@LordShadowfire GerOttman on the idea of personal responsibility:
The libertarian... free from others and by extension governement, was made to choose for an evil actor. Angry people in his media diet, made him do evil things... because he's an individual with individual freedoms and responsibility for his own actions. 😅
@LordShadowfire Here is a lesson on "freedom from governement", by the great liberatarian GerOttman.
Governement overreach, that doesn't affect himself, is okay. It's just breaking some eggs so you can make an omelet.
The actions that this governement takes that he voted for... well, those are just blamed on other people too. But he'll bring milk and cookies to all those individuals that he judges as a group and thus for the actions of other individuals. This is a really "liberatarian" stance. It's on the same level as Donald Trump telling us he likes "free speech", except when the free speech bothers him personally.
Ted proved himself not to be presidential when his team threw shade at Trump's wife during the 2016 Republican Presidential Primaries. Trump countered with a little shade of his own and the hot headed Latino proved he was not up to the task by how he handled the situation.
Cruz would be a great SCOTUS pick. He was a brilliant Harvard trained attorney who had argued before the court on several occasions. The lib's heads would explode if he were ever on the court. 🤣
I haven't looked into it that carefully, but I don't think the Constitution specifies how many justices there are supposed to be on the Supreme Court. FDR suggested packing the court when he had huge majorities in both houses of Congress, but even his own party wouldn't go along with it.
At that time, Democrats evidently had far more scruples than they have now.
I think the Republicans rallied against Hillary... not for Trump... and they would of grown up in huge numbers for any random person running against Hillary and she would of lost still
@sstronaut I don't think it was specifically republicans, they were going to vote for him anyway. It was the undecideds. Hillary dropped that basket of deplorables and the undecided room emptied out fast!
She is not well liked by people who have met her. I've meant both her and Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton is the type person you could disagree with. Every single thing, but still have a normal conversation with Hillary Clinton. If you don't see it her way, you are in her way on everything.
@fun4us2b In a fair election. No mail in balloting, no 37 days to count late ballots, complete adherence to the law...Trump in the largest landslide ever.
As they continue to unpack all that happened in 2020, I think we will see that it happened then too.
@fun4us2b A lot of people, including myself, were angry with the Democratic Party for picking Hillary over Bernie when he was clearly the people's choice. They didn't let us vote for Bernie, and Hillary felt like a forced choice. I don't know how Biden would have done at that time, but he definitely beat Trump in 2020, so maybe?
According to the polling, Hillary would have lost to every Republican except Trump. It sounds like that means the polling was way off, but it was actually pretty accurate. The polls said if Trump if the nominee, the election would be extremely close. The election did end up being close and the polling was only slightly off with the states in the Midwest. So no, I think Hillary would have lost to Ted Cruz too.
