Lmfao get fucked kid

lol @ at a fucktard who calls people who he doesn't know... "kid".

There are plenty of Adults here at Sherdog....You're not one of them.

 

[glenwo2]

Are you serious?

Trump? Rubio? Hell, O'Malley?

Trump said plenty that was on-topic.

Rubio? O'Malley? Well okay...you're right about those two.

 

[glenwo2]

Not sure if serious

So someone deciding not to run because he wants to be with his family more, doesn't deserve respect?


I think you and I are reading into what he said a bit differently if that is your reaction.

Yes, that's the same meaning I just referenced. Republican governance has all the features of an undemocratic autocracy that seeks to enrich itself without regard for or responsibility to the interests of the citizenry or country.

? He made that statement what, four months ago?

It was clear he had already decided to run a month ago. So he went from "I'll never run, it will rip my family apart" to running in about 90 days.

 

[Trotsky]

Rubio? O'Malley? Well okay...you're right about those two.

Both Rubio and O'Malley are more substantive and less hollowly rambling than Trump.

lol @ at a fucktard who calls people who he doesn't know... "kid".

I think he was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

 

[glenwo2]

? He made that statement what, three months ago?

It was clear he had already decided to run a month ago. So he went from "I'll never run, it will rip my family apart" to running in about 60 days.

That vid was an interview from 3 months ago??

Would've been nice if there was a disclaimer :

"Oh btw, just in case anyone gets confused, this was a statement made by him 3 months ago. Now he's obviously changed his mind".

I have always trusted your posts and believed the vid was RECENT.

Excuse me if I wasn't skeptical from someone that I had no reason to be skeptical of (you).

Disagree, but that's not really important.

The point was that O'Rourke speaks in platitudes, at length.

You are reading much more into what he said than he actually did say. It seems like you are hearing electoral reform in his words (perhaps ending the electoral college or using the federal government to fight gerrymandering), but it's not even clear that's what he was talking about.

 

[glenwo2]

You would know about that, since you are the expert.

I think he was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

I think he was being an arrogant turd.

Like all of you shitty leftist dickheads.

November 3, 2018. Edited the original post for clarity.

Nice. That would've helped.

I would not even have replied if the date was there.

 

[glenwo2]

Thanks for spending the time to make a meme of me! I see that you are quite happy to be paying $50 per asprin and $30 per pair of latex gloves at a hospital while our tax money is spent by giving 36 billion to Israel! I'm glad you support the healthcare industries right to rip us off.

Medicare for All! Medicare for all!!! Green New Deal!!!


Anyway, in all seriousness, I'm going to tell you straight out with EXTREME CONFIDENCE that Bernie Sanders will NEVER be POTUS. #AmericaWillNeverBeASocialistCountry

Now I know why many here have a very low opinion of you.

(and you were one of the first I put on my list of dummies)

[BarryDillon]

I'm gonna ask this with my face covered (because I fear the answer)

Are their ANY moderate candidates that don't push identity politics and are not screaming to change the entire structure of our economy?

Bernie Sanders.

 

[glenwo2]

 

[glenwo2]

Bernie Sanders.

That's actually true.

If you ignore the Socialism he would bring.

 

[BarryDillon]

Being a New Deal Democrat isn't close to socialism. Try reading a book sometime. Thanks.
