I used ad hominem simply for the fact I have been accused of being a Hillary Supporter. As if I need to get over anything.
What people need to get over is the fact their president is a liar.

Good for you, and I say it's still pretty fucking stupid to call him names, ad hominem attacks are never justified. If you have the right to call Trump a liar, then I have every right to consider Clinton is a lying idiot, how does that feel?

I dont care what Clinton is, never agreed with her in the first place, in my eyes the left and right are as regressive as each other, it is stupid to have a bias. I dont care whether or not its justified im sick of being called liberal.

Then stop your half-arsed ad hominem attacks for something someone says and we'll both back off. Discussing politics is a lost cause anyways, all it does is causes animosity, it never creates friendships.

I have a question for trump supporters, if you're amiable.

-What are the ultimate results you hope him to achieve? (specific goals, like "ranking #1 in education", not vague goals like "reduce/no illegals!")
-Do you care how he accomplishes those goals?
-What would make you dislike him or be disappointed in him?

the_randomizer · Feb 21, 2017

I just want stricter/vetting for immigrants, repealing the Obamacare penalty and tax reductions on the middle class. And yet, if I dare speak out against illegal immigration, people are labeled as racist. It's all BS. I still think discussing politics are a lost cause.

Keep his campaign promises.
Ofc I do. Who wouldn't want the person they voted in to keep their campaign promises.
Not keeping his campaign promises.

You must be pretty upset he broke his repeated campaign promises to reveal his tax returns then.

So, erm...I don't really want to meddle in all those opinions, but...why did he make up that story of an assault on Sweden? It's like he makes up stuff for a fan base that's too dumb to do a fact check.

Certain infamous person once said "if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth", and TBH it worked quite well for him.
It is a great propaganda tool, if you lie enough to fanatics they start to blind themselves and weave an alternative story around some alternative facts in order to call it their alternative reality.
I suppose he is going by the saying "it if worked don't fix it"... In kind of an disgusting way.
Of course, IMHO.

What do you think of white supremacists being put into positions of power and influence?

I'd rather not say either way, politics always gets my blood pressure high >.> I just don't give a damn anymore, politics discussion is a lost cause.

It's not a diffult political question. What do you think of white supremacists, people who beleive people who happen to be black, brown etc should be treated inferior to someone who happens to be white, are in positions of power and influence?

yeah, they should check their online accounts to make sure they aren't criminals, pirating games etc.

If the US was so strict about pirating gamez, most GBATemp users would be in court.

Just wondering as I have no idea, is this a thing in the UK?

I tend to agree with you, except when you discuss politics in class. It's mostly boring there, though.
