Senate The US Politics discussion

I didn't say that it should be renamed. You're the one who brought it up. But alright. If there are good alternatives, let's stop honoring a slave owner with the names of two continents.

 

But Trump getting re-elected will be sweet revenge. It will be the silent majority giving the SJW culture the middle finger again.

 

I still don’t understand why America loves Columbus. The guy didn’t even discover what is the US. It’s so ****ing stupid.

 

I find Italian -Americans are the ones who honor him the most, that's the case in RI anyway.

 

What is wrong with being "politically correct "?


Thats the question, I want an answer not your usual obfuscation.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT?

I'm off to bed now as I'm British and its after midnight but I'll check back in around 18 hours.

I want a reason why being politically correct is a bad thing, why you have such an issue with it.


Take your time, I'm giving you till 6pm my time, that's 3/4 of a day from now, I'm sure you can articulate your feelings and belief in that time.

 

Gonna be honest I hate the term "politically correct." It essentially means that something isn't actually correct it's just the political thing to say. That's some 1984 garbage. No, being accepting of others isn't politically correct. Not being racist or sexist or bigoted isn't being politically correct. It's just....being correct. You know what is being politically correct? When you think someone for their service, that's being politically correct. When you unflinchingly support anything your country does, that's being politically correct. Because it's not actually correct to be or do those things.

 

And silent “majority” wasn’t even a majority last time. They lost by millions in the poplar vote.

 

The dude regurgitates talking points so his response is predictable. He's going to say there were millions of cases of voter fraud.

 

Its the reason why they are so determined to play up election fraud. They know they’re not a majority. They have to cheat and supress the vote any way they can.

Edit: and voter fraud is typically committed by ...republicans.

 

he won the most states, so that is why he is President of the United States. Simple

 

Glad to see you admit he doesn't represent a majority of Americans, starbob. He never has, and never will.

 

it's Representative of the will of the majority of states, which is the way a president should be elected.

 

Electoral college does not equal a majority of voters. Trump won fair and square. But not a majority of voters.

 

What about all the illegal votes!

You don’t win by winning the most states. What are you even talking about? You win by winning the electoral college. Which he did. He needed to win in Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas. Which he did. He did not need to win a majority of states.

 

When America is one big state then it should be the will of the people, until then Small states have the same right to decide who is President as the big states.

 

Except that isn't how it works - not only was the creation of states a wholly arbitrary process, but you support the disenfranchising of millions of people because your racist buddies are too scared of Hispanics and African-Americans. What was it about something involving taxation, and representation?

 

Probably anyone not white and male is suspect as illegally voting.

 

It's not the will of the people until it's the will of the people.

If they're so silent, why do their votes count more than mine?
