So basically you guys don't care if Trump obliterates all of humanity and does away with all gov't help programs? You guys don't care if he destroys the world?! Basically it sounds like you guys are selfish in your apathy towards this crucial election which would determine the fate of America and the world as we all know it! If WW3 happens as a result of a possible Trump presidency and you guys vote for Stein, Trump or Johnson, THE BLAME IS ON ALL OF YOU! Not me, YOU!

I think this election is going to be like no other in recent history. There's going to be more anti-Trump and anti-Hillary votes cast than pro-Trump and pro-Hillary votes. Seems like nobody's really happy with their party's candidate- the prevailing attitude is "I don't like our guy/gal, but I'm sure as hell not going to vote for the other guy/gal."

Then there's the politicians in Congress- regardless of party affilaton, they're politicians first, and Democrats or Republicans second (and there's not a whole lot of difference between the two (IMO.) Far as I'm concerned, a person should be allowed to be elected to Congress as many times as their constituents vote them in, but their terms can't be consecutive. That would get rid of the "career politicians".

So much for my rant- feel free to flame away.
if it aint there, there's a good chance it won't break!

@ terceldude: Ever heard of "the time and the place?" I would doubt it.
I think my political leanings have been deciphered over the years, but I see no point in causing any friction on AN AUTO-RELATED SITE!
Go rant on Facebook!
All you are doing here is pissing off people and alienating them (I was tempted to merely write "...is irritating people...," but I figgered you would understand "pissing off" ...

There was a very knowledgeable member here some years ago (unfortunately now passed away) who had very thin skin. YOUR political remarks inflamed him and he certainly responded in kind - and then left. He eventually returned, but no thanks to you. We lost some valuable information by your totally inappropriate actions.

This thread was posted in the OFF-TOPIC section of a FORUM. I consider this subject fair game, as long as nobody gets lewd/rude. It's not like terceldude was shouting "FIRE!" in a theatre, or anything...

I'm not a fan of any of the candidates in this election cycle, but don't shut down someone's conversation just because they don't agree with your choice in policy or candidates. THAT is un-American.

@ The Professor -
Reread terceldude's (currently) ultimate post and then issue a conclusion.
While it is, as you point out, the Off Topic section of a Forum, positing one way or another about a political candidate, party, or position is irrelevant to the raison d'être of this site.
That I eschew stating MY opinions on politics here and perhaps chide those who do is hardly "un-American," and you should know/recognize that ...
You issued your J'accuse without realizing that I did not state an opinion or choice in my (currently) penultimate post; revisit it.

If I am pissing people off, then they don't want to hear the truth! Also FYI, I wasn't alienating anyone. they were doing that to themselves by voting for the rich aka Donald Trump - you know, the one that causes WW3.

Your truth is not necessarily everyone's truth; recognizing that is an indication of maturity.
Don't dig a deeper hole by impugning the views of others.

I think many would be pleased if both dropped off the face of the earth. I've noticed an extreme lack of yard signs for anyone above city/county positions. I would give the edge to Trump there. About 10 to 2 this weekend while heading up north.

Dude. If you want to help save America, maybe try turning your hat around, pull up your pants and get a job. Maybe someday you won't live in your mom's basement for the rest of your life. And on gvmt programs. The takers are straining the makers..

Yeah, I read it, and it seems pretty benign to me. Sounds like a politically disenfranchised person blowing off some steam online. You need to check out the off-topic section of some of the more active forums/facebook if you think what terceldude said was out of line. He didn't curse or didn't insult anyone's mother, so what's all the fuss about?

Are we talking AP or Chicago style? Based on the HTML code, you forgot the additional space at the end of the ellipsis, in either case. Bougie move dropping the French though, I had to look it up ... :roll:
