Republican debate

It's sad that Trump has been so immature with his campaign not that I'd want him in but he's a very intelligent man and might have been good.

Note I said maybe and might lol not saying Id want him in but there's no denying his intelligence. Too bad he's so damn arrogant

Well, I wouldn't call it very smart to say he would rather have Clinton win than any other conservative.

I'd chalk that up to his arrogance/immaturity. Think of what he's done with his life you can't be that successful by luck that takes hard work and some brains

I'll put money on it that trump doesn't get elected.

How much and what odds?

Fire them. They are all collecting paychecks that they aren't earning.

Both dems and repubs : 2 party .politics. has wasted the american people's time and money

Do not antagonise people if you do not have to. Do not fire them, change their powers from 'we can change the rules of the game' to 'we can change level* of taxes'.

* number, %, whatever you decide, then stick to it and let the congress change it based on what justice, intelligence, police, army and administration needs, and do not change anything else. Do not let them change the laws, let them change the measurable level of oppression.

In practice this can be done as next constitution amendment, adding 'this is the entire law, all the rest is just commentary to be or not to be struck down by the judiciary.' etc.

Also please note that with my presence in this political thread your chances of getting banned rise from almost zero to almost zero

Unless you lie

Unless you lie

Indeed, but we always do warnings so all is always clear and nobody can claim that they did not understand what they are asked to stop doing

Bernie seems the most rational choice at the moment. But Americans see the word socialist and freak out, so he doesn't stand a chance. What we need is a rehaul of the whole system. I think a technocracy with a highly educated parliament( required phd's in a wide range of fields) would be the most efficient government. Or just straight up free anarchy, but that dream of mine will never be met till the end of days lol.

I think Bernie is a great choice also, for once I feel I can trust an old white man running for president

Well, about a decade ago no-one would have seen a black man in the White House. Not saying he has a shot now, but there could come a time that the citizens of the USA decide they want a new deal...

Never said anything about odds. Just a bet

Americans are right to hate socialism as this is the system which has been proven to do tremendous damage to the people.

Your idea of technocracy with a highly educated parliament is wishful thinking based on nothing. You can as well wish that everybody were you, rich, healthy and high. In other words, keep your dreams to yourself, .politics. is art of making change in reality as we share it not in reality as you dream it.

So a default 1:1? Not very good odds as I can get 13:2 after a quick google, so I'll pass

While I agree a lot of harm has been done by "socialist" .politics. (I don't have to tell you, Piotr, you lived it while I only saw the slightest hints through history classes & a visit to Hungary and Tsjechia after the collapse).
However, the fear of any movement towards the left is very strong in America. Would it really be so bad to divide things a bit more equal?
Right now the corporations seem to dictate .politics. through lobby. I don't think that's the healthiest system either. However, looking at China, I can understand it is hard to get a proper system. Humans are humans after all.
