    There's some logic to it.

    Michael Eric Dyson has diarrhea at the mouth. He's a very intelligent man but he always has this long ass speech that mentally drowns you out. Plus he wouldn't let Eddie finish his point. Once Eddie start getting to the main points he kept trying to intervene.

    NOT voting is the stupidest ? I've heard all year.

    You don't like either of these goofy muhfuckas? VOTE 3RD PARTY.

    You don't like the 3rd party choices (cause Gary Johnson is being a colossial ? idiot right now, and Jill ain't getting NO airtime), WRITE-IN SOMEONE.

    But, VOTE.

    You're right. Let's make it mandatory for everyone to vote. Right?

    I can see voting for the lesser evil, but it determines how evil we're talking. There are extremes and to some voters the extremes are what matter AND range in different degrees of extreme for each voter.
    One thing I always tell folks who say "your ancestors died so you could vote," is that "my ancestors died so I could have the right to vote."
    Basically, if someone cannot feel at peace with voting for either candidate then don't vote if you truly do not want to or feel it right. It's a decision and their right for a reason. If it wasn't then why not just make it mandatory to vote.

    Sidenote on a different slant:
    I don't believe it is necessary for someone to have an opinion on everything. I usually have an opinion on 90% of things I see, but I can respect someone saying they truly in their biology and mental mindframe at a certain moment in their life don't have a particular care on (insert any given issue) an issue they might not know enough about or are confused about or want to not address. If that person is being truthful in their neutrality is up to them, but if it's sincere and true then I get it.

    I don't think it should be mandatory, but I think it should be a holiday where everybody gets the day off.
    Whether people vote or not is up to them, but it should be easy and accessible.

    This was an honest question I really wanna know the answer to, but instead of getting an answer I just get flagged and buried? can somebody please tell me why he gets so much heat? I heard he called women pigs lol I have called women a lot worse that does not make me bad we all say ? , I like the way Trump isn't (or doesn't seem to be) media trained, Hillary is just talking ? she comes from the same crew as Bush and Obama, before anyone says it yes I know I am not an American I am just giving my opinion from the outside looking in, so can anybody tell me why Trump is so hated?

    Omgggg please don't even bother. If you wanted to really know, you have an Internet connection.

    Www.google.com

    So you cannot answer my question but you can type an essay of ? in this thread? OK I understand now, you answered my question right there, so you all hate Trump because that's what the news tells you to do, ? sheep BAHHH BAHHH BAHHH.

    Your question isn't serious.

    If your question is serious ... than I can't take you or what you say seriously.

    You didn't name any valid reasons for a black person to vote in the presidential election

    And for the 1000th time, the popular vote does not matter

    This doesn't make sense

    How can you judge a person if you don't know anything about them?

    You should definitely be able to name some substantial reasons why you don't like trump since you're pushing so hard against him

    Once again, I don't care either way, it's just disingenuous

    You are lost. At least you're right about the popular vote....unless you live in a swing state, when it totally does matter.

    By the way, by not voting you give these Cacs ammo who say we're to lazy to do anything about our own concerns.

    That's the problem with you pseudo-militant "revolutionairies"....y'all swear y'all are doing ? to help out the communities, but in reality, most of you are just keyboard warriors who don't have a ? clue how to help out, except give self-righteous statements.

    1. You don't "know any of us" yet you presume all of us are "sheep" for having an opinion that differs than yours. Hypocritical much?

    2. Trump's glaring drawbacks are obvious to any person above grade school age who is paying attention ... even amongst his most avid supporters.

    3. There have been dozens of posts throughout this thread and other threads across the GNS forum in which the danger Trump poses to our country has been articulated in fine detail

    4. If for some reason, one was oblivious to these obvious drawbacks ... it would take 20 seconds on Google to get up to speed

    5. Again ... If a grown adult cannot form their own conclusion as to why one might consider Trump to be "so bad" - I, for one, cannot take them seriously.

    You seem to be imagining a lot about me based on your own feelings. Please stop trying to "figure me out" you're only gonna confuse yourself. Read my words for comprehension

    I give you facts about the political machine/process and you get emotional and try and change the subject. Electoral college members DO NOT have to vote the way that the people of their state vote PERIOD

    Once again, I'm still waiting for anyone to tell me a positive thing that any president in the history of this country has done specifically for black people.

    You seem to think you know what you're talking about so this should be easy for you to answer

    Please don't say freeing slaves

    Bruh that is why arguing or even debating with them is like debating with a female. They will do anything to win a debate. Calling for revolution but cant survive when the internet goes down.

    Edit: I may not agree with you but if you are putting in work then I will support you.

    I didn't call everyone sheep, I called people like you sheep

    Once again, you talk around the fact that you can't name any specific reasons why YOU SPECIFICALLY DON'T LIKE TRUMP

    Which just means that you're parroting propaganda that you heard somewhere else. Your opinion is devoid of any intellectual thought on your end

    I never give an opinion that I can't back up with evidence right on the spot and I've done that in many threads now.

    Once again, your post was mostly talking points and buzzwords.

    Why don't YOU SPECIFICALLY like trump? Why do you SPECIFICALLY like hillary? Why do you think they're different?(They are completely the same)

    Bet these broke ass white folks who support Trump are going to have their ? out at the polls on election day. Trump aint for them either, but they're loving his ass.
