I believe not voting because nobody is qualified or worthy of your vote is the most patriotic thing you can do. The lesser of 2 evils vote trivializes your vote. I will only vote for people that i trust and think will do a good job. My vote needs to be earned. When you vote these sociopaths in, you are part of the problem. You can't complain when they do what everybody knew they would do. I refuse to participate in the dog and pony show. I voted for Bernie Sanders because he is the only member of Congress that actually cares about the common man and he is not for sale. He has proven that to me. Hillary has proven beyond a shadow of doubt that she does not deserve my vote. I value my vote. Sometimes that means not using it.Comment -

I don't know you but from what I gather you are a good dude. Keyboard warriors like your buddy, once they get snapped to realization, usually sue. I can tell you from experience. It is not worth it from a financial stand point. Just realize that the person isn't worth your sweat. I used to love to show people they were wrong. But as I got older (and sicker) It isn't worth it. Just ignore that jackass. Back in the day it cost me over 25,000. I can only imagine what it costs now.Comment -

the fundamental flaw of voting is proven again. What do I get? How does it affect me?
no system is perfect but people are not wired properly for democracy to actually work but it is the "right" system morally. They are offered $100 but don't ask where it is coming from? The very title of this thread shows the problem. If you simply ask questions with answers only pertaining to "your" life then there are millions of self-governed "countries" voting in this election which is exactly what the political class want; division.
Want to support hillary?
Then household income will continue to shrink. If you're making six-figures a year does that "affect" your life? Well, maybe not directly but again you'd have to be a very shortsighted individual to not realize the outcome which WILL affect your life negatively. Where will the money go? To insanely over-bloated agencies like VAWA who get over $600mil/year already.
If you think expanding the government's take and increasing the amount of people suckling at the government's tit doesn't affect your life you deserve what is ultimately going to happen. So if you like all of that then you should definitely vote hillary and keep saying she won't affect your life like an imbecile.
Also, hell since you don't mind paying more taxes boner then send the money my way. You just said that's about it like that isn't an INCREDIBLY BAD thing so how about $100 a year?
$100 a year should qualify well under the "that's about it" amount, correct? so I'll be waiting for the check.Last edited by brooks85; 07-07-16, 03:23 PM.Comment -
He has done better than can be expected because of the OBSTRUCTIONIST CONGRESS!
There are several ways one can go about determining which party's policies tend to perform better economically. One option is to look at what economists say. Another is to look at how the economy has performed during times when one party has had more power and compare that to how the economy has performed in the same place during times when the other party has had more power. A third way is to look at how the economy performs in places where one party tends to have more power compared to how the economy performs in places where the other party has more power. All three approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, but by weighing all three, one can potentially get a pretty decisive answer.
Opinions of economists
There are many different ways to assess the consensus of economists on policy issues. Much of the public believes that economists tend to be libertarian and to favor laissez faire economic policy. That idea- that economic wisdom favors leaving all things to the free market- is actually dead wrong. Economists generally tend to support policies at least as liberal as the policies the Democratic Party supports. Some examples:
• 71% of economists favor using government to redistribute wealth and only 8% strongly oppose it. In fact, the concept of the diminishing marginal utility of wealth is a very well established and non-controversial economic principle. Even Adam Smith expressed the view that the government should redistribute wealth.
• Only 12% of economists take the view that the costs of the stimulus outweighed the benefits- a view passionately held by nearly all Republicans.
• 75% of economists favor government tuning the economy with monetary policy- an idea often vehemently rejected by the Republican Party- while only 4% of economists strongly oppose it.
• Zero percent- not a single economist in the entire sample- of economists agree with the central tenant of Republican fiscal policy that cutting tax rates would boost the economy enough to cause revenues to increase.
• 94% of economists support taking action to address climate change.
In terms of specific policies, economists appear to consistently and overwhelmingly either support the Democrats' policies or to be to the left of the Democrats. This stance on policy issues unsurprisingly translates into which party economists support: Democratic economists outnumber Republican economists by 2.5 to 1. In 2012, economists felt that President Obama had a better grasp of economicsthan Mitt Romney by a margin of almost 2-to-1 and that President Obama would grow the economy faster than Mitt Romney by a a margin of 20 pointsComment -
