Vox.com is pissing me off now with the blatant pro-Hillary crap. Yeah, it was fun reading your bullshit rants against Trump for a while, but start acting like an unbiased source of news for fuck's sake. Your rantings did jack shit against Trump. Stop ranting and start reporting.
This goes for all other so-called objective but blatantly pro-Hillary media news sources.

I don't even know what I am. Certainly not neo liberal, as it's being described. Or regressive liberal. I think PC did go too far and we're paying for it.
I hate trying to fit myself into a label box.

Obviously not........what about "that -is- what politics is now" did I fail to communicate? Trump ran on "It's gonna be great" and Hillary ran on "He's a bigot". If I can't convince you, and this election can't convince you....what might convince you?

Back from our days at af.com, and remembering our interactions, how about just a nice person trying to get along? Like the vast majority of folks, incidentally.

How is the old forum anyway, still chugging along it seems? I haven't been back in a while.

You're you and you're awesome. You don't need a label at all, all you need is your own good judgement and your vote. 
If you feel that a label helps you self-identity better... have you taken the political compass test?

Politicians with their own selfish egoistic agendas =/= politics.
Politics is politics. It doesn't change when people start abusing it, that's just people abusing it.
I'm not a political person and I have no interest in politics because of the fuckers who abuse it. I'd be interested if there weren't corrupt fuckers in charge and an idiotic majority doing most of the voting while being misled by the corrupt fuckers in charge.
The problem isn't politics, it's the politicians and the public.

Whatever you say, I guess. You saying it doesn't seem to have any effect on them doing it.

Politics is just what politicians -do-, Ham.... whatever that happens to be. If that's image and offense, guess what, tough titties, that's politics now. Personally, I've realized that no amount of "you guys are totally doing it wrong" works. If you want to win, you have to win from the inside. You have to take their model and subvert it.
So, these nubs wave a flag...I wave it harder and shame them for their limp-wristed flag waving. For example. Accept -everything- they say is true...because, honestly, do you want to argue that with idiots? GL.
Much more effective to show them that they're -still- wrong, even after you grant every idiotic thing they have to say.

That test is balls, apparently I'm left wing ??
