Deranged lunatics... pick a side

Post by Chizzang »

I feel like we've all been forced to decide which group of deranged lunatics we disagree with the least...
Never before has the lunatic fringe on both sides been more valuable, powerful and televised

:shock:

The more unreasonable and maniacal you are the better
people that have nothing to say of any value are getting their full 15 minutes

We're going on 25 years of fucking juveniles running the country. At some point (and GOD, I hope it's soon), the adults will have to step up and take over. Because this country has officially jumped the shark.

Hence the growth of CNN, CNBC, Fox News etc, during the same timeframe.

Im telling you guys, the right to vote needs to be earned. Pass a middle-school-level civic literacy test at the poll or "pow!" your ballot doesn't count.

Many on the left are easy to identify......and ultimately avoid.
The ones on the right are more difficult to identify. Lack of quick identification can result in a reduction of productivity. These people need to carry signs or something so they can be avoided as well.

I think thing about Juveniles running the country reached a whole new level in January, 2017.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Agree, it is too easy now, do not even have to go to polling place.

To have to make an actual effort, I only want those who really want to vote, and also have them make an informed vote.

Us god damn milennials have been ruining the country since we were in preschool.

We really are a bunch of fuck ups.

As much as I hate that the ignorant masses have the same vote I do (actually most count MORE because I live in a state/county that will never go Red (except apparently for Gov)), I'm not sure that's how the FF's intended our system to work. I'm only spitballing but my guess is a vast majority of the electorate in the 18th Century couldn't pass a middle school civic literacy test, hell, many couldn't probably even read.

If you went by state rank of educational achievement level the electoral map might change a just a bit.

No doubt. But at the same time, some newly nominated individuals might not have been eligible for office. 8-)

Because if you don't your vote will be hacked! The fucking Communists!
