the two party system is unnatural

Quote from: Verbatim on October 30, 2020, 09:41:29 PM

and speaking as someone who voted third party in the last election and would vote third party again, voting third party in THIS election, just because "two party system bad," is also kind of cringe

there's a bigger problem on our hands right now and it must be expunged immediately

Agreed wholeheartedly.
There's so much wrong with the two part system but it's more important getting the literal James Bond villain out of office right now.

You really don't think you're overselling that?

New wuestion, what is the worst change in your life in the last four years and what how do you expect it to get better/worse depending on who wins

Well I almost joined the National Guard but now I'm banned from joining.

How do you think your life changed because you missed the opportunity?

Well I most likely would've been deployed out to help fight the wildfires and to suppress the protests, so...

I mean do you feel like you missed any opportunities for personal growth or achievement?
Or maybe you found new ones?

I became quite disillusioned after the ban officially went into effect (and on my birthday too) and my recruiter ghosted me even though I scored high on my ASVAB. I was looking for stability and structure in my life and thought that going reserves and staying local with the NG would give me that. Tried to join the Conservation Corps after the ban but I was a year too old to join. Then I lost both of my jobs to covid. Now I'm at a point where I no longer see a future with any semblance of stability.

Damn I'm sorry that happened to you. Pandemic won't last forever though. Have you given thought to plans for after? Is reenlisting an option?

Right now the plan is to save up to move to a more civilized country after I'm done with some stuff.

Where are you going and what are going to do there?

I'm not ready to reveal my cards yet but there are a few places I'm considering, for a few I'll have to learn a new language but I'm not opposed to the idea. I'm currently majoring in cybersecurity and may pursue something in that avenue but I'm leaving my options open for the time being. If there's one thing I am, it's adaptable. But I'm tired of playing the stockholm syndrome game with this country.

If it gives you peace of mind, more power to you
I hope it treats you better than the National Guard did

Not to mention the straight up global pandemic that he's intentionally letting kill thousands of people a week just so he can flex and pretend it's not happening.

Or earlier this year when he almost started WW3 because he just couldn't hold his brown people murder boner in his pants, known terrorist supporter or not.

It really should be sufficient motivation to get Trump out of office when you look at the scoundrels that rally in support of him. If your entire presidency is a magnet for poorly educated, racist dimwits, you might want to do some self-reflection if you genuinely think he's a force of good in the United States.

When siding with the alternative, how much progress do you think is really being made? Besides the base of support that you mention?

I don't believe Biden will make tremendous progress, because I'm aware that he isn't willing to push this country in the direction I ultimately think is needed to satisfy my expectations for a government. I'm voting for him because the alternative is a man who I genuinely think scrapes brain matter out of the population.

I'm not a politics-savvy person, my area of experience is in the sciences. Because I've dedicated a sizable chunk of my life to studying physics, I have a high level of respect for the input of groups such as climate scientists, virologists, and other researchers whose work has been needlessly politicized by laymen. People aren't capable of admitting they have no clue what the fuck they're talking about, and the dumbest of them just listen to right-wing complainers who are perturbed by the words of scientific consensus because it inconveniences them. They have no foresight or perspective.

As many (If not most) Biden supporters say, it's not because I love Biden, it's because I think Trump is genuine cancer.

Six goddamn years since Recess.

he said he's finishing up his next "body of work" when he posted Kliptown Empyrean. being optimistic i expect the album(s) he's kept alluding to sometime early 2021

Yeah I know, I'm really hoping we can get it within the next year or so. Man needs to come back and shake up the scene a little bit.

I just want Trump to find he lost while on Fox News and have a heart attack right there on air. I want him to cry, and turn purple, and shit himself and fall over dead.

Not gonna happen but I can dream for at least another day.

An old Bnet user from 2010, probably best known for my "I am immortal" thread.

I mean, I didn't vote for Trump so IDK what you're talking about.

Same way I feel about voting for the losers up here. Nothing's really going to change as long as the system exists as it does. Cast a vote for whatever side and they'll make a few changes to ensure they have a voting base next time, but it all amounts to the same thing behind the scene no matter who's elected. Either way I'm just passing through. It's for people who're invested enough to decide, not me.

lol I'm not the one who let an election control my life to the point of depression #MyPresident

not sure who you're referring to here, but generally speaking, it seems pretty stupid to brag about being so emotionally stunted that universally important shit doesn't matter to you

I didn't say it doesn't matter to me
