Coming into threads like this after four pages is tons of fun. Plenty of fodder to laugh at and mull over. Each and every person contains alittle bs in the dispositions of their perspectives - and also completely overreacts to defend their position or vilify others. People are so damn prideful. Pride is and will be the downfall of everything. Pride keeps us and a number of people here, including myself, from being able to have constructive conversation as well as balanced perspectives.
Should
@amynhop be able to say whatever it is she said in other threads or this one regarding women and still support trump despite his comments? yes. because it looks like she has additional perspective. i.e. the nominating authority of the POTUS
is what
@brandoncross said as terrible as what some posters make it seem? No. Those responses to him were largely self righteous attempts to "feel better about themselves" or merely out of a desire to be contradictory. To act as if straight men aren't interested in sex with attractive women is kind of ridiculous. We can't help it if your sexual drive is on its downward trend. But the point is, Brandon or I or whomever, can point out the truth behind the male sexual drive AND still say "yeah, Trump should have probably not said it that way". In all honesty, I hadn't seen the video before I entered this thread. Reading the page and a half leading up to someone finally positing it, made me think the comments were MUCH worse. But that's just the result of my years of perspective and experience leading up to now (which i'm sure someone will respond saying: you must've been around a TON of overly arrogant bigoted men. Which I would kindly respond to with, actually no, I've just seen the movies produced by our entertainment industry, been to college, worked on construction sites over the summers growing up, played all sorts of sports, and yeah, dated a women or two who enjoyed talking dirty.)
Is what Trump said inappropriate, Yes. Can one still vote for him, despite them, Yes. The same way the liberals can say they would still vote for HRC despite her clear lying regarding almost everything. Bringing morality into this conversation regarding Trump and not accepting it in the other with HRC, shows a complete lack of mental awareness and fortitude.
I'll conclude by saying the most significant, and yet ironically overlooked post in this thread, was the spoof from The Simpsons. The issue is the options we have available. The two party system - created by themselves, largely to support themselves, puts the electorate in a position to be looked at and called crazy, stupid, so on and so forth. The positions of the parties are so wide from one another that any movement from one side to the other is like transitioning from a male to female. Therefore, as a result of only being able to be THIS or THAT, we are left living and dying by the goods and the bads of our "representatives" - and in the end, the very people who really are the only ones who can do anything about it, end up hating each other.
Let's call it what it is for once. Cause this crap takes place on both ends - and everyone just continues beating on everyone. Meanwhile, the issue grows larger and larger.
