MTH Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I don't really care about politics. Am I the only one? Tired of it ruining everything. 99% of the people really have no ability to really change anything in government. So why are they so worried and cranked up? Your vote matters? Really? NJ already sent their electoral votes to Joe Biden. You're wasting your time. Wasting my time talking at me about it.... I. Don't. Care. I just want to enjoy life. I think these politics fan boys and girls are the same folks that are sitting in the last row of the hockey arena yelling at the coach 3,000 feet away.

coopaloop1234 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I want Trump to lose so I can stomach going on Social Media again without feeling like I'm being beaten over the brow about how "Orange Man Bad". I want Trump to win to watch the inevitable melt down. I'm torn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 I enjoyed SNL forever. But the past few years it's too much politics and all. Stuff is too topical and the easy cheap laugh. I know the people on the show are really funny and all. It's seems like a waste of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they have to try so hard now to rip him because they were so wrong then saying he'd never win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumpy Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I ain’t watched SNL forever but it just aint funny no more the politics just went to one sided no one touches the democrats and they do some comical shit just like republicans. I aint on one side but politicians are out of touch dummies in general we need Fred Sanford to tell them this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyGrips13 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Politics makes enemies out of those who would otherwise be friends. It's okay to disagree with someone. Someone who doesn't share your opinion isn't automatically evil or dumb. Can't we all just get along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Boiss Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Everything in life is political. Things are only "non-political" or "normal" when they don't conflict with the status quo. When the status quo is being upset on a daily basis, such as by a wanna-be autocrat and his fascist underlings, then everything everyone does is going to appear to be political, even if they do not intend to make a political statement.

Here's where it gets me....the assumption that things would be all unicorns and rainbows if Hilary was elected instead of Trump.....both sides suck. Politicians are not your friends. I just want the person that is going to try and screw me and my family less than the other person. The local town/county elections are really the only place where my vote actually counts in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Boiss Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 The fallacy of false balance is why the Overton window in the USA has shifted so far to the right. Nobody who is being honest thinks Clinton would've been unicorns and rainbows, but let's not pretend that she would've mishandled things as poorly as the current administration. That isn't honest either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't honest either. Thats just it though; all we know for "sure" is the actual past and present. Supposing Hilary got elected like "everyone" said she was going to, there could have been a different issue that could have caused way more (or less) chaos then Covid. (or Covid could have just suicided itself in a Washington DC park...who knows....). On a better and way more fun note, I was able to replace some of my eflex500 gear with warrior R/GT pads and a G4 catcher and got to use them last night in a pickup (haven't played since March). Holy smokes my hip joints but those pads and catcher were such an upgrade it was ridiculous. Gonna have to keep a look out for a blocker on the cheap to round it out.

My dad was a local politician (volunteer - no pay) for decades. Won elections as Republican, Independent and as a Democrat. People knew him and voted for him. County/state stuff is why him (and others) had to change parties over the years. Yet the clowns in town would say stuff like "he's corrupt and was bought out". We wished! My dad drove his work van as his personal car. Name and phone number on the side, ladders on the roof and full of buckets of paint. When he was mayor and the state gave him mayor tags, he put them on his van. He told one butthead at a meeting to go out on the parking lot and look for the fancy car with mayor tags on it then come and discuss the 'kick backs' for being mayor. Local party for politics affects state and county funding. Funny how if the county is democrat... all the democrat ran towns get road grants and all. They always seemed to run out grant money when the other towns asked. So the people in town did what they had to do to get more for the town.
