Do you know how many times the media and news outlets have been caught lying? Let's not talk about credibility. Please let's not do this because I'll have to put you in your place.

Obama was one of the worst presidents in United States history.
Hardly. Not that he was great, or even good, but he was an average politician President. Same as the 9 before him imo. Nothing more, nothing less.

If they enter this country illegally then they can be blamed. They are breaking the law.


You would have to be pretty stupid to vote for the other candidates who were worse. Like I have said before if you enter this country illegally you have no right to be here and should be deported. These people have no respect for our laws or culture. As for the shortage on farms, I used to work on a farm along with other Americans and the owners couldn't handle all the workers trying to get jobs. I can't see how that is accurate.
There's multiple multiple Reliable sources covering the labor shortages in farm in california due to deportation http://fortune.com/2018/06/18/immigration-policy-farm-labor-shortage/ https://www.npr.org/2018/05/03/607996811/worker-shortage-hurts-californias-agriculture-industry http://www.cfbf.us/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/CFBF-Ag-Labor-Availability-Report-2017.pdf

Calling other outlets not credible does not make biased opinion pieces from known partisan sources suddenly more credible.

Obama was one of the worst presidents in United States history.
Seriously? Does your knowledge of history only go back ten years? Because I'm pretty sure that most people would agree GWB was significantly worse for putting us in two wars with countries that had nothing to do with 9/11 (a terror attack his administration failed to protect us from), and then following that up with a massive economic crash.

jesus this world has gone fucking bonkers heres some real talk

[Verse 2: R.A. the Rugged Man]
Oh yes, I'm a little bit old and a little bit bitter
I could have sold more and been a little bit bigger
They claimed that I am the next rapper to get slain
Come on, shoot me in my head, put a bullet in my fat brain

I got explosives, guns, knives, weapons of all types
Ninja stars, nunchucks, bats, pipes, looking for fights
(This is shit, can't you talk about something more positive like the environment or something important like politics?) Yeah, sure
Bill O'Reilly he would hate my guts, so what?
Katie Couric she would hate my guts, so what?
Barbara Walters or Whoopi; which one's the dumber slut?
Keith Olbermann, bitch, could get a knife in his gut
Obama nation, the Bushs, the Clintons or 80's Reaganomics
It don't matter, the government always be taking your profits
The Republicans ain't shit, the Democrats ain't shit
What would make you think that either side is ever gonna change shit?

Nancy Pelosi, that bitch crazy, before Obama she was water-
Boarding terrorists
and blowing Dick Cheney
Think they was looking for Bin Laden, that's a croc, they was looking for him
Like they looking for the murderers of Biggie and Pac

Fuck this, I ain't talking politics no more
Instead I'll walk in your office and shit on your floor
How my crazy ass look spitting political themes?
When I ain't even had beef with Bush till New Orleans

Hmm, strictly spitting that horribleness
Anybody that don't like it, they can gargle my piss

Rugged Man need love, I'ma grab Obama with that
Three trillion dollar budget and head to the strip club

I'm the last one they should ever let speak
I should save politics for dead prez and Immortal Technique

I have given you sources on why Republicans have gone after the Obama administration. Stop making this a left vs right debate.
There is nothing to debate. Obama's administration had no indictments and no convictions. I'm sure Republicans would've loved to get him on something, anything, but in the end they couldn't. Compare that to 37 indictments and 7 convictions so far for the Trump administration.

This is Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State who made the statement that "we may never know." Obviously this far past the election we do know, and even that very article states Hillary won the popular vote by about 2.9 million.

I'm not acting as if Trump has done nothing wrong because trust me he has but I'm telling you that Trump won for a reason that you can't accept. - https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37918303

Okay. You have a right to your opinion.

He won for the same reason any Republican has won in the last fifty years or so: the Southern Strategy. It's not like it's something new or unique, and it really goes to show how little progress we've made as a nation since the 1950s.

Alrighty then. I'm not about the right vs left thing. I believe as the founding fathers have that there shouldn't be any political parties for reasons like this. It is a way to divide the people.

Well, united under authoritarian rule isn't exactly the best alternative. Political parties are fine, but we should have way more than two.

We obviously disagree on a lot of issues. Haha.
That's why we need more than two parties, so you can find one that better represents your exact viewpoints and everyone else can do the same. There's a lot in the Democratic platform that I agree with, but a lot more views I have which don't fit into either party.

Praising Obama I see. He was scum along with anyone that supported him. The worst thing that ever happened to the U.S.

You don't have to have different political parties to discuss different viewpoints.

True, but it would be great if we could somehow have our ideas represented on a national level - however that's not really possible unless you fell hook, line and sinker for the Ds or Rs.

So those Antifa, huh?
Well, you'd have a party which Antifa would heavily identify with, and a party that Proud Boys and other extreme right-wing groups would heavily identify with. Neither of these parties would have as much representation as the more 'mainstream' viewpoints and parties, though. With so little true representation at current, people on either side are being pushed toward the fringes, believing that's the only way to make their voices heard.

While I understand I disagree due to arguing instead of working towards the greater good of the country

The thing is despite the founding fathers being against parties, they exist

And further they will always exist

So in that respect it's better if we could have many parties - this way no party could become too strong, as the electorate would always be split amongst smaller groups - thus creating a government with a higher degree of checks and balances
