In an argument about Trump, someone said they would've voted for Putin ....

Poll - Total Votes: 6

Eh. It's okay.

You're a clever guy. How's that working out for you?

You overreached with the 2nd sentence.

You can only vote on one answer.

... If he were running. The user then went into a long rant about Sharia law and the alt-left and "cucks".

I responded:

[quote]I'm less keen to hand the keys for the country to the Kremlin. And I question your choice of quisling. [/quote]

What do you think? Clever use of alliteration, or what?!

alliteration is cool and all, but if you sacrifice the readability of the sentence to make cool word combos, it's not nearly as impressive. what do you mean? who's the quisling?

@SW-User I guess I needed to explain the context of the discussion a bit more. But I didn't mean literally like your former PM.

@Greenbare okay, but because he supports his country, which is not our country, it might be unwise to let him run our country.

I would never vote for Putin, and I voted for Trump.

You definitely overreached with your use of "quisling."

but what about poptarts?

WoodyAq · M

@MartinTheFirst as an alliteration for quisling?

@pianoplayingsteve okay. Again, so what? I'm not his president. He's mine.

@WoodyAq My point being, look at the fruit of your own labour before you judge someone else. My thought is merely he's more successful than you, nothing more, nothing less. There really is nothing more to say.

WoodyAq · M

@pianoplayingsteve well except, being president isn't a lifetime achievement award, it's an active job to represent your and my interests, and it is in our interests and our civic duty to judge how well he's doing it, as he does it. And if we think he isn't doing it well now, then it really doesn't matter how successful he was in the past doing other stuff.

I don't think he's doing it well on a number of fronts. But I'm particularly concerned about how he may compromise American interests vis a vis the Russians.
