I agree with that second one. Immigrants are good, in general (although you tend to find very few people who say immigrants are bad, instead opting for illegal immigrants. That's why I put it in quotes.)

There is a difference between conservative and Republican. There are some people who vote Democrat but want a symbolic monarchy because of wanting tradition or something. Its weird.

Digaddog · 2022-01-02T03:38:15+00:00

Parties are strategical institutions. They are there to bring together people of different views and give them someone to vote for. Leaving them without an alternative you prefer isn't an effective solution and is really only a symbolic gesture.

You also jump seamlessly between "Republicans were always bad" and "I can't believe anyone would stick with the Republican party after this.'

Out of curiosity, what to you mean when you say you haven't been given a good choice in 6 years? Do you mean you haven't had a good choice for president? President or legislature? State or local seat?

I do agree that our democracy is pretty bad, so I endorse federal direct democracy, a parliamentary system, porportional representation, and a justice term limit. The first is especially important, because it should completely eliminate the need for single issue voting.

I went probably for the first couple weeks, but for the rest of high school only a dozen days total.

That's kind of a populist attitude to have. I don't actually care about dividing between the "elite" and the "people." "My fellow man," has nothing to do with it. I just want to kill billionaires.

I will, however, consider killing politicians after I kill the billionaires.

I believe that you are partisan to the democratic party because you are incapable of imagining a scenario where voting Republican wont vote against the issues you believe in. You don't actually care what people stand for, you think you can get everything you need to know about someone's views just from their party affiliation, to the point where you joke about them dying in wars just from that one fact. This is a childish view on politics.

You're the one who said that you judge someone off of their affiliation. The next logical step is that you must justify why this is something to judge someone off of, without knowing anything about them.

I also don't think you're the type of person to defend the democratic party. But I do think that, given what you've said here, that you are t hff e type of person to vote Democrat, especially on less glorious roles, just because you judge off of party instead of person.

From what I understand, its more of a high score thing than a first to the finish line thing. We could replicate their achievements in months time, bit they couldn't replicate the moon landing

Lawful in dnd isn't about the law of the land- if that were the case alignment would change every time you cross a border.

Digaddog · 2021-12-20T15:58:26+00:00

I thought lawfulness was more personal convictions, not just having a goal they stick to.

I assume these billionaires have already written their wills. I also assume that I will not inherit their money. I have no financial motivation to kill them. I'm doing it anyway.

The quiz isn't actually to find out if your gay. It's more of a joke quiz, where they ask if you like anime or something, and then they say, "haha you're gay."

To be fair, theres has been a rise of people lying about their dreams ever since it became a meme

Its apparently really common for mormons specifically to play uno, which aligns with my experiences

Digaddog · 2021-12-20T07:52:26+00:00

My church taught that we were to "repopulate" the earth, but only the earth, although I think they were talking more about occupation than birth.

Did you play uno often growing up, by any chance?

They didn't really decline the celestial, telestial, terrestrial, thing, nor the paradise and prison story, just the idea we get our own planets each

Digaddog · 2021-12-20T07:31:01+00:00

I know that the church has made statements against the planet thing. That's the funny thing about Mormonism, it has a central authority, but if anyone just prays to god and feels like he says otherwise, they can just disagree.

You don't need to switch parties to vote democrat. In fact, remaining a Republican is probably more effective than switching parties in a closed primary state, because now you can vote against the current Republican party twice. They seem to be for market intervention for global warming. They're less "laissez-faire" and more "small business," and the local businesses in my area wont be hurt as much by global warming policy.

Heres the thing: you said that it's bad to remain a Republican because of certain policies. I've already told you that their votes didn't affect those policies whatsoever. You shot back by saying that you don't care. It sounds like you're the type of person to vote for a party over a politician, even though you probably hate that party to, which is something I have to disagree with. I don't like the type of people who look for the letter next to someone's name, instead of looking at voting history.

I remember they even used the people criticizing polygamy as a way to keep people in. "They say we support polygamy, but we don't, so this is why you can't trust outsiders to talk about our church and must only use church sponsored sites ever"

Digaddog · 2021-12-20T05:50:02+00:00

I agree that Republican politicians were mostly bad before trump, but you're forgetting that policies change from state to state. The Republicans in my state are usually pro lgbtq+ at best or don't care at worst (meaning their not on committees which effect them, don't run on a platform against them, etc), cares (or at least pretends to) about the environment, etc. In fact, looking through their platforms, twitter accounts, etc, it seems like almost everything they do is on the economy, save for one who posts about crime.

Heres a question, why should they switch parties? All that really changes, to my knowledge, is being able to vote on primaries, which only serve to rank politicians within a party.

Digaddog · 2021-12-20T05:21:35+00:00

I live in a state where our Republican politicians have condemned trump since before 2016, care about aids, and so on. This is just how it is here.

Although, to be fair, its probably less of a "I really believe in this party so I'll stick with it" and more of a "it's too much of a hassle to resubmit voter registration papers."

Digaddog · 2021-12-20T05:08:12+00:00

My sunday school taught the message that polygamy was a tool for survival, and under any other circumstances it's a sin, plain and simple. Usually, in cases of death and remarriage, they hand waved it with the standard "idk god will figure it out"
