I don't have any fondness towards either party and I never have (I know I sound like a centrist by saying that but I'm not).
If you're not a centrist, then you are a groyper, or Allah forgive me, a hyper doomer that's never fucking happy

Edit: apparently a Marxist. Ew
 
I've given good insights in this thread
In all fairness, I've long thought much (but not all) of Marx's economic analysis was fairly accurate. Too bad that his proposed solutions were and are pants-on-head retarded, and have led (and continue to lead) to suffering, misery, and death across the world.

Just because Marx was a retard doesn't mean communism isn't genius.
 
You are the definition of demoralized. Either that or always just a Democrat.
I'm not too interested in defending the socialist autist in the thread but I'd be lying if I said I was eager to vote for either Bush/Kerry, Obama/McCain, or Obama/Romney. They were all lose lose situations. Trump was someone that we all believed in and he actually managed to make it to the big two, it was a different kind of election cycle and you could feel it.
 
Would someone be able to tell you were a socialist by observing your life if they couldn't hear or read what you say and write, publicly or otherwise?
Good question, I'd say probably not but that's just because I don't do shit like attend protests and all that. I don't believe that some type of magical socialist revolution can happen in the west (see, Ruhr Uprising, 1920), so I see no point in bothering with that.

So "being a socialist" just means having opinions? That's cool, it doesn't really matter, just curious. I find it silly when people say they are this or that political alignment, leftist, socialist, fascist, NS, etc. Like, could anyone really tell if you aren't yapping about it online? If not, it's really just a form of eccentric consumer taste.
 
The shooter got into the event with a gun, a building 100 yards from Trump was unsecured, there was a ladder there for the kid to climb up, and the event continued even after people were screaming that they spotted a kid with a gun on a building with a clear line of sight to Trump. All of that is extremely fishy.
On top of this
  • The roof the shooter was on was occupied by local law enforcement prior, who left the roof because of the "summer heat" yet left the ladder unsecured
  • Trump's secret service detail was not his regular detail but instead a bunch of not even B-team rejects
  • The counter snipers had clear sight to the building, had clear eyes on the shooter, would have seen him with the rifle, but did not shoot until after he had taken several shots at Trump (eight total)
  • CNN was on hand to film the rally despite not usually filming Trump rallies
  • unconfirmed reports of armed individuals on the nearby water tower who weren't security
There are too many conveniences that had to line up for the shooter to get where he did, and take the multiple shots he did. The moment those counter snipers saw the rifle, they would have been more than justified in shooting the would-be assassin. If you or someone else tried to point a rifle at any former president, or a presidential candidate, in clear view of counter snipers, you would be shot. No ifs, what's, or buts about accidently killing someone innocent. The fact he got multiple shots off is clear evidence this was more than a lapse in security. They had eyes on the shooter, they saw the muzzle flash. They had a clear shot. I keep hitting this nail because of just how insane it is. The snipers saw him before he even started shooting, and did nothing till he got several rounds off. Somebody orchestrated a hit against Trump, and only by God did Trump live.

Remember to say thanks to the chart that caused Trump to turn his head at the right time.
