Hello DCC!
Didn't bernie say he'd run again in 2020? |
Ah, ok, I was a bit confused about it because I kept hearing different stuff. ^^
|
discord carked it
|
Again...
|
Personally, I would prefer Joe Biden to run. Guy would probably win in a landslide.
Or, you know, some younger candidates. You only have to be 35 to run, yet we have people in their 60's running. Come on. |
I'm not sure if there's an age restriction here, I could probably run for PM.

Yeah, you wouldn't think it was true but it definitely was. I am getting kinda sick of older politicians though, because it's kind of turning younger people away. In Australia we actually had a member of Parliament who was only aged in his 20's, until he lost his seat at last year's federal election. |
mfw politics
i try not to involve myself in politics really, but trump is so ridiculous its hard to not say anything |
I'm not an extreme nationalist, so naturally current politics aren't really something I can get behind.
God almighty it makes for one dramatic shit show right now, though. |

i get you though, i avoided politics for yeeeears because nothing other than negativity ever seems to come from it. and i still think that's true but i've figured that, as a citizen of your country, it's important to know what's going on and how that impacts you and other people - even if it mostly feels negative and dramatic. |
I voted in my country's last election, myself! I voted for Trudeau so

But then, because of all that negativity and drama - a lot of it the fault of the media, although opposing parties acting like children fighting on the playground certainly doesn't help matters - I prefer not to get too worked up or involved regardless of what it is. At the end of the day it's not really a topic I allow to impact my daily life significantly (at least in the sense of how much I think about it) or consider important to me personally; as I said, I don't share what seems to be the prevailing majority perspective in politics right now. I guess that makes me very self-centered and narrow-minded, but...oh well. EDIT: Oh, I'm not saying people who CAN get behind current politics are all nationlists either, just in case that's implied in anything I've said. All I'm saying is that extreme nationalism - or at the very least, isolationism - seems to be the current trend in politics, and I just don't agree with it. Obviously, agreeing with the things some politicians are doing does not make you a nationalist by default. Sorry if it sounds like that's what I'm saying or implying; it's not intentional and not what I mean. This is another reason I don't like getting involved in politics, it's such a heated area a lot of the time...just discussing it can be like walking blindfolded through a minefield. |
I have strong political opinions, myself, that not many agree with (a "social justice warrior" if you will), so I avoid it at all costs and try to be more mellow.
|
The term "social justice warrior" seems to have become a catch-all term for "person I don't agree with" on the internet...which is weird, given the original definition of the term "social justice" and what a lot of people seem to argue for and against...can't we move beyond GamerGate yet?
I don't really have the energy to argue with people anymore...I don't honestly care if people disagree with me about things. I'm used to people disagreeing with me about pretty much everything at this point. xD |
Well, people aren't really interested in listening to one another most of the time. Just proving their imagined superiority because reasons. I suppose that's a horrible generalisation, but that's generally what happens when people argue instead of discuss.

razor leaf is a keyboard warrior who wouldnt fight me in real life
also he is ginger |
I don't like political discussions as well, but mostly because I'm not too knowledgeable about stuff that is complex as hell, and as such makes most people look dumb when discussing it.
I'm a leftie myself. Both socially and economically. |

i worked in insurance for over a year and i can safely say that isn't my interest.

Most stuff is complex if you don't understand it.
|
i hate that sjw is used as an insult now on the internet :/ it bothers me. also 'special snowflake'. like..it's not bad to be an sjw, as long as you're not extreme about it, and being 'outside of the box' isn't necessarily bad either as long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone around you

I'm an optics nerd. That's one complexity. ;) |
