Do you identify particularly as a republican or as a democrat?

@BlueMetalChick: you agree with me.. I'm older 😜 haha

@guriinii: Yes but our opinions formed separately.

@BlueMetalChick: either way, we're right and the world is going backwards

But I'm not stupid so I won't vote. The president has no power and the parties work together anyway. You really think the Government is dumb enough to let a country mainly populated by idiots to decide what is a good decision? Give me a break. Why do you think presidents barely ever keep their promises? Because they have no power, the system has the power.

@iWantSwCoins: Yes, actually, I do believe the government is that dumb. Half the people holding offices believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old and that a man lived inside a fucking whale for over a decade. The vice president believes smoking cigarettes is not harmful to a person's health. They're pretty goddamn dumb, you realize that, right?

The Vice President has no power.. Senates, the workers in congress have the power.. Everything is a joint decision between them but hey you totally have them figured out because of their religion and the court jesters they show you on TV.

I'm so Canadian, I bleed maple syrup!

@beautyisnature: For some reason, in my home country, there's a stereotype that Americans are all obsessed with BBQ sauce the same way Canadians love maple syrup. We used to make jokes about American people taking showers in barbecue sauce instead of water lol

I resemble this statement, i freaking love bbq sauce.

@BlueMetalChick: I find you very intelligent and apt to lean so I share what I can with you. The Democrats became defined with the FDR or WW 2 years when the huge programs such as Social Security and Welfare were formed. In 1965 when the Civil Rights legislation was created in response to the peaceful marches of MLK Jr. and John Lewis.

There is only so much money circulating and I don't think everyone [i]can[/i] be rich.@hippyjoe1955:

@Lovelldo: Trust me, your logical and rational response isn't going to do any good. He's an avid follower of the philosophy of "If I make something up and pretend really hard, it'll come true."

So kind of a softcore socialist? I dig it. I think people need to stop being afraid of that part of the spectrum.

@BlueMetalChick: Yes. 'Soft-core Socialist' is a good term. It fits me. It's difficult for me to see the poverty and anguish here in our wonderful country. And I believe the Federal Government should play a large role in alleviating social problems.

A lot of people might actually think you're serious cos they don't know what that means XD

It made more sense when the parties were only mildly corrupt.

Perhaps, but not even. It's a broken system.
