You can't buck the system with the system backing you

If you were happy with the last president vote Thug

he system from last election doesn't exist. Go to the previous threads and read what @Lead has said about how different the voter registry is from last year.

But Homer shitposts more than irish_thug so in that way he's more like Palis. So if you want the continuity of a shitposting POTWR except with the politics inverted than Homer is the candidate for you.

How many total votes were there in the last round?

Primary saw 189 votes cast, up from 111 last year.

As long as it walked on 4 legs I don't think Rob Ford cared

 

[Fawlty]

@HomerThompson

What are your plans for the sticky? I saw some good ideas in the primary but I can't recall either of you elaborating on your own plans for it.

 

[MacDuffle]

No more identity politics.

meh

Identity politics does a solid job isolating abuse in specific categories i.e. women's intl. health laws, racial discriminatory practices, LGBT violence worldwide that sort of thing - having an advocacy group narrow their focus to "violence in the black community" or "discrimination against disabled Hawaiians" makes that advocacy better directed instead of having to address the rights of hundreds of demographics simultaneously

First World countries are always fed up with identity politics because their own citizens champion these causes, in many cases from positions of privilege (they are, after all, citizens living in a highly modernized, developed environment) without a single nod to the impossibility of those identity politics a mere 20 years ago in countless contexts, or outright rejected by less modernized countries today, right now

Ignoring historical context 99% of the time, modernized nations become fed up with their own modernity and start getting nostalgic for regressive politics, i.e. removing identity politics and more recent categorizations of people that didn't have rights in generations previous, all for the sake of getting 'less noise' about dozens of different issues. Nobody likes getting 50 newsletters demanding a money pledge in the mail, we get it. But trashing identity politics is the reason we see women's advocacy on an international scale backslide even in progressive countries, immigration tolerances fall by the wayside, tribal laws preserved over State protections, all that stuff.

Now you’re sounding like a real politician, my point still stands
Homer is likely the biggest bitch the warrom has ever had and now he wants to be potwr?

Hell if he was a mod there wouldn’t be but a couple posters left

Both of our sticky thread ideas are in the OP.

You manage to catch the fights yet?

 

[Islam Imamate]

Both you guys got lame ideas. Still on the fence.

 

[HomerThompson]

@Jack V Savage @Fawlty @HomerThompson @M3t4tr0n and @Rod1 all come to mind. They all either lay out there points in an intelligent fashion or have other traits that allow me to see past political differences. I'm sure there others. Hell, I even liked a @Rational Poster post last night, so anythings possible.

I was endorsed as a quality poster by my opponent @irish_thug.

Vote Thompson!

OK.
