Man, way to cover your tracks before entering politics, Mark. The guy is abhorrent but that's some comically boomer ass shit.
Hershel Walker is one of football's most infamous busts. Mark Robinson is a xenophobic moron who posted vile shit on a porn forum. He ain't going on any Masked Singer.

2643It was metaphotical in relation to the point I was making, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Re: Politics
2645Bernie Sanders has had more influence on US national politics than the Green Party and did it without acting as a spoiler for the Republicans. He didn't try to run as a third party candidate for president.
The Green Party has nobody in congress and nobody in the senate. Why does Jill Stein keep running for president? What can she possibly hope to achieve? Why doesn't she run for congress or do something potentially constructive and actually possible? The Green Party isn't going anywhere but backwards. It feels like they are failing by design.
Look at how the Democrats had to kiss Joe Manchin's coal mine to get anything through the senate during the last term. That could be a Green Party senator holding the balance of power. If they were serious about being an effective force for change in politics they'd be angling for something like that.

Re: Politics
2646Sorry, I'm not trying to be obtuse or dense. It's just that the concerns about the electoral process in the U.S. are absolutely valid, but they're only ever played out as whether or not to vote for a 3rd party which seems to insidiously waste most of the energy on the issue. If I were an Orwellian puppet master who wanted to protect the two party system, I'd simply dangle a libertarian or Green party candidate in front of the trouble makers' faces every 4 years and let them tire themselves out with that.Curry Pervert wrote: Thu Sep 19, 2024 7:43 pmIt was metaphotical in relation to the point I was making, but I'm sure you already knew that.
Bonus points if you can leverage them to be a spoiler for your least favorite party.

2647Hell yes. His finger prints are on the most progressive legislation of the 21st century. He actively makes the Dems better. He needs a protege waiting in the wings, or better yet ten of them.Anthony Flack wrote: Thu Sep 19, 2024 8:05 pm Bernie Sanders has had more influence on US national politics than the Green Party and did it without acting as a spoiler for the Republicans.
