Who do TBA's American members actually want to be elected

I agree with michaell and would chalk Republican control of Congress to mostly older people voting in midterms, people who aren't moved by rhetoric like "the right side of history" (opposite Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc.)

yes , old people especially retirees are the ones who actually go out and vote/caucus. the youth can bitch and moan all they want, they outnumber the baby boomers but they never go out and fucking vote. they leave their fate up to the older generation that they disagree with, have the power to stop it from happening but don't do it.

i get that it's easier for older people with literally nothing better to take their jalopy to the polling place while mr. millenial is stuck behind the chipotle counter all day, but for fuck's sake at least get an absentee ballot.

it's hard to make a balding jewish man in his mid-70's look like a cute girl

If it's between Trumpu-chan and nii-san in the GE I really don't know who I'll vote for. I kind of want it to be Trump and Hillary just because the debates would be more entertaining. Their rhetorical skills are more evenly matched imo.

your political system is so right wing it's actually disgusting. have fun whoever you vote for, lol

[SrsSam77]

having a spine and advocating individual and state rights isn't "so right wing" it should be the norm over the current welfare state coddle culture

[Bamyasi]

Left and Right wing are such meaningless terms. I prefer r/K selected.

i like the use of left-wing and right-wing cuz it highlights how the French Revolution and social embourgeoisement basically began the irreversible destruction of the western European tradition

there's a really stupid hashtag going around called #votebluenomatterwho

i wish americans thought about voting for people not parties

Maybe it's just because of my Japanese heritage, but his talk of extreme bigotry, openly calling for minorities to be beaten at his rallies, calls for databases, torture, approval of internment camps, murder of families of suspected terrorists, expansion of libel laws to eliminate all criticism, etc. make me a bit uneasy about that kind of bullying asshole being president. Maybe I'm not brown enough to be first against the wall, but the excessive anti-immigrant preaching of someone who refused repeatedly to disavow endorsements from the grand wizard of the KKK (an organization that his father was a member of) doesn't make me feel good about the future of this country or the safety of my mother and most of my friends.

Presidential power has been growing the past seven years due to a stagnant congress, and if you don't believe a president trump will executive order the living shit out of everything possible, you're fooling yourself.

lol

the irrational hysteria of trump haters encapsulated neatly
