select because the Repub will carry all of the Red States and Red districts in the Blue States.  The person who becomes President is the person the Dems vote for in the Blue States unless the Repubs can steal the election.

Independents decide elections in this country.

Well, it seems that there are no independents in the Red States since the Repubs always win there.

Louisiana just elected a "democrat" as governor.  Of course, a southern democrat is pro-gun and anti-woman... I mean, anti-abortion so not much of a difference.

They get a choice between one dumb shit and another.

Democrats generally outnumber Repubs but they are too lazy to vote in the Red States.

There is also gerrymandering.  Rampant wherever republicunts are in power.

The gerrymandering is a problem in Congressional and State elections. When people won't vote that's what they get.

I think the two things are very different, and the comparison not very apt.

A headshot delivered in combat is a survival move that is taken to eliminate someone who is out to kill you. The shot is taken not with the intent of inflicting ongoing agony upon your opponent, but to render him dead as quickly as possible.

Lol I was joking around I wasn't being serious.

For what it's worth I agree with you, if it's just a matter of survival a headshot is not remotely sociopathic, it is instinct. However if it was done purely for fun that would be sociopathic. I know we're not talking about that, but basically I'm saying I don't think it's the act itself that makes it socipathic. But I think that goes for torture too.

As for torture I think it's done out of fear and if it's a survival instinct at all it's only on a much higher level - it's paranoia basically.

It definitely can be sociopathic, but so in the right contexts can a headshot. But I think it's more likely survival intinct of the higher more paranoid kind like the paranoia of "If we don't torture them more of us might die, and that might include myself or my loved ones." - it's totally irrational and unjustified and highly immoral, but I don't think either torture or headshots are sociopathic unless the context is specific so it's not done out of fear or paranoia of some sort.

For the record: I am completely against all forms of torture regardless of the situation and not just because it doesn't work as a method of interrogation: even if it did work I would be against it 100%.

You'll get no argument from me on that.  The biggest problem with democrats is the lack of party loyalty....something the republicunts



have down pat.
