Well, really I was just talking about signs in peoples yards and not so much the more national stuff. As mentioned I do have friends with signs for both Drumph and Cankle who have had their signs stolen / ripped up etc. One with a Cankle sign had it ripped in half and "c**t" scrawled on it in magic marker... and yes I do think it is really sad that there are people who would do things like that from either side.madhatter wrote:
c'mon even you know that the left is FAR more prone to vandalism and other juvenile acts based solely on emotional response...to even remotely suggest that the right regularly vandalizes private and public property as a means of political demonstration is absurd...
Nationally, I would probably agree we see perhaps somewhat more of it from the loony left... however there is plenty from the loony right as well... there has been planned parenthood harassment / threats / shootings from religious right wing zealots, Bundy ranch standoffs, I remember when Obamacare was passed bricks being thrown through democratic office windows, threats of violence to any official who would vote for Obamacare etc etc, so lets not pretend there are no loons on the right side of things either.
Obviously I denounce it all.
In a way you are correct. I was much more enthusiastic about Johnson before he proved himself to be somewhat of a dope with his lack of foreign policy knowledge. I really really wish Weld were at the top of the ticket, then it would be a no brainier. Keep in mind that there is zero chance that Massachusetts does not go blue, so my vote will really be more of a protest vote, but at least I'll be able to sleep at night knowing I didn't vote for either the idiot or the criminal. (Actually as it is turning out they both could very well end up being criminals).madhatter wrote:
I can see where ya don't want drumph whose name was never drumph BTW cuz ya know , he's orange ( apparently the only color of skin that is totally acceptable to attack other than maybe white) and women let him "grab em on the pussy" ( unless you've experienced it yourself it's hard to understand that women are FAR more aggressive than men when they see one they want, it's also easy to understand why women who could never attract those men would hate both them and the women who seek them)... he also says "bigly"...but to be honest EVERY R candidate would be a nonstarter for you/them anyway...Actually I voted for Kasich in the primary and looking forward I'm hoping Charlie Baker is a viable candidate in 4 years so indeed there are R candidates I would be happy to vote for
I can also see where if you have even one shred of integrity or concern for the electoral process or the rule of law where one couldn't support hillary either...
but ONE of them WILL be president and last I checked none of trumps "transgressions" would play any role in governing, where-as every part of clintons "transgressions" would certainly affect every aspect of "governing"...
trump transgressions = emotional
clinton transgressions = criminal
pretty simple...
meanwhile in your particular case and I'm paraphrasing " I wish johnson wasn't a complete moron but I'll vote for him anyway" is supposed to represent any kind of in depth political analysis or perspective? or a viable option? it's basically a punt...an excuse to say I didn't vote for clinton... you also did nothing to help put her in jail where she belongs...only a trump win will allow hillary to be held accountable for her crimes and corruption...a victory for her allows her to whitewash it all and double down w even more cover...
